Abstract The mechanism of generation of factor VIIa, considered the initiating protease in the tissue factor-initiated extrinsic limb of blood coagulation, is obscure. Decreased levels of plasma VIIa in individuals with congenital factor IX deficiency suggest that generation of VIIa is dependent on an activation product of factor IX. Factor VIIa activates IX to IXa by a two-step removal of the activation peptide with cleavages occurring after R191 and R226. Factor IXaα, however, is IX cleaved only after R226, and not after R191. We tested the hypothesis that IXaα activates VII with mutant IX that could be cleaved only at R226 and thus generate only IXaα upon activation. Factor IXaα demonstrated 1.6% the coagulant activity of IXa in a contact activation-based assay of the intrinsic activation limb and was less efficient than IXa at activating factor X in the presence of factor VIIIa. However, IXaα and IXa had indistinguishable amidolytic activity, and, strikingly, both catalyzed the cleavage required to convert VII to VIIa with indistinguishable kinetic parameters that were augmented by phospholipids, but not by factor VIIIa or tissue factor. We propose that IXa and IXaα participate in a pathway of reciprocal activation of VII and IX that does not require a protein cofactor. Since both VIIa and activated IX are equally plausible as the initiating protease for the extrinsic limb of blood coagulation, it might be appropriate to illustrate this key step of hemostasis as currently being unknown.

SummaryAn abnormal blood coagulation factor IX has been isolated from the blood of a hemophilia B patient with a variant of the disease (hemophilia Bm) characterized by a normal concentration of factor IX antigen, negligible factor IX coagulant activity, and a prolonged prothrombin time with bovine tissue factor. The isolated protein (factor IXBm) had the same apparent molecular weight as normal factor IX (55,000) and the same mobility on two dimensional immunoelectrophoresis as normal factor IX. Factor IXBm underwent limited proteolysis induced by activated factor XI, in the presence of Ca2+ ions, or induced by the reaction product of tissue factor, factor VII and Ca2+ ions. A timecourse study showed that activated factor XI cleaved factor IXBm and factor IX at similar rates. However, in contrast to normal factor IX, the limited protelysis of factor IXBm did not generate procoagulant activity.In kinetic experiments purified factor IXBm behaved like a competitive inhibitor (Ki of 0.017 μM) of the activation of factor X by bovine tissue factor and factor VII. Normal factor IX was also found to inhibit the reaction but required a four-fold higher concentration to achieve the same inhibitory effects as factor IXBm.

Two Systems

SummaryTwo reactions of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation, the activations of Factor X and prothrombin, have been studied in purified systems and shown to be self-damping. Factor X was activated by the tissue factor - Factor VII complex, and prothrombin by two systems: the coagulant protein of Taipan venom, and the physiological complex of activated Factor X, Factor V, lipid, and calcium ions. In each case the yield of enzyme, activated Factor X or thrombin, is a function of the concentration of activator. These and other observations are considered as a basis for a control mechanism in coagulation.

Abstract Context: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a hypercoagulable state. Tissue factor (TF) is the principal initiator of blood coagulation. Objective: Our objective was to examine the effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on the TF pathway of blood coagulation in T2DM. Design: Three study protocols were used: 1) acute correction of hyperglycemia (with iv insulin) followed by 24 h of euglycemia, 2) 24 h of selective hyperinsulinemia, and 3) 24 h of combined hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Setting: The study took place at a clinical research center. Study Participants: Participants included 18 T2DM patients and 22 nondiabetic controls. Results: Basal TF-procoagulant activity (TF-PCA), monocyte TF mRNA, plasma coagulation factor VII (FVIIc), and thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes were higher in T2DM than in nondiabetic controls, indicating a chronic procoagulant state. Acutely normalizing hyperglycemia over 2–4 h resulted in a small (∼7%) but significant decline in TF-PCA with no further decline over 24 h. Raising insulin levels alone raised TF-PCA by 30%, whereas raising insulin and glucose levels together increased TF-PCA (by 80%), thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes, and prothrombin fragment 1.2. Plasma FVIIa and FVIIc declined with increases in TF-PCA. Conclusion: We conclude that the combination of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, common in poorly controlled patients with T2DM, contributes to a procoagulant state that may predispose these patients to acute cardiovascular events.

