[PMID: 38950861 PMCID: PMC11325810 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Receptor-mediated endocytosis provides a mechanism for the selective uptake of specific molecules thereby controlling the composition of the extracellular environment and biological processes. The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a widely expressed endocytic receptor that regulates cellular events by modulating the levels of numerous extracellular molecules via rapid endocytic removal. LRP1 also participates in signalling pathways through this modulation as well as in the interaction with membrane receptors and cytoplasmic adaptor proteins. LRP1 SNPs are associated with several diseases and conditions such as migraines, aortic aneurysms, cardiopulmonary dysfunction, corneal clouding, and bone dysmorphology and mineral density. Studies using Lrp1 KO mice revealed a critical, nonredundant and tissue-specific role of LRP1 in regulating various physiological events. However, exactly how LRP1 functions to regulate so many distinct and specific processes is still not fully clear. Our recent proteomics studies have identified more than 300 secreted proteins that either directly interact with LRP1 or are modulated by LRP1 in various tissues. This review will highlight the remarkable ability of this receptor to regulate secreted molecules in a tissue-specific manner and discuss potential mechanisms underpinning such specificity. Uncovering the depth of these "hidden" specific interactions modulated by LRP1 will provide novel insights into a dynamic and complex extracellular environment that is involved in diverse biological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein receptor–related protein-1 (LRP1) is a large endocytic and signaling receptor belonging to the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene family and that is widely expressed in several tissues. LRP1 comprises a large extracellular domain (ECD; 515 kDa, α chain) and a small intracellular domain (ICD; 85 kDa, β chain). The deletion of LRP1 leads to embryonic lethality in mice, revealing a crucial but yet undefined role in embryogenesis and development. LRP1 has been postulated to participate in numerous diverse physiological and pathological processes ranging from plasma lipoprotein homeostasis, atherosclerosis, tumor evolution, and fibrinolysis to neuronal regeneration and survival. Many studies using cultured cells and in vivo animal models have revealed the important roles of LRP1 in vascular remodeling, foam cell biology, inflammation and atherosclerosis. However, its role in atherosclerosis remains controversial. LRP1 not only participates in the removal of atherogenic lipoproteins and proatherogenic ligands in the liver but also mediates the uptake of aggregated LDL to promote the formation of macrophage- and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)-derived foam cells, which causes a prothrombotic transformation of the vascular wall. The dual and opposing roles of LRP1 may also represent an interesting target for atherosclerosis therapeutics. This review highlights the influence of LRP1 during atherosclerosis development, focusing on its dual role in vascular cells and immune cells.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a biological substrate composed of collagens, proteoglycans and glycoproteins that ensures proper cell migration and adhesion and keeps the cell architecture intact. The regulation of the ECM composition is a vital process strictly controlled by, among others, proteases, growth factors and adhesion receptors. As it appears, ECM remodeling is also essential for proper neuronal and glial development and the establishment of adequate synaptic signaling. Hence, disturbances in ECM functioning are often present in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, mutations in ECM molecules are found in some forms of epilepsy and malfunctioning of ECM-related genes and pathways can be seen in, for example, cancer or ischemic injury. Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (Lrp1) is a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor family. Lrp1 is involved not only in ligand uptake, receptor mediated endocytosis and lipoprotein transport—functions shared by low density lipoprotein receptor family members—but also regulates cell surface protease activity, controls cellular entry and binding of toxins and viruses, protects against atherosclerosis and acts on many cell signaling pathways. Given the plethora of functions, it is not surprising that Lrp1 also impacts the ECM and is involved in its remodeling. This review focuses on the role of Lrp1 and some of its major ligands on ECM function. Specifically, interactions with two Lrp1 ligands, integrins and tissue plasminogen activator are described in more detail.

Abstract
Plasma coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) initiates the coagulation cascade by binding to its cofactor, tissue factor (TF) on cell surfaces, which eventually leads to fibrin deposition and platelet activation. Recent studies showed that FVIIa also binds to endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR), a known cellular receptor for anticoagulant protein C\activated protein C, on the endothelium. The present article reviews our current knowledge of FVIIa interaction with EPCR and discusses the potential significance of this interaction in hemostasis, treatment of bleeding disorders with pharmacological doses of FVIIa and FVIIa clearance.

