Expression of tissue factor procoagulant activity: regulation by cytosolic calcium.
Intact bovine fibroblasts, pericytes, and kidney cells manifested significantly less tissue factor procoagulant activity than their disrupted counterparts. Addition of calcium ionophore A23187 rapidly and reversibly enhanced the cell-surface expression of tissue factor in intact cells up to the level achieved by disruption. Inhibitors of calmodulin blocked the ionophore-dependent enhancement of...
متن کاملSelective factor VIII activation by the tissue factor-factor VIIa-factor Xa complex.
Safe and effective antithrombotic therapy requires understanding of mechanisms that contribute to pathological thrombosis but have a lesser impact on hemostasis. We found that the extrinsic tissue factor (TF) coagulation initiation complex can selectively activate the antihemophilic cofactor, FVIII, triggering the hemostatic intrinsic coagulation pathway independently of thrombin feedback loops...
متن کاملRegulation of factor VIIa/tissue factor functional activity in an umbilical vein model.
Activation of factor IX in an umbilical vein model was established to result solely from factor VIIa/tissue factor (TF) activity generated within the umbilical vein wall, and the model was then used to study regulation of such extravascular factor VIIa-TF complexes. Vein segments were filled with a reaction mixture containing factor VIIa, Ca2+, a substrate, either [3H]factor IX or [3H]factor X,...
متن کاملCaveolae optimize tissue factor-Factor VIIa inhibitory activity of cell-surface-associated tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
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-transf...
متن کاملInhibitors of Factor VIIa/tissue factor.
The formation of the proteolytic complex composed of the serine protease Factor VIIa and the cell-associated glycoprotein tissue factor (FVIIa/TF) initiates a cascade of amplified zymogen activation reactions leading to thrombus formation. The critical role of the coagulation cascade in pathological thrombosis has been the basis for significant efforts to design selective inhibitors of the prot...
