Enhancement of prothrombin activation on platelets by endothelial cells and mechanism of activation of factor V.

Factor Xa-catalyzed prothrombin activation occurs on cellular surfaces, including those of vascular endothelial cells. In a reconstituted model, endothelial cells and platelets acted synergistically to maximally activate prothrombin in the presence of Factor Xa. Synergism was observed at platelet concentrations less than 1 X 10(8)/ml. Thrombin formation was required for optimal prothrombin activation by endothelial cells and Factor Xa, with thrombin serving as an activator of Factor V. These data provide additional support for the hypothesis that vascular endothelium is a physiologic surface for hemostasis.

Combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII is due to mutations in either LMAN1 or MCFD2.

Mutations in LMAN1 (ERGIC-53) or MCFD2 cause combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII (F5F8D). LMAN1 and MCFD2 form a protein complex that functions as a cargo receptor ferrying FV and FVIII from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. In this study, we analyzed 10 previously reported and 10 new F5F8D families. Mutations in the LMAN1 or MCFD2 genes accounted for 15 of these families, including 3 alleles resulting in no LMAN1 mRNA accumulation. Combined with our previous reports, we have identified LMAN1 or MCFD2 mutations as the causes of F5F8D in 71 of 76 families. Among the 5 families in which no mutations were identified, 3 were due to misdiagnosis, with the remaining 2 likely carrying LMAN1 or MCFD2 mutations that were missed by direct sequencing. Our results suggest that mutations in LMAN1 and MCFD2 may account for all cases of F5F8D. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis detected a low level of LMAN1-MCFD2 complex in lymphoblasts derived from patients with missense mutations in LMAN1 (C475R) or MCFD2 (I136T), suggesting that complete loss of the complex may not be required for clinically significant reduction in FV and FVIII.

Combined factor V and factor VII deficiency. Report of a case with a record on combined defects and considerations on the relevance of partial deficiency of coagulation factors.

A patient suffering from cardiochalasia was found to be partially deficient in both coagulation factors V and VII. No bleeding tendency had been noticed. A family study showed that the father had factor VII deficiency with normal factor V, while the mother and 2 sisters had a reduced level of factor V and normal factor VII. Thus, the combined deficiency was due to chance association of two distinct independently segregating genetic defects. While a number of combinations of coagulation factor deficiency have been previously described, this, to be best of our knowledge, is the first instance of combined deficiency of factor V and VII reported so far.

Molecular analysis of the ERGIC-53 gene in 35 families with combined factor V-factor VIII deficiency.

Combined factor V-factor VIII deficiency (F5F8D) is a rare, autosomal recessive coagulation disorder in which the levels of both coagulation factors V and VIII are diminished. The F5F8D locus was previously mapped to a 1-cM interval on chromosome 18q21. Mutations in a candidate gene in this region, ERGIC-53, were recently found to be associated with the coagulation defect in nine Jewish families. We performed single-strand conformation and sequence analysis of the ERGIC-53 gene in 35 F5F8D families of different ethnic origins. We identified 13 distinct mutations accounting for 52 of 70 mutant alleles. These were 3 splice site mutations, 6 insertions and deletions resulting in translational frameshifts, 3 nonsense codons, and elimination of the translation initiation codon. These mutations are predicted to result in synthesis of either a truncated protein product or no protein at all. This study revealed that F5F8D shows extensive allelic heterogeneity and all ERGIC-53 mutations resulting in F5F8D are "null." Approximately 26% of the mutations have not been identified, suggesting that lesions in regulatory elements or severe abnormalities within the introns may be responsible for the disease in these individuals. In two such families, ERGIC-53 protein was detectable at normal levels in patients' lymphocytes, raising the further possibility of defects at other genetic loci.

The HR2 haplotype of factor V: effects on factor V levels, normalized activated protein C sensitivity ratios and the risk of venous thrombosis.

