Although proteolytic processing of pro-von Willebrand factor (pro-vWF) resulting in free propeptide and mature vWF is known to be initiated intracellularly, vWF released from endothelial cells may contain a high proportion of incompletely processed pro-vWF. Because pro-vWF is only rarely detectable in normal human plasma, we investigated whether extracellular processing of pro-vWF is possible. ...
von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimeric composition is regulated in plasma by ADAMTS13. VWF deglycosylation enhances proteolysis by ADAMTS13. In this study, the role of terminal sialic acid residues on VWF glycans in mediating proteolysis by ADAMTS13 was investigated. Quantification and distribution of VWF sialylation was examined by sequential digestion and high-performance liquid chromatograph...
Type Vicenza variant of von Willebrand disease (VWD) is characterized by a low plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) level and supranormal VWF multimers. Two candidate mutations, G2470A and G3864A at exons 17 and 27, respectively, of the VWF gene were recently reported to be present in this disorder. Four additional families, originating from northeast Italy, with both mutations of type Vicenza VW...
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) may be caused by an impaired von Willebrand factor (VWF) synthesis, its increased clearance or abnormal function, or combinations of these factors. It may be difficult to recognize the different contributions of these anomalies. Here we demonstrate that VWD diagnostics gains from measuring platelet VWF, which can reveal a defective VWF synthesis. Measuring platelet ...
Intravascular infection due to Staphylococcus aureus requires colonization of subendothelium in the presence of shear forces. von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric glycoprotein playing a key role in platelet adhesion to subendothelium. To determine whether VWF may also play a role in adhesion of S. aureus to endovascular sites, binding of VWF to S. aureus and adhesion of S. aureus t...
von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a multimeric glycoprotein that promotes platelet aggregation and stabilizes coagulation factor VIII in the plasma. vWF is also required for the stable accumulation of recombinant factor VIII secreted from cells in a heterologous expression system. In this report, we show that vWF can promote the in vitro reconstitution of factor VIII activity from dissociated heav...
We studied 17 patients with moderate to mild type I von Willebrand's disease (vWd) and correlated the bleeding time with the plasma von Willebrand factor antigen (vWf Ag), the plasma vWf activity (ristocetin cofactor), the platelet vWf Ag, and the platelet vWf activity. We found an excellent correlation between the bleeding time and the platelet vWf activity and, to a lesser extent, between the...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE von Willebrand factor (vWF) plays an important role in thrombus formation during cerebrovascular damage. We sought to investigate the potential role of circulating vWF in recurrent cerebrovascular events and identify genetic contributors to variation in vWF level in an ischemic stroke population. METHODS We analyzed the effect of circulating vWF on risk of recurrent str...
Human factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (fVIII/vWf) was purified to homogeneity as defined by electrophoretic and immunologic criteria and tested for fVIII procoagulant and ristocetin cofactor activities. As little as 0.4 sg/mI of purified fVllI/vWf fully aggregated washed human platelets in the presence of ristocetin. Purified fVIlI/vWf. whether thrombinactivated or -inactivated. and fVIIl/vWf...
Several rare European von Willebrand disease missense variants of VWF (including p.Arg2185Gln and p.His817Gln) were recently reported to be common in apparently healthy African Americans (AAs). Using data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, we assessed the association of these and other VWF coding variants with von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII) levels in 4468 AAs. Of 30 n...
