Abstract | Background: The recruitment of activated factor VIII (FVIII) at the surface of activated platelets is a key step toward the burst of thrombin and fibrin generation during thrombus formation at the site of vascular injury. It involves binding to phosphatidylserine and, possibly, to fibrin-bound α Objectives: To characterize the effects of FVIII-platelet interaction and its potential modulation of platelet function. Methods: FVIII was incubated with washed platelets. The effects on platelet activation (spontaneously or triggered by collagen and thrombin) were studied by flow cytometry and light transmission aggregometry. We explored the involvement of downstream pathways by studying phosphorylation profiles (Western blot). The FVIII-glycoprotein (GP) VI interaction was investigated by ELISA, confocal microscopy, and proximity ligation assay. Results: FVIII bound to the surface of resting and activated platelets in a dose-dependent manner. FVIII at supraphysiological concentrations did not induce platelet activation but rather specifically inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation and altered glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-dependent phosphorylation. FVIII, freed of its chaperone protein von Willebrand factor (VWF), interacted in close proximity with GPVI at the platelet surface. Conclusion: We showed that VWF-free FVIII binding to, or close to, GPVI modulates platelet activation in vitro. This may represent an uncharacterized negative feedback loop to control overt platelet activation. Whether locally activated FVIII concentrations achieved during platelet accumulation and thrombus formation at the site of vascular injury in vivo are compatible with such a function remains to be determined. |
