Abstract
During the last two decades, significant advances have been made in the understanding of atherosclerotic disease. The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis appears to depend on a precise sequence of critical events based on the interaction of blood elements and lipids with the arterial wall. The major critical events and their sequence appears to be as follows: hemodynamic stress and endothelial injury; arterial wall-platelet interaction; smooth muscle cell proliferation; lipid entry and accumulation; significant arterial narrowing with fibrosis and development of thrombi; and complications in the form of calcification, ulceration, aneurysm, acute thrombotic occlusion and embolization. This sequence of critical events starts at a young age and in all geographic racial groups. Their evolution into advanced symptomatic lesions takes many years and varies in incidence and extent among different geographic and ethnic groups. It appears that in promoting and accelerating this process into the advanced stage of the disease, the presence at a young age of the so-called risk factors of atherosclerotic disease is most important. The recent advances in the understanding of the atherosclerotic process will be highlighted in this chapter with particular attention being focused on the role of platelets and thrombosis in the development of the disease and the possible role of platelet inhibitor drugs on the prevention of coronary atherosclerotic disease.

Abstract
The von Willebrand factor (vWF) mediates platelet adhesion to the vascular subendothelium by binding to collagen, other matrix constituents, and the platelet receptor glycoproteins Ib/IX and IIb/IIIa. Although substantial progress has been made in defining vWF structure-function relationships, there are conflicting data regarding the location of its collagen-binding site(s). Possible collagen-binding sites have been localized in the A1 and A3 domains of vWF. To study the proposed binding sites, we have expressed cDNA sequences encoding the A1 and A3 domains of vWF in Escherichia coli and purified the resulting proteins from bacterial inclusion bodies. In addition, a chimeric molecule containing residues 465-598 of the vWF A1 domain polypeptide (vWF-A1) fused in frame to residues 1018-1114 of the vWF A3 domain polypeptide (vWF-A3) was also expressed. Each of the three recombinant proteins purified as a monomer and contained a single disulfide bond. As previously reported (Cruz, M. A., Handin, R. I., and Wise, R. J. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 21238-21245), recombinant vWF-A1 inhibited ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination, but did not compete with vWF multimers for collagen binding. In contrast, vWF-A3 inhibited the binding of multimeric vWF to immobilized collagen, but did not inhibit ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination. Metabolically labeled vWF-A3 bound to immobilized collagen in a saturable and reversible manner with a Kd of 1.8 x 10(-6) M. The vWF-A1/A3 chimera was bifunctional. It inhibited vWF binding to platelet glycoprotein Ib/IX with an IC50 of 0.6 x 10(-6) M and inhibited vWF binding to collagen with an IC50 of 0.5-1.0 x 10(-6) M. These results, taken together, provide firm evidence that the major collagen-binding site in vWF resides in the A3 domain.