Abstract
The hyaluronic acid receptor for endocytosis (HARE; also designated Stabilin-2) mediates systemic clearance of hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfates from the vascular and lymphatic circulations. The internalized glycosaminoglycans are degraded in lysosomes, thus completing their normal turnover process. Sinusoidal endothelial cells of human liver, lymph node, and spleen express two HARE isoforms of 315 and 190 kDa. Here we report that the 190- and 315-kDa HARE isoforms, expressed stably either in Flp-In 293 cell lines or as soluble ectodomains, specifically bind heparin (Hep). The K(d) for Hep binding to purified 190- and 315-kDa HARE ectodomains was 17.2 +/- 4.9 and 23.4 +/- 5.3 nm, respectively. Cells expressing HARE readily and specifically internalized (125)I-streptavidin-biotin-Hep complexes, which was inhibited >70% by hyperosmolar conditions, confirming that uptake is mediated by the clathrin-coated pit pathway. Internalization of Hep occurred for many hours with an estimated HARE recycling time of approximately 12 min. Internalized fluorescent streptavidin-biotin-Hep was present in a typical endocytic vesicular pattern and was delivered to lysosomes. We conclude that HARE in the sinusoidal endothelial cells of lymph nodes and liver likely mediates the efficient systemic clearance of Hep and many different Hep-binding protein complexes from the lymphatic and vascular circulations.

Abstract
Under normal conditions the blood circulates freely within the confines of the vascular system, carrying oxygen, nutrients, and hormonal information around the body and removing metabolic waste. If blood gains access to extravascular sites, or the vasculature becomes pathologically challenged, hemostasis may be activated. This process is finely regulated by positive and negative feedback loops that modulate fibrin clot formation. Blood coagulation revolves around the activation and assembly of the components of the prothrombinase complex, which converts the inactive zymogen, prothrombin, into its active form, thrombin. This serine protease catalyzes the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, the structural scaffold that stabilizes platelet aggregates at sites of vascular injury. The extent of the hemostatic response is controlled by the action of inhibitory pathways, which ensure that thrombin activity and the spread of the hemostatic plug is limited to the site of vessel damage. This review article focuses on the major physiological regulator of tissue factor-induced coagulation, tissue factor pathway inhibitor, its expression, anticoagulant function, and its role in normal hemostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue factor (TF), a membrane-bound glycoprotein that initiates blood coagulation by allosteric activation of factor (f) VII, is regulated predominantly by tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). Because vascular endothelial cells synthesize and constitutively secrete TFPI and fXa may directly influence its cellular clearance, we sought to determine the effects of DX-9065a, a direct and selective fXa inhibitor, on TFPI kinetics in culture. METHODS/RESULTS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were grown to confluence and incubated with unfractionated heparin (1.0 U/mL), enoxaparin (1.5 U/mL), or DX-9065a at low (10 ng/ml), moderate (30 ng/ml), or high (90 ng/ml) concentrations. Compared to control, increases in TFPI were seen with both unfractionated heparin (182% higher, p < 0.001) and enoxaparin (194% higher, p < 0.001). Low concentration DX-9065a did not increase TFPI levels above control (0.8% higher, p = 0.91). In contrast, moderate and high concentrations produced 124% higher (p < 0.001) and 198% higher (p < 0.001) TFPI concentrations than control, respectively. CONCLUSIONS DX-9065a increases vascular endothelial cell TFPI concentrations in human tissue culture. Although the mechanism has yet to be established, decreased fXa availability may limit fXa-TFPI complex formation and its subsequent cellular uptake. Whether increased surface TFPI contributes to the overall anticoagulant profile of DX-9065a will require further investigation.