We studied the HR2 haplotype of the factor V gene in a case-control study for venous thrombosis including 474 patients with a first deep-vein thrombosis and 474 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (Leiden Thrombophilia Study, LETS). We investigated both the original His1299Arg (A4070G) polymorphism and the Met385Thr (T1328C) polymorphism. This latter polymorphism, located in exon 8 (heavy chain), is always present in the HR2 haplotype, but also occurs on its own in a His1299 (wt) background. The HR2 haplotype was not associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis (OR = 1.2, 95% confidence interval: 0.8-2.0). We did not find an association between the HR2 haplotype and a reduced sensitivity for activated protein C (APC) in non-carriers of factor V Leiden (FVL). However, in compound heterozygous FVL/HR2 carriers the sensitivity for APC was reduced. The HR2 haplotype was also associated with reduced factor V antigen levels in both patients and controls. Sequence analysis of the promoter region of factor V in HR2 homozygotes did not reveal any sequence variations that could explain the reduced FV levels. Our results show that the HR2 haplotype is not associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis or with a reduced sensitivity for APC in non-FVL carriers. However, the HR2 haplotype is associated with a reduced sensitivity for APC in carriers of FVL and with reduced factor V antigen levels.

Modulation of the enzymatic activity of alpha-thrombin by polyanions: consequences on intrinsic activation of factor V and factor VIII.

The polyanions heparin and dermatan sulfate catalyze alpha-thrombin inhibition and can delay the onset of factor VIII and factor V necessary for intrinsic prothrombin activation to begin in plasma. These polyanions bind alpha-thrombin at its anion-binding exosite(s), structural domain(s) occupancy of which may alter the properties of the fibrin(ogen) recognition exosite of alpha-thrombin. We compared how such four polyanions influenced factor VIII and factor V activation during intrinsic coagulation. A pentasaccharide with high affinity for antithrombin III and the C-terminal dodecapeptide fragment of hirudin (hirugen) which occupy the anion-binding and fibrin(ogen) recognition exosites of alpha-thrombin, respectively, could not significantly inhibit factor VIII and factor V activation. In contrast, heparin and a bis-lactobionic acid, both of which catalyzed alpha-thrombin inhibition, could effectively inhibit factor VIII and factor V activation. These results suggest that occupancy of fibrin(ogen) or anion-binding exosites by itself does not provide a necessary and sufficient condition for catalysis of thrombin inhibition or the inhibition thrombin-mediated amplification reactions.

Fine mapping of inhibitory anti-factor V antibodies using factor V C2 domain mutants. Identification of two antigenic epitopes involved in phospholipid binding.

Hemorrhagic factor V inhibitors frequently bind to the second C-type (C2) domain of factor V and interfere with phospholipid binding. To define specific residues recognized by inhibitors from four patients (one bovine thrombin-induced and three spontaneous antibodies), epitope mapping was performed using recombinant human factor V lacking most of the B-type domain (FV des B) and alanine-substituted mutants within the C2 domain (FV des B C2 mutants). FV des B C2 mutants located in the region between Lys2060 and Glu2069 were resistant to inhibition by three IgG preparations including the bovine thrombin-induced antibody in both prothrombinase and phospholipid-binding assays. In contrast, mutations at Lys2087 and Lys2092/Glu2096 were significantly resistant to inhibition by the fourth IgG preparation in both prothrombinase and phospholipid-binding assays. These results confirm interference of phospholipid binding by hemorrhagic factor V inhibitors and support the role(s) of these residues in phospholipid binding.

Inherited combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII: report of a case with normal factor VIII antigen and ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation.

A patient with inherited combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII is reported, who demonstrated normal levels of factor VIII antigen and plasma cofactor for ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation. The relationship of this condition to classical hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease is discussed. The data presented suggest that multiple loci on at least 2 chromosomes are necessary for the normal expression of factor VIII activity.

Platelet adhesiveness and aggregation in combined factor V and factor VIII deficiency and in combined factor VII and factor VIII deficiency.

