SummaryAbetalipoproteinaemia is a rare disorder of apolipoprotein B metabolism associated with extremely low plasma concentrations of triglyce-ride. To discover whether the general positive association between factor VII and triglyceride levels extends to this condition, 5 patients were compared with 18 controls. All patients had a triglyceride below 100 μmol/l. Plasma unesterified fatty acid concentration was normal. Although factor IX activity was only slightly reduced (mean 88% standard) and factor IX antigen was normal, mean activated factor VII in patients was strikingly reduced to 34% of that in controls, a level similar to that found in haemophilia B. The patients’ mean factor VII activity and factor VII antigen were also significantly reduced to 54% and 63% of those in controls, respectively. Mean factor XI activity and tissue factor pathway inhibitor activity were reduced in patients to 70% and 75% of control values respectively, while factor XII, factor XI antigen, factor X, prothrombin and protein C were normal.

Increased Risk

SummaryPurer factor IX (FIX) concentrates have been produced for the treatment of hemophilia B in the attempt to reduce the risk of thrombotic complications associated with the use of prothrombin complex concentrates. To evaluate ex vivo whether or not FIX concentrates activate the coagulation system in conditions associated with a high risk for thrombosis, we measured markers of hypercoagulability in 10 patients with hemophilia B who underwent surgery, mainly orthopedic procedures, covered by multiple concentrate infusions (40-80 U/kg/day). Postinfusion plasma levels of prothrombin fragment 1+2 and factor X activation peptide did not differ significantly from the presurgical levels, neither before nor after each concentrate dose. Therefore, it appears that prolonged treatment of patients with hemophilia B undergoing high risk surgical procedures with high doses of FIX concentrate does not cause systemic activation of coagulation. This suggests that purified FIX concentrates are preferable to prothrombin complex concentrates for conditions associated with an increased risk of thrombosis.

SummaryProtein S (PS) is a vitamin K-dependent anticoagulant that acts as a cofactor to activated protein C (APC). To date PS has not been shown to possess anticoagulant activity in the absence of APC.In this study, we have developed monoclonal antibody to protein S and used to purify the protein to homogeneity from plasma. Affinity purified protein S (PSM), although identical to the conventionally purified protein as judged by SDS-PAGE, had significant anticoagulant activity in the absence of APC when measured in a factor Xa recalcification time. Using SDS-PAGE we have demonstrated that prothrombin cleavage by factor X awas inhibited in the presence of PSM. Kinetic analysis of the reaction revealed that PSM competitively inhibited factor X amediated cleavage of prothrombin. PS preincubated with the monoclonal antibody, acquired similar anticoagulant properties. These results suggest that the interaction of the monoclonal antibody with PS results in an alteration in the protein exposing sites that mediate the observed anticoagulant effect. Support that the protein was altered was derived from the observation that PSM was eight fold more sensitive to cleavage by thrombin and human neutrophil elastase than conventionally purified protein S.These observations suggest that PS can be modified in vitro to a protein with APC-independent anticoagulant activity and raise the possibility that a similar alteration could occur in vivo through the binding protein S to a cellular or plasma protein.

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.

SummaryA novel reactor recently described for studying phospholipiddependent blood coagulation reactions under flow conditions similar to those occurring in the vasculature has been further charactenzed. The reactor is a capitlary whose inner wall is coated with a stable phospholipid bilayer (or two bilayers) containing tissue factor, a transmembrane protein that is required for the enzymatic activation of factor X by factor VIIa. Perfusion of the capillary at wall shear rates ranging from 25 s−1 to 1,200 s−1 with purified bovine factors X and VIIa led to steady state factor Xa levels at the outlet. Assay were performed using a chromogenic substrate, SpectrozymeTMFXa, or by using a radiometric technique. In the absence of Ca2+ or factor VIIa there was no product formation. No difference was noted in the levels of factor Xa achieved when non-activated factor VII was perfused. Once steady state was achieved further factor Xa production continued in the absence of factor VIIa implying a very strong association of factor VIIa with the tissue factor in the phospholipid membrane. In agreement with static vesicle-type studies the reactor was sensitive to wall tissue factor concentration, temperature and the presence of phosphatidylserine in the bilayer.

SummaryElectron microscopy and particle electrophoresis were found to be complementary techniques with which to complete the physical data from an earlier study on barium sulphates used to adsorb clotting factors from serum. The differences revealed by scanning electron microscopy (S. E. M.) in the physical shape of low and high density grades of barium sulphate particles appear to be of greater significance than charge as expressed by electrophoretic mobility, in determining whether or not precursor or preformed factor Xa is eluted.This conclusion was based on the finding that at pH values close to 7, where the adsorption from serum occurs, all samples with the exception of natural barytes were uncharged. However as the high-density, or soil-grade, was found by S. E. M. to consist of large solid crystals it was suggested that this shape might induce activation of factor X as a result of partial denaturation and consequent unfolding of the adsorbed protein. In contrast, uptake of protein into the centre of the porous aggregates revealed by S. E. M. pictures of low-density or X-ray grade barium sulphate may afford protection against denaturation and exposure of the enzyme site.The porous nature of particles of low-density barium sulphate compared with the solid crystalline forms of other grades accounts not only for its lower bulk density but also for its greater surface/gram ratio which is reflected by an ability to adsorb more protein from serum.Neither technique produced evidence from any of the samples to indicate the presence of stabilising agents sometimes used to coat particles in barium meals.

