Factor Va (FVa), derived from plasma or released from stimulated
platelets, is the essential protein cofactor of the prothrombinase complex. Plasma-derived factor V (FV) is synthesized by the liver, whereas the source of the platelet-derived cofactor has not been unambiguously identified. Megakaryocytes, platelet precursors, are
known to synthesize platelet proteins and to endocytose proteins from
plasma (ie, fibrinogen) and then package these proteins into -granules. To determine which mechanism accounts for FV presence in
platelets, two patients heterozygous for FVLeiden who
underwent allogeneic transplantation from homozygous FV wild-type donors (bone marrow [BM] or liver) were studied. Patient JMW, whose
skin biopsy specimen showed heterozygous FVLeiden, received
a BM transplant from a wild-type homozygous FV donor as analyzed from
posttransplant peripheral blood cells. Patient FW, whose native liver
is heterozygous for FVLeiden, received a homozygous
wild-type FV liver. Because each individual has two distinct genetic
pools of factor V in liver and megakaryocytes, it was possible to
determine whether secretable platelet-derived FV was normal or
contained the FVLeiden mutation. Platelet-derived FVa
released from thrombin-activated platelets from a normal individual, an
individual heterozygous for the FVLeiden mutation, and the
two patients was incubated with phospholipid vesicles and activated
protein C (APC). Western blotting analyses using a monoclonal antibody
that allows distinction between platelet-derived FVa and
FVaLeiden subsequent to APC-catalyzed cleavage were then
performed. Based on the accumulation of proteolytic fragments derived
from APC-induced cleavage, analyses of platelet-derived FVa from JMW
demonstrated both normal FVa and FVaLeiden consistent with
a plasma-derived origin of the secretable platelet-derived FVa. Western
blotting analyses of the APC-cleaved platelet-derived FVa from FW
showed a wild-type phenotype, despite the presence of a
FVLeiden allele in her megakaryocyte genome, also
consistent with a plasma origin of her secretable platelet-derived FVa.
Platelets do not appear to endocytose the plasma cofactor, because a
35-hour incubation of platelet-rich plasma with 125I-factor
V showed no specific association/uptake of the radiolabeled ligand with
the platelet pellet. Collectively, these results show for the first
time that the majority of secretable platelet-derived factor V is
endocytosed by megakaryocytes from plasma and is not exclusively
synthesized by these cells, as previously believed.
