Résumé
New hemophilia treatments aim at releasing the inhibition of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) on the extrinsic tenase. Our team has demonstrated that Gladomainless factor Xa (GD-FXa) can restore coagulation in FVIII- or FIX-deficient plasmas and is unable to trigger coagulation per se. In parallel, a catalytically inactive version of GD-FXa, Andexanet alfa, was proposed as antidote to direct oral anticoagulants targeting FXa. Here we show by molecular modeling that GD-FXa and inactive S195A GD-FXa have similar binding properties to TFPI Kunitz 2 domain. The binding parameters between TFPI and inactive S195A GD-FXa, measured using surface plasmon resonance, were similar to those of plasmaderived GD-FXa. As previously found for GD-FXa, inactive GD-FXa was able to restore thrombin generation in FVIII- and FIX-deficient plasmas as well as in plasmas from hemophiliacs. We, therefore, propose to use catalytically inactive GD-FXa in hemophilia.