Abstract
We have analyzed the interaction of the adhesive glycoprotein, von Willebrand factor (vWF), with native monomeric collagen monolayers by adsorbing acid soluble Types I and III collagen derived from calf skin to polystyrene microtiter wells and incubating the wells with purified human 125I-vWF. The binding of 125I-vWF was saturable, reversible, specific, and was abolished by heat denaturation of the collagen monomers. Binding was half-maximal at 5 micrograms/ml, and, at saturation, 7.5 ng 125I-vWF were bound to each microgram of immobilized collagen. 125I-vWF did not bind to wells coated with other extracellular matrix or plasma proteins such as fibronectin, fibrinogen, gelatin, or the q subunit of the first component of complement (C1q). In addition, bound 125I-vWF could not be displaced from collagen by the addition of either fibronectin or fibrinogen. After incubation with Factor XIIIa, plasma transglutaminase, 125I-vWF bound to collagen could no longer be displaced by vWF, which suggests covalent cross-linking of vWF to collagen monomers. Factor XIIIa-dependent covalent cross-linking of vWF to collagen, but not to fibronectin or laminin, was also demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Abstract
von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a large, multimeric glycoprotein that helps platelets adhere to vascular subendothelium. Although vWF binding to platelet receptors and connective tissue constituents is of fundamental importance in adhesion, there is little information regarding the nature of these vWF binding sites. In this paper, we have compared the structural requirements for vWF binding with platelet glycoprotein Ib (GpIb), heparin, and collagen and have shown that fragments derived from large vWF multimers retain biologic activity. We have shown that a 440,000-D subunit produced by disulfide reduction and alkylation of vWF polymer binds to platelet GpIb. When analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Sepharose CL6B chromatography, the 440,000-D vWF oligomer is a dimer of the 220,000 subunit of fully reduced native vWF. This vWF dimer competes with 125I-vWF for binding to GpIb with an IC50 of 100 micrograms/ml (227 nM). The GpIb binding domain on vWF was further localized by digestion of native vWF polymers with Staphylococcal V8 protease. A 285,000-D fragment of vWF multimer was separated from heterogeneous 210,000-225,000-D fragments by its ability to bind to heparin. The 285,000-D fragment that bound to heparin Sepharose was composed of two disulfide-linked 175,000- and 115,000-D polypeptides. The heterogeneous fragments contained disulfide-linked 96,000, 66,000, and 53,000-D polypeptides when analyzed on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 285,000-D fragment competed with 125I-vWF for binding to GpIb with an IC50 of 22 micrograms/ml (77 nM), while the other fragments did not compete for binding. Neither the vWF dimer nor the proteolytic fragments competed with native 125I-vWF polymer for binding to collagen.

Abstract
The factor VIII complex consists of two noncovalently linked proteins: von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII). VWF plays an important role in primary hemostasis by mediating the adherence of blood platelets to the damaged vessel wall. A review of the literature on VWF is given with regard to its physicochemical properties and mode of action. FVIII acts as a cofactor in the factor Xa-generating enzyme complex of the intrinsic coagulation cascade. Starting with the recently published primary structure of FVIII, the literature is reviewed for structural information on FVIII. Also, an effort is made to characterize the interaction of FVIII with VWF and to discuss the possible physiological significance of FVIII-VWF complex formation. Interaction of FVIII with the clotting factors of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation is described in detail. Hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease (VWD) are both congenital bleeding disorders affecting a great many people. The different variants of these diseases are described with some reference to therapy and detection.

Abstract
The blood protein Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (FVIII/VWF) has been shown to bind to a variety of collagen polymers including (i), the native-type fibres (of collagens types I and III), (ii), segment-long-spacing (SLS) aggregates (of collagens types I, III, IV and V), (iii), the insoluble polymer obtained by random cross-linking of the type I monomer and (iv), the non-striated fibril (of type I) produced by alcohol precipitation. Relatively little binding of FVIII/VWF to the amorphous, non-fibrillar form of collagen (type I) produced by salt precipitation from acid solution was observed. No significant binding either to elastin or to the insoluble polymer derived by random cross-linking of bovine serum albumin was noted. The absorption of FVIII/VWF to collagens was affected by ionic concentration and FVIII/VWF was only totally bound at relatively low ionic strength. Binding of radiolabelled FVIII/VWF could be largely inhibited by an excess of the unlabelled protein. The interaction of FVIII/VWF with collagen fibres was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by monomeric collagen when present at relatively high concentrations. Gelatin did not appear to inhibit binding significantly. The structural requirements of collagen for binding to occur appear to resemble those required for collagen-induced platelet aggregation in which collagen quaternary structure rather than collagen type per se is the important factor. Loss of secondary or higher orders of structure of FVIII/VWF as a result of heat denaturation or reduction of disulphide bonds decreased or prevented binding. In accord with the association of biological activity with FVIII/VWF aggregates, optimal binding appeared to require the presence of aggregated FVIII/VWF.

