Correlates of plasma and platelet tissue factor pathway inhibitor, factor V, and Protein S.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plasma Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) circulates bound to factor V (fV) and Protein S (PS). Estrogen therapy decreases plasma TFPI and PS. TFPI, fV, and PS circulate within platelets, and are released upon activation to modulate thrombus formation.

Objective

Identify factors affecting the concentrations of plasma and platelet TFPI, fV, and PS.

Methods

Blood samples were obtained from 435 healthy individuals. Plasma total TFPI, TFPIɑ, fV, and PS, and platelet TFPI, fV, and PS were quantified. Correlations between these protein concentrations and age, gender, race, and estrogen use were established.

Results

In males, only plasma fV increased with age, while in females, all plasma analytes increased with age. Males had higher plasma total TFPI, TFPIα, and PS than females. The platelet proteins in either sex remained relatively stable with increasing age. Platelet TFPI and PS were comparable in both sexes, while platelet fV was higher in females. Estrogen use was associated with decreased plasma total TFPI and TFPIα, and platelet PS, but not with platelet TFPI concentration. Racial differences in plasma and platelet proteins were observed, some of which were larger than inter-individual differences observed within racial groups. TFPI, fV and PS concentrations correlated in plasma, while only fV and PS correlated in platelets.

Conclusions

Plasma and platelet TFPI, fV and PS differ in their: (i) in vivo association; (ii) demographic correlates; and (iii) alteration by estrogen therapies. Therefore, the plasma and platelet pools of these proteins may modulate hemostasis and thrombosis via different biochemical pathways.

Protein S is a cofactor for platelet and endothelial tissue factor pathway inhibitor-? but not for cell surface-associated tissue factor pathway inhibitor.

Project description:Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is produced in 2 isoforms: TFPI?, a soluble protein in plasma, platelets, and endothelial cells, and TFPI?, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein on endothelium. Protein S (PS) functions as a cofactor for TFPI?, enhancing the inhibition of factor Xa. However, PS does not alter the inhibition of prothrombinase by TFPI?, and PS interactions with TFPI? are undescribed. Thus, the physiological role and scope of the PS-TFPI system remain unclear.Here, the cofactor activity of PS toward platelet and endothelial TFPI? and endothelial TFPI? was quantified. PS enhanced the inhibition of factor Xa by TFPI? from platelets and endothelial cells and stabilized the TFPI?/factor Xa inhibitory complex, delaying thrombin generation by prothrombinase. By contrast, PS did not enhance the inhibitory activity of TFPI? or a membrane-anchored form of TFPI containing the PS-binding third Kunitz domain (K1K2K3) although PS did function as a cofactor for K1K2K3 enzymatically released from the cell surface.The PS-TFPI anticoagulant system is limited to plasma TFPI? and TFPI? released from platelets and endothelial cells. PS likely functions to localize solution-phase TFPI? to the cell surface, where factor Xa is bound. PS does not alter the activity of membrane-associated TFPI. Because activated platelets release TFPI? and PS, the PS-TFPI? anticoagulant system may act physiologically to dampen thrombin generation at the platelet surface.

Platelet tissue factor pathway inhibitor-α dampens cardiac thrombosis and associated fibrosis in mice.

