Despite its original discovery in the endothelium,2 SCUBE1 is also highly expressed in platelets.13 When overexpressed in human embryonic kidney-293T cells, recombinant SCUBE1 is a secreted glycoprotein that forms an oligomeric complex tethered to the cell surface.2,16 Consistent with the well-recognized role of the EGF-like domain in mediating homophilic cell-cell interaction and adhesion,14,28 our previous studies showed that protein fragments containing the NH2-terminal EGF-like repeats of SCUBE1 can enhance platelet adhesion and ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination.13 In addition, clinical studies by us and others showed significantly elevated plasma SCUBE1 content in patients with acute coronary syndrome, acute ischemic stroke, hypertension, and hemodialysis.20-22 Thus, plasma SCUBE1 is a potential biomarker of platelet activation in acute thrombotic diseases.20 However, whether soluble SCUBE1 has a pathological role in thrombogenesis during progression of acute thromboembolic diseases ...

Sometimes, a platelet agonist is needed to assay platelet function in cases where there is defective adhesion and aggregation. One of these agonists is Ristocetin. Ristocetin is an antibiotic previously used to treat staphylococcal infections. Use was discontinued because of its lethal side-effects, thrombocytopenia and platelet agglutination. Because of these same side-effects, ristocetin is now used to diagnose certain hematologic conditions such as von Willebrand disease and Bernard-Soulier syndrome.. Ristocetin causes von Willebrand factor to bind the platelet receptor GpIb so that when ristocetin is added to whole blood, it agglutinates. The mechanism for such activity is yet unexplained but there are several hypotheses including one in which the binding of ristocetin to the platelet changes its surface charge. Ristocetin will show hypoagglutination in von Willebrand disease because of a deficiency in von Willebrand factor and in Bernard-Soulier syndrome because of a deficiency in GpIb ...

Missense mutations in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene impairing the binding to factor VIII (FVIII) do not impair the structure of VWF multimers nor the ability of VWF to aggregate platelets but causes an accelerated clearance of FVIII. Recessive VWD type Normandy (N) encompasses all patients with a deficiency in FVIII:coagulant activity (C) caused by a markedly decreased affinity of VWF for FVIII:C due to a FVIII binding defect in VWF but with normal or near normal VWF:antigen (Ag), VWF:ristocetin cofactor activity (RCo) and VWF:collagen binding (CB) levels, normal VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag ratio, normal VWF multimeric pattern and normal VWF-dependent platelet functions including ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation and bleeding time (BT) consistent with VWD type 1. The response to 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) of VWF parameters is usually normal, but the degree of restricted response curves to DDAVP of FVIII:C depends on the severity of the FVIII binding defect to the mutated VWF. The ...

A von Willebrand factor (vWF) activity - ristocetin cofactor test lets doctors evaluate the functioning of the protein vWF, which helps blood to clot. A clot is a lump of blood that the body produces to prevent excessive bleeding by sealing leaks from blood vessels caused by wounds, cuts, scratches, or other conditions.. The bloods ability to clot is a complex process involving platelets (also called thrombocytes) and proteins called clotting factors. Platelets are oval-shaped cells made in the bone marrow. Most clotting factors are made in the liver. Some, like vWF, are made in blood vessel walls.. When a blood vessel breaks, platelets are first to the area to help seal the leak and temporarily stop or slow bleeding. But for the clot to become strong and stable, the action of clotting factors is required.. The bodys clotting factors are numbered using the Roman numerals I through XII. They work together in a specialized sequence, almost like pieces of a puzzle. When the last piece is in ...

Platelet GPIb-IX-V is a major player in hemostasis, serving as the receptor for von Willebrand factor (VWF) and mediating the platelet-subendothelium interactions. Deficiencies of this multiprotein complex or the plasma VWF result in a bleeding diathesis. The GPIb-IX-V complex, expressed on megakaryocytes and platelets, contains 4 distinct transmembrane subunits, GPIbα, GPIbβ, GPIX, and GPV (see figure).2 Each subunit is a distinct gene product.2. The best recognized inherited bleeding disorder involving the GPIb-IX-V complex is the Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS), an autosomal recessive disorder arising from homozygous or compound heterozygous variants of GP1BA, GP1BB, and GP9.3 In 1948, 2 French physicians, Jean Bernard and Jean-Pierre Soulier, first reported a severe bleeding disorder associated with thrombocytopenia and giant platelets, later shown to be characterized by decreased ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination.3,4 To date, 45, 39, and 28 variants in GP1BA, GP1BB, and GP9, ...

