Abstract

In plasma, the size of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer is down-regulated by ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, member 13). The binding of platelets or glycoprotein (GP) Ibα recombinant fragment to VWF domain A1 may increase the cleavage by ADAMTS13 to VWF. Both type 2B and type 2M von Willebrand disease (VWD) result in bleeding disorders with the diathesis of increased and decreased binding affinity between GPIbα and VWF, respectively. However, the influence of 2B/2M VWD mutations in the A1 domain and GPIbα on cleavage by ADAMTS13 to VWF needs further study. Different types of full-length human recombinant VWF (rVWF) were expressed, including three type 2B mutations (P1337L, H1268D, and R1308C), one type 2M mutation (D1302G), and wild type (WT). The three characterized types of rVWF were digested by ADAMTS13 under static conditions or high-shear stress. The interaction of rVWF and ADAMTS13 was also tested by plate-binding assays. Under static (natured) conditions or high-shear stress, type 2B mutants exhibited a higher susceptibility to ADAMTS13 than rVWF-WT, whereas type 2M mutant was normal. While under static (denatured) conditions or high-shear stress (with GPIbα fragmen...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