Abstract
In a long-term prospective study, five normal control pigs and five pigs with homozygous von Willebrand's disease received a nonfatty diet from age 3 months to 4 years; then the aortas were analyzed. The fibrous arteriosclerotic plaques in the distal abdominal aortic region involved an average of 28% of the surface area in control pigs and only 7% of the surface area in pigs with von Willebrand's disease (P less than 0.01). In a subsequent study of 3-month-old pigs, the distal abdominal aortic segments from nine normal pigs were cross-transplanted with segments from nine other normal pigs (control study), and aortic segments from four normal pigs were transplanted into four host pigs with von Willebrand's disease (exchange study). All pigs received a 2% cholesterol diet for up to 6 months; then the transplanted aortic segments were analyzed. The donor normal aortic segments in the host normal pigs developed arteriosclerosis that involved an average of 20% of the surface; the endothelial fluorescent pattern of von Willebrand factor was identified. In contrast, the donor normal aortic segments in the host pigs with von Willebrand's disease had arteriosclerosis that involved an average of only 4% of the surface (P less than 0.01); the endothelial cell von Willebrand factor was not identified. The long-term prospective study indicates that pigs with von Willebrand's disease are resistant to the development of spontaneous arteriosclerosis. The aortic transplantation data are compatible with the hypothesis that the absence of von Willebrand factor in pigs with von Willebrand's disease may cause impairment of platelet-arterial wall interaction and resistance to arteriosclerosis.

Abstract
Culture-produced normal and von Willebrand (vWd) porcine aortic subendothelium (SE) was prepared on glass and fibronectin (FN)-coated surfaces. Washed porcine platelets reacted extensively with normal SE (on glass) as single adherent non-spread and spread (5%) platelets, whereas vWd SE (on glass)-platelet interaction was decreased with no spreading. Normal porcine plasma increased normal SE-platelet interaction 3 to 5-fold and spreading 5-fold (20-30%); vWd SE-platelet interaction was increased 2 to 4-fold with no spreading. vWd porcine plasma did not affect normal or vWd SE-platelet interaction or spreading. Purified porcine F.VIIIR:WF (0.5-2 U/ml) increased both normal and vWd SE-platelet interaction 2 to 4-fold without increasing spreading. Purified human FN (50-200 micrograms/ml) did not increase normal of vWd SE-platelet interaction but increased spreading 5 to 7-fold (25-35%) with normal SE. F.VIIIR:WF (2 U/ml) plus FN (200 micrograms/ml) increased normal SE-platelet interaction 4 to 5-fold and spreading 8 to 9-fold (41%) with extensive SE-associated microaggregate formation; vWd SE-platelet interaction was increased about 6-fold with no spreading. Platelets reacted more extensively with normal and vWd SE prepared on FN-coated surfaces than SE on glass. Normal SE (on FN)-platelet interaction increased 6 to 7-fold and spreading 12-fold (60%); vWd SE (on FN)-platelet interaction increased about 110-fold with about 10% spreading. Plasma (normal and vWd), and F.VIIIR:WF did not significantly increase normal or Vwd SE (on FN)-platelet interaction or spreading. Results suggest a possible role for FN as a spreading factor in SE-platelet interactions.

Abstract
Von Willebrand factor is adsorbed from plasma by fibrillar collagen in a manner which is dependent upon the time of incubation and collagen concentration. The adsorption does not require divalent cations and is temperature independent. As purified von Willebrand factor is also adsorbed by fibrillar collagen it is unlikely that the adsorption is mediated by other plasma proteins. Denatured collagen has no effect on von Willebrand factor activity and does not inherit the adsorption of the factor by native fibrillar collagen. The adsorbed von Willebrand factor can be eluted from fibrillar collagen with 1M NaCl. The similarities between the adhesion of platelets to collagen and the adsorption of von Willebrand factor by collagen suggest that von Willebrand factor may have a role in collagen-platelet adhesion. The observed inhibition of platelet adhesion to collagen by antiserum to von Willebrand factor is consistent with this hypothesis.