Project description:BackgroundTissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the primary inhibitor of events initiating the blood coagulation pathway. Tfpi-/- mice die during embryonic development. The absence of protease-activated receptor (PAR) 4, the major thrombin receptor on mouse platelets, rescues Tfpi-/-mice to adulthood. Among the 3 TFPI isoforms in mice, TFPIα is the only isoform within platelets (pltTFPIα) and the only isoform that inhibits prothrombinase, the enzymatic complex that converts prothrombin to thrombin.ObjectivesTo determine biological functions of pltTFPIα.MethodsTfpi-/-/Par4-/- mice were irradiated and transplanted with bone marrow from mice lacking or containing pltTFPIα. Thus, PAR4 expression was restored in the recipient mice, which differed selectively by the presence or absence of pltTFPIα and lacked other forms of TFPI.ResultsRecipient mice lacking pltTFPIα had reduced survival over the 200-day posttransplant period. Necropsy revealed radiation injury associated with large intraventricular platelet-rich thrombi, whereas other organs were not affected. Thrombi were associated with fibrotic presentations, including increased collagen deposition, periostin-positive activated fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and macrophage infiltrates. Recipient mice containing pltTFPIα showed evidence of radiation injury but lacked heart pathology.ConclusionsTfpi-/-/Par4-/- mice develop severe cardiac fibrosis following irradiation and transplantation with bone marrow lacking pltTFPIα. This pathology is markedly reduced when the mice are transplanted with bone marrow containing pltTFPIα. Thus, in this model system pltTFPIα has an important physiological role in dampening pathological responses mediated by activated platelets within the heart tissue.

Low plasma levels of tissue factor pathway inhibitor in patients with congenital factor V deficiency.

Project description:Severe factor V (FV) deficiency is associated with mild to severe bleeding diathesis, but many patients with FV levels lower than 1% bleed less than anticipated. We used calibrated automated thrombography to screen patients with severe FV deficiency for protective procoagulant defects. Thrombin generation in FV-deficient plasma was only measurable at high tissue factor concentrations. Upon reconstitution of FV-deficient plasma with purified FV, thrombin generation increased steeply with FV concentration, reaching a plateau at approximately 10% FV. FV-deficient plasma reconstituted with 100% FV generated severalfold more thrombin than normal plasma, especially at low tissue factor concentrations (1.36 pM) or in the presence of activated protein C, suggesting reduced tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) levels in FV-deficient plasma. Plasma TFPI antigen and activity levels were indeed lower (P < .001) in FV-deficient patients (n = 11; 4.0 +/- 1.0 ng/mL free TFPI) than in controls (n = 20; 11.5 +/- 4.8 ng/mL), while persons with partial FV deficiency had inter-mediate levels (n = 16; 7.9 +/- 2.5 ng/mL). FV immunodepletion experiments in normal plasma and surface plasmon resonance analysis provided evidence for the existence of a FV/TFPI complex, possibly affecting TFPI stability/clearance in vivo. Low TFPI levels decreased the FV requirement for minimal thrombin generation in FV-deficient plasma to less than 1% and might therefore protect FV-deficient patients from severe bleeding.

Platelet-Derived Short-Chain Polyphosphates Enhance the Inactivation of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor by Activated Coagulation Factor XI.

Project description:IntroductionFactor (F) XI supports both normal human hemostasis and pathological thrombosis. Activated FXI (FXIa) promotes thrombin generation by enzymatic activation of FXI, FIX, FX, and FV, and inactivation of alpha tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI?), in vitro. Some of these reactions are now known to be enhanced by short-chain polyphosphates (SCP) derived from activated platelets. These SCPs act as a cofactor for the activation of FXI and FV by thrombin and FXIa, respectively. Since SCPs have been shown to inhibit the anticoagulant function of TFPI?, we herein investigated whether SCPs could serve as cofactors for the proteolytic inactivation of TFPI? by FXIa, further promoting the efficiency of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation to generate thrombin.Methods and resultsPurified soluble SCP was prepared by size-fractionation of sodium polyphosphate. TFPI? proteolysis was analyzed by western blot. TFPI? activity was measured as inhibition of FX activation and activity in coagulation and chromogenic assays. SCPs significantly accelerated the rate of inactivation of TFPI? by FXIa in both purified systems and in recalcified plasma. Moreover, platelet-derived SCP accelerated the rate of inactivation of platelet-derived TFPI? by FXIa. TFPI? activity was not affected by SCP in recalcified FXI-depleted plasma.ConclusionsOur data suggest that SCP is a cofactor for TFPI? inactivation by FXIa, thus, expanding the range of hemostatic FXIa substrates that may be affected by the cofactor functions of platelet-derived SCP.

Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor: Multiple Anticoagulant Activities for a Single Protein.

