Non-enzymatic glycation reduces heparin cofactor II anti-thrombin activity

Abstract: The effects of non-enzymatic glycation on heparin cofactor II activity, at glucose concentrations which might be expected in physiological or diabetic conditions have been evaluated in this study. Radiolabelled glucose incorporation was associated with a loss of heparin cofactor anti-thrombin activity. The heparin cofactor heparin and dermatan sulfate-dependent inhibition of thrombin was significantly reduced, showing a remarkable decrease of the maximum second order rate constant. This study shows that hepari… Show more

“…Other important features of AGE-induced vasculopathy include effects on coagulation and fibrinolysis (Table 1); specifically, reduced platelet survival and increased aggregation [105,106], alterations in coagulation factors such as anti-thrombin-III, tissue factor and thrombomodulin [12], and effects on fibrin stabilisation [107]. The end result is the promotion of a procoagulant state.…”

“…Indeed, non-enzymatic glycation of fibrinogen shows a significant resistance in susceptibility to plasmin degradation (Murakami et al, 1990), while AGE-modification of annexin II impairs the appropriate formation of the t-PA/annexin II complex, thus disturbing the fibrinolytic system as well (Gugliucci et al, 2002). Glycated heparin cofactor II is also shown to lose its antithrombin activity in diabetes (Ceriello et al, 1990).…”

“…HCII and antithrombin III inactivate thrombin by similar mecha nisms [1], Clinical studies on antithrombin III in diabetes have provided evidence for a reduction in the biological activity of anti thrombin III, despite normal plasma concen tration [9][10][11][12][13], and this phenomenon seems to be due to a nonenzymatic glycation pro cess [5][6][7], The nonenzymatic glycation of HCII has been recently shown [18]. Interest ingly, this phenomenon, occurring at glucose concentrations that may be encountered in the plasma of diabetic patients, is capable to reduce HCII antithrombin activity [18], Thus a role of in vivo nonenzymatic glyca tion in determining this phenomenon may be hypothesized.…”

“…Several studies of the fluid phase of coagula tion suggest that diabetes is associated with a hypercoagulable state [3,4], It is well known that the nonenzymatic glycation of another protease inhibitor, antithrombin III, pro duces a significant decrease in thrombininhibiting activity in vitro [5][6][7] and that in insulin-dependent diabetics the degree of re duction was shown to be related directly to the level of Hb A1 [8], glycated proteins [9] and fasting blood glucose [ 10], Furthermore, heparin [11] or low-molecular-weight hepa rin [12] administration and the achievement of improved metabolic control [13,14] were able to restore antithrombin III activity in diabetic patients.…”
