Résumé

Background: Protein S (PS) is a natural anticoagulant acting as a cofactor for activated protein C (APC) in the proteolytic inactivation of activated factors V (FVa) and VIII (FVIIIa), but also for tissue factor pathway inhibitor α (TFPIα) in the inhibition of activated factor X (FXa). Objective: For therapeutic purposes, we aimed at generating single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) that could specifically modulate the APC-cofactor activity of PS in vivo. Methods: A llama-derived immune library of sdAbs was generated and screened on recombinant human PS by phage display. PS binders were tested in a global activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)-based APC-cofactor activity assay. Results: A PS-specific sdAb (PS003) was found to enhance the APC-cofactor activity of PS in our APTT-based assay, and this enhancing effect was greater for a bivalent form of PS003 (PS003biv). Further characterization of PS003biv demonstrated that PS003biv also enhanced the APC-cofactor activity of PS in a tissue factor (TF)-induced thrombin generation assay and stimulated APC in the inactivation of FVa, but not FVIIIa, in plasma-based assays. Furthermore, PS003biv was directed against the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)-like domain but did not inhibit the binding of PS to C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and did not interfere with the TFPIα-cofactor activity of PS. In mice, PS003biv exerted an antithrombotic effect in a FeCl3 -induced thrombosis model, while not affecting physiological hemostasis in a tail-clip bleeding model. Discussion: Altogether, these results showed that pharmacological enhancement of the APC-cofactor activity of PS through an original anti-PS sdAb might constitute a promising and safe antithrombotic strategy.