Project description:Tissue factor (TF) pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an anticoagulant protein that inhibits early phases of the procoagulant response. Alternatively spliced isoforms of TFPI are differentially expressed by endothelial cells and human platelets and plasma. The TFPI? isoform localizes to the endothelium surface where it is a potent inhibitor of TF-factor VIIa complexes that initiate blood coagulation. The TFPI? isoform is present in platelets. TFPI? contains a stretch of 9 amino acids nearly identical to those found in the B-domain of factor V that are well conserved in mammals. These amino acids provide exosite binding to activated factor V, which allows for TFPI? to inhibit prothrombinase during the initiation phase of blood coagulation. Endogenous inhibition at this point in the coagulation cascade was only recently recognized and has provided a biochemical rationale to explain the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying several clinical disorders. These include the east Texas bleeding disorder that is caused by production of an altered form of factor V with high affinity for TFPI and a paradoxical procoagulant effect of heparins. In addition, these findings have led to ideas for pharmacological targeting of TFPI that may reduce bleeding in hemophilia patients.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor: structure-function.

Project description:TFPI is a multivalent, Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor, which, due to alternative mRNA splicing, is transcribed in three isoforms: TFPIalpha, TFPIdelta, and glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-anchored TFPIbeta. The microvascular endothelium is thought to be the principal source of TFPI and TFPIalpha is the predominant isoform expressed in humans. TFPIalpha, apparently attached to the surface of the endothelium in an indirect GPI-anchor-dependent fashion, represents the greatest in vivo reservoir of TFPI. The Kunitz-2 domain of TFPI is responsible for factor Xa inhibition and the Kunitz-1 domain is responsible for factor Xa-dependent inhibition of the factor VIIa/tissue factor catalytic complex. The anticoagulant activity of TFPI in one-stage coagulation assays is due mainly to its inhibition of factor Xa through a process that is enhanced by protein S and dependent upon the Kunitz-3 and carboxyterminal domains of full-length TFPIalpha. Carboxyterminal truncated forms of TFPI as well as TFPIalpha in plasma, however, inhibit factor VIIa/tissue factor in two-stage assay systems. Studies in gene-disrupted mice demonstrate the physiological importance of TFPI.

Vascular-directed tissue factor pathway inhibitor overexpression regulates plasma cholesterol and reduces atherosclerotic plaque development.

Project description:Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a potent regulator of the tissue factor pathway and is found in plasma in association with lipoproteins.To determine the role of TFPI in the development of atherosclerosis, we bred mice which overexpress TFPI into the apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) background.On a high-fat diet, smooth muscle 22alpha (SM22alpha)-TFPI/apoE(-/-) mice were shown to have less aortic plaque burden compared to apoE(-/-) mice. Unexpectedly, SM22alpha-TFPI/apoE(-/-) had lower plasma cholesterol levels compared to apoE(-/-) mice. Furthermore, SM22alpha-TFPI mice fed a high-fat diet had lower cholesterol levels than did wild-type mice. Because TFPI is associated with lipoproteins and its carboxyl terminus (TFPIct) has been shown to be a ligand for the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor, we hypothesized that TFPI overexpression may regulate lipoprotein distribution. We quantified VLDL binding and uptake in vitro in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells from SM22alpha-TFPI and wild-type mice. Mouse aortic smooth muscle cells from SM22alpha-TFPI mice demonstrated higher VLDL binding and internalization compared to those from wild-type mice. Because SM22alpha-TFPI mice have increased circulating levels of TFPI antigen, we examined whether TFPIct may act to alter lipoprotein distribution. In vitro, TFPIct increased VLDL binding, uptake, and degradation in murine embryonic fibroblasts. Furthermore, this effect was blocked by heparinase treatment. In vivo, systemic administration of TFPIct reduced plasma cholesterol levels in apoE(-/-) mice.These studies suggest that overexpression of TFPI lowers plasma cholesterol through the interaction of its carboxyl terminus with lipoproteins and heparan sulfate proteoglycans.

