  • The Production of Coagulation Factor VII by Adipocytes Is Enhanced by Tumor Necrosis Factor-Α Or Isoproterenol
    International Journal of Obesity (2015) 39, 747–754 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0307-0565/15 www.nature.com/ijo ORIGINAL ARTICLE The production of coagulation factor VII by adipocytes is enhanced by tumor necrosis factor-α or isoproterenol N Takahashi1,2, T Yoshizaki3, N Hiranaka1, O Kumano1,4, T Suzuki1,4, M Akanuma5,TYui5, K Kanazawa6, M Yoshida7, S Naito7, M Fujiya2, Y Kohgo2 and M Ieko1 BACKGROUND: A relationship has been reported between blood concentrations of coagulation factor VII (FVII) and obesity. In addition to its role in coagulation, FVII has been shown to inhibit insulin signals in adipocytes. However, the production of FVII by adipocytes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: We herein investigated the production and secretion of FVII by adipocytes, especially in relation to obesity-related conditions including adipose inflammation and sympathetic nerve activation. METHODS: C57Bl/6J mice were fed a low- or high-fat diet and the expression of FVII messenger RNA (mRNA) was then examined in adipose tissue. 3T3-L1 cells were used as an adipocyte model for in vitro experiments in which these cells were treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) or isoproterenol. The expression and secretion of FVII were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS: The expression of FVII mRNA in the adipose tissue of mice fed with high-fat diet was significantly higher than that in mice fed with low-fat diet. Expression of the FVII gene and protein was induced during adipogenesis and maintained in mature adipocytes. The expression and secretion of FVII mRNA were increased in the culture medium of 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with TNF-α, and these effects were blocked when these cells were exposed to inhibitors of mitogen-activated kinases or NF-κB activation.

  • The Evolving Role of Direct Thrombin Inhibitors in Acute Coronary

PII S0735-1097(02)02687-6 The Evolving Role of Direct Thrombin Inhibitors in Acute Coronary Syndromes John Eikelboom, MBBS, MSC, FRACP, FRCPA,* Harvey White, MB, CHB, DSC, FRACP, FACC,† Salim Yusuf, MBBS, DPHIL, FRCP (UK), FRCPC, FACC‡ Perth, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada The central role of thrombin in the initiation and propagation of intravascular thrombus provides a strong rationale for direct thrombin inhibitors in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Direct thrombin inhibitors are theoretically likely to be more effective than indirect thrombin inhibitors, such as unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin, because the heparins block only circulating thrombin, whereas direct thrombin inhibitors block both circulating and clot-bound thrombin. Several initial phase 3 trials did not demonstrate a convincing benefit of direct thrombin inhibitors over unfractionated heparin. However, the Direct Thrombin Inhibitor Trialists’ Collaboration meta-analysis confirms the superiority of direct thrombin inhibitors, particularly hirudin and bivalirudin, over unfractionated heparin for the prevention of death or myocardial infarction (MI) during treatment in patients with ACS, primarily due to a reduction in MI (odds ratio, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.70 to 0.91) with little impact on death. The absolute risk reduction in the composite of death or MI at the end of treatment (0.8%) was similar at 30 days (0.7%), indicating no loss of benefit after cessation of therapy.

Summary Coagulopathy is recognized as a significant aspect of morbidity in COVID-19 patients. The clotting cascade is propagated by a series of proteases, including factor Xa and thrombin. Other host proteases, including TMPRSS2, are recognized to be important for cleavage activation of SARS-CoV-2 spike to promote viral entry. Using biochemical and cell-based assays, we demonstrate that factor Xa and thrombin can also directly cleave SARS-CoV-2 spike, enhancing viral entry.

(BOVINE ORIGIN) THROMBIN-JMI® Thrombin, Topical (Bovine) must not be injected! Apply on the surface of bleeding tissue. DESCRIPTION The thrombin in Thrombin, Topical (Bovine Origin) THROMBIN-JMI® is a protein substance produced through a conversion reaction in which prothrombin of bovine origin is activated by tissue thromboplastin of bovine origin in the presence of calcium chloride. It is supplied as a sterile powder that has been freeze-dried in the final container. Also contained in the preparation are mannitol and sodium chloride. Mannitol is included to make the dried product friable and more readily soluble. The material contains no preservative. THROMBIN-JMI® has been chromatographically purified and further processed by ultrafiltration. Analytical studies demonstrate the current manufacturing process’ capability to remove significant amounts of extraneous proteins, and result in a reduction of Factor Va light chain content to levels below the limit of detection of semi-quantitative Western Blot assay (<92 ng/mL, when reconstituted as directed). The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY THROMBIN-JMI® requires no intermediate physiological agent for its action. It clots the fibrinogen of the blood directly. Failure to clot blood occurs in the rare case where the primary clotting defect is the absence of fibrinogen itself. The speed with which thrombin clots blood is dependent upon the concentration of both thrombin and fibrinogen.

Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) is a recently described serine protease in plasma and tissues, known to be involved in haemostasis, cell proliferation and migration. Methods: We investigated FSAP protein (western blotting/ELISA/immunohistochemistry) and activity (coagulation/fibrinolysis assays) in plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids and lung tissue of mechanically ventilated patients with early ARDS as compared to patients with cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and healthy controls.

  • Factor IX Complex (Human - Bebulin, Profilnine) Reference Number: ERX.SPMN.201 Effective Date: 01/17 Coding Implications Last Review Date: Revision Log
    Clinical Policy: Factor IX complex (Human - Bebulin, Profilnine) Reference Number: ERX.SPMN.201 Effective Date: 01/17 Coding Implications Last Review Date: Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Policy/Criteria It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Envolve Pharmacy SolutionsTM that factor IX complex (Bebulin®, Profilnine®) is medically necessary when the following criteria are met: I. Initial Approval Criteria A. Hemophilia B (must meet all): 1. Prescribed by or in consultation with a hematologist; 2. Diagnosis of hemophilia B; 3. Agent will used for prevention/control of bleeding episodes. Approval duration: 3 months B. Other diagnoses/indications: Refer to ERX.SPMN.16 - Global Biopharm Policy. II. Continued Approval A. Hemophilia B (must meet all): 1. Currently receiving medication via health plan benefit or member has previously met all initial approval criteria. Approval duration: 3 months B. Other diagnoses/indications (must meet 1 or 2): 1. Currently receiving medication via health plan benefit and documentation supports positive response to therapy; or 2. Refer to ERX.SPMN.16 - Global Biopharm Policy. Background Description/Mechanism of Action: Factor IX complex replaces deficient clotting factors including factor X. Hemophilia B, or Christmas disease, is an X-linked recessively inherited disorder of blood coagulation characterized by insufficient or abnormal synthesis of the clotting protein factor IX. Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor which is synthesized in the liver. Factor IX is activated by factor XIa in the intrinsic coagulation pathway. Activated factor IX (IXa), in combination with factor VII: C, activates factor X to Xa, resulting ultimately in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and the formation of a fibrin clot.

The protein C pathway is one of these anticoagulant systems. During the last few years it has been found that inherited defects of the protein C system are underlying risk factors in a majority of cases with familial thrombophilia. The factor V gene mutation recently identified in conjunction with APC resistance is such a defect which, in combination with protein C deficiency, increases the thrombosis risk considerably. The Chromogenix Monographs [Protein C and APC-resistance] give a didactic and illustrated picture of the protein C environment by presenting a general view of medical as well as technical matters. They serve as an excellent introduction and survey to everyone who wishes to learn quickly about this field of medicine.
