Washed rabbit platelets stimulated with platelet-activating factor, thrombin, or arachidonic acid, released a slow-reacting substance (SRS), whereas platelets aggregated by adenosine diphosphate did not. Production of platelet-derived SRS was neither affected by indomethacin nor aspirin but was reduced by large doses of eicosatetraynoic acid, an inhibitor of the cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase. L-cysteine enhanced markedly the release of SRS from platelets. This SRS activity, which was antagonized by FPL 55712 and inactivated by arylsulfatase, followed the same elution pattern on Amberlite, silicic acid, and reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography columns as that described for the SRS from other origins. SRS activity released from platelets preincubated with [14C]arachidonic acid exhibited the same retention time as radioactivity in reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. The release of a SRS from platelets is consistent with their implication in the pathogenesis of asthma and other lung diseases.
