Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have transformed metastatic melanoma treatment, thromboembolic events (TEEs) remain a serious complication. Moreover, existing risk assessment models were developed prior to ICI use and lack clinical validation.

Plasma level and clinical significance of ADAMTS13 in patients with primary membrous nephropathy
ObjectivePatients with primary membrous nephropathy (PMN) have an elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this study was to detect plasma level of ADAMTS13 in PMN patients complicated and uncomplicated by VTE and examine their clinical ...

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

Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

Conformational activation of ADAMTS13 [PDF]
A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) is a metalloprotease that regulates von Willebrand factor (VWF) function. ADAMTS13-mediated proteolysis is determined by conformational changes in VWF, but also may depend on its ...

Anti-ADAMTS13 Autoantibodies in Immune-Mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Autoantibodies to ADAMTS13 are at the center of pathology of the immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. These autoantibodies can be either inhibitory (enzymatic function) or non-inhibitory, resulting in protein depletion.

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 ...

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

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...

• ADAMTS4 is induced primarily in cardiac fibroblasts during sepsis. • ADAMTS4 cleaves TSP1 at the 236–246 aa functional region. • TSP1 cleavage activates TGF‐β/Smad and NF‐κB signalling in fibroblasts. • Targeting ADAMTS4 reduces fibroblast activation and cardiac fibrosis.
