SummaryTissue factor : factor VIIa induced activation of blood coagulation is inhibited by the complex between factor Xa and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (factor Xa : TFPI). We recently reported that phospholipid-bound factor Xa reduces the high binding affinity of factor Xa : TFPI for negatively charged phospholipids by a partial degradation of TFPI (17). The present study was undertaken to elucidate the factor Xa cleavage sites in TFPI and to delineate the consequences of this proteolysis with respect to the inhibitory activity of factor Xa : TFPI. We found that phospholipid-bound factor Xa cleaves in TFPI the peptide bonds between Lys86-Thr87 and Arg199-Ala200. Interestingly, Arg199 is the P1 residue of the third Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domain. The fast cleavage of the Arg199-Ala200 bond results in a 50-70% reduction of the anticoagulant activity of factor Xa : TFPI, as determined with a dilute tissue factor assay, but is not associated with a diminished inhibitory activity of factor Xa : TFPI towards TF : factor VIIa catalyzed activation of factor X. On the other hand, the slower cleavage of the Lys86-Thr87 peptide bond was associated with both a diminished anticoagulant and anti-TF : factor VIIa activity. Dissociation of factor Xa from the cleaved TFPI was not observed. These data provide evidence for a dual role of factor Xa since it is the essential cofactor in the TFPI-controlled regulation of TF-dependent coagulation as well as a catalyst of the inactivation of TFPI.

Tissue Factor Pathway

TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor) is an anticoagulant protein that prevents intravascular coagulation through inhibition of fXa (Factor Xa) and the TF (tissue factor)–fVIIa (Factor VIIa) complex. Localization of TFPI within caveolae enhances its anticoagulant activity. To define further how caveolae contribute to TFPI anticoagulant activity, CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary) cells were co-transfected with TF and membrane-associated TFPI targeted to either caveolae [TFPI–GPI (TFPI–glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor chimaera)] or to bulk plasma membrane [TFPI–TM (TFPI–transmembrane anchor chimaera)]. Stable clones had equal expression of surface TF and TFPI. TX-114 cellular lysis confirmed localization of TFPI–GPI to detergent-insoluble membrane fractions, whereas TFPI–TM localized to the aqueous phase. TFPI–GPI and TFPI–TM were equally effective direct inhibitors of fXa in amidolytic assays. However, TFPI–GPI was a significantly better inhibitor of TF–fVIIa than TFPI–TM, as measured in both amidolytic and plasma-clotting assays. Disrupting caveolae by removing membrane cholesterol from EA.hy926 cells, which make TFPIα, CHO cells transfected with TFPIβ and HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) did not affect their fXa inhibition, but significantly decreased their inhibition of TF–fVIIa. These studies confirm and quantify the enhanced anticoagulant activity of TFPI localized within caveolae, demonstrate that caveolae enhance the inhibitory activity of both TFPI isoforms and define the effect of caveolae as specifically enhancing the anti-TF activity of TFPI.

SummaryClinical trials suggest that the risk of thrombosis during coronary angioplasty is lower with ionic contrast agents than with nonionic contrast agents. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect are unknown. This study examined the effects of contrast agents on thrombin formation and its interaction with substrates, inhibitors, and ligands to define potential mechanisms by which contrast agents affect thrombus formation. Two ionic agents, diatrizoate and ioxaglate, and one nonionic agent, ioversol, were studied. Ionic agents inhibited factor X activation by the tissue factor-factor VIIa complex more potently than ioversol (53 ± 3.7, 43.0 ± 1.9, and 26.5 ± 2.4% inhibition by diatrizoate, ioxaglate, and ioversol, respectively, at concentrations of 5%). Ionic contrast agents were potent inhibitors of prothrombinase function, inhibiting thrombin formation by >75% at contrast concentrations of 0.6% (p <0.005). Ioversol inhibited prothrombinase to a significantly lesser extent than ionic agents. Clotting assays suggested that ioxaglate was the most potent inhibitor of thrombin generation in plasma despite having the least effect on fibrin polymerization. Contrast agents inhibited binding of thrombin to fibrin, with ionic agents producing a more potent effect than ioversol (p <0.02). However, contrast agents did not inhibit thrombin-mediated platelet activation, had only a minor effect on inhibition of thrombin by antithrombin III, and did not affect thrombin-hirudin interactions. In summary, these studies identify specific mechanisms by which radiographic contrast agents inhibit thrombin formation and function – i.e. inhibition of tissue factor-dependent factor Xa generation, inhibition of the prothrombinase complex, and inhibition of thrombin binding to fibrin. These findings may help to explain the reduced risk of thrombosis during coronary angioplasty associated with ionic contrast agents.

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.