SummaryFactor V activation is a critical step preceding prothrombinase formation. This study determined the contributions of factor Xa and thrombin, which activate purified factor V with similar catalytic efficiency, to plasma factor V activation during coagulation. Prothrombin activation began without a lag phase after a suspension of coagulant phospholipids, CaCl2, and factor Xa was added to factor X-depleted plasma. Hirudin, a potent thrombin inhibitor, abrogated prothrombin activation initiated with 0.5 and 1.0 nM factor Xa, but not with 5 nM factor Xa. In contrast, hirudin did not abrogate prothrombin activation in plasmas pre-incubated with 0.5,1.0 or 5 nM α-thrombin for 10 s followed by the coagulant suspension containing 0.5 nM factor Xa. Thus, thrombin activates plasma factor V more efficiently than factor Xa. At concentrations which doubled the clotting time of contact-activated normal plasma, heparin and three low Mr heparins also abrogated prothrombin activation initiated with 0.5 nM factor Xa, but not with 5 nM factor Xa. If factor V in the factor X-depleted plasma was activated (by pre-incubation with 10 nM a-thrombin for 60 s) before adding 0.5,1.0, or 5 nM factor Xa, neither hirudin nor the heparins altered the rates of prothrombin activation. Thus, none of the five anticoagulants inactivates prothrombinase. When 5 or 10 pM relipidated r-human tissue factor and CaCl2 were added to normal plasma, heparin and the three low Mr heparins delayed the onset of prothrombin activation until the concentration of factor Xa generated exceeded 1 nM, and they subsequently inhibited prothrombin activation to the same extent. Thus, hirudin, heparin and low Mr heparins suppress prothrombin activation solely by inhibiting prothrombinase formation.

Anionic Phospholipid

SummaryFibroblast monolayers constitutively expressing surface membrane tissue factor (TF) were treated with 0.1 mM N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) for 1 min to inhibit aminophospholipid translocase activity without inducing general cell damage. This resulted in increased anionic phospholipid in the outer leaflet of the cell surface membrane as measured by the binding of 125I-annexin V and by the ability of the monolayers to support the generation of prothrombinase. Specific binding of 125I-rVIIa to TF on NEM-treated monolayers was increased 3- to 4-fold over control monolayers after only brief exposure to 125I-rVIIa, but this difference progressively diminished with longer exposure times. A brief exposure of NEM-treated monolayers to rVIIa led to a maximum 3- to 4-fold enhancement of VIIa/TF catalytic activity towards factor X over control monolayers, but, in contrast to the binding studies, this 3- to 4-fold difference persisted despite increasing time of exposure to rVIIa. Adding prothrombin fragment 1 failed to diminish the enhanced VIIa/TF activation of factor X of NEM-treated monolayers. Moreover, adding annexin V, which was shown to abolish the ability of NEM to enhance factor X binding to the fibroblast monolayers, also failed to diminish the enhanced VIIa/TF activation of factor X. These data provide new evidence for a possible mechanism by which availability of anionic phospholipid in the outer layer of the cell membrane limits formation of functional VIIa/TF complexes on cell surfaces.

SummaryWe measured total and free protein S (PS), protein C (PC) and factor X (FX) in 393 healthy blood donors to assess differences in relation to sex, hormonal state and age. All measured proteins were lower in women as compared to men, as were levels in premenopausal women as compared to postmenopausal women. Multiple regression analysis showed that both age and subgroup (men, pre- and postmenopausal women) were of significance for the levels of total and free PS and PC, the subgroup effect being caused by the differences between the premenopausal women and the other groups. This indicates a role of sex-hormones, most likely estrogens, in the regulation of levels of pro- and anticoagulant factors under physiologic conditions. These differences should be taken into account in daily clinical practice and may necessitate different normal ranges for men, pre- and postmenopausal women.

SummaryThe present study was designed to investigate the action of protamine on the release of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) activity by unfractionated (UF) and low molecular weight (LMW) heparin in healthy individuals. 5000 IU UF-heparin or 5000 IU LMW-heparin were given intravenously followed by saline, 5000 U protamine chloride or 5000 U protamine sulfate intravenously after the 10 min blood sample. Then serial blood samples for the measurement of TFPI activity and anti-factor Xa- activity were taken, in order to detect a possible relation between the remaining anti-factor X a activity after neutralization of LMW-heparin with protamine and TFPI activity and to establish whether or not a rebound phenomenon of plasmatic TFPI occurs.There was no difference in the release and in the kinetics of TFPI by UF- and LMW-heparin with subsequent administration of saline. After administration of protamine TFPI activity decreased immediately and irreversibly to pretreatment values. There were no differences between protamine chloride and protamine sulfate on the effect of TFPI induced by UF- or LMW-heparin. No rebound phenomenon of TFPI activity occurred. In contrast anti-factor Xa- activity, as measured by the chromogenic S2222-assay, issued the known differences between UF- and LMW-heparin. The half-life of the aXa-effect of LMW-heparin was twice as long as of UF-heparin. Protamine antagonized UF-heparin completely and about 60% of the anti-factor Xa activity of LMW-heparin, using chromogenic S2222-method. No differences could be detected for protamine chloride and sulfate form of protamineIt is assumed that protamine displaces heparins from the binding sites of TFPI. There were no differences between UF- and LMW-heparin. The data indicate that the sustained antifactor Xa activity after antagonization of LMW-heparins as well as heparin rebound phenomena are not mediated by TFPI activity.
