چکیده

The factor VIII C2 domain is essential for binding to activated platelet surfaces as well as the cofactor activity of factor VIII in blood coagulation. Inhibitory antibodies against the C2 domain commonly develop following factor VIII replacement therapy for hemophilia A patients, or they may spontaneously arise in cases of acquired hemophilia. Porcine factor VIII is an effective therapeutic for hemophilia patients with inhibitor due to its low cross-reactivity; however, the molecular basis for this behavior is poorly understood. In this study, the X-ray crystal structure of the porcine factor VIII C2 domain was determined, and superposition of the human and porcine C2 domains demonstrates that most surface-exposed differences cluster on the face harboring the "non-classical" antibody epitopes. Furthermore, antibody-binding results illustrate that the "classical" 3E6 antibody can bind both the human and porcine C2 domains, although the inhibitory titer to human factor VIII is 41 Bethesda Units (BU)/mg IgG versus 0.8 BU/mg IgG to porcine factor VIII, while the non-classical G99 antibody does not bind to the porcine C2 domain nor inhibit porcine factor VIII activity. Further structural analysis of differences between the electrostatic surface potentials suggest that the C2 domain binds to the negatively charged phospholipid surfaces of activated platelets primarily through the 3E6 epitope region. In contrast, the G99 face, which contains residue 2227, should be distal to the membrane surface. Phospholipid binding assays indicate that both porcine and human factor VIII C2 domains bind with comparable affinities, and the human K2227A and K2227E mutants bind to phospholipid surfaces with similar affinities as well. Lastly, the G99 IgG bound to PS-immobilized factor VIII C2 domain with an apparent dissociation constant of 15.5 nM, whereas 3E6 antibody binding to PS-bound C2 domain was not observed.

HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Antigenicity of putative phospholipid membrane-binding residues in factor VIII

Most inhibitory antibodies to human factor VIII (fVIII) bind to epitopes in the A2, ap-A3, or C2 domains. The anticoagulant action of antibodies to the C2 domain is due to inhibition of binding of fVIII to phospholipid. The x-ray structure of the human fVIII C2 domain shows a putative hydrophobic, 3-prong, phospholipid membrane-binding site consisting of Met2199/ Phe2200, Val2223, and Leu2251/L...

Residues Glu2181-Val2243 contain a major determinant of the inhibitory epitope in the C2 domain of human factor VIII.

The human blood coagulation factor VIII C2 domain (Ser2173-Tyr2332) contains an epitope recognized by most polyclonal inhibitory anti-factor VIII alloantibodies and autoantibodies. We took advantage of the differential reactivity of inhibitory antibodies with human and porcine factor VIII and mapped a major determinant of the C2 epitope by using a series of active recombinant hybrid human/porci...

Structure of the Human Factor VIII C2 Domain in Complex with the 3E6 Inhibitory Antibody

Blood coagulation factor VIII is a glycoprotein cofactor that is essential for the intrinsic pathway of the blood coagulation cascade. Inhibitory antibodies arise either spontaneously or in response to therapeutic infusion of functional factor VIII into hemophilia A patients, many of which are specific to the factor VIII C2 domain. The immune response is largely parsed into "classical" and "non...

Structure of a factor VIII C2 domain–immunoglobulin G4k Fab complex: identification of an inhibitory antibody epitope on the surface of factor VIII

The development of an immune response to infused factor VIII is a complication affecting many patients with hemophilia A. Inhibitor antibodies bind to antigenic determinants on the factor VIII molecule and block its procoagulant activity. A patient-derived inhibitory immunoglobulin G4k antibody (BO2C11) produced by an immortalized memory B-lymphocyte cell line interferes with the binding of fac...
