Abstract	One of the most used and versatile methods to study number, dimensions, content and localization of secretory organelles is confocal microscopy analysis. However, considerable heterogeneity exists in the number, size and shape of secretory organelles that can be present in the cell. One thus needs to analyze large numbers of organelles for valid quantification. Properly evaluating these parameters requires an automated, unbiased method to process and quantitatively analyze microscopy data. Here, we describe two pipelines, run by CellProfiler software, called OrganelleProfiler and OrganelleContentProfiler. These pipelines were used on confocal images of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), which contain unique secretory organelles called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), and on early endosomes in ECFCs and human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells. Results show that the pipelines can quantify the cell count, size, organelle count, organelle size, shape, relation to cells and nuclei, and distance to these objects in both endothelial and HEK293T cells. Additionally, the pipelines were used to measure the reduction in WPB size after disruption of the Golgi and to quantify the perinuclear clustering of WPBs after triggering of cAMP-mediated signaling pathways in ECFCs. Furthermore, the pipeline is able to quantify secondary signals located in or on the organelle or in the cytoplasm, such as the small WPB GTPase Rab27A. Cell profiler measurements were checked for validity using Fiji. To conclude, these pipelines provide a powerful, high-processing quantitative tool for the characterization of multiple cell and organelle types. These pipelines are freely available and easily editable for use on different cell types or organelles.

Abstract	Von Willebrand factor (VWF) undergoes complex post-translational modification within endothelial cells (EC) prior to secretion. This includes significant N- and O-linked glycosylation. Previous studies have demonstrated that changes in N-linked glycan structures significantly influence VWF biosynthesis. In contrast, although abnormalities in VWF O-linked glycans (OLG) have been associated with enhanced VWF clearance, their effect on VWF biosynthesis remains poorly explored. Herein, we report a novel role for OLG determinants in regulating VWF biosynthesis and trafficking within EC. We demonstrate that alterations in OLG (notably reduced terminal sialylation) lead to activation of the A1 domain of VWF within EC. In the presence of altered OLG, VWF multimerization is reduced and Weibel-Palade body (WPB) formation significantly impaired. Consistently, the amount of VWF secreted from WPB following EC activation was significantly reduced in the context of O-glycosylation inhibition. Finally, altered OLG on VWF not only reduced the amount of VWF secreted following EC activation, but also affected its hemostatic efficacy. Notably, VWF secreted following WPB exocytosis consisted predominantly of low molecular weight multimers and the length of tethered VWF string formation on the surface of activated ECs was significantly reduced. In conclusion, our data therefore support the hypothesis that alterations in O-glycosylation pathways directly impact VWF trafficking within human EC. These findings are interesting given that previous studies have reported altered OLG on plasma VWF (notably increased T antigen expression) in patients with von Willebrand disease.

Abstract	Background: Patients with gray platelet syndrome (GPS) and Neurobeachin-like 2 (NBEAL2) deficiency produce platelets lacking alpha-granules (AGs) and present with lifelong bleeding symptoms. AGs are lysosome-related organelles and store the hemostatic protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) and the transmembrane protein P-selectin. Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) are lysosome-related organelles of endothelial cells and also store VWF and P-selectin. In megakaryocytes, NBEAL2 links P-selectin on AGs to the SNARE protein SEC22B on the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby preventing premature release of cargo from AG precursors. In endothelial cells, SEC22B drives VWF trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi and promotes the formation of elongated WPBs, but it is unclear whether this requires NBEAL2. Objectives: To investigate a potential role for NBEAL2 in WPB biogenesis and VWF secretion using NBEAL2-deficient endothelial cells. Methods: The interaction of SEC22B with NBEAL2 in endothelial cells was investigated by interatomic mass spectrometry and pull-down analysis. Endothelial colony forming cells were isolated from healthy controls and 3 unrelated patients with GPS and mutations in Results: We showed that SEC22B binds to NBEAL2 in ECs. Endothelial colony forming cells derived from a patient with GPS are deficient in NBEAL2 but reveal normal formation and maturation of WPBs and normal WPB cargo recruitment. Neither basal nor histamine-induced VWF secretion is altered in the absence of NBEAL2. Conclusions: Although NBEAL2 deficiency causes the absence of AGs in patients with GPS, it does not impact WPB functionality in ECs. Our data highlight the differences in the regulatory mechanisms between these 2 hemostatic storage compartments.

