Determination of ADAMTS13 and Its Clinical Significance for ADAMTS13 Supplementation Therapy to Improve the Survival of Patients with Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis
The liver plays a central role in hemostasis by synthesizing clotting factors, coagulation inhibitors, and fibrinolytic proteins. Liver cirrhosis (LC), therefore, impacts on both primary and secondary hemostatic mechanisms. ADAMTS13 is a metalloproteinase, produced exclusively in hepatic stellate cells, and specifically cleaves unusually large von Willebrand factor multimers (UL-VWFM). Deficien...
متن کاملClinical insights from observations on ADAMTS13 deficiency in liver cirrhosis.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 99: 987–988 Ten years ago ADAMTS13 (A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin 1-like repeats) exploded into the awareness of haematologists when a severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 was associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (1, 2). ADAMTS13 is an enzyme in normal plasma required for proteolysis of von Willebrand factor (VWF) following its secretio...
متن کاملApical Sorting of ADAMTS13 in Vascular Endothelial Cells and Madin-Darby Canine Kidney Cells Depends on the CUB Domains and Their Association with Lipid Rafts* Running title: Biosynthesis and intracellular sorting of ADAMTS13
ADAMTS13 biosynthesis appeared to occur mainly in hepatic stellate cells, but detection of ADAMTS13 mRNA in many other tissues suggests that vascular endothelium may also produce ADAMTS13. We showed that ADAMTS13 mRNA and protein were detectable in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, aortic endothelial cells and endothelium-derived cell line (ECV304). ADAMTS13 in cell lysate or serum-free c...

متن کاملPrediction of hepatocellular carcinoma development by plasma ADAMTS13 in chronic hepatitis B and C.
BACKGROUND Chronic liver injury evokes a wound healing response, promoting fibrosis and finally hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in which hepatic stellate cells play an important role. Although a blood marker of hepatic stellate cells is not known, those cells importantly contribute to the regulation of plasma a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motifs 13 (ADAMTS1...
