Summary. Haemophilia A replacement therapy is dosed according to patient's weight and plasma FVIII activity (FVIII:C). The FVIII interacts with platelet membrane but limited data on the impact of platelet procoagulant activity (PCA) are available in haemophilia A. Our aim was to characterize individual PCA in vitro in 20 adult haemophilia A patients at various FVIII:C levels. We detected thrombin generation in platelet-poor (PPP) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using: (i) calibrated automated thrombography (CAT) triggered with tissue factor, (ii) adhesion-induced PCA upon collagen and (iii) annexin V binding, expression of P-selectin and active glycoprotein (GP) IIbIIIa on platelets after stimulation of GPVI with collagen-related peptide. The FVIII:C levels varied between <1% and 37%. Thrombin generation was individual and strongly enforced by platelets and associated within the three methods. Range of thrombin generation was maximal (up to 30-fold) at FVIII:C levels 1-5%, underlining the impact of platelets in the presence of traces of replacement therapy. At FVIII:C > 5% platelet contribution in the variance faded. Platelet PCA and P-selectin exposure lead to a fivefold variation. Intriguingly, at FVIII:C < 1% thrombin generation in PPP associated negatively with platelet GPVI activation, suggestive of a regulatory interplay between plasma and platelets. In haemophilia A, the variability in thrombin generation is partially related to plasma FVIII:C, but mainly dependent on platelet procoagulant capacity. Annexin V binding and PCA in response to activation by collagen receptors contribute to this variability. In all, platelet PCA at least following collagen interaction significantly impacts thrombin generation in haemophilia A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
