While extrahepatic factor VIII (FVIII) synthesis suffices for hemostasis, the extrahepatic production sites are not well defined. We therefore investigated the ability of the human lungs to produce FVIII. Lungs from heart-beating donors, declined for transplantation, were perfused and ventilated in an isolated reperfusion model for two hours. A progressive accumulation of FVIII and VWF was recorded in the perfusion medium in three out of four experiments. By contrast, factor V, fibrinogen and IgG levels remained constant during the perfusion period, indicating that the accumulation of FVIII and VWF was not due to diffusion from the intercellular medium into the vascular system. Purified human lung microvascular endothelial cells produced FVIII during at least two passages in vitro. Altogether, these data identify the lung endothelial cells as a FVIII production site in man.
