To test the hypotheses that some thrombin-reactive anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) may bind to protein C (PC) and/or activated PC (APC), and that some of the PC- and APC-reactive aCL may inhibit PC activation and/or the function of APC.
We studied the reactivity of patient-derived monoclonal aCL with PC and APC. We examined the effects of the reactive antibodies on PC activation and on the activity of APC in plasma coagulation.
Five of 5 patient-derived, thrombin-reactive monoclonal aCL bound to PC and APC. In addition, 1 patient-derived monoclonal antiprothrombin antibody (APT) that displayed aCL activity and reacted with thrombin also bound to PC and APC. Of these 6 PC- and APC-reactive aCL/APT, all failed to inhibit PC activation, but 1 (CL15) shortened the plasma coagulation time in the presence of exogenous APC and thus inhibited the anticoagulant function of APC.
Most of the thrombin-reactive aCL in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome may bind to PC and APC. Of the APC-reactive aCL, some (like CL15) may inhibit the anticoagulant function of APC and are thus likely to be prothrombotic in the host.
验证以下假设,即某些凝血酶反应性抗心磷脂抗体(aCL)可能与蛋白C(PC)和/或活化蛋白C(APC)结合,且某些与PC和APC反应的aCL可能抑制PC活化和/或APC的功能。
我们研究了患者来源的单克隆aCL与PC和APC的反应性。我们检测了反应性抗体对PC活化以及血浆凝血中APC活性的影响。
5例患者来源的凝血酶反应性单克隆aCL中有5例与PC和APC结合。此外,1例显示aCL活性且与凝血酶反应的患者来源的单克隆抗凝血酶原抗体(APT)也与PC和APC结合。在这6种与PC和APC反应的aCL/APT中,所有均未能抑制PC活化,但1种(CL15)在存在外源性APC的情况下缩短了血浆凝血时间,从而抑制了APC的抗凝功能。
抗磷脂综合征患者中大多数凝血酶反应性aCL可能与PC和APC结合。在与APC反应的aCL中,有些(如CL15)可能抑制APC的抗凝功能,因此在宿主体内可能具有促血栓形成作用。