Platelet aggregation and adhesiveness were studied in 3 patients with combined factor V and factor VIII deficiency and in 3 patients with combined factor VII and factor VIII deficiency. The first three patients belonged to three different kindreds whereas the second group belonged to the same kindred. Serotonin C14 uptake and release was also found to be normal in these patients. These studies indicate that platelet function is normal in combined defects of factor VIII. These findings were in agreement with the presence of a normal bleeding time and a normal factor VIII antigen level in all these patients.

Familial coagulation factor V deficiency caused by a novel 4 base pair insertion in the factor V gene: factor V Stanford.

An index patient with pseudohomozygosity for factor V Leiden was identified. Each of his two children inherited a different paternal factor V allele; a daughter was heterozygous for factor V Leiden, with 100% factor V activity, and a son was heterozygous for factor V deficiency, with 50% factor V activity. Genomic DNA was obtained from family members, and the 25 factor V exons and flanking intronic regions were sequenced in the proband and confirmed in the children. Within exon 13 of factor V, a 4 base insertion was found at NT 2856 in the proband and son. but not the daughter. This mutation, here designated factor V Stanford, results in a frameshift with loss of a thrombin activation site (R1545V) and premature termination of translation at amino acid 1560.

Biosynthetic origin and functional significance of murine platelet factor V.

Factor V (FV), a central regulatory protein in hemostasis, is distributed into distinct plasma and platelet compartments. Although platelet FV is highly concentrated within the platelet alpha-granule, previous analysis of human bone marrow and liver transplant recipients has demonstrated that platelet FV in these individuals originates entirely from the uptake of plasma FV. In order to examine further the biosynthetic origins of the platelet and plasma FV pools, we performed bone marrow transplantations of Fv-null (Fv-/-) fetal liver cells (FLCs) into wild-type mice. Fractionation of whole blood from control mice demonstrated that approximately 14% of total blood FV activity is platelet-associated. Mice that received transplants of Fv-null FLCs displayed a high degree of engraftment and appeared grossly normal, with no evidence for spontaneous hemorrhage. Although total FV levels in Fv-null FLC recipients were only mildly decreased, the FV activity within the platelet compartment was reduced to less than 1% of that in normal mice. We conclude that the murine platelet FV compartment is derived exclusively from primary biosynthesis within cells of marrow origin, presumably megakaryocytes, and that an intact platelet FV pool is not required for protection from spontaneous hemorrhage or bleeding following minor trauma.

Platelet factor V New York: a defect in factor V distinct from that in factor V Quebec resulting in impaired prothrombinase generation.

Studies were performed on a patient with a longstanding bleeding disorder whose major defects were impaired platelet prothrombinase activity in the absence of added factor Va, and a platelet factor V value that was either decreased or at the lower limit of normal when assayed on multiple occasions. In contrast, plasma factor V values were consistently normal. Unlike Scott Syndrome, in which platelet prothrombinase activity is decreased in both the presence and absence of added factor V, her platelets appeared to utilize added factor Va normally in supporting the generation of prothrombinase activity. These findings suggest an intrinsic defect in platelet factor V as the basis of her platelet prothrombinase defect. This defect appears to be different than that described in the Quebec platelet disorder (factor V Quebec). Immunoblot analyses of washed platelet lysates demonstrated a pattern of variably sized factor V molecules that was entirely similar to that observed in normal platelets, and both the heavy and light chains of her factor V after thrombin cleavage were of the same size as that observed in normal platelets. In addition, her platelet multimerin was normal and immunoblot analysis excluded the type of generalized granular protein defect and pathological proteolysis that has been suggested to explain the factor V defect in the Quebec platelet disorder. The findings in this patient thus suggest a new type of platelet factor V defect as the basis for the impaired capacity of her activated platelets to support prothrombinase generation. The findings further support an important role for platelet factor V in hemostasis.

Circumcision in a combined factor V and factor VIII deficiency using desmopressin (DDAVP).

Combined factor V and VIII deficiency is a rare inherited autosomal recessive single gene disorder commonly seen in the Middle East. Although the factor levels are between 5-30%, several authors have reported that these patients are more prone to bleeding compared to those having an isolated factor deficiency with the same levels. We report an eight-year-old boy with factor V and VIII deficiency who underwent a successful circumcision using desmopressin (DDAVP).

