Abstract
Hemophilia A and B, diseases caused by the lack of factor VIII (FVIII) and factor IX (FIX) respectively, lead to insufficient thrombin production, and therefore to bleeding. New therapeutic strategies for hemophilia treatment that do not rely on clotting factor replacement, but imply the neutralization of natural anticoagulant proteins, have recently emerged. We propose an innovative approach consisting of targeting a natural and potent thrombin inhibitor, expressed by platelets, called protease nexin-1 (PN-1). By using the calibrated automated thrombin generation assay, we showed that a PN-1-neutralizing antibody could significantly shorten the thrombin burst in response to tissue factor in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from patients with mild or moderate hemophilia. In contrast, in PRP from patients with severe hemophilia, PN-1 neutralization did not improve thrombin generation. However, after collagen-induced platelet activation, PN-1 deficiency in F8-/-mice or PN-1 blocking in patients with severe disease led to a significantly improved thrombin production in PRP, underlining the regulatory role of PN-1 released from platelet granules. In various bleeding models, F8-/-/PN-1-/- mice displayed significantly reduced blood loss an...Continue Reading