Abstract
The presence of activation peptides (AP) of the vitamin K-dependent proteins in the phlebotomy blood of human subjects suggests that active serine proteases may circulate in blood as well. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the influence of trace amounts of key coagulation proteases on tissue factor-independent thrombin generation using three models of coagulation. With procoagulants and select coagulation inhibitors at mean physiological concentrations, concentrations of factor IXa, factor Xa, and thrombin were set either equal to those of their AP or to values that would result based upon the rates of AP/enzyme generation and steady state enzyme inhibition. In the latter case, numerical simulation predicts that sufficient thrombin to produce a solid clot would be generated in approximately 2 min. Empirical data from the synthetic plasma suggest clotting times of 3-5 min, which are similar to that observed in contact pathway-inhibited whole blood (4.3 min) initiated with the same concentrations of factors IXa and Xa and thrombin. Numerical simulations performed with the concentrations of two of the enzymes held constant and one varied suggest that the presence of any pair of enzymes is sufficient to yield rapid clot formation. Modeling of states (numerical simulation and whole blood) where only one circulating protease is present at steady state concentration shows significant thrombin generation only for factor IXa. The addition of factor Xa and thrombin has little effect (if any) on thrombin generation induced by factor IXa alone. These data indicate that 1) concentrations of active coagulation enzymes circulating in vivo are significantly lower than can be predicted from the concentrations of their AP, and 2) expected trace amounts of factor IXa can trigger thrombin generation in the absence of tissue factor.

Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is now recognized as a major physiological anticoagulant. Its main role is to modulate factor VIIa/tissue factor catalytic activity. Another important role is to potentiate the effect of heparins. TFPI is released from the vascular endothelium after injection of either unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs), which may then provide high concentrations of TFPI at sites of tissue damage and ongoing thrombosis. In dilute prothrombin-time-based assays, released TFPI contributes approximately one-third to the anticoagulant effect of heparin, the remaining being accounted for by antithrombin. Released TFPI, but not plasma TFPI, contains the basic carboxy-terminal tail which is important for the anticoagulant effect. UFH and LMWH exert differential effects on intravascular TFPI. UFH, but not LMWH, given in therapeutic doses, is associated with a progressive depletion of TFPI, which is associated with a strong rebound activation of coagulation after cessation of treatment. Such depletion may explain the apparent superior efficacy of LMWH observed in clinical trials.

Abstract
AbstractTissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) plays a key role in the regulation of tissue factor-initiated blood coagulation secondary to loss of the integrity of the blood vessel wall. TFPI is a naturally occurring Kunitz-type protease inhibitor that inhibits coagulation factor Xa and, in a factor Xa-dependent manner, mediates feedback inhibition of the factor VIIa/tissuefactor catalytic complex. In vivo full-length TFPI is thought to be primarily bound to the vascular endothelium and the high affinity binding requires an intact carboxy terminus. Here we describe a full-length TFPI molecule, expressed in mouse C127 cells (TFPIC127), which exhibits virtually no cellular binding yet contains the intact carboxy terminus. This TFPI (TFPIC127) is neither internalized nor degraded via the TFPI endocytic receptor, LDL-receptor–related protein. Pharmacokinetic studies of TFPIC127 in vivo demonstrate a 10-fold prolongation in the plasma half-life, compared with that of bacterial recombinant TFPI.

Abstract
Endothelial and tumor cells synthesize tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI-1), which regulates tissue factor (TF) function by TF. VIIa. Xa. TFPI-1 quaternary complex formation (where VIIa and Xa are coagulation factors) and by translocation of these complexes into glycosphingolipid-rich microdomains of the cell membrane. Recombinant TFPI-1 added exogenously to cells is targeted to a degradation pathway. This study analyzes whether quaternary complex formation with endogenous TFPI-1 results also in internalization and degradation. We demonstrate that endogenous TFPI-1 and recombinant TFPI-1 differ in their distribution on the cell surface. Recombinant TFPI-1 is found in phospholipid- and glycosphingolipid-rich membrane domains, whereas endogenous TFPI-1 preferentially localizes to glycosphingolipid-rich microdomains. On quaternary complex formation, endogenous TFPI-1 remains protease sensitive and accessible for antibodies on intact cells, demonstrating that it is not appreciably internalized. Rather, regulation of TF by TFPI-1 is restored within 12 hours, consistent with dissociation of quaternary complexes on the cell surface. Endogenous TFPI-1 can be released from the cell surface by phospholipase treatment, indicating that TFPI-1 either is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein or binds to a GPI-linked receptor. We demonstrate that expression of a recombinant GPI-anchored form of TFPI-1 targets TF. VIIa complexes to glycosphingolipid-rich membrane fractions. Thus, GPI anchoring of TFPI-1 is sufficient for regulation of TF. VIIa complex function by a pathway of reversible inhibition rather than internalization and degradation.