Background: von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, is caused by deficiencies and/or defects in von Willebrand factor (VWF). An effective diagnostic and VWD typing strategy requires plasma testing for factor VIII, and VWF antigen plus one or moreVWFactivity assays. VWFactivity is classically assessed by using VWF ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:RCo), although VWF collagen-binding (VWF:CB) and VWF mAbbased (VWF activity [VWF:Act]) assays are used by some laboratories. Objective: To perform a cross-laboratory study to specifically evaluate these three VWF activity assays for comparative sensitivity to loss of high molecular weight (HMW) VWF, representing the form of VWF that is most functionally active and that is absent in some types of VWD, namely 2A and 2B. Methods: A set of eight samples, including six selectively representing stepwise reduction in HMW VWF, were tested by 51 different laboratories using a variety of assays. Results: The combined data ...

The present study showed that plasma levels of vWF antigen, ristocetin cofactor activity, and SIPA under high-shear conditions were elevated in the patients with UAP and AMI, particularly during the very acute phase after symptom onset. We also found that the amount of larger vWF multimers in patients with ACSs exceeded that in controls and that there was significant correlation in ACSs between the plasma level of vWF or the amount of larger vWF multimers and the extent of SIPA induced by high shear.. Plasma levels of vWF are elevated in patients with coronary artery disease3 4 17 as well as in patients with other disorders, including diabetes mellitus, IgA nephropathy, and malignant hypertension.17 18 After endothelial damage, larger multimers of vWF are released from endothelial cells and can mediate the adhesion of platelets to the vessel wall.19 20 21 In disorders such as coronary artery disease, platelet adhesion mediated by the vWF-GPIb interaction is the initial step in thrombus ...

When suspected, blood plasma of a patient needs to be investigated for quantitative and qualitative deficiencies of vWF. This is achieved by measuring the amount of vWF in a vWF antigen assay and the functionality of vWF with a glycoprotein (GP)Ib binding assay, a collagenbinding assay or, a ristocetin cofactor activity (RiCof) or ristocetin induced platelet agglutination (RIPA) assays. Factor VIII levels are also performed because factor VIII is bound to vWF which protects the factor VIII from rapid breakdown within the blood. Deficiency of vWF can therefore lead to a reduction in factor VIII levels. Normal levels do not exclude all forms of vWD: particularly type 2 which may only be revealed by investigating platelet interaction with subendothelium under flow (PAF), a highly specialized coagulation study not routinely performed in most medical laboratories. A platelet aggregation assay will show an abnormal response to ristocetin with normal responses to the other agonists used. A platelet ...

GPIbα is a protein present on the membrane of platelets and is very important in clotting. It binds to another clotting protein called von Willebrand factor (VWF) and this binding is considered to be the first step of clotting at the site of injury. Hyper-responsive GPIbα characterizes the rare bleeding disorder platelet-type von Willebrand disease (PT-VWD) and results in excessive binding between GPIbα and VWF leading to subsequent removal from the circulation. Patients suffering from this disease have mild to severe bleeding problems which can be life threatening in case of surgery, pregnancy and childbirth if not treated properly. Mechanisms that explain the bleeding condition are not fully understood and appear to be independent of VWF binding and clearance of VWF-platelet complex. We will look at various aspects of platelet activation and clot formation using a mouse model for PT-VWD. We will also study the effect of inhibiting hyper-response GPIbα on bleeding in these mice.

Prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) may offer great benefits for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Von Willebrand factor (vWF) is stored in endothelial cells and released into blood plasma upon vascular dysfunction. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of plasma vWF levels in CAD patients with MACEs. A total of 15 studies were included in this meta-analysis through the search in PubMed, Embase and CNKI. Data were collected from 960 patients who had MACEs after CAD and 3224 controls nested without the adverse events. The standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using random-effects model. The plasma vWF levels examined at 24 h and 48 h after admission were significantly higher in CAD patients with MACEs than those without. The pooled SMD among the MACEs group and the non-MACEs group was 0.55 (95% CI = 0.30-0.80, P | 0.0001) and 0.70 (95% CI = 0.27-1.13, P = 0.001), respectively. However, no

Platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib (GPIb), a receptor for von Willebrand factor and thrombin, is present on the platelet surface membrane, in intraplatelet stores, and in plasma (as the proteolytic fragment glycocalicin). We examined the hypothesis that after plasmin-mediated cleavage of platelet surface GPIb, platelets can replenish their surface GPIb pool. Incubation of washed platelets with plasmin (1 hour, 22 degrees C) resulted in loss of platelet surface GPIb, but further incubation (3 hours, 37 degrees C) in autologous plasma resulted in restoration of platelet surface GPIb, as determined by ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination and a flow cytometric assay of platelet binding of three GPIb-specific monoclonal antibodies. Despite the restoration of platelet surface GPIb after the 3-hour incubation of plasmin-treated platelets in autologous plasma, the whole platelet GPIb content (measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA], sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,

