It has been established that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is involved in the cellular uptake and degradation of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) in vitro. To address the physiological role of LRP in regulating plasma FVIII in vivo, we have used cre/loxP-mediated conditional LRP deficient mice (MX1cre+LRPflox/flox). Upon inactivation of the LRP gene, MX1cre+LRPflox/flox mice had significantly higher plasma FVIII as compared to control LRPflox/flox mice (3.4 and 2.0 U/mL, respectively; P < 0.001). Elevated plasma FVIII levels in MX1cre+LRPflox/flox mice coincided with increased plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) (2.0 and 1.6 U/mL, for MX1cre+LRPflox/flox and control LRPflox/flox mice, respectively; P < 0.05). Elevation of plasma FVIII and vWF persisted for at least six weeks after inactivation of the LRP gene. Upon comparing plasma FVIII and vWF within individual mice, an increase of FVIII/vWF ratio in MX1cre+LRPflox/flox mice was observed as compared to control LRPflox/flox mice. Administration of either a vasopressin analogue or endotoxin resulted in increased plasma vWF, but not FVIII. In clearance experiments MX1cre+LRPflox/flox mice displayed a 1.5-fold prolongation of FVIII mean residence time. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of the 39-kDa receptor-associated protein in normal mice resulted in a 3.5-fold increase of plasma FVIII. These data confirm that the regulation of plasma FVIII in vivo involves a RAP-sensitive mechanism. Surprisingly, plasma FVIII in MX1cre+LRPflox/flox mice increased 2-fold after receptor-associated protein gene transfer. Collectively, we propose that other RAP-sensitive determinants than hepatic LRP contribute to the regulation of plasma FVIII in vivo.