Abstract
Endothelial cells from different tissues display variations in morphology, intercellular junctions, cell surface and growth properties, and in production of basal lamina components, both in vivo and in vitro. We have investigated the spectra of extracellular proteins secreted by bovine endothelial cells cultured from large vessels, cornea, and capillaries. Aortic, venous, and corneal endothelial cells displayed highly similar patterns of protein synthesis as judged by analysis of the culture medium; the major products were fibronectin, a glycoprotein similar or identical to platelet thrombospondin, and Type III procollagen. Ion-exchange chromatography, followed by peptide mapping, confirmed the presence of EC, a novel endothelial collagen previously described in bovine aortic endothelial cell cultures. Minor variations were found in the collagens of the cell layers: Type III, the predominant interstitial collagen, was associated with the basement membrane Types IV and V and, in the case of corneal endothelium, with Type I. In contrast, capillary endothelial cells secreted significantly more collagen than did the aortic, venous, and corneal cells. Approximately 50% of the protein in the culture medium was collagenous and consisted of Types I and III collagen in a ratio of 2:3. These interstitial collagens were the only types detected in capillary cell layers as well. The pattern and overall rate of collagen synthesis by capillary endothelial cells in vitro contrasted significantly with that of the other endothelial cell types and closely resembled that described for cultures of sprouting endothelium. These alterations in secretory phenotype may reflect: 1) a true difference in cell type between capillary and other types of endothelium, 2) differences resulting from cell isolation and initial culture conditions, or 3) a correlation between growth regulation and protein synthesis.

Abstract
In Glanzmann's thrombasthenia glycoproteins IIb and IIIa are missing or strongly reduced and aggregation to ADP, collagen and thrombin is impaired. Antibodies against glycoproteins IIb and IIIa did not entirely induce a thrombasthenia-like state in normal platelets. However, they did strongly inhibit collagen-induced aggregation and inhibited the second wave of aggregation induced by ADP. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis studies using Triton X-100 extracts of whole platelets with these antibodies gave a single immunoprecipitate. This immunoprecipitate was absent when similar studies were carried out with thrombasthenic platelets. Platelet antibodies gave a number of immunoprecipitates with normal platelets and differences were observed with thrombasthenic platelets, the most notable of which was a marked reduction in one of the major immunoprecipitates. These results provide further evidence that glycoproteins IIb and IIIa are involved in the latter stages of platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Human Factor VIII desialylated by treatment with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (ASVIII) aggregated human platelets in the absence of ristocetin in platelet-rich plasma and, to a lesser extent, in washed platelet suspensions. Aggregation is accompanied by thromboxane formation and is completely inhibited by EDTA. Aspirin blocks the second phase of aggregation and abolishes thromboxane production. Subaggregating doses of ASVIII and of either ADP, epinephrine, or collagen produce prompt and complete platelet aggregation. Bernard-Soulier syndrome platelets either did not aggregate with ASVIII (Two cases) or showed markedly decreased aggregation (one cases). Factor VIII complex was prepared from the plasma of two patients with variant von Willebrand's disease (sialic acid content 142 and 75 nmol/mg, respectively); neither protein generated platelet-aggregating activity upon desialylation. [3H]ASVIII binds rapidly to platelets and 37 degrees C, while tritiated, fully sialylated factor VIII binds to a negligible extent. As little as 1--2 micrograms ASVIII bound/10(9) platelets is capable of inducing platelet aggregation. ASVIII may be a useful tool for investigating platelet-Factor VIII interactions in the absence of ristocetin. Furthermore, desialylated Factor VIII might play a physiologic role in Factor VIII-mediated platelet reactions in vivo.

Abstract
Several collagen types have been isolated and characterized from bovine aortic endothelial cells and their associated extracellular matrix. Two collagens, which comigrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with the alpha 1(III), alpha 1(V), and alpha 2(V) collagen chains, were isolated by salt precipitation from pepsin digests of cell layer proteins. Two of these chains were further purified by molecular-sieve and ion-exchange chromatography and were identified as alpha 1(III) and alpha 1(V) by one-dimensional peptide maps generated with mast cell protease and cyanogen bromide. In contrast to type III collagen, which was found in both the culture medium and cell layer, type V collagen appeared to be restricted to the cell layer. In addition to their occurrence as cell layer constituents, both types III and V collagens were localized to an extracellular matrix after the cells had been removed from the culture dishes by detergent. Preliminary studies based on peptide maps comparing type III collagen from the cell layer and culture medium provide evidence for structural heterogeneity within this collagen type.
