    Kenneth M. Brinkhous, Thomas R. Griggs, and Marjorie S . ReadWe have studied the roles of von Willebrand factor (vWF)and factor Vlll in arterial thrombosis in four canine phe-notypes: normal (n =6). hemophilia A (n =1 ), von Wil-lebrand disease (vWD) (n = S), and hemophilia A/vWD (n=1).vWF activity was determined by botrocetin-inducedagglutination of fixed human platelets and vWF antigen(vWF:Ag) by Laurel1 electroimmunoassay and crossed im-munoelectrophoresis. Plasma from normal dogs and thosewith hemophiliaA had vWF activity, vWF:Ag, and a fullrange of vWF:Ag multimers on gel electrophoresis equiv-alent to normal canine plasmapool. Platelet cytosol con-tents were isolated by freezing and thawing, triton X-100solubilization, or sonication of washed platelets with andwithout protease inhibitors and inhibitors of platelet acti-vation. Washed platelets were also stimulatedwithcalciumionophore and MgCI2. There was no measurable vWF ac-tivity or vWF:Ag inplatelet lysates or releasates nany dogregardless of phenotype.

Vessels were ex-amined by light and scanning electron microscopy. Throm-bosis developedinthe arteries of normal (9of 10) and he-mophiliaA dogs (16 of 16) but in none of the vWD dogs(0of 10). Infusion of canine vWF cryoprecipitate into vWDdogs markedly shortened bleeding time but did not supportthrombosis as seen in dogs with vWF inthe plasma andsubendothelium. Thrombosis, then, fails to occur when vWFis absent from the plasma and subendothelial compart-ments or present only in the plasma compartment.

    shear rates.25Once platelets attach to the subendothelium,vWF supports platelet spreading in If the vessel isinjured at a stenotic site, vWF is required for the developmentof occlusive throm bo~ is. ~~" 'he relative contribution of vWFin plasma, platelets, endothelium, and subendothelial matrixin platelet attachment and spreading and arterial thrombosisis only partly understood and may differ between species.vWF serves as a carrier for factor VI11 (FVIII) in plasmain humans, pigs, and dogs. This carrier function may providefor the delivery of FVIII to sites of arterial injury. Such aseries of events could both localize FVIII activity where vWFattaches to exposed subendothelium and promote thrombosis.However, a monoclonal antibody raised to purified porcinevWF, BB3-BD5, both prevents and aborts thrombosis byneutralizing vWF when infused into normal pigs but doesnot affect FVIIl activity.29These data suggest that vWF sup-ports thrombosis independent of its function as a carrier forFVIII. Studies have not been done in vivo in the absence ofFVIII to confirm this finding.The purpose of this study was to examine the relative rolesof plasma and platelet vWF and FVIII in induction of arterialthrombosis in dogs. These studies were performed on theChapel Hill strains of dogs with normal, hemophilia A , vonWillebrand disease phenotypes, and a newly developed strainof bleeder dogs with combined defects, hemophilia A/vWD.~*No platelet vWF was detected in these dogs regardless ofphenotype. Thrombosis developed in 90% of stenosed andinjured arteries in normal dogs but in none of the vWD dogseven when they were infused with vWF concentrates. Re-placementof plasma vWF by infusion, then, does not supportthrombosis in vWD dogs as seen in dogs that have vWFwithinthe plasma and subendothelium. Thus, thrombosis fails tooccur when vWF is absent from the plasma and subendo-thelial matrix or present only in the plasma compartment.Moreover, thrombosis occurred in hemophilia A dogs asreadily as in normal dogs. vWF, then, supports thrombosisindependent of its association with FVIII and when it is absent

    THROMBOSIS: CANINE vWF AND FVlll 2645from platelets. These data are consistent with the hypothesisthat vW F in the plasma and subendothelium supportsthrombosis. These data have been reported in part.33

