However, a small fraction of rhFVIIa that entered extravascular remained functionally active for an extended period. The present study aims to investigate the dose-dependency of rhFVIIa accumulation and retention in mouse knee joints and test whether the hemophilic condition affects rhFVIIa sequestration in joints. Wild-type and FVIII\u2212\/\u2212 mice were injected with three doses of rhFVIIa (eptacog beta, 90, 250, and 500 \u03bcg\/kg) via the tail vein. At varying times following rhFVIIa administration, blood and knee joints were collected to measure FVIIa activity and antigen levels in plasma and joint tissues. Joint tissue sections were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for the presence of rhFVIIa. Vascular permeability was assessed by either Evans Blue dye or fluorescein dextran extravasation. The study showed that rhFVIIa accumulated in knee joints of wild-type and FVIII\u2212\/\u2212 mice in a dose-dependent manner. rhFVIIa antigen and FVIIa activity could be detectable in joints for at least 7 days. Significantly higher levels of rhFVIIa accumulation were observed in knee joints of FVIII\u2212\/\u2212 mice compared with that of wild-type mice. Immunohistochemical analyses confirmed higher levels of rhFVIIa retention in FVIII\u2212\/\u2212 mice compared with wild-type mice. Additional studies showed that FVIII\u2212\/\u2212 mice were more permissible to vascular leakage. In conclusion, the present data demonstrate a dose-dependent accumulation of rhFVIIa in knee joints, and the hemophilic condition enhances the entry of rhFVIIa from circulation to the extravascular. The present data will be useful in improving rhFVIIa prophylaxis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-1688907","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,26]],"date-time":"2019-05-26T18:40:10Z","timestamp":1558896010000},"page":"1283-1294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Increased Accumulation and Retention of rhFVIIa (eptacog beta) in Knee Joints of Hemophilia A Mice Compared to Wild-Type Mice"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Jhansi","family":"Magisetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, Tyler, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Usha R.","family":"Pendurthi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, Tyler, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SubbaRao V.","family":"Madhunapantula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Excellence in Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry, JSS Medical College, JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, Mysuru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7005-7852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jerry","family":"Grandoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LFB USA, Framingham, Massachusetts, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.
