The pathogenesis of cancer-associated thrombosis
Int J Hematol. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1007/s12185-024-03735-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with cancer have a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), compared to the general population. Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a thrombotic event that occurs as a complication of cancer or cancer therapy. Major factors determining VTE risk in cancer patients include not only treatment history and patient characteristics, but also cancer type and site. Cancer types can be broadly divided into three groups based on VTE risk: high risk (pancreatic, ova...

EGR1 transcriptionally regulates SVEP1 to promote proliferation and migration in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells
Mol Biol Rep. 2024 Feb 26;51(1):365. doi: 10.1007/s11033-024-09322-x.ABSTRACTA low-frequency variant of sushi, von Willebrand factor type A, EGF, and pentraxin domain-containing protein 1 (SVEP1) is associated with the risk of coronary artery disease, as determined by a genome-wide association study. SVEP1 induces vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and an inflammatory phenotype to promote atherosclerosis. In the present study, qRT‒PCR demonstrated that the mRNA expression of SVEP1 was significantly increased in atherosclerotic plaques compared to normal tissues. Bioinformatics revealed that EGR1 was a transcriptio...

Bleeding Disorder of Unknown Cause: A Diagnosis of Exclusion
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.1055/a-2263-5706. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with an unexplained mild to moderate bleeding tendency are diagnosed with bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC), a classification reached after ruling out other mild to moderate bleeding disorders (MBD) including von Willebrand disease (VWD), platelet function defects (PFDs), coagulation factor deficiencies (CFDs), and non-hemostatic causes for bleeding. This review outlines our diagnostic approach to BDUC, a diagnosis of exclusion, drawing on current guidelines and insights from the Vienna Bleeding Biobank (VIBB). According ...

Involvement of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 in eosinophil extracellular trap formation and contribution to citrullinated histone signal in thrombi
CONCLUSIONS: As in NETosis, PAD4 can catalyze the formation of EETs. Inhibition of PAD4 decreases EET formation, supporting the future utility of PAD4 inhibitors as possible antithrombotic agents.PMID:38395360 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtha.2024.02.010 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

VWD domain stabilization by autocatalytic Asp ‐Pro cleavage
In this study, we investigated the structural and biophysical consequences of Asp-Pro peptide cleavage in a representative FCGBP VWD domain. We found that endogenous Asp-Pro cleavage increases the resistance of the domain to exogenous proteolytic degradation. Tertiary structural interactions made by the newly generated chain termini, as revealed by a crystal structure of an FCGBP segment containing the VWD domain, may explain this observation. Notably, the Gly-Asp peptide bond, upstream of the cleavage site, assumed thecis configuration in the structure. In addition to these local features of the cleavage site, a global or...
