Biosynthesis and secretion of beta-thromboglobulin by a human megakaryoblastic cell line (MEG-01).

The de-novo synthesis and secretion of beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) by a human megakaryoblastic cell line (MEG-01) were studied by measuring and immunoblotting of BTG in culture supernatant and immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled BTG synthesized after incubation with [35S]methionine. It was demonstrated that BTG synthesized by MEG-01 was secreted into culture media in a monomer form having a molecular weight of 8,800. Furthermore, we purified BTG from culture medium of MEG-01 with a heparin affinity column and compared BTG from MEG-01 with that from normal platelets. The molecular weights of BTG purified from both sources were 8,800 using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). These results provide direct evidence for the synthesis and secretion of BTG by megakaryocytes.
