Plasma Lipoprotein Induction and Suppression of the Generation of Cellular Procoagulant Activity In Vitro: TWO PROCOAGULANT ACTIVITIES ARE PRODUCED BY PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS

Abstract

In the process of analyzing the effects of lipoproteins on functions of lymphoid cells, it was observed that physiological concentrations of isolated human plasma lipoproteins possess varying capacities to rapidly enhance the expression of procoagulant activity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro. In a strict dose-dependent fashion, very low density lipoprotein, intermediate density lipoprotein, and high density lipoprotein enhanced both the surface expression by viable cells and the total cellular content of procoagulant activity during a 6-h incubation. Very low density lipoprotein induced a maximal 6.7-fold increase in the expression of a thromboplastin activity, which was consistent with tissue factor, in that it was dependent on Factors VII, X, and II. Both intermediate density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein induced approximately a 12-fold increase of a different procoagulant activity which appears to be a direct prothrombin activator. This prothrombinase was calcium dependent and was inhibited by 2.5 mM diisopropylfluorophosphate, but was not neutralized by anti-Factor X antibodies or by inhibitors of Factor Xa. In contrast to the other lipoprotein density classes, low density lipoprotein did not stimulate procoagulant activity, but instead actively suppressed the generation of the two procoagulant activities induced by the stimulatory lipoproteins. Suppression by low density lipoprotein was clearly evident at molar ratios of low density lipoprotein to stimulatory lipoproteins of 1:3 or less. Reconstitution of all lipoproteins to physiological concentrations was not stimulatory as a consequence of the suppressive effects of low density lipoprotein. These data indicate that isolated plasma lipoproteins are capable of regulating the expression of two different procoagulant activities of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro. The possibility that these interactions may be implicated in the association between certain types of hyperlipoproteinemias and thromboembolic disease merits study.
