[摘要]：Recombinant FVIII formulated in PEGylated liposomes (rFVIII-PEG-Lip) was reported to increase the bleed-free days from 7 to 13 days (at 35 IU/kg rFVIII) in severe hemophilia A patients. To understand the underlying mechanism, we sought to recapitulate its efficacy in hemophilia A mice. Animals treated with rFVIII-PEG-Lip achieved approximately 30% higher survival relative to rFVIII after tail vein transection inflicted 24 hours after dosing. The efficacy of rFVIII-PEG-Lip represents an approximately 2.5-fold higher "apparent" FVIII activity, which is not accounted for by its modestly increased (13%) half-life. The enhanced efficacy requires complex formation between rFVIII and PEG-Lip before the administration. Furthermore, PEG-Lip associates with the majority of platelets and monocytes in vivo, and results in increased P-selectin surface expression on platelets in response to collagen. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) analysis of whole blood from rFVIII-PEG-Lip-treated animals at 5 minutes up to 72 hours after dosing recapitulated the 2- to 3-fold higher apparent FVIII activity. The enhanced procoagulant activity is fully retained in plasma unless microparticles are removed by ultracentrifugation. Taken together, the efficacy of rFVIII-PEG-Lip is mediated mainly by its sensitization of platelets and the generation of procoagulant microparticles that may express sustained high-affinity receptors for FVIII.