Abstract
In the present study, we found that catabolism of coagulation factor VIII (fVIII) is mediated by the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LPR), a liver multiligand endocytic receptor. In a solid phase assay, fVIII was shown to bind to LRP (K(d) 116 nM). The specificity was confirmed by a complete inhibition of fVIII/LRP binding by 39-kDa receptor-associated protein (RAP), an antagonist of all LRP ligands. The region of fVIII involved in its binding to LRP was localized within the A2 domain residues 484-509, based on the ability of the isolated A2 domain and the synthetic A2 domain peptide 484-509 to prevent fVIII interaction with LRP. Since vWf did not inhibit fVIII binding to LRP, we proposed that LRP receptor may internalize fVIII from its complex with vWf. Consistent with this hypothesis, mouse embryonic fibroblasts that express LRP, but not fibroblasts genetically deficient in LRP, were able to catabolize (125)I-fVIII complexed with vWf, which was not internalized by the cells. These processes could be inhibited by RAP and A2 subunit of fVIII, indicating that cellular internalization and degradation were mediated by interaction of the A2 domain of fVIII with LRP. In vivo studies of (125)I-fVIII.vWf complex clearance in mice demonstrated that RAP completely inhibited the fast phase of the biphasic (125)I-fVIII clearance that is responsible for removal of 60% of fVIII from circulation. Inhibition of the RAP-sensitive phase prolonged the half-life of (125)I-fVIII in circulation by 3.3-fold, indicating that LRP receptor plays an important role in fVIII clearance.

Abstract
The intimal thickening that follows vascular injury is inhibited by periprocedural tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) treatment in animal models. TFPI is a multivalent Kunitz-type protease inhibitor that inhibits factor Xa via its second Kunitz domain and the factor VIIa/tissue factor (TF) complex via its first Kunitz domain. The basic C-terminus of TFPI is required for the binding of TFPI to cell surfaces and cell-bound TFPI mediates the internalization and degradation of factor X and the down regulation of surface factor VIIa/TF activity. The C-terminus of TFPI is also required for its reported direct inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro. To examine the structural requirements for the inhibition of neointimal formation by TFPI, several TFPI-related proteins were tested in the rat carotid angioplasty model: 1) XK(1), a hybrid protein containing the N-terminal portion of factor X and the first Kunitz domain of TFPI that directly inhibits factor VIIa/TF; 2) TFPI(WT), the full-length TFPI molecule that inhibits factor Xa and factor VIIa/TF and binds cell surfaces; 3) TFPI(K36I), an altered form of TFPI that inhibits factor Xa, but not factor VIIa/TF, and binds cell surfaces; 4) TFPI(13-161), a truncated form of TFPI that inhibits factor VIIa/TF but interacts with factor Xa poorly and does not bind to cell surfaces. Seven day infusions of XK(1), TFPI(WT), and high levels of TFPI(K36I) begun the day before balloon-induced vascular injury produced a significant reduction in the intimal hyperplasia measured 28 days after angioplasty. The infusion of high concentrations of TFPI(13-161) was ineffective in this model. These in vivo results directly mirror the ability of each TFPI-related protein to inhibit tissue thromboplastin-induced coagulation in rat plasma: XK(1) approximately TFPI(WT)>TFPI(K36I)>>TFPI(13-161). The studies confirm the important role of TF-mediated coagulation in the smooth muscle proliferation and neointimal thickening that follows vascular injury and suggest that the anticoagulant effect alone of TFPI and TFPI-related proteins is sufficient to explain their therapeutic action.

