Expression of Factor VIII by Murine Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells

Abstract: Factor VIII (fVIII) is the procoagulant plasma glycoprotein that is missing or decreased in hemophilia A. The cellular origin of fVIII synthesis is controversial. Liver transplantation cures hemophilia A, demonstrating that the liver is a major site of fVIII synthesis. We detected fVIII mRNA in purified populations of murine liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and hepatocytes, but not Kupffer cells. LSECs and hepatocytes contained comparable numbers of fVIII mRNA (40 and 70 transcripts per cell, respect… Show more

“…Previously, murine LSEC were isolated by centrifugal elutriation or magnetic sorting, which are more complex processes. 7,10 The simpler density gradients may be sufficient for some applications. We used Tie-2-GFP cells to exclude the possibility that Kupffer cells would be mistaken for LSEC.…”

“…7,18 Moreover, hepatic endothelial damage is associated with conditions, such as sepsis, impaired liver function, veno-occlusive disease, and graft versus host disease, that could potentially benefit from endothelial reconstitution. [22][23][24][25] In principle, transplanted LSEC could enter the liver through the systemic or portal circulation, because hepatic sinusoids receive blood from both the portal vein (70%) and the hepatic artery (30%).…”

“…However, the source of the released FVIII after DDAVP stimulation has not been determined (3). Liver is a major site of FVIII production because liver transplantation completely corrects HA (46), and hepatocytes express FVIII mRNA (47). However, endstage liver disease does not cause a decrease in FVIII, FVIII mRNA is found in other organs, and spleen and lung transplantation can ameliorate HA (3).…”

“…A number of studies have reported the presence of F.VIII mRNA and protein in hepatocytes in vivo, F.VIII production by hepatocytes cultured in vitro, and even the ability to restore clotting activity through hepatocyte transplantation (235)(236)(237)(238)(239). Conversely, others have reported F.VIII synthesis in liver sinusoidal epithelial cells (LSECs) but not hepatocytes, or even in both cell types (240)(241)(242)(243)(244)(245)(246). However, the preponderance of recent evidence implicates LSECs and by extension endothelial cells in other tissues as well, which may explain the observations of F.VIII production in extrahepatic vascularized tissues such as the kidney, spleen, and lung (247)(248)(249)(250).…”
