SummaryAn experimental model incorporating cultured endothelial cells (EC) was used to study the "factor VIII bypassing" activity of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC), a property exploited in the treatment of hemophiliacs with alloantibodies to factor VIII. Two PCC preparations were ineffective as stimuli of tissue factor expression by EC. However, incubation with a combination of PCC plus endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induced much greater tissue factor expression than was seen in response to either substance alone. PCC expressed an additional direct procoagulant activity at the EC surface, which could not be attributed to either thrombin or factor Xa, and which was diminished by an anti-tissue factor antibody. Therefore factor VIIa, which was detectable in both PCC preparations, likely provided this additional direct procoagulant activity at the EC surface. We also excluded the possibility that coagulation proteases contained in or generated in the presence of PCC are protected from inactivation by AT III. Therefore, PCC can indirectly bypass factor VIII by enhancing induced endothelial tissue factor expression, and also possess direct procoagulant activity, probably mediated by factor VIIa.

SummaryThe effect of desmopressin (DDAVP) on thrombogenicity, expression of tissue factor and procoagulant activity (PCA) of extracellular matrix (ECM) generated by human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultures (HUVEC), was studied under different experimental conditions. HUVEC were incubated with DDAVP (1, 5 and 30 ng/ml) and then detached from their ECM. The reactivity towards platelets of this ECM was tested in a perfusion system. Coverslips covered with DD A VP-treated ECMs were inserted in a parallel-plate chamber and exposed to normal blood anticoagulated with low molecular weight heparin (Fragmin®, 20 U/ml). Perfusions were run for 5 min at a shear rate of 800 s1. Deposition of platelets on ECMs was significantly increased with respect to control ECMs when DDAVP was used at 5 and 30 ng/ml (p <0.05 and p <0.01 respectively). The increase in platelet deposition was prevented by incubation of ECMs with an antibody against human tissue factor prior to perfusion. Immunofluorescence studies positively detected tissue factor antigen on DDAVP derived ECMs. A chromogenic assay performed under standardized conditions revealed a statistically significant increase in the procoagulant activity of the ECMs produced by ECs incubated with 30 ng/ml DDAVP (p <0.01 vs. control samples). Northern blot analysis revealed increased levels of tissue factor mRNA in extracts from ECs exposed to DDAVP. Our data indicate that DDAVP in vitro enhances platelet adhesion to the ECMs through increased expression of tissue factor. A similar increase in the expression of tissue factor might contribute to the in vivo hemostatic effect of DDAVP.

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.

Abstract Exposure of human peripheral blood to 100 ng/mL of bacterial endotoxin for 2 hours resulted in a 20-fold increase in monocyte procoagulant activity. The activity was functionally identified as tissue factor, because it was not expressed in plasma deficient in factor VII and was specifically inhibited by a monoclonal antibody directed against human tissue factor. When the stable prostacyclin analog, iloprost, was added to blood 30 minutes before endotoxin, a dose-dependent inhibition of monocyte procoagulant activity occurred, with an I50 of 20 nmol/L. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) produced similar effects, with an I50 of 150 nmol/L. Exposure of THP-1 monocytic cells to 100 ng/mL endotoxin resulted in a threefold increase in procoagulant activity after 2 hours and a 20-fold increase after 6 hours. A 30-minute pretreatment with iloprost or PGE1 again inhibited development of procoagulant activity, with I50 values of 5 nmol/L and 150 nmol/L, respectively. Treatment of THP-1 cells with iloprost 2 hours after exposure to endotoxin significantly inhibited further increases in procoagulant activity. Iloprost was less potent under these conditions, 30% inhibition being obtained at 100 nmol/L and 70% at 1 mumol/L. These results suggest that prostacyclin may be a physiologic modulator of monocyte tissue factor expression; in addition, its stable analog, iloprost, may have clinical potential for the treatment of thrombotic disorders in which elevated monocyte procoagulant activity plays a role.

Abstract Intralipid, a fat emulsion widely used in parenteral nutrition, can produce marked functional changes of the mononuclear phagocyte system. We investigated the effect of Intralipid administration on the generation of procoagulant activity by rabbit mononuclear phagocytes. Two groups of ten rabbits given either a single infusion of Intralipid 10% or a similar volume of sterile saline were studied before and after infusion. Procoagulant activity was measured on isolated blood mononuclear cells after incubation with and without endotoxin, using a one-stage clotting assay. Cells from animals infused with Intralipid produced significantly more procoagulant activity than controls (P less than .01). Results were similar when freshly collected whole blood was incubated with and without endotoxin, and procoagulant activity was measured on subsequently isolated mononuclear cells (P less than .01). In addition, when rabbits were given a single injection of endotoxin, blood and spleen mononuclear cells harvested 50 to 60 minutes after the injection from animals pretreated with Intralipid expressed five to seven times more procoagulant activity than did cells from animals pretreated with saline. In all instances, procoagulant activity was identified as tissue factor. These findings suggest that Intralipid may cause functional changes in mononuclear phagocytes, resulting in increased production of tissue factor on incubation in short-term culture in vitro and in response to endotoxin in vivo.
