Inhibition of the intrinsic factor X activating complex by protein S: evidence for a specific binding of protein S to factor VIII.

Abstract：

:Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent nonenzymatic anticoagulant protein that acts as a cofactor to activated protein C. Recently it was shown that protein S inhibits the prothrombinase reaction independent of activated protein C. In this study, we show that protein S can also inhibit the intrinsic factor X activation via a specific interaction with factor VIII. In the presence of endothelial cells, the intrinsic activation of factor X was inhibited by protein S with an IC50 value of 0.28 +/- 0.04 mumol/L corresponding to the plasma concentration of protein S. This inhibitory effect was even more pronounced when the intrinsic factor X activation was studied in the presence of activated platelets (IC50 = 0.15 +/- 0.02 mumol/L). When a nonlimiting concentration of phospholipid vesicles was used, the plasma concentration of protein S (300 nmol/L) inhibited the intrinsic factor X activation by 40%. Thrombin-cleaved protein S inhibited the endothelial cell-mediated factor X activation with an IC50 similar to that of native protein S (0.26 +/- 0.02 mumol/L). Protein S in complex with C4b-binding protein inhibited the endothelial cell-mediated factor X activation more potently than protein S alone (IC50 = 0.19 +/- 0.03 mumol/L). Using thrombin activated factor VIII, IC50 values of 0.53 +/- 0.09 mumol/L and 0.46 +/- 0.10 mumol/L were found for native protein S and thrombin-cleaved protein S, respectively. The possible interactions of protein S with factor IXa, phospholipids, and factor VIII were investigated. The enzymatic activity of factor IXa was not affected by protein S, and interaction of protein S with the phospholipid surface could not fully explain the inhibitory effect of protein S on the factor X activation. Using a solid-phase binding assay, we showed a specific, saturable, and reversible binding of protein S to factor VIII with a high affinity. The concentration of protein S where half-maximal binding was reached (B1/2max) was 0.41 +/- 0.06 mumol/L. A similar affinity was found for the interaction of thrombin-cleaved protein S with factor VIII (B1/2max = 0.40 +/- 0.04 mumol/L). The affinity of the complex protein S with C4B-binding protein appeared to be five times higher (B1/2max = 0.07 +/- 0.03 mumol/L). Because the affinities of the interaction of the different forms of protein S with factor VIII correspond to the IC50 values observed for the intrinsic factor X activating complex, the interaction of protein S with factor VIII may explain the inhibitory effect of protein S on the intrinsic factor X activating complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