    MATERIALS AND METHODSNormal (n=2), hemophiliaA (n= I l),vWD(n=6), and hemophilia A/vWD (n= 1) dogs came from theclosed colony at the Francis Owen Blood Research Laboratory at theUniversity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Four additional normaldogs were purchased from the Division of Laboratory Animal Med-icine, University of North Carolina. All animals were treated accordingto the standards set in Guide for the Ca re and Use of LaboratoryAnimals (National Institutes of Health publication no. 85-23). Noanimal had received blood products within 2 weeks of these studies.Dogs with hemophilia A had lessthan 1%FVIII activity but normalvWF antigen and activity levels and normal saline bleeding times.34vWD dogs had less than 1% vWF activity and vWFAg, depressedlevels of FVIII activity, and bleeding times longer than 15 minutes.The dog with combined hemophilia A/vWD had no detectable FVIIIactivity, vWF activity nor vWFAg, and bleeding time of greater than

    15 minutes. Dogs were classified as phenotypically normal if theyhad ( ) FVIII activity levels and plasma vW Factivity and vW Fantigen(vWAg) evels 260% ofthat found in normal canine pooled plasma,and (2) normal bleeding times.FVIII assays. FVIII coagulant activity was performed by a mod-ified one-stage method using a kaolin-activated MIIdeficient canineplasma substrate.35 Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) wasprepared by centrifugation of blood anticoagulated with 3.2% sodiumcitrate, pH 6.8 (1/9: vol/vol, 2,OOOg, 5 minutes). PPP was either testedimmediatelyor frozen at -70C until assayed. Platelet-rich plasma(PRP) was prepared by centrifugation of blood anticoagulated withacid-citrate-dextrose ACD: 100 mmol/L sodium citrate, 0.07 mol/L citric acid, 0.1 1 mol/L dextrose, pH 4.5, 7J42.5: vol/vol, 500g8 minutes). The platelets were washed three times by resuspensionin citrated saline (0.9% NaC1, 5 mmol/L sodium citrate, pH 6.5) andrepeat centrifugation. n some experiments, PRP was prepared fromblood anticoagulatedwith EDTA (20 mmol/L) containing leupeptin(10 pmol/L) and prostaglandin E-1 (PGE-I) (50 ng/mL). In theseexperiments, the platelets were washed in citrated saline containingEDTA, leupeptin, and PGE-I at the same concentrations as above.Platelet lysates were prepared by three different methods. First,washed platelets were frozen and thawed three times. Second washedplatelets were solubilized by the addition of 20% triton X-100.'5.36Third, washed platelets were disrupted by sonication (Branson SonifierCell Disrupter 200, Danbury, CT).With all three techniques, theplatelet debris was separated from the lysate by centrifugation (2,000g.10 minutes, 23C). Some lysates were prepared in the presence ofprotease inhibitors and inhibitors of platelet activation (ACD withaprotinin400KIU/mL and 300 mmol/L PGE- I or EDTA, leupeptin,and PGE-1 at the concentrations stated above). Normal pig and hu-man platelets were used as positive controls for these methods.In some experiments, washed canine platelets were stimulated toundergo release by the addition of calcium ionophore (A23187, 1rmol/L and 100 nmol/L) and MgCl, (0.02 mol/L). The stimulatedplatelets were removed by centrifugation (2,00Og, 10minutes, 23C)and the supernatant was assayed for vWF activity and antigen.Aliquots of the washed platelets were ked in glutaraldehyde beforeand just after producing platelet lysatesor releasates for examinationby transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to confirm platelet dis-ruption or degran~lation.~~Plasma, platelet lysates, and platelet releasates were assayed forvWF activity using the macroscopic tap tube procedure with botro-cetin and paraformaldehyde-fixed, lyophilized human platelets.374

    Plasma and platelet v WF assays.

    Fixed human platelets are the standard platelet reagent for vWF assayin our laboratory. We have obtained comparable results with fixedhuman or fixed canine platelets in this assay." Appropriate dilutionswere done to exclude an inhibitor of vWF activity. vWFAg wasassayed by Laurel1 electroimmunoassay?' The vWFAg multimeranalysis was performed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electro-phoresis as described." The dry gels were scannedby laser densitom-etry for the distribution of vW F multimers with the LKB UltroscanXL (Pharmacia LKB, Piscataway, NJ). Crossed immunoelectropho-resis (CIE) of plasma and platelet lysates was performed on 1%agarosegels with and without denaturing agent^.'^^^^Rabbit anti-caninev WF antibody. A rabbit anti-canine polyclonalantibody was raisedagainst canine vWF by the method of Lamb etal." Canine cryoprecipitate from the plasma of hemophilia A dogswas chromatographedon 4% agarose (Biogel A- 15m, 200-400 mesh;Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA). The void volume fractionswere pooled and used as antigen for immunizations. The antiserumwas made monospecific for vWF by adsorption of 1 vol of antiserumwith cryoprecipitate from 2 vol of plasma from a dog homozygousfor vWD. This monospecific antibody did not inhibit canine FVIIIactivity (data not shown) and was used to detect vWFAg in all assaysand to stain gels. Canine fibronectin wasmeasured in platelet lysates, platelet releasates, and PPP by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a polyclonal rabbit anti-canine antibody.43Fibronectin in the platelet lysates and releasateswas used as a control for recovery of platelet a-granule contents.Bleeding time . Saline ear bleeding times were performed on all

