- * Our analysis included immunoblotting and kinetic studies, revealing that both variants form unique fibrinogen-albumin complexes and show reduced polymerization ability, with K-VII being more severely affected.
- * The findings suggest that patients with Bβp.G45C are at a higher risk for bleeding, while those with Bβp.R74C may face a higher risk of thrombosis.
Article Abstract
We identified two heterozygous dysfibrinogenemias, Bβp.Gly45Cys (Kyoto VII; K-VII) and Bβp.Arg74Cys (Iida II; I-II). The impairment of polymerization of Bβp.G45C has been well analyzed; however, that of Bβp.R74C has not. Thus, we compared fibrin polymerization between these variants. To determine the structural and functional characterization of purified fibrinogens, we performed immunoblotting analysis, kinetic analyses of fibrinopeptide A and B release, and thrombin- or batroxobin-catalyzed fibrin or fibrin monomer polymerization. Immunoblotting analysis showed that both variant fibrinogens had variant fibrinogen-albumin complexes and variant fibrinogen multimers, and the amounts of fibrinogen-albumin complexes with fibrinogen K-VII was more than with fibrinogen I-II. Moreover, fibrinopeptide B release from fibrinogen K-VII was about 50% of the control, whereas the others were normal. The maximum slopes of polymerization for variant fibrinogens were reduced, but fibrinogen K-VII was reduced more than fibrinogen I-II. The present study demonstrated that both Bβp.G45C and Bβp.R74C variants showed the presence of variant fibrinogen-albumin complexes and variant fibrinogen multimers, and polymerization of Bβp.G45C was impaired more than Bβp.R74C. Our study and several previous reports concerning the clinical phenotype of both variants suggested the risks of bleeding for patients with Bβp.G45C and thrombosis for patients with Bβp.R74C.

The adsorbed protein layer on an implanted biomaterial surface is known to mediate downstream cell-material interactions that drive the host response. While the adsorption of plasma-derived proteins has been studied extensively, the adsorption of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) derived from damaged cells and matrix surrounding the implant remains poorly understood. Previously, our group developed a DAMP-adsorption model in which 3T3 fibroblast lysates were used as a complex source of cell-derived DAMPs and we demonstrated that biomaterials with adsorbed lysate potently activated RAW-Blue macrophages via Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2).

As some proteins are known to interact with sulfated and phosphated biomolecules such as specific glycosaminoglycans, this study derives from the hypothesis that sulfonate and phosphonate groups on solid polymer surfaces might cause specific interfacial interactions. Such surfaces were prepared by plasma polymerization of heptylamine (HA) and subsequent grafting of sulfonate or phosphonate groups via Michael-type addition of vinylic compounds. Adsorption of the proteins fibrinogen, albumin (HSA) and lysozyme on these functionalised plasma polymer surfaces was studied by XPS and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D).

Background: Abnormal fibrinogens can be caused by clinically silent hereditary mutations. A new case was detected accidentally in an 11-year-old girl when routine pre-operative coagulation tests were performed for nasal turbinate surgery.
Methods: The fibrinogen genes FGA, FGG and FGB were sequenced using standard protocols.
