Astilbe chinensis Modulates Platelet Function via Impaired MAPK and PLCγ2 Expression

Figure 3

Astilbe chinensis extract blocks fibrinogen binding to integrin β3 in collagen-induced platelets. (a) Flow cytometry was used to measure fibrinogen binding to collagen (2.5 μg/mL)-stimulated platelets pretreated with various concentrations of A. chinensis extract [(A) Resting, (B) Vehicle, (C) 25 μg/mL, (D) 50 μg/mL, and (E) 100 μg/mL]. (b) Bar graph summarizing the inhibitory effect of A. chinensis extract on fibrinogen binding to integrin β3. p < 0.01 and p< 0.001 versus control.
