Investigations determined the relative preference of prekallikrein (PK) or factor XI/XIa (FXI/FXIa) binding to endothelial cells (HUVECs). In microtiter plates, biotinylated high molecular weight kininogen (biotin-HK) or biotin-FXI binding to HUVEC monolayers or their matrix proteins, but not fibronectin-coated plastic microtiter plate wells, was specifically blocked by antibodies to each of the receptors of HK, uPAR, gC1qR, or cytokeratin 1. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-PK specifically bound to HUVEC suspensions without added Zn2+, whereas FITC-FXI or -FXIa binding to HUVEC suspensions required 10 muM added Zn2+ to support specific binding. Plasma concentrations of FXI did not block FITC-PK binding to HUVECs in the absence or presence of 10 muM Zn2+. In the absence of HK, the level of FITC-FXI or -FXIa binding was half that seen in its presence. At physiologic concentrations, PK (450 nM) abolished FITC-FXI or -FXIa binding to HUVEC suspensions in the absence or presence of HK in the presence of 10 muM Zn2+. Released Zn2+ from 2-8x10(8) collagen-activated platelets/ml supported biotin-FXI binding to HUVEC monolayers, but platelet activation was not necessary to support biotin-PK binding to HUVECs. At physiologic concentrations, PK also abolished FXI binding to HUVECs in the presence of activated platelets, but FXI did not influence PK binding. PK in the presence or absence of HK preferentially bound to HUVECs over FXI or FXIa. Elevated Zn2+ concentrations are required for FXI but not PK binding, but the presence of physiologic concentrations of PK and HK also prevented FXI binding. PK preferential binding to endothelial cells contributes to their anticoagulant nature.