Abstract	Background: Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and VWF propeptide (VWFpp) are stored in eccentric nanodomains within platelet alpha-granules. VWF and VWFpp can undergo differential secretion following Weibel-Palade body exocytosis in endothelial cells; however, it is unclear if the same process occurs during platelet alpha-granule exocytosis. Using a high-throughput 3-dimensional super-resolution imaging workflow for quantification of individual platelet alpha-granule cargo, we studied alpha-granule cargo release in response to different physiological stimuli. Objectives: To investigate how VWF and VWFpp are released from alpha-granules in response to physiological stimuli. Methods: Platelets were activated with protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) activating peptide (PAR-1 ap) or collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL). Alpha-tubulin, VWF, VWFpp, secreted protein acidic and cysteine rich (SPARC), and fibrinogen were imaged using 3-dimensional structured illumination microscopy, followed by semiautomated analysis in FIJI. Uptake of anti-VWF nanobody during degranulation was used to identify alpha-granules that partially released content. Results: VWFpp overlapped with VWF in eccentric alpha-granule subdomains in resting platelets and showed a higher degree of overlap with VWF than SPARC or fibrinogen. Activation of PAR-1 (0.6-20 μM PAR-1 ap) or glycoprotein VI (GPVI) (0.25-1 μg/mL CRP-XL) signaling pathways caused a dose-dependent increase in alpha-granule exocytosis. More than 80% of alpha-granules remained positive for VWF, even at the highest agonist concentrations. In contrast, the residual fraction of alpha-granules containing VWFpp decreased in a dose-dependent manner to 23%, whereas SPARC and fibrinogen were detected in 60% to 70% of alpha-granules when stimulated with 20 μM PAR-1 ap. Similar results were obtained using CRP-XL. Using an extracellular anti-VWF nanobody, we identified VWF in postexocytotic alpha-granules. Conclusion: We provide evidence for differential secretion of VWF and VWFpp from individual alpha-granules.

Abstract	Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a multimeric hemostatic protein that is synthesized in endothelial cells, where it is stored for secretion in elongated secretory organelles, so-called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). Hemostatic activity of VWF is strongly tied to WPB length, but how endothelial cells control the dimensions of their WPBs is unclear. In this study we used a targeted shRNA screen to identify the longin-SNARE Sec22b as a novel determinant of WPB size and VWF trafficking. We found that Sec22b depletion resulted in loss of the typically elongated WPB morphology along with disintegration of the Golgi and dilation of rough ER (rER) cisternae. This was accompanied by reduced proteolytic processing of VWF, accumulation of VWF in the dilated rER and reduced basal and stimulated VWF secretion. Our data demonstrate that the elongation of WPBs, and thus adhesive activity of its cargo VWF, is determined by the rate of anterograde transport between ER and Golgi, which depends on Sec22b-containing SNARE complexes.

Abstract	Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a multimeric hemostatic protein primarily synthesized in endothelial cells. VWF is stored in endothelial storage organelles, the Weibel-Palade bodies (WPB), whose biogenesis strongly depends on VWF anterograde trafficking and Golgi architecture. Elongated WPB morphology is correlated to longer VWF strings with better adhesive properties. We previously identified the SNARE SEC22B, which is involved in anterograde endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport, as a novel regulator of WPB elongation. To elucidate novel determinants of WPB morphology we explored endothelial SEC22B interaction partners in a mass spectrometry-based approach, identifying the Golgi SNARE Syntaxin 5 (STX5). We established STX5 knockdown in endothelial cells using shRNA-dependent silencing and analyzed WPB and Golgi morphology, using confocal and electron microscopy. STX5-depleted endothelial cells exhibited extensive Golgi fragmentation and decreased WPB length, which was associated with reduced intracellular VWF levels, and impaired stimulated VWF secretion. However, the secretion-incompetent organelles in shSTX5 cells maintained WPB markers such as Angiopoietin 2, P-selectin, Rab27A, and CD63. In brief, we identified SNARE protein STX5 as a novel regulator of WPB biogenesis.