A 16-year-old boy had IIB von Willebrands disease. The disorder is characterized by prolonged bleeding times; normal plasma levels of factor VIII-coagulant activity, factor VIII-ristocetin cofactor activity, and factor VIII-related antigen; abnormal (anodal) mobility of plasma factor VIII-related antigen on two-dimensional crossed Immunoelectrophoresis; and enhanced binding of plasma factor VIII-related antigen to normal platelets in the presence of ristocetin. These variables were measured at time periods after an infusion of normal cryoprecipitate into the patient. The electrophoretic mobility of his plasma factor VIII-related antigen was normal 15 minutes after the infusion but became abnormal (anodal) by 4 hours. His bleeding times were normal after 24 hours and did not correlate with plasma levels of factor VIII-coagulant activity, factor VIII-ristocetin cofactor, factor VIII-related antigen, or the electrophoretic mobility of his plasma factor VIII-related antigen.

Abstract: von Willebrand disease is a common inherited bleeding disorder characterized by excessive mucocutaneous bleeding. Characteristic bleeding symptoms include epistaxis, easy bruising, oral cavity bleeding, menorrhagia, bleeding after dental extraction, surgery, and/or childbirth, and in severe cases, bleeding into joints and soft tissues. There are three subtypes: types 1 and 3 represent quantitative variants and type 2 is a group of four qualitative variants: (1) type 2A-characterized by defective von Willebrand factor-dependent platelet adhesion because of decreased high-molecular-weight von Willebrand factor multimers, (2) type 2B-caused by pathologically increased von Willebrand factor-platelet interactions, (3) type 2M-caused by decreased von Willebrand factor-platelet interactions not based on the loss of high-molecular-weight multimers, and (4) type 2N-characterized by reduced binding of von Willebrand factor to factor VIII. The diagnosis of von Willebrand disease requires specialized

The intracellular signaling immediately following GPIb receptor occupancy connecting the adhesive event to platelet activation and aggregation has not been well characterized. The 14-3-3 proteins are a 27- to 30-kD ubiquitous protein family with diverse biologic roles, including functional modulation of several prominent signaling proteins. We used the yeast two-hybrid system and confocal microscopy to characterize the recently described interaction between GPIb and platelet 14-3-3ζ and provide evidence for the potential signaling role of this protein. Two-hybrid interactions suggest that ...

BACKGROUND: Endothelial damage/dysfunction may contribute to a prothrombotic state in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and the increased risk of thromboembolism and cardiovascular events. Raised plasma von Willebrand factor (vWf), an established marker of endothelial damage/dysfunction, has been associated with stroke and vascular events, at least in a clinical trial population. Soluble E-selectin (sE-sel) is another biomarker of endothelial activation/dysfunction, with more limited data on prognostic outcomes in AF.. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between the levels of vWf, sE-sel and clinical adverse outcomes (including stroke, MI and all-cause mortality) in a real-world community cohort of patients with AF.. METHODS: We studied 423 patients (mean age 72·7 ± 8·4 years, 55·6% male) with nonvalvular AF, with a median follow-up of 19 (9-31) months. Plasma vWf and sE-sel levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).. RESULTS: There were 94 clinical ...

Recently, several von Willebrand factor gene mutations resulting in type IIA von Willebrands disease have been reported. We examined 8 patients from Sweden and Denmark with this phenotype and found two new candidate mutations and a hitherto unknown amino acid polymorphism. One patient had a de novo occurring mutation resulting in substitution of glycine for arginine 834. Previous reports have demonstrated conversion of arginine 834 to tryptophan or glutamine in IIA patients. A 2nd patient had a G(4825)--|A transition, substituting arginine for glycine 846. The transition produces a sequence congruent with that of the pseudogene but several lines of evidence indicate that a sequencing error due to influence by the latter could be excluded. The remaining 6 patients had one of the earlier described substitution mutations: Ser743--|Leu and Ile865--|Thr. In addition, two sequence variations not linked to the phenotype were found, namely Tyr821--|Cys and Val802--|Leu.

Von Willebrands disease, a common bleeding disorder affecting males and females equally, is usually inherited as a dominant trait.