A study was carried out to explore requirements for the inhibition of tissue factor-factor VIIa enzymatic activity in plasma. Reaction mixtures contained plasma, 3H-factor IX or 3H-factor X, tissue factor (vol/vol 2.4% to 24%), and calcium. Tissue factor-factor VIIa activity was evaluated from progress curves of activation of factor IX or factor X, plotted from tritiated activation peptide release data. With normal plasma, progress curves exhibited initial limited activation followed by a plateau indicative of loss of tissue factor-factor VIIa activity. With hereditary factor X-deficient plasma treated with factor X antibodies, progress curves revealed full factor IX activation. Adding only 0.4 micrograms/mL factor X (final concentration) could restore inhibition. Inhibition was not observed in purified systems containing 6% to 24% tissue factor, factor VII, 0.5 micrograms/mL, factor IX, 13 micrograms/mL, and factor X up to 0.8 micrograms/mL, but could be induced by adding barium-absorbed plasma to the reaction mixture. Thus, both factor X and an additional material in plasma were required for inhibition. The amount of factor X needed appeared related to the concentration of tissue factor; adding more tissue factor at the plateau of a progress curve induced further activation. These results also indicate that inhibited reaction mixtures contained active free factor VII(a). Preliminary data suggest that inhibition may stem from loss of activity of the tissue factor component of the tissue factor- factor VII(a) complex.

Abstract We have extended earlier studies (Blood 66:204, 1985) of a mechanism of inhibition of factor VIIa/tissue factor activity that requires a plasma component (called herein extrinsic pathway inhibitor or EPI) and factor Xa. An activated peptide release assay using 3H-factor IX as a substrate was used to evaluate inhibition. Increasing the tissue factor concentration from 20% to 40% (vol/vol) overcame the inhibitory mechanism in normal plasma but not in factor VII-deficient plasma supplemented with a low concentration of factor VII. A second wave of factor IX activation obtained by a second addition of tissue factor to plasma with a normal factor VII concentration was almost abolished by supplementing the reaction mixture with additional EPI and factor X. Factor Xa's active site was necessary for factor Xa's contribution to inhibition, but preliminary incubation of factor Xa with EPI in the absence of factor VIIa/tissue factor complex or of factor VIIa/tissue factor complex in the absence of EPI did not replace the need for the simultaneous presence of factor Xa, factor VIIa/tissue factor, calcium, and EPI in an inhibitory reaction mixture. Inhibition of factor VIIa/tissue factor was reversible; both tissue factor and factor VIIa activity could be recovered from a dissociated, inhibited factor VIIa/tissue factor complex. EPI appeared to bind to a factor VIIa/tissue factor complex formed in the presence of factor Xa but not to a factor VIIa/tissue factor complex formed in the absence of factor Xa.

Tissue Thromboplastin

This study is concerned with the question whether activation of factor IX by factor VII - tissue thromboplastin contributes to the rate of plasma coagulation. The protein component of tissue factor was partially purified from human brain. Its molecular weight as deduced from SDS - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was about 48,000. Reconstitution of thromboplastin activity was obtained by mixing apoprotein and phospholipids in the presence of Triton X-100 and subsequent removal of Triton by adsorption to Biobeads SM-2. Reconstituted tissue factor greatly accelerated the activation of factor IX by isolated factor VII in the presence of calcium ions. In a contact free system (plasma from a patient with congenital factor XII deficiency; factor XII<0.001 Unit/ml) plasma coagulation times (tc) were determined as a function of apoprotein concentration (at constant phospholipid) both in the presence and absence of factor IX. At high apoprotein concentration tc showed to be independent of factor IX, whereas at low apoprotein concentration the removal of factor IX resulted in a 2 - 3 fold increase of tc. The involvement of the tissue factor - factor VII complex in this phenomenon was evaluated using a specific anti-factor VII serum. The results indicate that activation of factor IX by factor VII - tissue thromboplastin does not significantly contribute to the rate of plasma coagulation.

Extrinsic Pathway

In the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation, Factor X is activated by a complex of tissue factor, factor VII(a) and Ca2+ ions. Using purified human coagulation factors and a sensitive spectrophotometric assay for Factor Xa, we could demonstrate activation of Factor X by Factor VIIa in the absence of tissue-factor apoprotein, phospholipids and Ca2+. This finding allowed a kinetic analysis of the contribution of each of the cofactors. Ca2+ stimulated the reaction rate 10-fold at an optimum of 6 mM (Vmax. of 1.1 x 10(-3) min-1) mainly by decreasing the Km of Factor X (to 11.4 microM). In the presence of Ca2+, 25 microM-phospholipid caused a 150-fold decrease of the apparent Km and a 2-fold increase of the apparent Vmax. of the reaction; however, both kinetic parameters increased with increasing phospholipid concentration. Tissue-factor apoprotein contributed to the reaction rate mainly by an increase of the Vmax., in both the presence (40,500-fold) and absence (4900-fold) of phospholipid. The formation of a ternary complex of Factor VIIa with tissue-factor apoprotein and phospholipid was responsible for a 15 million-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency of Factor X activation. The presence of Ca2+ was absolutely required for the stimulatory effects of phospholipid and apoprotein. The data fit a general model in which the Ca2(+)-dependent conformation allows Factor VIIa to bind tissue-factor apoprotein and/or a negatively charged phospholipid surface resulting into a decreased intrinsic Km and an increased Vmax. for the activation of fluid-phase Factor X.
