Abstrakt: Background: Direct oral factor (F)Xa inhibitors are widely used as alternatives to conventional vitamin K antagonists in managing venous thromboembolism and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Unfortunately, bleeding-related adverse events remain a major concern in clinical practice. In case of bleeding or emergency surgery, rapid-onset reversal agents may be required to counteract the anticoagulant activity.
Objectives: The ability of FXa variants to bypass the direct oral FXa inhibitors was assessed.
Methods: Human FXa variants were generated through substitution of phenylalanine 174 (F174) for either alanine, isoleucine, or serine. FXa variants were stably expressed in HEK293 cells and purified to homogeneity using ion-exchange chromatography.
Results: F174-substituted human FX variants demonstrated efficacy in restoring thrombin generation in plasma containing direct FXa inhibitors (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban). Their ability to bypass the anticoagulant effects stems from a significantly reduced sensitivity for the direct FXa inhibitors due to a decrease in binding affinity determined using molecular dynamics simulations and free energy computation. Furthermore, F174 modification resulted in a partial loss of inhibition by tissue factor pathway inhibitor, enhancing the procoagulant effect of F174-substituted FX. Consequently, the F174A- and F174S-substituted FX variants effectively counteracted the effects of 2 widely used anticoagulants, apixaban and rivaroxaban, in plasma of atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism patients.
Conclusion: These human FX variants have the potential to serve as a rescue reversal strategy to overcome the effect of direct FXa inhibitors in case of life-threatening bleeding events or emergency surgical interventions.