Alternatively spliced isoforms of tissue factor pathway inhibitor.

Project description:Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the major regulator of tissue factor (TF)-induced coagulation. It down regulates coagulation by binding to the TF/fVIIa complex in a fXa dependent manner. It is predominantly produced by microvascular endothelial cells, though it is also found in platelets, monocytes, smooth muscle cells, and plasma. Its physiological importance is demonstrated by the embryonic lethality observed in TFPI knockout mice and by the increase in thrombotic burden that occurs when heterozygous TFPI mice are bred with mice carrying genetic risk factors for thrombotic disease, such as factor V Leiden. Multiple TFPI isoforms, termed TFPIalpha, TFPIbeta, and TFPIdelta in humans and TFPIalpha, TFPIbeta, and TFPIgamma in mice, have been described, which differ in their domain structure and method for cell surface attachment. A significant functional difference between these isoforms has yet to be described in vivo. Both human and mouse tissues produce, on average, approximately 10 times more TFPIalpha message when compared to that of TFPIbeta. Consistent with this finding, several lines of evidence suggest that TFPIalpha is the predominant protein isoform in humans. In contrast, recent work from our laboratory demonstrates that TFPIbeta is the major protein isoform produced in adult mice, suggesting that TFPI isoform production is translationally regulated.

Oxidized plasma albumin promotes platelet-endothelial crosstalk and endothelial tissue factor expression.

Project description:Plasma advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), a class of pro-inflammatory pathogenic mediators, accumulate in subjects with chronic kidney disease. Whether AOPPs contribute to coagulation abnormalities, which are frequently seen in uremic patients, is unknown. Here we report that AOPPs activate platelets via a CD36-mediated signaling pathway. Activation of signaling pathways by AOPP-platelet interaction resulted in the expression of several platelet activation markers and rapidly induced the expression of CD40 ligand, triggering platelet adhesion to endothelial cells and promoting endothelial tissue factor expression. AOPPs and serum tissue factor levels were considerably increased in end stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis and a significant correlation of AOPPs and serum tissue factor was found. Interestingly, serum levels of AOPPs and tissue factor were substantially lower in stable kidney transplant patients when compared with hemodialysis patients. Given that CD36 is known to transduce the effects of oxidized lipids into platelet hyperactivity, our findings reveal previously unknown pro-thrombotic activities of oxidized plasma albumin via a CD36 dependent pathway.

Suppressive Role of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor-? in Platelet-Dependent Fibrin Formation under Flow Is Restricted to Low Procoagulant Strength.

Project description:Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-alpha (TFPI-?) is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor, which suppresses coagulation by inhibiting the tissue factor (TF)/factor VIIa complex as well as factor Xa. In static plasma-phospholipid systems, TFPI-? thus suppresses both factor Xa and thrombin generation. In this article, we used a microfluidics approach to investigate how TFPI-? regulates fibrin clot formation in platelet thrombi at low wall shear rate. We therefore hypothesized that the anticoagulant effect of TFPI-? in plasma is a function of the local procoagulant strength-defined as the magnitude of thrombin generation under flow, due to local activities of TF/factor VIIa and factor Xa. To test this hypothesis, we modulated local coagulation by microspot coating of flow channels with 0 to 100 pM TF/collagen, or by using blood from patients with haemophilia A or B. For blood or plasma from healthy subjects, blocking of TFPI-? enhanced fibrin formation, extending from a platelet thrombus, under flow only at <2 pM coated TF. This enhancement was paralleled by an increased thrombin generation. For mouse plasma, genetic deficiency in TFPI enhanced fibrin formation under flow also at 0 pM TF microspots. On the other hand, using blood from haemophilia A or B patients, TFPI-? antagonism markedly enhanced fibrin formation at microspots with up to 100 pM coated TF. We conclude that, under flow, TFPI-? is capable to antagonize fibrin formation in a manner dependent on and restricted by local TF/factor VIIa and factor Xa activities.
