HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Lipoprotein (a) binds and inactivates tissue factor pathway inhibitor: a novel link between lipoproteins and thrombosis

چکیده
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] has been associated with both anti-fibrinolytic and atherogenic effects. However, no direct link currently exists between this atherogenic lipoprotein and intravascular coagulation. The current study examined the binding and functional effects of Lp(a), its lipoprotein constituents, apoliprotein (a) [apo(a)] and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and lysine-plasminogen (L-PLG), which shares significant homology with apo(a), on tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), a major regulator of tissue factor-mediated coagulation. Results indicate that Lp(a), apo(a), and PLG but not LDL bound recombinant TFPI (rTFPI) in vitro and that apo(a) bound to a region spanning the last 37 amino acid residues of the cterminus of TFPI. The apparent binding affinity for TFPI was much higher for Lp(a) (KD ;150 nM) compared to PLG (KD ;800 nM) and nanomolar concentrations of apo(a) (500 nM) inhibited PLG binding to TFPI. Lp(a) also inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner rTFPI activity and endothelial cell surface TFPI activity in vitro, whereas PLG had no such effect. Moreover physiologic concentrations of PLG (2 mM) had no effect on the concentration-dependent inhibition of TFPI activity induced by Lp(a). In human atherosclerotic plaque, apo(a) and TFPI immunostaining were shown to coexist in smooth muscle cell–rich areas of the intima. These data suggest a novel mechanism whereby Lp(a) through its apo(a) moiety may promote thrombosis by binding and inactivating TFPI. (Blood. 2001; 98:2980-2987)

HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY 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 ...

متن کاملResponse of plasma tissue factor pathway inhibitor to diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in crab-eating monkeys.
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), a protease inhibitor associated with lipoproteins in plasma and endothelial cells, can inhibit the initial reactions of the tissue factor-mediated coagulation pathway. A positive relationship between TFPI and cholesterol has been demonstrated in human plasma. To investigate this relation in more detail, in the present study we measured TFPI in the plasma ...
متن کاملComparison of the inhibitory effects of ApoB100 and tissue factor pathway inhibitor on tissue factor and the influence of lipoprotein oxidation.
The procoagulant activity of tissue factor is regulated by circulating inhibitors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and LDL. These 2 inhibitors also readily associate making the distinction between their activities difficult. We have examined the relative contributions of intact and C-terminal truncated TFPI and ApoB100. By following the inhibitory potential of the preparations, ov...
