BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema with normal C1 inhibitor levels (HAE-N) is associated with a Factor XII mutation in 30% of subjects; however, the role of this mutation in the pathogenesis of angioedema is unclear.
OBJECTIVE: We sought evidence of abnormalities in the pathways of bradykinin formation and bradykinin degradation in the plasma of patients with HAE-N both with and without the mutation.
METHODS: Bradykinin was added to plasma, and its rate of degradation was measured by using ELISA. Plasma autoactivation was assessed by using a chromogenic assay of kallikrein formation. Plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs) 1 and 2 were also measured by means of ELISA.
RESULTS: PAI-1 levels varied from 0.1 to 4.5 ng/mL (mean, 2.4 ng/mL) in 23 control subjects, from 0.0 to 2 ng/mL (mean, 0.54 ng/mL) in patients with HAE-N with a Factor XII mutation (12 samples), and from 0.0 to 3.7 ng/mL (mean, 1.03 ng/mL) in patients with HAE-N without a Factor XII mutation (11 samples). PAI-2 levels varied from 25 to 87 ng/mL (mean, 53.8 ng/mL) in control subjects and were 0 to 25 ng/mL (mean, 4.3 ng/mL) in patients with HAE-N with or without the Factor XII mutation. Autoactivation at a 1:2 dilution was abnormally high in 8 of 17 patients with HAE-N (4 in each subcategory) and could be corrected by supplemental C1 inhibitor in 4 of them. Bradykinin degradation was markedly abnormal in 1 of 23 patients with HAE-N and normal in the remaining 22 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Bradykinin degradation was normal in all but 1 of 23 patients with HAE-N studied. By contrast, there was a marked abnormality in PAI-2 levels in patients with HAE-N that is not seen in patients with C1 inhibitor deficiency. PAI-1 levels varied considerably, but a statistically significant difference was not seen. A link between excessive fibrinolysis and bradykinin generation that is estrogen dependent is suggested.
