Thrombogenicity of beta 2-glycoprotein I-dependent antiphospholipid antibodies in a photochemically induced thrombosis model in the hamster.

چکیده
We previously showed that beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI)-dependent lupus anticoagulants (LAs) form bivalent antigen-antibody complexes with high affinity for phospholipids; these complexes are responsible for their in vitro anticoagulant effect. We now studied the role of these bivalent complexes in arterial thrombosis in the hamster. Three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against human beta(2)GPI were selected on the basis of their cross-reactivity with hamster beta(2)GPI. Two of these, one with LA activity, 5H2, and one with only anticardiolipin properties, 11E8, were infused at 0 to 10 mg/kg prior to photochemically induced vessel damage. 5H2 promoted thrombus formation dose dependently, raising the thrombus size from 6.0 arbitrary units (AU) in controls (n = 9) to 65.0 AU in the high-dose group (10 mg/kg, n = 6, P =.007). The LA(-) mAb 11E8 and mAb 27A8, reactive with human beta(2)GPI exclusively, did not significantly promote thrombus formation. In a second set of experiments, intact mAb 5H2 was compared to its fragments. Intact mAb 5H2 at 3.3 mg/kg and the equimolar dose of F(ab')(2) fragments (2.2 mg/kg) promoted thrombus formation equally well (55.8 AU, n = 8 and 62.5 AU, n = 7, respectively); mAb 5H2-derived Fab' fragments were inactive. Immunohistochemical analysis showed platelet-rich thrombi, with 5H2 or its F(ab')(2) fragments mainly bound to individual platelets. Our results indicate that bivalent immune complex formation plays an important role in the genesis of arterial thrombosis by certain antiphospholipid antibodies. Cellular activation via the Fc portion of these immune complexes, however, is not essential, because F(ab')(2) fragments of 5H2 still promote thrombus formation.

متن کاملRevisiting Beta 2 Glycoprotein I, the Major Autoantigen in the Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Beta 2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) is a single chain 50 kDa highly glycosylated glycoprotein at an approximate concentration of 4 μM in cells. The abundance of this protein in plasma and its high state of preservation indicate the important role of this protein in mammalian. In addition, β2GPI has a particular structure in the fifth domain, and is categorized as the major antigen recognized by autoa...
متن کاملbeta2-glycoprotein I-dependent lupus anticoagulant highly correlates with thrombosis in the antiphospholipid syndrome.
The antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in plasma of patients with thromboembolic complications. A major problem in defining the syndrome is that serologic assays to detect antiphospholipid antibodies have a low specificity. We recently published a method that specifically detects lupus anticoagulant (LAC) caused by anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein...
متن کاملbeta2-Glycoprotein I inhibits von Willebrand factor dependent platelet adhesion and aggregation.
Patients with antiphospholipid syndrome are characterized by the association of thrombosis or pregnancy morbidity and the presence of antiphospholipid autoantibodies. Particularly, anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein (beta(2) GPI) autoantibodies correlate with thrombosis, suggesting an antibody-induced gain of prothrombotic function and/or an antibody-induced loss of antithrombotic function of beta(2) GP...

Activated protein C (APC) anticoagulant activity and the ability to be inhibited by auto-antibodies associated with thrombosis are strongly augmented by the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phospholipid oxidation. beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)-GPI) is a major antigen for antiphospholipid antibodies present in patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome. We therefore investigated ...
