Autoantibodies against the fibrinolytic receptor, annexin 2, in antiphospholipid syndrome

Abstract: The association of thrombosis and gestational morbidity with antiphospholipid antibodies is termed antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Annexin 2 (A2) is a profibrinolytic endothelial cell surface receptor that binds plasminogen, its tissue activator (tPA), and beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI), the main antigen for antiphospholipid antibodies. Here, we evaluate A2 as a target antigen in APS. Serum samples from 434 individuals (206 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus without thrombosis, 62 with APS, 21 with… Show more

“…Annexin II is directly involved in the pathogenesis of APS. Binding of ␤ 2 GPI to human umbilical vein endothelial cells is mediated by annexin II (23). By functioning as a receptor for ␤ 2 GPI, annexin II is a target not only for anti-annexin II antibodies but also for anti-␤ 2 GPI antibodies, which are direct inducers of TF overexpression and thus are significantly associated with thrombosis in the setting of APS (18).…”

“…Anti-annexin A2 antibodies as well as bivalent anti-annexin A2 (Fab') 2 fragments were able to activate EC whereas monomeric Fab fragments prevented the activation induced by antiannexin A2 or anti-β2GP1 antibodies [68]. Furthermore, anti-annexin A2 antibodies isolated from plasma of patients are equally efficient as anti-β2GP1 antibodies to induce TF expression by EC [69]. Antiannexin A2 antibodies increased also thrombosis extent in a mouse model of thrombosis [30].…”

“…Fifth, A2 is strikingly overexpressed in blast cells and is associated with hyperfibrinolytic hemorrhage in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (13). Sixth, autoantibodies directed against A2 are prevalent and associated with clinical thrombosis in patients with the anti-phospholipid syndrome (14). Finally, infusion of recombinant A2 can reverse microvascular fibrin accumulation and restore perivascular fibrinolysis in hyperhomocysteinemic mice, which are susceptible to arterial thrombosis (15).…”
