Opis:
Fibrinogen (Fb) adsorption on positively charged latex particles (average diameter of 800 nm) was studied using the microelectrophoretic and the concentration depletion methods based on AFM imaging. Monolayers on latex were adsorbed from diluted bulk solutions at pH 7.4 and an ionic strength in the range of 10^{−3} to 0.15 M where fibrinogen molecules exhibited an average negative charge. The electrophoretic mobility of the latex after controlled fibrinogen adsorption was systematically measured. A monotonic decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of fibrinogen-covered latex was observed for all ionic strengths. The results of these experiments were interpreted according to the three-dimensional electrokinetic model. It was also determined using the concentration depletion method that fibrinogen adsorption was irreversible and the maximum coverage was equal to 0.6 mg m^{−2} for ionic strength 10^{−3} M and 1.3 mg m^{−2} for ionic strength 0.15 M. The increase of the maximum coverage was confirmed by theoretical modeling based on the random sequential adsorption approach. Paradoxically, the maximum coverage of fibrinogen on positively charged latex particles was more than two times lower than the maximum coverage obtained for negative latex particles (3.2 mg m^{−2}) at pH 7.4 and ionic strength of 0.15 M. This was interpreted as a result of the side-on adsorption of fibrinogen molecules with their negatively charged core attached to the positively charged latex surface. The stability and acid base properties of fibrinogen monolayers on latex were also determined in pH cycling experiments where it was observed that there were no irreversible conformational changes in the fibrinogen monolayers. Additionally, the zeta potential of monolayers was more positive than the zeta potential of fibrinogen in the bulk, which proves a heterogeneous charge distribution. These experimental data reveal a new, side-on adsorption mechanism of fibrinogen on positively charged surfaces and confirmed the decisive role of electrostatic interactions in this process.

Opis:
Congenital qualitative and quantitative fibrinogen disorders represent heterogeneous rare abnormalities caused by mutations in one of the 3 genes encoding individual fibrinogen polypeptide chains, located on chromosome 4q28. It is estimated that congenital fibrinogen disorder accounts for 8% of rare coagulation factor deficiencies. Most of congenital fibrinogen disorders are suspected in individuals with bleeding tendency or coincidentally discovered, for instance prior to surgery. Fibrinogen disorders could be also found in patients with thrombotic events, impaired wound healing, and recurrent spontaneous abortions. Afibrinogenemia manifests as mild to severe bleeding, while hypofibrinogenemia is often asymptomatic. Dysfibrinogenemia, a qualitative fibrinogen disorder, is associated with bleeding, thrombosis, or with no symptoms. Recent recommendations issued by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis in 2018 do not encourage routine evaluation of thrombin time or other coagulation tests in patients with suspected congenital fibrinogen disorders, highlighting the value of fibrinogen antigen measurement and genetic analysis, added to the key finding, that is, reduced fibrinogen concentration determined with a coagulometric assay. The current review summarizes practical issues in diagnostic workup and clinical management of patients with afibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia, and hypodysfibrinogenemia from a perspective of internists who may encounter patients with reduced fibrinogen concentration in everyday practice. Despite the fact that hematologists are in front line for the management of patients with bleeding tendency, internists should be aware of the clinical and laboratory findings in patients with inherited fibrinogen disorders including the risk of thromboembolism and management prior to invasive procedures.

Opis:
Irreversible side-on adsorption of fibrinogen, modeled as a linear chain of touching beads of various size, was studied theoretically using the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model. Numerical simulation of the Monte Carlo type enabled one to determine the dependence of the surface blocking function (available surface function) on the protein coverage. These numerical results were interpolated using analytical functions based on a polynomial expansion. The dependence of the jamming coverage on the size of the simulation area was also determined. By an extrapolation of these results to the infinite area size, the maximum surface concentration of fibrinogen for the side-on adsorption was determined to be 2.26 x 10(3) microm(-2). This corresponds to a jamming coverage theta(infinity) of 0.29. It was shown that the blocking function can well be approximated in the limit of high coverage by the dependence C(theta(infinity) - theta)(4). Using this interpolating expression, the kinetics of fibrinogen adsorption under convection and diffusion transport conditions were evaluated for various bulk concentrations of the protein. These kinetic curves were derived by numerically solving the mass transport equation in the bulk with the blocking function used as a nonlinear boundary condition at the interface. It was shown that our theoretical results are in agreement with experimental kinetic data obtained by AFM, ellipsometry, and other techniques for hydrophilic surfaces in the limit of low bulk fibrinogen concentration.
