Of von Willebrand factor and platelets [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2014
Hemostasis and pathological thrombus formation are dynamic processes that require multiple adhesive receptor-ligand interactions, with blood platelets at the heart of such events. Many studies have contributed to shed light on the importance of von Willebrand factor (VWF) interaction with its platelet receptors, glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V and αIIbβ3 ...

Platelet-independent adhesion of calcium-loaded erythrocytes to von Willebrand factor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Adhesion of erythrocytes to endothelial cells lining the vascular wall can cause vaso-occlusive events that impair blood flow which in turn may result in ischemia and tissue damage.

Carbohydrate of the Factor VIII/von Willebrand Factor in von Willebrand's Disease [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1979
We have examined the plasma Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (FVIII/vWF) molecule from 16 patients with von Willebrand's disease, and have found no evidence of a significant decrease of carbohydrate content in 15 of these patients. FVIII/vWF was isolated by preparative counter immunoelectrophoresis directly from plasma using antibody to Factor VIII ...

von Willebrand factor. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1997
The adhesive protein von Willebrand factor contributes to platelet function by mediating the initiation and progression of thrombus formation at sites of vascular injury. In the last 2 years, there has been considerable progress in explaining the biologic properties of von Willebrand factor.

von Willebrand factor and early diabetic retinopathy: no evidence for a relationship in patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and normal urinary albumin excretion [PDF]

, 1992
High plasma levels of von Willebrand factor, an indicator of endothelial cell dysfunction, have been reported in both diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy.

An apparently silent nucleotide substitution (c.7056C>T) in the von Willebrand factor gene is responsible for type 1 von Willebrand disease

Haematologica, 2011
Background Nucleotide variations not changing protein sequences are considered silent mutations; accumulating data suggest that they can, however, be important in human diseases.Design and Methods We report an altered splicing process induced by a silent

Evaluation of a new semi-automated Hydragel 11 von Willebrand factor multimers assay kit for routine use [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2021
Background: Accurate diagnosis and classification of von Willebrand disease (VWD) are essential for optimal management. The von Willebrand factor multimers analysis (VWF:MM) is an integral part of the diagnostic process in the phenotypic classification ...

Sulfation of von Willebrand factor [PDF]

Blood, 1990
von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a multimeric adhesive glycoprotein essential for normal hemostasis. We have discovered that cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells incorporate inorganic sulfate into vWF. Following immunoisolation and analysis by polyacrylamide or agarose gel electrophoresis, metabolically labeled vWF was found to have ...

Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Biogenesis of Weibel-Palade bodies in von Willebrand’s disease variants with impaired von Willebrand factor intrachain or interchain disulfide bond formation

Haematologica, 2012
Background Mutations of cysteine residues in von Willebrand factor are known to reduce the storage and secretion of this factor, thus leading to reduced antigen levels. However, one cysteine mutation, p.Cys2773Ser, has been found in patients with type 2A(
