Changes in ADAMTS13 (von-Willebrand-factor-cleaving protease) activity after induced release of von Willebrand factor during acute systemic inflammation.
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is synthesized in endothelial cells, stored in the form of high molecular weight multimers and released after stimulation. After release, the multimers are cleaved by ADAMTS13 (von-Willebrand-factor-cleaving protease). We studied healthy volunteers in a double-blind, placebo controlled inflammation model. Ten male volunteers received 2 ng/kg endotoxin intravenously, ...
متن کاملCoronary angioplasty enhances platelet reactivity through von Willebrand factor release.
Shear induced platelet activation is responsible for arterial thrombosis. The role of fibrinogen is established at low shear stress, but at high shear stress von Willebrand factor (vWF), not fibrinogen, is essential for platelet adhesion and aggregation. Patients with vWF deficiency exhibit resistance to thrombosis, and raised vWF is a risk factor for acute coronary syndromes. Interpretation of...
متن کاملZebrafish von Willebrand factor.
von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a large protein involved in primary hemostasis. A dysfunction in this protein or an insufficient production of the protein leads to improper platelet adhesion/aggregation, resulting in a bleeding phenotype known as von Willebrand disease (vWD). To gain a better understanding of vWF interactions in vivo, the use of zebrafish as a model is ideal because of the trans...
متن کاملVon Willebrand factor.
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. The three-dimensional structure of specific domains has been explained, with the demonstration of distin...
متن کاملExercise induced release of von Willebrand factor: evidence for hypoxic reperfusion microvascular injury in rheumatoid arthritis.
Experimental evidence suggests that rheumatoid synovitis may be perpetuated by the generation of reactive oxygen species during hypoxic reperfusion injury. The latter occurs because increased intra-articular pressure during exercise exceeds synovial capillary perfusion pressure, impairing blood flow. The object of this study was to establish a marker for and the mechanism of synovial hypoxic re...
