Increased homocysteine (Hcy) levels in plasma correlate with the risk of thromboic events. Red blood cells (RBCs), the most abundant blood cells in circulation, also play an active role in the process of thrombus formation. However, the effect of Hcy on procoagulant activity (PCA) of RBCs is unclear. In the present study, RBCs from healthy adults were treated with Hcy (8, 20, 80, 200, 800 μmol/L) for 24 h. Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure of RBCs and red blood cell-derived microparticles (RMPs) release were detected using Alexa Fluor 488-lactadherin. PCA was assessed by coagulation time and purified clotting complexes testes. We found that Hcy treatment dose dependently enhanced PS exposure and consequent PCA of RBCs. Hcy also elevated the formation of procoagulant RMPs, with statistical significance at 800 μmol/L of Hcy. Moreover, 128 nmol/L lactadherin inhibited about 90% PCA of RBCs and RMPs. Our data suggest that PS exposure and RMPs shedding are key sources for Hcy-induced PCA of RBCs. Lactadherin could be used to modulate the anticoagulant and procoagulant balance in this process.
