Plasma Factor

SummaryActivated protein C (APC) is a vitamin K dependent anticoagulant which catalyzes the inactivation of factor Va and VIIIa, in a reaction modulated by phospholipid membrane surface, or blood platelets. APC prevents thrombin generation at a much lower concentration when added to recalcified plasma and phospholipid vesicles, than recalcified plasma and platelets. This observation was attributed to a platelet associated APC inhibitor. We have performed serial thrombin, factor V one stage and two stage assays and Western blotting of dilute recalcified plasma containing either phospholipid vesicles or platelets and APC. More thrombin was formed at a given APC concentration with platelets than phospholipid. One stage factor V values increased to higher levels with platelets and APC than phospholipid and APC. Two stage factor V values decreased substantially with platelets and 5 nM APC but remained unchanged with phospholipid and 5 nM APC. Western blotting of plasma factor V confirmed factor V activation in the presence of platelets and APC, but lack of factor V activation with phospholipid and APC. Inclusion of platelets or platelet membrane with phospholipid enhanced rather than inhibited APC catalyzed plasma factor V inactivation. Platelet activation further enhanced factor V activation and inactivation at any given APC concentration.Plasma thrombin generation in the presence of platelets and APC is related to ongoing factor V activation. No inhibition of APC inactivation of FVa occurs in the presence of platelets.

SummaryPlatelet membrane glycoproteins IIb and IIIa and platelet thrombospondin were incorporated onto phosphatidylcholine liposomes, by freeze thawing and sonication. Protein orientation on the liposomes was confirmed by susceptibility to neuraminidase cleavage and binding to lentil lectin-Sepharose (GPIIb-IIIa liposomes) and to heparin-Sepharose (thrombospondin liposomes). Glycoproteins Ilb-IIIa bound 125I-fibrinogen with Kd of 7.5 × 10™7M. Binding was reversible and calcium-dependent. Ilb-IIIa liposomes underwent fibrinogen-dependent aggregation in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2. Maximal aggregate formation was observed with a combination of IIb-IIIa liposomes and thrombospondin liposomes. This aggregation was partially inhibited by preincubation with monoclonal antibodies to the IIb-IIIa complex. Addition of EDTA caused complete reversal of aggregates. Thrombospondin liposomes also underwent fibrinogen and calcium dependent aggregation, however, this aggregation was less than that observed with the GPIIb-IIIa liposomes. Maximal aggregate formation was observed with a mixture of IIb-IIIa liposomes and thrombospondin liposomes. These studies demonstrate that GPIIb-IIIa and thrombospondin can be incorporated into phospholipid vesicles with preservation of function. Direct evidence is provided to demonstrate that glycoprotein lib and Ilia and fibrinogen are sufficient for platelet aggregation and to demonstrate that thrombospondin may also contribute to platelet aggregation.

Spontaneous Formation

The spontaneous formation of giant (diameter > 10 μm) vesicles from a number of phospholipids in excess aqueous solution has been studied by light-microscopy. Electrically neutral as well as charged phospholipids swell to form giant vesicles only if the lipids are in the fluid phase. This shows that electrostatic repulsion alone cannot explain the spontaneous formation of giant vesicles. The results confirm the suggestion that steric forces between extended membranes play a significant part in this process.
