Abstract

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) contributes to factor VIII (FVIII) catabolism in vivo. Besides LRP, FVIII also interacts with very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) in vitro. We investigated the physiological role of VLDLR in FVIII catabolism, using knockout mouse models for VLDLR and LRP, alone and in combination. VLDLR(-/-) mice displayed normal plasma FVIII, whereas VLDLR(-/-) LRP(-) double-knockout mice had slightly increased FVIII compared with LRP-deficient mice. Remarkably, VLDLR deficiency slightly accelerated FVIII clearance. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of VLDLR did not lower plasma FVIII in LRP-deficient mice. We conclude that VLDLR does not act in concert with LRP in FVIII clearance in vivo.
