      Appa, Rupa Shree; Øie, Cristina Ionica; Brodin, Ellen; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Smedsrød, Bård (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2010)
      We here report on a study carried out to determine the early clearance kinetics, and organ, cell(s) and receptor(s) responsible for the clearance of full length TFPI purified from BHK cells (TFPI<sup>BHK</sup>). Following intravenous administration, <sup>125</sup>I-TFPI<sup>BHK</sup> was cleared with a biphasic elimination curve, and with a significantly slower t<sub>1/2</sub>α compared to recombinant ...

      Background: Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) plays an important role for the anticoagulant effect of heparin. Depletion of intravascular TFPI by treatment with unfractionated heparin (UFH), and not by low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), has been suggested to explain the superiority of LMWH in treatment of both arterial and venous thrombosis. The present study was undertaken to investigate ...
    • High-affinity von Willebrand factor binding does not affect the anatomical or hepatocellular distribution of factor VIII in rats

      Background: Von Willebrand factor (VWF) stabilizes factor VIII in the circulation and prevents its premature clearance.<p><p> Objective: To study the effects of VWF on FVIII clearance in rats with endogenous VWF.<p><p> Methods: Anatomical and hepatocellular distribution studies were performed in rats following intravenous administration of glycoiodinated recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) and a ...
    • Rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) express functional low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1) 

      Øie, Cristina Ionica; Appa, Rupa Shree; Hilden, Ida; Petersen, Helle Heibroch; Gruhler, Albrecht; Smedsrød, Bård; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1) is a large, multifunctional endocytic receptor from the LDL receptor family, highly expressed in liver parenchymal cells (PCs), neurons, activated astrocytes, and fibroblasts. The aim of the study was to investigate if liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), highly specialized scavenger cells, express LRP-1. To address this question, ...
