| Research Abstract |
Removal of blood clots at sites of bone fracture or injection of an t i-coagulan t delay s heal ing of bone fracture. This suggests platelets may contain or release factors that stimulate proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes and bone cells. In the present study. we purified from the extracts of human platelets two polypeptides that stimulated DNA and proteoglycan syntheses in chondfocyte cultures. In SDS-PAGE, they migurated at positions corresponding to Mr. 10000-12000 and 28000-29000. Thesefactors differed from FGF. TGF-beta and PDGF with respects to their biological and physicochemical properties. Thus. the novel growth factors from human platelets will be useful for promoting healing of bone fracture.