Abstract
Inflammatory mediators like bacterial lipopolysaccharide induce monocytes to express tissue factor (TF), the cell-surface protein that triggers the blood clotting cascade in hemostasis and thrombotic disease. The physiologic ligand for TF is the serine protease, factor VIIa (FVIIa), and the resulting bimolecular enzyme, TF/FVIIa, can be reversibly inhibited by tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). Culturing monocytic cells in the presence of both FVIIa and TFPI caused down-regulation of TF expression via reducing its half-life. To exert this effect, FVIIa had to be competent to bind both TF and TFPI, and TFPI had to contain the C-terminal domain required for binding to other cell-surface receptors, including the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). TF down-regulation by FVIIa plus TFPI was abrogated by the 39-kDa receptor-associated protein, which blocks binding of all known ligands to LRP. Furthermore, treatment with FVIIa plus TFPI caused monocyte TF to colocalize with alpha-adaptin, a component of clathrin-coated pits. Thus, in addition to reversibly inhibiting TF/FVIIa catalytic activity, TFPI also mediates the permanent down-regulation of cell-surface TF in monocytic cells via LRP-dependent internalization and degradation. This represents an unusual mechanism for receptor internalization, requiring ligand-dependent bridging of one cell-surface receptor (TF) to a second cell-surface receptor (LRP), the latter being capable of clathrin-mediated internalization.

Abstract
We have recently shown that a complex formation of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and factor Xa (Xa) promotes a clearance of proteoglycans-associated TFPI. In the current studies, the interaction between human recombinant TFPI (h-rTFPI) and Xa were kinetically analyzed by utilizing both a protease inhibitor, p-(amidophenyl) methanesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride, and a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the complex of h-rTFPI with Xa. We further investigated the effect of antithrombin III on the complex formation between h-rTFPI and Xa. We found that the h-rTFPI/Xa complex formed in a time-dependent manner: the second-order rate constant (K1) for the complex formation was calculated to be 0.86x10(6) M(-1)s(-1). The addition of antithrombin III to the h-rTFPI solution modestly reduced the rate of the complex formation between h-rTFPI and Xa. Heparin strikingly enhanced antithrombin III's inhibition of Xa and resulted in complete abrogation of the complex formation between h-rTFPI and Xa in the absence or presence of acidic phospholipids. Furthermore, antithrombin III induced dissociation of the preformed h-rTFPI/Xa complex in the presence of heparin. These results suggest that in the presence of heparin, antithrombin III interferes with the catabolism of TFPI mediated via Xa.

Abstract
Blood coagulation factor X plays a pivotal role in the clotting cascade. When administered intravenously to mice, the majority of activated factor X (factor Xa) binds to α2-macroglobulin (α2M) and is rapidly cleared from the circulation into liver. We show here that the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is responsible for factor Xa catabolism in vivo. Mice overexpressing a 39-kD receptor-associated protein that binds to LRP and inhibits its ligand binding activity displayed dramatically prolonged plasma clearance of 125I-factor Xa. Preadministration of α2M-proteinase complexes (α2M*) also diminished the plasma clearance of125I-factor Xa in a dose-dependent fashion. The clearance of preformed complexes of 125I-factor Xa and α2M was similar to that of 125I-factor Xa alone and was also inhibited by mice overexpressing a 39-kD receptor-associated protein. These results thus suggest that, in vivo, factor Xa is metabolized via LRP after complex formation with α2M.

