The thrombogenicity of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) has been known as a risk factor since their first clinical use about 30 years ago. The development of in vivo models to define the thrombogenic components in PCCs was instrumental in providing a logical basis for selecting in vitro assays to screen for the distribution of such components during the manufacture of PCCs, and to minimize their appearance in the final product. Even so, these thrombogenic components are not completely removed, as shown in our canine nonstasis model of thrombogenicity: PCCs were still found to elicit a thrombogenic response, shown by increased fibrinopeptide A, fibrin(ogen) degradation products, activated partial thromboplastin time, and decreased fibrinogen and platelet counts when clinically relevant doses were used. The new generation of high-purity factor IX (HP-FIX) concentrates differs from PCCs because these products contain only negligible amounts of clotting factors other than factor IX, lower amounts of activated clotting factors, and, in products we have assayed, no coagulant-active phospholipids. When we infused a number of HP-FIX products in the canine nonstasis model, no thrombogenic response was observed at doses considerably greater than PCC doses that did elicit a response. Likewise, HP-FIX products were much less thrombogenic than PCCs when tested in small-animal stasis and nonstasis thrombogenicity models. Small-animal models are also useful for evaluating the role of factor IXa as a potential thrombogenic contaminant of concentrates and ensuring minimal amounts in the final product. The limitations associated with extrapolating in vivo model data will be shown to be minimal if ongoing clinical studies continue to demonstrate the low thrombogenic potential of HP-FIX concentrates in humans.

An abnormal blood coagulation factor IX has been isolated from the blood of a hemophilia B patient with a variant of the disease (hemophilia Bm) characterized by a normal concentration of factor IX antigen, negligible factor IX coagulant activity, and a prolonged prothrombin time with bovine tissue factor. The isolated protein (factor IXBm) had the same apparent molecular weight as normal factor IX (55,000) and the same mobility on two dimensional immunoelectrophoresis as normal factor IX. Factor IXBm underwent limited proteolysis induced by activated factor XI, in the presence of Ca2+ ions, or induced by the reaction product of tissue factor, factor VII and Ca2+ ions. A timecourse study showed that activated factor XI cleaved factor IXBm and factor IX at similar rates. However, in contrast to normal factor IX, the limited protelysis of factor IXBm did not generate procoagulant activity. In kinetic experiments purified factor IXBm behaved like a competitive inhibitor (Ki of 0.017 muM) of the activation of factor X by bovine tissue factor and factor VII. Normal factor IX was also found to inhibit the reaction but required a four-fold higher concentration to activate the same inhibitory effects as factor IXBm.

Activated prothrombin complex concentrates (APCCs) are effective in the therapy of bleeding episodes in hemophilic patients with inhibitors. We investigated the respective roles of factor II, factor VII, factor IX, and factor X in the procoagulant activity of the APCC FEIBA. Factor II, factor VII, factor IX, and factor X were reduced in platelet-poor plasma, and the thrombin potential (TP) was determined using a chromogenic substrate in the absence or presence of FEIBA. Reduction of factor II resulted in a significant decrease of the TP without influencing the lag phase until the onset of thrombin generation. The reduction of factor VII showed no effect on the TP, but resulted in a prolongation of the lag phase. Changes of factor IX or factor X concentrations showed neither an effect on the TP nor on lag phases. Our study demonstrates that thrombin generation in the presence of FEIBA mainly depends on prothrombin.

Consumption coagulopathy was developed in three cases of liver cirrhosis and a case of haemophilia B upon administration of Factor IX preparations which had been tested by the manufacturers for the absence of active clotting factors according to the Japanese Minimum Requirements for Biological Products. By employing the TGT determination, however, active clotting factor(s) could be detected in some of the preparations used in these cases. Accordingly, it was found necessary to modify the current test method in the Minimum Requirements by introducing calcium ion into the test medium. There was no correlation between the clotting activitiy detected by our modified test method and the Factor IX potency of the product. Addition of heparin did not significantly influence the results in our modified method.

Summary Gly-48 is in the conserved DGDQC sequence (residues 47-51 of human factor IX) of the first EGF (EGF-1)-like domain of factor IX. The importance of the Gly-48 is manifested by two hemophilia B patients; factor IXTainan and factor IX>Malmö27, with Gly-48 replaced by arginine (designated IXG48R) and valine (IXG48V), respectively. Both patients were CRM+ exhibiting mild hemophilic episodes with 25% (former) and 19% (latter) normal clotting activities. We characterize both factor IX variants to show the roles of Gly-48 and the conservation of the DGDQC sequence in factor IX. Purified plasma and recombinant factor IX variants exhibited approximately 26%–27% normal factor IX’s clotting activities with G48R or G48V mutation. Both variants depicted normal quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence by increasing concentrations of calcium ions and Tb3+, indicating that arginine and valine substitution for Gly-48 did not perturb the calcium site in the EGF-1 domain. Activation of both mutants by factor XIa appeared normal. The reduced clotting activity of factors IXG48R and IXG48V was attributed to the failure of both mutants to cleavage factor X; in the presence of only phospholipids and calcium ions, both mutants showed a 4∼7-fold elevation in K m, and by adding factor VIIIa to the system, although factor VIIIa potentiated the activation of factor X by the mutants factor IXaG48R and factor IXaG48V, a 2∼3-fold decrease in the catalytic function was observed with the mutant factor IXa’s, despite that they bound factor VIIIa on the phospholipid vesicles with only slightly reduced affinity when compared to wild-type factor IXa. The apparent K d for factor VIIIa binding was 0.83 nM for normal factor IXa, 1.74 nM for IXaG48R and 1.4 nM for IXaG48V. Strikingly, when interaction with the factor VIIa-TF complex was examined, both mutations were barely activated by the VIIa-TF complex and they also showed abnormal interaction with VIIa-TF in bovine thromboplastinbased PT assays. Taken together, our results suggest that mutations at Gly-48 altered the interaction of factor IX with its extrinsic pathway activator (VIIa-TF complex), its macromolecular substrate (factor X), and its cofactor (factor VIIIa).
