چکیده

OBJECTIVE Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the primary regulator of the tissue factor (TF) coagulation pathway. As such, TFPI may regulate the proangiogenic effects of TF. TFPI may also affect angiogenesis independently of TF, through sequences within its polybasic carboxyl terminus (TFPI C terminus [TFPIct]). We aimed to determine the effects of TFPI on angiogenesis and the role of TFPIct. METHODS AND RESULTS Transgenic overexpression of TFPI attenuated angiogenesis in the murine hindlimb ischemia model and an aortic sprout assay. In vitro, TFPI inhibited endothelial cell migration. Peptides within the human TFPIct inhibited endothelial cell cord formation and migration in response to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 165 but not VEGF121. Furthermore, exposure to human TFPIct inhibited the phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 at residue Lys951, a residue known to be critical for endothelial cell migration. Finally, systemic delivery of a murine TFPIct peptide inhibited angiogenesis in the hindlimb model. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate an inhibitory role for TFPI in angiogenesis that is, in part, mediated through peptides within its carboxyl terminus. In addition to its known role as a TF antagonist, TFPI, via its carboxyl terminus, may regulate angiogenesis by directly blocking VEGF receptor 2 activation and attenuating the migratory capacity of endothelial cells.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor as a multifunctional mediator of vascular structure.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a potent regulator of tissue factor - factor VII-dependent activation of the tissue factor pathway. TFPI is a serine protease inhibitor that contains three Kunitz domains and a basic carboxyl terminus. TFPI is primarily expressed on endothelial cells, and murine models have demonstrated that its expression regulates vascular thrombosis. The localization...

Identification and characterization of a very low density lipoprotein receptor-binding peptide from tissue factor pathway inhibitor that has antitumor and antiangiogenic activity.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the major physiologic inhibitor of the extrinsic coagulation pathway. We have previously shown that TFPI is also a potent inhibitor of endothelial proliferation in vitro and of primary and metastatic tumor growth in vivo. Surprisingly, the antitumor activity of TFPI was demonstrated to be independent of its anticoagulant activity, suggesting a possible ...

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) plays a key role in the regulation of tissue factor-initiated blood coagulation secondary to loss of the integrity of the blood vessel wall. TFPI is a naturally occurring Kunitz-type protease inhibitor that inhibits coagulation factor Xa and, in a factor Xa-dependent manner, mediates feedback inhibition of the factor VIIa/tissue factor catalytic complex. I...