    Arterial stenosis and injury procedure: Animal preparation, his-tologic studies, and vessel morphometry. The stenosis and injuryprocedure was performed under general anesthesia and with physi-ologic monitoring as This model was modified fromthat reported by Folts and U ~ h i d a . 4 ~ ~ ~ ~riefly, general anesthesiawa smaintained with halothane (1% o 3%) from a vaporizer (FluomaticVaporizer, Foregger, Smithtown,NY). he vaporizer was periodicallychecked for calibration by a Type 18 Riken Gas Analyzer (A.M.Bickford, Wale City, NY).Stenosisand injury were then applied to one or both ofthe carotidarteries and/or a coronary artery (left circumflex or left anterior de-scending) with a Goldblatt clamp. Thrombosis was detected by cyclicflow reductions in arterial blood flow velocity (Doppler, 20 MHz)following stenosis and injury. After each dog was killed with an over-dose of pentobarbital, the heart was pressure perfused and placed infixatives with the carotid arteries. The degree of arterial stenosis andinjury was determined by computer-assisted planimetry of light mi-croscope arterial cross sections (Ziess Videoplan). Coronary and ca-rotid arterial injury was assessed by the amount of smooth musclecell damage and disruption of the internal elastic Thepresence or absence of thrombosis was also determined from ex-amination of arterial sections with light microscopy.Cryoprecipitate containingvWFbut lackingFVIII (FVIIIdeficient cryoprecipitate) was prepared fromPPP of hemophilia A dogs?7 The cryoprecipitate was stored at -70Cand dissolved in a minimal volume of 0.9% NaCl just before infusion.Fresh normal canine PPP was prepared for infusion into one vWDdog. v W F activity, antigen concentration,and multimeric distributionwere determined for each infusate. One unit of vWF activity is definedas that equal to the amount present in 1 mL of normal canine pooledplasma.The products were infused over approximately 60 minutes afterthe surgical preparation had been completed and all baseline sampleshad been obtained but before the stenosis and injury procedure. Fol-lowing vWF product infusion, the stenosis and injury procedure was

Dilution studies failed to detect a ninhibitor of vW F activity in canine platelets. In addition, noprecipitin arc was seen on CIE of the platelet lysates of anycanine phenotype (data not show n). This finding was in con-trast to the precipitin arc detected on CIE of plasmas fromnormal dogs and hemophilia A dogs that was comparable tothat found in norm al canine pooled plasma (data not show n).Platelet lysates prepared by these methods from normal pigand huma n platelets contained normal am ounts of vW F ac-tivity and antigen and a normal distribution of multimers( da ta n ot ~h o w n ) .~ ' .~ 'Com plete disruption of platelets by each method (ie, freez-ing and thawing, Triton X-100, and sonication) was con-firmed by transmission electron micrograph (TEM ). Plateletdegranulation following stimulation with MgC12 and twoconcentrations of A23 187 was confirmed by TEM taken be-fore and after stimulation (data not shown). Finally, therewas no detectable vW F functionally or antigenically in anyof the platelet washes before stimulation or disruption.The platelet lysates and releasates from all proceduresyielded detectable fibronectin with an average of 5.2 k 1.3pg/mL X 10" platelets. These data suggest that platelet a-granule co ntents w ere successfully released and recovered bythese physical and chemical methods. Th e incidence ofthrombosis in the four canine phenotypes is listed on T able1.Ten of 1 1 arteries (6 coronary, 5 ca rotid) tested in 6 norm aldogs developed cyclic flow reductions (CFR) indicatingthrombosis was induced by stenosis and injury. In addition,CFR occurred in all 16 arteries (5 coronary, 11 carotid) testedin 1 1 hemophilia A dogs (Fig 2). In contrast, no CFRs weredetected in any of 10 arteries (2 coronary, 8 carotid) in sixvWD dogs (Fig 2). We have previously found that the inci-dence of thrombosis in these two arteries relative to the pres-ence or absence of vWF is eq~ iva len t,~ 'nd all dogs in thispresent study with assessment for both carotid and coronaryarteries had the same outcome. This finding has allowed thegrouping of the two circulations for statistical analysis. Thedifference between the incid ence of thrombosis betw een phe-notypes in the present study is significant ( P

