Comparative analysis of TRPM8 gene and COPD markers expression in rat lungs following exposure to cigarette smoke and tobacco aerosol

Acta Biomedica Scientifica
Background. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) remains a global medical and social problem. The ion channel TRPM8, a cold receptor, is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Complex changes in von Willebrand factor-associated parameters are acquired during uncomplicated pregnancy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:The coagulation protein von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is known to be elevated in pregnancy. However, the timing and nature of changes in VWF and associated parameters throughout pregnancy are not well understood.

ADAMTS-13 proteolyzed by thrombin has reduced affinity for von Willebrand factor (VWF)

, 2011
(A) 6 n ADAMTS-13, 60 n thrombin-cleaved ADAMTS-13 (ADAMTS-13/FIIa) or 60 n thrombin-cleaved ADAMTS-13/6 n ADAMTS-13 (10:1 mix) was incubated with 10 n purified plasma-derived VWF in the presence of 1.5 urea and 5 m BaCl.

Identification and functional analysis of a novel von Willebrand factor mutation in a family with type 2A von Willebrand disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is essential for normal hemostasis. VWF gene mutations cause the hemorrhagic von Willebrand disease (VWD). In this study, a 9-year-old boy was diagnosed as type 2A VWD, based on a history of abnormal bleeding, low plasma VWF ...

A conformation-sensitive monoclonal antibody against the A2 domain of von Willebrand factor reduces its proteolysis by ADAMTS13. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The size of von Willebrand factor (VWF), controlled by ADAMTS13-dependent proteolysis, is associated with its hemostatic activity. Many factors regulate ADAMTS13-dependent VWF proteolysis through their interaction with VWF.

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure.

, 2009
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

A rat model of severe VWD by elimination of the VWF gene using CRISPR/Cas9

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020
Background Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, caused by quantitative and qualitative changes in von Willebrand factor (VWF).
