Key result
PGF2α potentiates platelet aggregation in vitro via EP3 and TP receptors, and facilitates hemostasis and thromboembolism in vivo in mice.
Why the study?
While other prostanoids regulate platelet function, the effect of PGF2alpha on platelet function remained to be determined.
Does Prostaglandin F2α facilitate platelet activation and thromboembolism in mice?
Population
Wild-type mice and mice lacking FP, EP3, TP, or both EP3 and TP
Comparison
PGF2alpha treatment vs control in vitro and in vivo across mouse genotypes
Design
In vitro and in vivo animal experimental study

PGF2α may promote thromboembolism via EP3/TP; leaves open human relevance and targeted intervention studies.
Does Prostaglandin F2α facilitate platelet activation and thromboembolism in mice?
PGF2α facilitates platelet aggregation and thromboembolism in vivo by acting on EP3 and TP receptors, rather than its canonical FP receptor.
Kashiwagi et al. (2019) studied Platelet function and thrombosis. PGF2α was evaluated on Platelet aggregation, bleeding time, and acute thromboembolism. PGF2α potentiates platelet aggregation in vitro via EP3 and TP receptors, and facilitates hemostasis and thromboembolism in vivo in mice.
