Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, we conducted an investigation into the effect of cilostazol on the phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and the release of platelet factor 4 and soluble CD 40ligand from collagen-activated platelets in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.
It was demonstrated that the rate of platelet aggregation was reduced up to 1.0 micro M, and the levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 (Ser-78 and Ser-82) were also attenuated after cilostazol adminstration.The released platelet factor 4 and soluble CD 40ligand levels from collagen-stimulated platelets were reduced by administration of cilostazol. These results strongly suggest that cilostazol inhibit collagen-induced activation of platelets through attenuation of phosphorylated-HSP27 and release of platelet factor 4 and soluble CD 40ligand in type 2 DM patients.