The role of thrombofilia related to Factor V Leiden and Factor II G20210A mutations in recurrent abortions.

OBJECTIVE: To study, the impact of thrombophilia caused by Factor V, Factor ll G20210A mutations on recurrent abortions, the prevelance of Factor V Leiden and Factor II G20210A mutation in patients with habitual abortions. METHODS: Forty one patients with a diagnosis of habitual abortion were enrolled in the study. Control group consisted of 50 women without a history of poor obstetric outcome. 10 ml. peripheral venous blood was taken from study and control groups and transferred to EDTA tubes, and were tested for Factor V Leiden and Factor II G20210A mutations by PCR in genetics laboratory. RESULTS: Phenotypes of 91 cases were determined by PCR for Factor V Leiden. It was established that of 41 patients in the study group, 31 (75.6%) had GG genotype, 9 (22%) had GA genotype and 1 (2.4%) had AA genotype. In the control group, 45 (90%) of 50 women had GG genotype and 5 (10%) had GA genotype. A allele carrier status was found to be 24.4% in study group and 10% in the control group. The difference between them was not statistically significant (p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained from patients and control group have no difference in Factor V Leiden and Factor II G20210A mutations.These results suggest that mutations have no role in etiology of 1. and 2. trimester recurrent abortions.

Coinheritance of the HR2 haplotype in the factor V gene confers an increased risk of venous thromboembolism to carriers of factor V R506Q (factor V Leiden).

With the aim of establishing whether the HR2 haplotype in factor V affects the risk of venous thromboembolism, a retrospective multicenter cohort study was performed in 810 family members identified through 174 probands who suffered from at least 1 episode of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism and had an inherited defect associated with thrombophilia (antithrombin, protein C, or protein S deficiency; factor V R506Q or prothrombin G20210A). Fifty-eight percent (468/810) of the family members had an inherited defect and 10% (47/468) were symptomatic. The HR2 haplotype was found in association with factor V R506Q more frequently in family members with venous thromboembolism (18%) than in those without (8%). Double heterozygosity for factor V R506Q and HR2 conferred a 3- to 4-fold increase in the relative risk of venous thromboembolism compared with factor V R506Q alone. The median age at first event was lower when the 2 defects were associated (46 v 52 years). No increase in risk of venous thromboembolism could be demonstrated when the HR2 haplotype was associated with inherited thrombophilic defects other than factor V R506Q. Because both factor V R506Q and the HR2 haplotype are very frequent, the effect of their coinheritance on the risk of venous thromboembolism might represent a clinically relevant issue, and screening for HR2 in carriers of factor V R506Q should be considered.

Superficial vein thrombosis of lower limbs: influence of factor V Leiden, factor II G20210A and overweight.

Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) has been reported in patients with thrombophilia. In the present unmatched case-control study, the two most common thrombophilic abnormalities (factor V Leiden and factor II G20210A) were searched for in 112 consecutive patients with SVT of lower limbs and in 180 healthy donors. FV Leiden was present in 16/112 (14.3%) SVT patients and 11/180 (6.1%) controls (odds ratio 2.51, 95% CI 1.04-6.24) and FII G20210A in 4/112 (3.6%) patients and 2/180 (1.1%) controls (OR 3.28, 95% CI 0.46-36.84). In addition, body mass index (BMI) > or =28 kg/m2 was also associated with SVT (OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.60-5.00). After adjustment for BMI > or =28 kg/m2, the association between FV Leiden and SVT remained strong though no longer statistically significant. Among patients with SVT, the presence of FV Leiden was independently associated with the absence of varicose veins (OR 4.62, 95% CI 1.25-18.0) and with a BMI > or =28 kg/m2 (OR 3.74, 95% CI 1.05-15.1). In conclusion, both FV Leiden and overweight seem to predispose to SVT, a finding that should be confirmed in larger studies.
