TITLE: Evidence for enhanced tissue factor expression in age-related macular degeneration
JOURNAL: Laboratory Investigation
ABSTRACT: Tissue factor (TF) is the primary initiator of blood coagulation. In addition to hemostasis, TF can initiate intracellular signaling and promote inflammation and angiogenesis, the key processes underlying the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD, the leading cause of irreversible blindness among the elderly, involves many genetic and environmental risk factors, including oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, TF expression was examined in human AMD tissue and in the eyes of a model of AMD, the Ccl2-/-/Cx3cr1-/-(DKO) mouse, as well as in the ARPE-19 cell line after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and H2O2 stimulation. Total RNA was extracted from tissue samples and further analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate TF protein expression. In the human retina, a 32-fold increase of TF mRNA expression was detected in AMD macular lesions compared with normal maculae. TF protein expression was also enhanced in human AMD maculae. Similarly, TF transcript and protein expression were moderately increased in retinal lesions, neuroretinal tissue, and cultured RPE cells of DKO mice compared with age-matched wild-type mice. TF expression level correlated with age in both wild-type and DKO mice. In order to better understand how AMD might lead to enhanced TF expression, 1, 5, and 10 mg/ml LPS as well as 100 and 200 mM H2O2 were used to stimulate ARPE-19 cells for 24 and 2 h, respectively. LPS treatment consistently increased TF transcript and protein expression. H2O2 alone or in combination with LPS also moderately enhanced TF expression. These results indicate that upregulated TF expression may be associated with AMD, and inflammatory and oxidative stress may contribute to TF expression in AMD eyes.

TITLE: Phosphoramidate end labeling of inorganic polyphosphates: Facile manipulation of polyphosphate for investigating and modulating its biological activities.
JOURNAL: Biochemistry, In Press.
ABSTRACT: Polyphosphates, linear polymers of inorganic phosphates linked by phosphoanhydride bonds, are widely present among organisms and play diverse roles in biology, including functioning as potent natural modulators of the human blood clotting system. However, studies of protein-polyphosphate interactions are hampered by a dearth of methods for derivatizing polyphosphate or immobilizing it onto solid supports. We now report that EDAC (1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide) efficiently promotes the covalent attachment of a variety of primary amine-containing labels and probes to the terminal phosphates of polyphosphates via stable phosphoramidate linkages. Using 31P NMR, we confirmed that EDAC-mediated reactions between primary amines and polyphosphate result in phosphoramidate linkages with the terminal phosphate groups. We show that polyphosphate can be biotinylated, labeled with fluorophores, and immobilized onto solid supports, that immobilized polyphosphate can be readily used to quantify protein binding affinities, that covalently derivatized or immobilized polyphosphate retains its ability to trigger blood clotting, and that derivatizing the ends of polyphosphate with spermidine protects it from exopolyphosphatase degradation. Our findings open up essentially the entire armamentarium of protein chemistry to modifying polyphosphate, which should greatly facilitate studies of its biological roles.

TITLE: Polyphosphate exerts differential effects on blood clotting, depending on polymer size
JOURNAL: Blood
ABSTRACT: Polyphosphate, a linear polymer of inorganic phosphate, is secreted by activated platelets and accumulates in many infectious microorganisms. We recently showed that polyphosphate modulates the blood coagulation cascade at three steps: it triggers the contact pathway, it accelerates factor V activation, and it enhances fibrin polymerization. We now report that polyphosphate exerts differential effects on blood clotting depending on polymer length. Very long polymers (>500mers, such as those present in microorganisms) were required for optimal activation of the contact pathway, while shorter polymers (~100mers, similar to the polymer lengths released by platelets) were sufficient to accelerate factor V activation and abrogate the anticoagulant function of tissue factor pathway inhibitor. Optimal enhancement of fibrin clot turbidity by polyphosphate required >250mers. Pyrophosphate, which is also secreted by activated platelets, potently blocked polyphosphate-mediated enhancement of fibrin clot structure, suggesting that pyrophosphate is a novel regulator of fibrin function. In conclusion, polyphosphate of the size secreted by platelets is very efficient at accelerating blood clotting reactions but is less efficient at initiating them or at modulating clot structure. Microbial polyphosphate, which is highly procoagulant, may function in host responses to pathogens.