Abstract
AbstractTissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a serine protease inhibitor of the extrinsic coagulation system, synthesized in endothelial cells, which has recently been shown to play an important role in the regulation of activated coagulation factors at the endothelial cell surface. In the present study we investigated the subcellular localization and metabolism of TFPI in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Immunocytochemical labeling of HUVEC with anti-TFPI showed specific labeling associated with the cell surface and with many intracellular organelles including the Golgi complex. Further characterization of these organelles was performed by colocalizing the anti-TFPI with 3-(2,4-dinitroanilino)′-amino-N-methyldipropylamine (DAMP; to demonstrate low pH), mannose phosphate receptor (endosomes), and LAMP 1 (late endocytic compartments). TFPI also colocalized with antibodies to the human transferrin receptor, a marker for early endocytic, recycling compartment. Endogenous TFPI colocalized with biotin in intracellular vesicles during endocytosis after biotinylation of the cell surface, which indicated that TFPI was being co-internalized with the surface biotin. The binding of exogenously added 125I-TFPI increased linearly to HUVEC over the concentration range of 0 to 32 nmol/L without saturation, the binding was not affected by up to a thousand-fold molar excess of unlabeled TFPI, and heparin inhibited the binding dose dependently. An intact C-terminal domain was important for the interaction between TFPI and the cell surface of HUVEC, because less than 10% of a C-terminal truncated form of TFPI (TFPI1-161 ) was bound after addition of equimolar concentrations of full-length TFPI. Exogenously added 125I-TFPI was not degraded in HUVEC during 4 hours at 37°C. The presence of TFPI in endocytic and recycling compartments support the hypothesis that endogenous, membrane-anchored TFPI could be internalized for subsequent recycling back to the cell surface.

Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a multivalent Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor that directly inhibits factor Xa and, in a factor Xa–dependent fashion, produces feedback inhibition of the factor VIIa/TF catalytic complex responsible for the initiation of coagulation. To further define the physiologic role of TFPI, gene-targeting techniques were used to disrupt exon 4 of the TFPI gene in mice. This exon encodes Kunitz domain-1 of TFPI, which is required for factor VIIa/TF inhibition. In mice heterozygous for TFPI gene-disruption, TFPIK1(+/−), an altered form of TFPI lacking Kunitz domain-1, circulates in plasma at a concentration ∼40% that of wild-type TFPI. TFPIK1(+/−) animals have plasma TFPI activity ∼50% that of wild-type mice, based on a functional assay that measures factor VIIa/TF inhibition, and have a normal phenotype. Sixty percent of TFPIK1(−/−) mice die between embryonic days E9.5 and E11.5 with signs of yolk sac hemorrhage. The extent of structural abnormalities within the yolk sac vascular system appears to mirror the condition of the embryo, suggesting that the embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues are both responding to same insult, presumably circulatory insufficiency. Organogenesis is normal in TFPIK1 null animals that progress beyond E11.5, but hemorrhage, particularly in the central nervous system and tail, is evident during later gestation and none of the TFPIK1(−/−) mice survive to the neonatal period. The presence of immunoreactive fibrin(ogen) in the liver and intravascular thrombi is consistent with the notion that unregulated factor VIIa/TF action and a consequent consumptive coagulopathy underlies the bleeding diathesis in these older embryos. Human TFPI-deficient embryos may suffer a similar fate because an individual with TFPI deficiency has not been identified.

Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a potent inhibitor of blood coagulation factor Xa (fXa) and factor VIIa. We have recently shown that fXa binding stimulates the uptake and degradation of cell surface-bound 125I-TFPI (Ho, G., Toomey, J. R., Broze, G. J., Jr., and Schwartz, A. L. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 9497-9502). In the present study we examined the role of cell surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in this process. Removal of cell surface GAG chains by treatment of cells with heparinase or heparitinase but not chondroitinase markedly reduced fXa-stimulated 125I-TFPI uptake and degradation. Inhibition of GAG sulfation by growth of cells in chlorate-containing medium similarly decreased fXa-stimulated 125I-TFPI degradation. These results suggest that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are required for the uptake and degradation of 125I-TFPI.fXa complexes. Chemical cross-linking/immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that 125I-TFPI was directly associated with HSPGs on the cell surface and that fXa binding increased the amount of 125I-TFPI bound. Of the several cell lines evaluated, bend endothelial cells demonstrated the greatest fXa stimulation of 125I-TFPI uptake and degradation. Cross-linking/immunoprecipitation analyses on bend cells also revealed that HSPGs were specifically associated with TFPI and fXa. These data suggest that HSPGs may directly act as the uptake and degradation receptor for TFPI.fXa complexes.
