Embodiment 1

[0212] Example 1: Recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) negatively regulates inflammatory osteoclast formation in vitro

[0213] The decreased bone mineral density observed in patients with severe hemophilia A (HemA) suggests that the absence of FVIII activity and the associated bleeding episodes have profound effects on bone homeostasis.

[0214] Without being bound by any scientific theory, it is hypothesized that the proinflammatory environment in these patients may lead to monocyte / macrophage-derived osteoclast formation and subsequent exacerbated bone erosion, similar to that seen in arthritis-associated osteoporosis. incidents reported under the circumstances. The effect of rFVIII versus rFVIIIFc treatment on monocyte-derived osteoclast formation was investigated to determine whether rFVIIIFc inhibits pro-inflammatory osteoclast formation by upregulating the antioxidant NRF2 pathway.

[0215] To test this hypothesis, human monocytes were isolated from per...

Embodiment 2

[0224] Example 2: rFVIIIFc inhibits the bone resorption activity of osteoclasts in vitro

[0225] Since rFVIIIFc is able to inhibit osteoclast formation, we next examined the effect of rFVIIIFc on the bone resorption activity of osteoclasts. CD14 + Monocytes were treated on day 0 with vehicle, IgGl alone, rFVIII or rFVIIIFc alone and cultured for 3 days in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL. On day 3, monocytes were replated on bovine cortical bone slices and co-cultured in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL for 7–10 days. After a co-culture period of 7-10 days, monocyte-derived cells were removed and bone sections were examined by toluidine blue staining (Figure 6). Bone slices co-cultured with monocytes treated with vehicle (Fig. 7A), IgG1 (Fig. 7B) or rFVIII (Fig. 7C) showed clear bone resorption (Fig. 7A, Fig. 7B, Fig. 7C; circled areas), indicating that Osteoclasts derived from this treatment pool are still actively breaking down bone. Bone slices co-cultured with rFVIIIFc-...

Embodiment 3

[0228] Example 3: Effect of rFVIIIFc on gene expression and function in osteoclastogenesis

[0229] Next, we investigated whether the reduced osteoclast activity and morphology by rFVIIIFc corresponded to a reduction in osteoclast-associated genes. CD14 + Monocytes were treated on day 0 with vehicle, IgGl alone, rFVIII or rFVIIIFc alone and cultured for 7 days in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL. Cells were then harvested, RNA was extracted, and gene expression levels were quantified by quantitative real-time PCR (Figure 8). Osteoclasts were then measured in vehicle-treated (Figure 9, black bars), IgG1-treated (Figure 9, dark gray bars), rFVIII-treated (Figure 9, light gray bars) and rFVIIIFc-treated (Figure 9, white bars) cells Cell-associated genes and normalized to the expression levels of the vehicle-treated group. Markers of osteoclast differentiation (Fig. 9, RANK, NFATC1) and bone resorption activity (Fig. 9, CATK, TRAP, MMP9) were analyzed. No significant changes we...