    Subjects with hemophilia A lack FVIII and have seriousimpairment of thrombin generation. Because human arterialthrombi are rich in fibrin in addition to platelets, arterialthrombosis occumng in the presence of vWF without FVIIImay seem paradoxical. However, it has been observed thathuman patients with severe hemophilia A are not protectedfrom myocardial infarction or thrombosis complicating aorticatheroscler~sis.~~n both humans and dogs, then, vWF sup-ports arterial thrombosis independent of its association withFVIII.

    The mechanism by which vWF supports arterial throm-bosis in dogs may involve vWF in two compartments: plasmavWF and exposed subendothelial matrix vWF. This hypoth-

    esis is supported by the finding that infused plasma vWF failsto support thrombosis in the vWD dogs with vWF-deficientsubendothelial matrix (Table 1) . Infusion of FVIII-deficientcryoprecipitate into vWD dogs provided plasma vWF witha full range of multimers that was readily detectable func-tionally and antigenically but would not have replaced sub-endothelial vWF. In dogs, then, vWF in the subendothelialmatrix may be needed to support thrombosis in addition toplasma vWF. Studies in vWD pigs have also shown thatplasma vWF alone is insufficient to support arterial throm-bosis, whereas the combination of plasma and platelet vWFdoes support thrombosis.**.29. n vWD pigs, then, plateletvWF may interact with plasma vWF in the formation of

    thrombosis at sites of arterial stenosis and injury in the ab-sence of subendothelial matrix vWF. Plasma vWF is thecommon denominator in a two-compartment model of vWF-dependent arterial thrombosis in these two vWF-deficientspecies: plasma and subendothelial matrix vW F in vWD dogsand plasma and platelet vW F in vWD pigs. C onsidered to-gether, these data support the hypothesis that plasma vWFmay activate, be activated by, or function as a cofactor tovWF in another compartment to support arterial thrombosis.Bleeding time shortening following vWF infusion appearsto differ among vW F-deficient species. Infusion of vWF co n-centrates largely corrected bleeding times in vWD dogs inthis study but has failed to do so in vWD pig^.*^,^' This dif-ference in bleeding time response to vW F infusion betweenvWD pigs and dogs was observed even with plasma vWFactivity levels g reater than 100% n both species. In hu ma nswith vW D, a divergence also has been noted between bleedingtime and vW F activity following vW F infusion.54 t appearsin humans with type I11 (severe homozygous) vWD that re-placement of plasma and platelet vW F are required to nor-malize the bleeding time, w hereas plasma v W F alone is in-~ u f f i c i e n t . ~ " ~ ~ur c urrent study in dogs considered with thoseperformed in pigs and hu ma ns suggests there may be speciesdifferences in the bleeding time shortening in vWF -deficientsubjects.Several possibilities could e xplain these species differencesin bleeding time shortening. Clearly, the variability in vWFcompartmentalization among dogs, pigs, and hu mans couldaffect this test. It also is possible that plasma vWF in dogscorrects prolonged bleeding time by a mechanism tha t differsfrom that by which it supports thrombosis. This hypothesisis supported by the observation that infusion of vWF sup portsvWF-dependent bleeding time correction without supportingvWF-dependent arterial thrombosis. A lternatively, cryopre-cipitation may concentrate other plasma constituents thatcould shorten the bleeding time in dogs independent of vWF.In addition, there may be changes in the molecular confor-mation of vWF induced by plasma harvesting or cryoprecip-itation that would shorten bleeding time but not sup port ar-terial thrombosis. Th is hypothesis is supported by a notherreport from o ur laboratory that docum ented a difference inthe half-life of FVIII complexed with endogenous and ex-ogenous vW F.'~Regardless of the m echanism, bleeding timeshortening by plasma v W F in the absence of platelet or sub-endothelial matrix vW F in vW D dogs suggests that plasmavWF is the main determinant of the bleeding time in thisspecies.Other investigators have noted that occasionally mongreldogs fail to develop thrombosis in this stenosis and injuryThree such dogs had a vW F antigen of 92% k 11%;however, the administration of deamino-8-D-argenine va-sopressin (DDA VP), produced a rise in vWF antigen to 133%f 12% that was accompanied by cyclic flow reductions. Noother data on vW F were given in th at abstract.Other studies that have exam ined canine platelets for vW Fantigen have yielded variable results, both the presence andabsen ce o f p la te le t V W F . ~ , ~ , ' ~ , ' ~latelet v W F activity was notreported in these studies. In the present stu dy, we used severalphysical and chem ical procedures to isolate platelet vWF from