Objective: In order to correct the primary von Willebrand factor (VWF) defect and avoid supra-physiologic plasma levels of factor VIII, a pure VWF concentrate almost devoid of FVIII was developed and used in France since 1989. Methods: The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of the most recent version of this concentrate (Wilfactin®; LFB, Les Ulis, France), treated with three virus-inactivation/removal methods (solvent/detergent, 35 nm filtration, dry heat treatment), was investigated in 25 patients. Seventeen patients with various types of clinically severe von Willebrand disease (VWD) were included in a crossover, randomized trial carried out in five European centers and comparing Wilfactin® with concentrates containing both FVIII and VWF (FVIII/VWF). Eight type 3 VWD patients were included in another trial carried out in six French centers comparing Wilfactin® with its previous version (Facteur Willebrand-LFB®; LFB) that adopted one virus-inactivation method only. Results: For both the ...

von Willebrand factor/ristocetin (vWF/R) induces GPIb-dependent platelet agglutination and activation of αIIbβ3 integrin, which also binds vWF. These conditions make it difficult to investigate GPIb-specific signaling pathways in washed platelets. Here, we investigated the specific mechanisms of GPIb signaling using echicetin-coated polystyrene beads, which specifically activate GPIb. We compared platelet activation induced by echicetin beads to vWF/R. Human platelets were stimulated with polystyrene beads coated with increasing amounts of echicetin and platelet activation by echicetin beads was then investigated to reveal GPIb specific signaling. Echicetin beads induced αIIbβ3-dependent aggregation of washed platelets, while under the same conditions vWF/R treatment led only to αIIbβ3-independent platelet agglutination. The average distance between the echicetin molecules on the polystyrene beads must be less than 7 nm for full platelet activation, while the total amount of echicetin used ...

Detailed drug Information for antihemophilic factor viii and von willebrand factor complex Intravenous. Includes common brand names, drug descriptions, warnings, side effects and dosing information.

Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding condition. It can also result from leukemia, lupus, and the use of some drugs. A person with vWD will bruise and bleed more easily than other people, because they lack a clotting factor. People with this condition must take certain precautions.

The drug desmopressin (1-deamine-8-D-arginine vasopressin [DDAVP]) has become a mainstay of therapy for most patients with mild von Willebrand disease.

These monoclonal antibody clones recognize different epitopes on the von Willebrand factor protein, and allow the analysis of functions related to different domains. Clones VW40-1 and VW1-2 are recommended for general use.

Most patients with vWD have mild disease that may go undiagnosed until trauma or surgery occurs. Trauma or surgery may result in life-threatening bleeding in severely affected individuals.

See what pediatric expert Dr. Suzanne Dixon has to say about passing on this inherited disorder that alters the bloods ability to clot.

First we visually evaluated proteins separated into a gel into characteristic bands, then we defined the multimer fractions (LMWM - low molecular weight multimers - peak 1-3; IMWM - intermediate molecular weight multimers - peak 4-7; HMWM ,7) using Phoresis software. Densitometric quantification of the fractions were also conducted. A statistically significant difference was observed when comparing HMWM in the group of the patients with type 1 and type 2 (p,0.0001). We also noticed significant differences in HMWM distribution when comparing patients with Type 1 and 2A (p,0.0001); 2A and 2M (p=0.0351); 2A and 2N (p=0.0058). No difference was found in group of the patients classified as type 1, type 2M and type 2N (p=0.8569).. Conclusions: Multimer analysis using the HS/11VWM assay (Sebia) can be proposed as a screening test that helps to make an accurate distinction between normal multimer distribution (types 1, 2M, 2N) and absence of multimers (type 2A).. ...

Id like to go under the assumption that most of you know what Von Willebrands Disease is, but I realize that I wasnt very educated about it until recently and some of you reading this might not have VWD. VWD is a bleeding disorder with 3 types caused by a lack of the Von Willebrand Factor in your blood. The factor helps clot your blood and also carries factor 8 through your blood. In type 1, you simply dont have enough of it. In type 2, you also dont have enough of it, but there are several sub-types of type 2. I would try to further explain type 2, but it is highly complicated and given that I have type 1, I dont fully understand it. Type 3 is the most severe type of VWD, in this case, you do not have any of the Von Willebrand factor circulating through your blood. It is very rare to have type 3 because both of your parents must have VWD, of any type, in order for you to have type 3. And even if both of your parents have VWD, it doesnt mean youll end up with type 3 or VWD at all ...

Semantic Scholar extracted view of Structural basis for the specific inhibition of glycoprotein Ib alpha shedding by an inhibitory antibody by Yue Tao et al.

This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in hemostasis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed following assembly into large multimeric complexes. These complexes function in the adhesion of platelets to sites of vascular injury and the transport of various proteins in the blood. Mutations in this gene result in von Willebrand disease, an inherited bleeding disorder. An unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015 ...

The most common inherited bleeding disorder. It affects women and men in equal numbers. Patients with this disease have diminished production of von Willebrand factor or produce a molecule that does not function normally resulting in platelets do not adhere properly when blood vessels are injured, causing long bleeding times. There are different types of this disease They vary in severity and require different treatments.
