The appearance of anionic lipids on the extracellular surface of cells is required for the formation of the procoagulant complex that leads to the activation of prothrombin. Procoagulant activity would be expected to be inhibited by substances that stabilize the membrane structure and hence inhibit the transbilayer diffusion of phosphatidylserine from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. The generation of procoagulant activity in human erythrocytes by A23187 and Ca2+ is inhibited by apolipoprotein A-I, its amphipathic peptide analogues, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). These agents do not inhibit the Ca2+ loading of erythrocytes by A23187, nor do they inhibit the activation of prothrombin once the cells have been incubated at 37 degrees C with A23187 and Ca2+. Transbilayer diffusion of fluorescently labeled phosphatidylserine is inhibited by apolipoprotein A-I. These findings indicate that class A amphipathic helixes as well as lipoprotein particles and liposomes inhibit the transbilayer diffusion of phospholipids and procoagulant activity. This activity may contribute to the protective role of HDL against arteriosclerosis and thrombosis.
