    Abstract Whole-exome sequencing (WES) in families with an unexplained tendency for venous thromboembolism (VTE) may favor detection of low-frequency variants in genes with known contribution to hemostasis or associated with VTE-related phenotypes. WES analysis in six family members, three of whom affected by documented VTE, filtered for MAF < 0.04 in 192 candidate genes, revealed 22 heterozygous (16 missense and six synonymous) variants in patients. Functional prediction by multi-component bioinformatics tools, implemented by a database/literature search, including ClinVar annotation and QTL analysis, prioritized 12 missense variants, three of which (

    Abstract Background: Platelet activation at the early stage of COVID-19 is poorly described. The need for antiplatelet therapy in patients with COVID-19 remains controversial. We characterized the platelet activation profile in hospitalized patients at the early stage of COVID-19 using the modified prothrombinase Platelet Activation State (PAS) Assay.
    Methods: Sixteen patients admitted to the emergency department of the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy) between February 8 and April 2021 were enrolled. All patients presented with respiratory symptoms and tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Platelet activation was measured via the PAS Assay within 24 hours from patients' hospital admission. Data were compared with those measured in N.=24 healthy subjects (controls).
    Results: Platelet activation was significantly higher in COVID-19 patients with respect to controls (PAS=0.63 [0.58-0.98%] vs. 0.46 [0.40-0.65%], respectively; P=0.03). Of note, highest PAS values were measured in the two patients with the worst clinical outcome, i.e., death because of respiratory failure (PAS=2.09% and 1.20%, respectively). No differences in standard coagulation parameters were noted between these two patients and those who were later discharged home.
    Conclusions: This study provides evidence of significant platelet activation state at the early stage of COVID-19 and suggests that the patient-specific platelet activation profile is a reliable clinical marker to stratify COVID-19 patients at high risk of poor clinical outcome who might potentially benefit from antiplatelet therapy.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the competing pro-haemorrhagic contribution of acquired von Willebrand (vW) disease and antithrombotic therapy in patients implanted with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs).
    Methods: We compared the extent of vW factor (vWf) degradation [vWf antigen (vWf:Ag)] and a decrease of functional activity of large vWf multimers [vWf collagen binding (vWf:CB)] in LVAD patients who did and did not suffer from bleeding. Data were measured pre-implant, at short-term (t1: <3 months) and long-term (t2: >12 months) follow-up. The occurrence of primary bleeding events, as well as bleeding recurrence, was correlated with patient-specific vWf profile and antithrombotic regimen. Indeed, patients were discharged on warfarin (international normalized ratio: 2-2.5) and aspirin, with the latter withhold after a first bleeding episode.
    Results: Fifty-three patients were enrolled. The median follow-up was 324 (226-468) days. We recorded 25 primary bleeding events (47% of patients). All primary events occurred in patients on warfarin and aspirin. Both vWf:Ag and vWf:CB decreased significantly post-implant (P = 0.0003 and P < 0.0001), and patients showing pathological vWf:CB/vWf:Ag ratio (<0.7) increased progressively over the time of support (pre-implant = 26%, t1 = 58%, t2 = 74%; P < 0.0001). Of note, activity of large vWf multimers of bleeders was significantly lower at t2 with respect to non-bleeders (vWf:CB: 61 (36-115) vs 100 (68-121), P = 0.04; vWf:CB/vWf:Ag ratio: 0.36 (0.26-0.61) vs 0.58 (0.33-0.96), P = 0.04). Despite these marked differences in the vWf profile, following aspirin discontinuation only 3 patients had bleeding recurrence.
    Conclusions: Aspirin contributes significantly to haemorrhagic events in the background of acquired vW disease; its discontinuation significantly reduces bleeding recurrence.