Abstract	von Willebrand factor (VWF) is an essential hemostatic protein that is synthesized and secreted by endothelial cells and stored in Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). The secretory Rab GTPases Rab27A, Rab3B, and Rab3D have been linked with WPB trafficking and secretion. How these Rabs are activated and recruited to WPBs remains elusive. In this study, we identified MAP kinase-activating death domain (MADD) as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab27A and both Rab3 isoforms in primary human endothelial cells. Rab activity assays revealed a reduction in Rab27A, Rab3B, and Rab3D activation upon MADD silencing. Rab activation, but not binding, was dependent on the differentially expressed in normal and neoplastic cells (DENN) domain of MADD, indicating the potential existence of 2 Rab interaction modules. Furthermore, immunofluorescent analysis showed that Rab27A, Rab3B, and Rab3D recruitment to WPBs was dramatically decreased upon MADD knockdown, revealing that MADD drives Rab membrane targeting. Artificial mistargeting of MADD using a TOMM70 tag abolished Rab27A localization to WPB membranes in a DENN domain-dependent manner, indicating that normal MADD localization in the cytosol is crucial. Activation of Rab3B and Rab3D was reduced upon Rab27A silencing, suggesting that activation of these Rabs is enhanced through previous activation of Rab27A by MADD. MADD silencing did not affect WPB morphology, but it did reduce VWF intracellular content. Furthermore, MADD-depleted cells exhibited decreased histamine-evoked VWF release, similar to Rab27A-depleted cells. In conclusion, MADD acts as a master regulator of VWF secretion by coordinating the activation and membrane targeting of secretory Rabs to WPBs.

Abstract	Background: Platelets play a key role in hemostasis through plug formation and secretion of their granule contents at sites of endothelial injury. Defects in von Willebrand factor (VWF), a platelet α-granule protein, are implicated in von Willebrand disease (VWD), and may lead to defective platelet adhesion and/or aggregation. Studying VWF quantity and subcellular localization may help us better understand the pathophysiology of VWD. Objective: Quantitative analysis of the platelet α-granule compartment and VWF storage in healthy individuals and VWD patients. Patients/methods: Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) was used to study VWF content and organization in platelets of healthy individuals and patients with VWD in combination with established techniques. Results: SIM capably quantified clear morphological and granular changes in platelets stimulated with proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) activating peptide and revealed a large intra- and interdonor variability in VWF-positive object numbers within healthy resting platelets, similar to variation in secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC). We subsequently characterized VWD platelets to identify changes in the α-granule compartment of patients with different VWF defects, and were able to stratify two patients with type 3 VWD rising from different pathological mechanisms. We further analyzed VWF storage in α-granules of a patient with homozygous Conclusions: Our findings highlight the utility of quantitative imaging approaches in assessing platelet granule content, which may help to better understand VWF storage in α-granules and to gain new insights in the etiology of VWD.

Abstract	Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder caused by quantitative (type 1 or 3) or qualitative (type 2A/2B/2M/2N) defects of circulating von Willebrand factor (VWF). Circulating VWF levels not always fully explain bleeding phenotypes, suggesting a role for alternative factors, like platelets. Here, we investigated platelet factor 4 (PF4) in a large cohort of patients with VWD. PF4 levels were lower in type 2B and current bleeding phenotype was significantly associated with higher PF4 levels, particularly in type 1 VWD. Based on our findings we speculate that platelet degranulation and cargo release may play a role across VWD subtypes.

Abstract	Right ventricular dysfunction is highly prevalent across cardiopulmonary diseases and independently predicts death in both heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Progression towards right ventricular failure (RVF) can occur in spite of optimal medical treatment of HF or PH, highlighting current insufficient understanding of RVF molecular pathophysiology. To identify molecular mechanisms that may distinctly underlie RVF, we investigated the cardiac ventricular transcriptome of advanced HF patients, with and without RVF. Using an integrated systems genomic and functional biology approach, we identified an RVF-specific gene module, for which WIPI1 served as a hub and HSPB6 and MAP4 as drivers, and confirmed the ventricular specificity of Wipi1, Hspb6, and Map4 transcriptional changes in adult murine models of pressure overload induced RV- versus LV- failure. We uncovered a shift towards non-canonical autophagy in the failing RV that correlated with RV-specific Wipi1 upregulation. In vitro siRNA silencing of Wipi1 in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes limited non-canonical autophagy and blunted aldosterone-induced mitochondrial superoxide levels. Our findings suggest that Wipi1 regulates mitochondrial oxidative signaling and non-canonical autophagy in cardiac myocytes. Together with our human transcriptomic analysis and corroborating studies in an RVF mouse model, these data render Wipi1 a potential target for RV-directed HF therapy.
