چکیده

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 procoagulant activity. Similar kinetic parameters were obtained for factor X hydrolysis by tissue factor-factor VIIa on unperturbed pericytes and phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Increase in Vmax and decrease in apparent Km for this reaction were seen after either disruption or ionophore stimulation of the pericytes. Addition of phosphatidylserine to the reconstituted phospholipid vesicles also increased the Vmax and decreased the apparent Km for factor X hydrolysis. These data agree with the hypothesis that the expression of tissue factor procoagulant activity on cell surfaces is modulated by calcium-mediated changes in the asymmetric distribution of phosphatidylserine in plasma membrane.

Flow Cytometric Measurement of CD41/CD61 and CD42b Platelet Receptors and Clotting Assay of Platelet Factor 3 During Long Term-Storage of Platelet Concentrates

Background: The purpose of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of long term storage of conventional platelet concentrates (PCs) on major platelet receptors CD42b and CD41/CD61 by flow cytometry method and also measuring the overall platelet procoagulant activity status using platelet factor 3 (PF3) assay. Materials and Methods: Six random units of conventional platelet conce...

Fibroblast tissue factor: calcium and ionophore induce shape changes, release of membrane vesicles, and redistribution of tissue factor antigen in addition to increased procoagulant activity.

The coagulant activity of tissue factor (TF) in the membranes of cultured cells is increased after physical disruption of the cells, and a similar increase can be elicited by treatment of cell cultures with calcium ionophore and calcium. We observed that the supernatants of cultures treated with calcium and ionophore 4-Br-A23187 contained more TF activity than those of control cultures. Phase c...

ATVB In Focus Regulation of Coagulation

Tissue factor (TF) encryption is the post-translational suppression of TF procoagulant activity (PCA) on the cell surface. There is emerging evidence of encrypted TF in normal blood associated with monocytes and platelets. Expression of this latent TF PCA during the propagation phase of blood coagulation may contribute to hemostasis. One pathway leading to the decryption of TF PCA begins with a...

ExoU-induced procoagulant activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected airway cells.

The present study addressed the question whether ExoU, a Pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin with phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity, may induce airway epithelial cells to overexpress tissue factor (TF) and exhibit a procoagulant phenotype. Cells from the human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B line were infected with an ExoU-producing P. aeruginosa strain, pre-treated or not with the cytosolic PLA2 inhibito...

Induction of tissue factor activity in endothelial cells and monocytes by a modified form of albumin present in normal human plasma.

Molecules that induce tissue factor expression by responsive cells such as endothelial cells and monocytes may be important in the regulation of hemostasis and, perhaps, in mediating certain hemostatic disorders. A constituent of normal human plasma capable of inducing tissue factor activity in human endothelial cells and monocytes has been isolated and identified as a derivative of, or modific...