    Abstract We characterized the biologic background of prothrombotic platelet function in the setting of durable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) evaluating the role of different antithrombotic regimens. Platelet-mediated thrombin generation was quantified using the Platelet Activity State (PAS) Assay and the Thrombin Generation Test (TGT) in 78 patients implanted with the HeartMate II (n = 10, 13%), the HeartMate 3 (HM3) (n = 30, 38%), or the HVAD (n = 38, 49%) and managed with oral anticoagulation plus aspirin (n = 46, 59%) or anticoagulation alone (n = 32, 41%). Coagulation parameters (platelet count, International Normalized Ratio (INR), activated Partial Thromboplastin Time, Fibrinogen and D-Dimer levels) and hemolysis (lactate dehydrogenase levels [LDH]) were also recorded to comprehensively characterize the hemostatic profile in the two groups. In patients without aspirin, the PAS assay revealed low-intensity increase in platelet prothrombinase activity (1.11-fold, p = 0.03). Similarly the TGT revealed moderate higher platelet reactivity when compared with patients receiving aspirin, consistent with reduction in lag time (0.87-fold, p < 0.001), increase in peak of thrombin generation (1.5-fold, p = 0.002) and thrombin generation rate (2-fold, p = 0.02), but comparable endogenous thrombin potential (p = 0.50). Coagulation parameters and LDH were comparable in the two groups (p > 0.05). Moreover, no differences were noted in platelet prothrombinase activity of patients implanted with the HM3 or HVAD. Our results suggest that, in the setting of durable LVADs, aspirin minimally modulates the biochemical pathway of platelet-mediated thrombin generation. Accordingly, re-evaluation of current antithrombotic management criteria in patients stratified according to bleeding/thromboembolic risk might be safe and beneficial to prevent adverse events.

    Abstract Aging accounts for increased risk and dismal outcome of ischemic stroke. Here, we investigated the impact of age-related changes in the immune system on stroke. Upon experimental stroke, compared with young mice, aged mice had increased neutrophil clogging of the ischemic brain microcirculation, leading to worse no-reflow and outcomes. Aged mice showed an enhanced granulopoietic response to stroke that led to the accumulation of CD101

    Abstract Introduction: Inherited deficiencies in the coagulation pathway provide diversified models to investigate the molecular bases of perinatal lethality associated with null-like variants. Differently from X-linked haemophilias, homozygous/doubly heterozygous null variants in the rare autosomally inherited deficiency of factor X (FX) might be incompatible with perinatal survival.
    Aim: To provide experimental evidence about the null/close-to-null FX function.
    Methods: The residual secreted (ELISA) and functional (thrombin generation assays) protein levels associated with the novel nonsense (c.1382G>A; p.Trp461Ter) and missense (c.752T>C; p.Leu251Pro) variants, found in the proposita with life-threatening symptoms at birth, were characterized through recombinant (r)FX expression.
    Results: The rFX-461Ter showed very low secretion and undetectable function. Expression and function of the predicted readthrough-deriving missense variants (rFX-461Tyr, rFX-461Gln) were also severely impaired. These unfavourable features, due to nucleotide and protein sequence constraints, precluded functional readthrough over the 461 stop codon. Differently, the poorly secreted rFX-251Pro variant displayed residual function that was characterized by anti-TFPI aptamer-based amplification or selective inhibition of activated FX function by fondaparinux in plasma and found to be reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude. Similarly to the rFX-251Pro, a group of catalytic domain missense variants cause poorly secreted molecules with modest function in FX-deficient patients with life-threatening symptoms.
    Conclusions: Our data, contributing to the knowledge of the very severe FX deficiency forms, support life-saving requirement of trace FX function, clearly exemplified by the dysfunctional but not completely inactive rFX-251Pro variant that, albeit with severely reduced function, is compatible with a residual activity ensuring minimal haemostasis and permitting perinatal survival.

    Abstract After the discovery of the key components of the protein C (PC) pathway a beneficial effect on survival of the infusion of activated protein C (APC) in animal models of sepsis was demonstrated, leading to the development of recombinant human activated protein C (rh-APC) as a therapeutic agent. It soon became clear that rather than the anticoagulant and profibrinolytic activities of APC, its anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties played a major role in the treatment of patients with severe sepsis. Such properties affect the response to inflammation of endothelial cells and leukocytes and are exerted through binding of APC to at least five receptors with intracellular signaling. The main APC protective mechanism involves binding of the Gla-domain to the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and cleavage of protease activated receptor 1 (PAR-1), eliciting suppression of proinflammatory cytokines synthesis and of intracellular proapoptotic pathways and activation of endothelial barrier properties. However, thrombin cleaves PAR-1 with much higher catalytic efficiency, followed by pro-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic and barrier disruptive intracellular signaling, and it is unclear how APC can exert a protective activity through the cleavage of PAR-1 when thrombin is also present in the same environment. Interestingly, in endothelial cell cultures, PAR-1 cleavage by thrombin results in anti-inflammatory and barrier protective signaling provided occupation of EPCR by the PC gla-domain, raising the possibility that the beneficial effects of rh-APC might be recapitulated in vivo by administration of h-PC zymogen to patients with severe sepsis. Recent reports of h-PC infusion in animal models of sepsis support this hypothesis.
