The Effect of IL-6-Primed Platelets on ADAMTS13-Mediated Clearance of Platelet-Bearing ULVWF and Its Mechanism

open access: yes, 2021
Inflammation is an essential contributing factor in the development of thrombosis. Using a microfluidic flow chamber, we investigated how the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) affects the cleavage of platelet-bearing ultra-large VWF (ULVWF)

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Revisited: Upshaw Schulman Syndrome in a 20-Year-Old Male [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Case Report A 20-year-old male with no significant past medical history presented to an outside hospital with a two-week history of progressive fatigue, malaise and decreased appetite. Prior to these events, he had been in his usual state of health with

Detection of Plasma Protease Activity Using Microsphere-Cytometry Assays with E. coli Derived Substrates: VWF Proteolysis by ADAMTS13. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Protease levels in human blood are often prognostic indicators of inflammatory, thrombotic or oncogenic disorders. The measurement of such enzyme activities in substrate-based assays is complicated due to the low prevalence of these enzymes and steric ...

Thrombotic microangiopathies: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura / hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are pathological conditions characterized by generalized microvascular occlusion by platelet thrombi, thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.

Antibodies that conformationally activate ADAMTS13 allosterically enhance metalloprotease domain function.

open access: yesBlood Advances, 2020
Plasma ADAMTS13 circulates in a folded conformation that is stabilized by an interaction between the central Spacer domain and the C-terminal CUB (complement components C1r and C1s, sea urchin protein Uegf, and bone morphogenetic protein-1) domains ...

Thrombotic microangiopathy and associated renal disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a pathological process involving thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and microvascular occlusion.

Structural basis of type 2A von Willebrand disease investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and experiments. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The hemostatic function of von Willebrand factor is downregulated by the metalloprotease ADAMTS13, which cleaves at a unique site normally buried in the A2 domain.

Exponential Size Distribution of von Willebrand Factor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a multimeric protein crucial for hemostasis. Under shear flow, it acts as a mechanosensor responding with a size-dependent globule-stretch transition to increasing shear rates.

Biomarkers of Cellular Senescence in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
In cohorts of lean controls, obese participants without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obese T2DM participants, we find that T‐cell expression of senescence biomarkers is altered only in the T2DM participants and not with obesity alone. Moreover, high T‐cell p16 expression in the T2DM participants is associated with impaired bone cortical indices.

Effect of therapeutic plasma exchange on endothelial activation and coagulation-related parameters in septic shock

open access: yesCritical Care, 2020
Background A dysbalanced coagulation system is part of the pathological host response to infection in sepsis. Activation of pro-coagulant pathways and attenuation of anti-coagulant activity ultimately lead to microvascular stasis and consequent organ ...
