Background Endothelial and complement activation were both associated with immunothrombosis, a key determinant of COVID-19 severity, but their interrelation has not yet been investigated.

ADAMTS13 specifically cleaves the multimeric von Willebrand factor (VWF), and an imbalance between ADAMTS13 activity (ADAMTS13:AC) and VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) levels is associated with the severity of liver cirrhosis (LC).

Role of ADAMTS13, VWF and F8 genes in deep vein thrombosis.
BackgroundWe previously described the association between rare ADAMTS13 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Moreover, DVT patients with at least one rare ADAMTS13 SNV had a lower ADAMTS13 activity than non-carriers.AimsTo ...

Evidence of protective effects of recombinant ADAMTS13 in a humanized model of sickle cell disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited red blood cell disorder that occurs worldwide. Acute vaso-occlusive crisis is the main cause of hospitalization in patients with SCD.

ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloprotease with the primary function of cleaving VWF to maintain hemostasis. Circulating ADAMTS13 is in the closed conformation until blood vessel injury triggers a VWF-dependant activation to the open active form of the protein.

ADAMTS13 conformations and mechanism of inhibition in immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
ADAMTS13, a plasma metalloprotease that cleaves von Willebrand factor, is crucial for normal hemostasis. Acquired autoantibody‐mediated deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 results in a potentially fatal blood disorder, immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic ...

Key Points ADAMTS13 sSNVs affect mRNA thermodynamic stability and may disturb mRNA-splicing sites. Synonymous variations may affect ADAMTS13 function and contribute to large variability in protein expression levels in healthy individuals.

ADAMTS13 regulation of VWF multimer distribution in severe COVID‐19
Consistent with fulminant endothelial cell activation, elevated plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) antigen levels have been reported in patients with COVID‐19.

Phenotypic expression of ADAMTS13 in glomerular endothelial cells.
BackgroundADAMTS13 is the physiological von Willebrand factor (VWF)-cleaving protease. The aim of this study was to examine ADAMTS13 expression in kidneys from ADAMTS13 wild-type (Adamts13⁺/⁺) and deficient (Adamts13⁻/⁻) mice and to investigate the ...

Diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening disease, disease, characterised by microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia, consumption thrombocytopenia, and organ dysfunction.