    PRP in several anticoagulant regimens. These procedureswere successfully used to isolate porcine a nd hum an plateletvWF. For this study, we developed a rabbit anti-canine vW Fantibody that was raised against v W F rom a dog with he-mophilia A and rendered monospecific by adsorption withcanine vW D cryoprecipitate. This antibody readily detectedvW F antigen in can ine plasma bu t not platelet lysates. Thesefindings are in agreement with those of Potter et al, who usedrabbit anti-canine v W F antibod ies7 There are two reportsthat identified small amou nts of vWF antigen in the plateletsof mongrel dogs. In the first study, anti-human and anti-canine antibodies were used th at had been rendered m ono-specific by adsorption with hu ma n but not canine vW Dp 1 a ~ m a . I ~his anti-human vW F antibody was shown to bemonospecific for hum an bu t not canine v W F by a rocketinhibition method against commercial anti-huma n v W F an-tisera.60 n the second study, an anti-human vW F antibodyfrom a commercial source was used.I5 No antibody charac-terization data were given in that study. It is possible thatthese anti-human vWF antibodies that were not renderedmonospecific by adsorption with canine plasma or cryopre-cipitate may have recognized epitopes other than canine vW Fin canine platelets. It may also be that some breeds of dogsfail to express vW F in their platelets, whereas others expresssmall amounts. We used dogs primarily from t he closed col-ony of inbred dogs, thus providing homogeneous groups ofnormal, hemophilia A, and vW D. Th e source of normal ca-nine platelets was mongrel dogs in th e studies that detectedplatelet vW F antigen. Dogs, like human s, may have discor-dance in the expression of platelet and plasma vW F . '~ , '~Halothane was used by itself for anesthesia in this study.This agent has been successfully used in studies of vW F ina rte ria l t h r o m b o ~ i s . * ~ - ~ ~ther investigators have shown th athalothane in combination with thiamyl interrupted cyclicthrombo sis in this model.'' It may be tha t the antiplateleteffect of barbiturates on platelets accounts for the apparentdiscrepancy between our report and that of Bertha et al.6'Our findings corroborate those of Barr et al., who found thathalothane did not induce an antiplatelet effect in dogs.62Our study has shown that when vWF is absent, arterialthrombosis does not occur in this model. An interesting al-ternative hypothesis for the protection from thromb osis af-forded by vW D in dogs could be a concomitant lack of othe rendothelial cell products suc h as issue plasminogen activator.Such a combination of defects has been documented in hu-m a n ~ . ~ ~o confirm such a possibility would require char-acterization of the plasminogen activator response in ourvW D dogs. This possibility will require further inves tigation.vWF supports platelet adhesion, platelet spreading, andarterial thrombosis in several species. The contribution ofvW F within plasma, endothelial cells, subendothelial matrix,and platelets to each of these processes is complex. Th e dif-ference in expression of vW F by canine and porcine endo-thelium and platelets suggests that these two an ima l speciescan be used to explore differences in the function of vW F inits various compartments. Also, agents designed to preventor treat thrombosis or hemorrhage by modifying vW F inplasma or platelets could be tested for differential results inthese two species.
