From the Departments of Although lipid oxidation products are usually
associated with tissue injury, it is now recognized that they can also
contribute to cell activation and elicit anti-inflammatory lipid
mediators. In this study, we report that membrane phospholipid
oxidation can modulate the hemostatic balance. Oxidation of natural
phospholipids results in an increased ability of the membrane surface
to support the function of the natural anticoagulant, activated protein
C (APC), without significantly altering the ability to support thrombin generation. Lipid oxidation also potentiated the ability of protein S
to enhance APC-mediated factor Va inactivation.
Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and polyunsaturation of
the fatty acids were all required for the
oxidation-dependent enhancement of APC function. A subgroup
of thrombotic patients with anti-phospholipid antibodies specifically
blocked the oxidation-dependent enhancement of APC function. Since leukocytes are recruited and activated at the thrombus
or sites of vessel injury, our findings suggest that after the initial
thrombus formation, lipid oxidation can remodel the membrane surface
resulting in increased anticoagulant function, thereby reducing the
thrombogenicity of the thrombus or injured vessel surface.
Anti-phospholipid antibodies that block this process would therefore be
expected to contribute to thrombus growth and disease.
