Defective TAFI activation in hemophilia A mice is a major contributor to joint bleeding.

Abstract

Joint bleeds are common in congenital hemophilia but rare in acquired hemophilia A (aHA) for reasons unknown. To identify key mechanisms responsible for joint-specific bleeding in congenital hemophilia, bleeding phenotypes after joint injury and tail transection were compared in aHA wild-type (WT) mice (receiving an anti-factor VIII [FVIII] antibody) and congenital HA (FVIII-/-) mice. Both aHA and FVIII-/- mice bled severely after tail transection, but consistent with clinical findings, joint bleeding was notably milder in aHA compared with FVIII-/- mice. Focus was directed to thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) to determine its potentially protective effect on joint bleeding in aHA. Joint bleeding in TAFI-/- mice with anti-FVIII antibody was increased, compared with WT aHA mice, and became indistinguishable from joint bleeding in FVIII-/- mice. Measurements of circulating TAFI zymogen consumption after joint injury indicated severely defective TAFI activation in FVIII-/- mice in vivo, consistent with previous in vitro analyses in FVIII-deficient plasma. In contrast, notable TAFI activation was observed in aHA mice, suggesting that TAFI protected aHA joints against bleeding. Pharmacological inhibitors of fibrinol...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
