    Abstract Background: Biosynthesis of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in endothelial cells drives the formation of storage-organelles known as Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). WPBs also contain several other proteins, including angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2).
    Objectives: At present, the molecular basis of the VWF-Ang-2 interaction is poorly understood. Here, we used immunosorbent-binding assays and specific recombinant VWF fragments to analyze VWF-Ang-2 interactions.
    Results: We found that VWF bound to immobilized Ang-2 most efficiently (half-maximal binding at 0.5 ± 0.1 μg/mL) under conditions of high CaCl
    Conclusion: Our data show that both Ang-1 and Ang-2 bind to VWF, seemingly using different interactive sites. Ang-2 modulates the binding of VWF to Ang-1, the (patho)-physiological consequences of which remain to be investigated.

    Abstract von Willebrand disease (VWD) is characterized by its heterogeneous clinical manifestation, which complicates its diagnosis and management. The clinical management of VWD has remained essentially unchanged over the last 30 years or so, using von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentrates, desmopressin, and anti-fibrinolytic agents as main tools to control bleeding. This is in contrast to hemophilia A, for which a continuous innovative path has led to novel treatment modalities. Despite current VWD management being considered effective, quality-of-life studies consistently reveal a higher than anticipated burden of VWD on patients, which is particularly true for women. Apparently, despite our perceived notion of current therapeutic efficiency, there is space for innovation with the goal of reaching superior efficacy. Developing innovative treatments for VWD is complex, especially given the heterogeneity of the disease and the multifunctional nature of VWF. In this perspective article, we describe several potential strategies that could provide the basis for future VWD treatments. These include genetic approaches, such as gene therapy using dual-vector adenoassociated virus and transcriptional silencing of mutant alleles. Furthermore, protein-based approaches to increase factor FVIII levels in VWD-type 3 or 2N patients are discussed. Finally, antibody-based options to interfere with VWF degradation (for congenital VWD-type 2A or acquired von Willebrand syndrome-type 2A) or increase endogenous VWF levels (for VWD-type 1) are presented. By highlighting these potential strategies, we hope to initiate an innovative path, which ultimately would allow us to better serve VWD patients and their specific needs.

    Abstract Background: The effect of factor VIII (FVIII) or emicizumab on thrombin generation is usually assessed in assays using synthetic phospholipids. Here, we assessed thrombin generation at the surface of human arterial cells (aortic endothelial cells [hAECs] and aortic vascular smooth muscle cells [hVSMCs]).
    Objectives: To explore the capacity of hAECs (resting or stimulated) and hVSMCs to support thrombin generation by FVIII or emicizumab.
    Methods: Primary hVSMCs and hAECs were analyzed for tissue factor (TF)-activity and antigen, phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposure, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)-content and thrombomodulin expression. Cells were incubated with FVIII-deficient plasma spiked with FVIII, emicizumab, activated prothrombin complex concentrate (APCC) or combinations thereof.
    Results: TF activity and PS-exposure were present on both hVSMCs and hAECs. In contrast, thrombomodulin and TFPI were expressed on hAECs, while virtually lacking on hVSMCs, confirming the procoagulant nature of hVSMCs. Tumor necrosis factor α-mediated stimulation of hAECs increased not only TF antigen, TF activity, and PS-exposure but also TFPI and thrombomodulin expression. As expected, FVIII and emicizumab promoted thrombin generation on nonstimulated hAECs and hVSMCs, with more thrombin being generated on hVSMCs. Unexpectedly, FVIII and emicizumab increased thrombin generation to a lesser extent on stimulated hAECs compared with nonstimulated hAECs. Finally, adding emicizumab to FVIII did not further increase thrombin generation, whereas the addition of emicizumab to APCC resulted in exaggerated thrombin generation.
    Conclusion: Tumor necrosis factor stimulation of hAECs increases both pro- and anticoagulant activity. Unexpectedly, the increased anticoagulant activity is sufficient to limit both FVIII- and emicizumab-induced thrombin generation. This protective effect disappears when emicizumab is combined with APCC.

    Abstract Introduction: Von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a pathophysiological role in hemostatic disorders. Partial inhibition of the VWF gene through small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated allele-selective silencing could be a promising therapeutic strategy. For von Willebrand disease, allele-selectively inhibiting dominant-negative VWF-alleles might ameliorate the phenotype. For thrombotic disorders, partial VWF reduction can lower thrombotic risk, while avoiding bleeding. Previously, we demonstrated the feasibility of Vwf-silencing in homozygous C57BL/6J (B6) or 129S1/SvImJ (129S) mice. The present study investigated allele-selective Vwf-silencing in a complex heterozygous setting of crossed B6 and 129S mice and its subsequent hemostatic impact.
    Materials and methods: Heterozygous B6.129S mice were treated with siRNAs targeting Vwf expressed from either B6- (siVwf.B6) or 129S-alleles (siVwf.129S). Plasma VWF and lung Vwf mRNA were determined. siVwf.B6-treated B6.129S mice were subjected to ferric chloride-induced mesenteric vessel thrombosis and tail-bleeding.
    Results: In B6.129S mice, siVwf.B6 reduced Vwf mRNA of the targeted B6-allele by 72% vs. only 12% of the non-targeted 129S-allele (41% total mRNA reduction), lowering plasma VWF by 46%. Oppositely, siVwf.129S reduced Vwf mRNA by 45%, now selectively inhibiting the 129S-allele over the B6-allele (58% vs. 9%), decreasing plasma VWF by 43%. The allele-selective VWF reduction by siVwf.B6 coincided with decreased thrombus formation in mesenteric arterioles, without prolonging tail-bleeding times.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates the feasibility of allele-selective Vwf-silencing in a heterozygous setting, achieving a controlled close to 50% reduction of plasma VWF. The observed thromboprotection and absence of prolonged bleeding times underline the potential of allele-selective Vwf-silencing as a therapeutic strategy in hemostatic disorders.

    Abstract Factor X (FX)-deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder manifesting a bleeding tendency caused by low FX activity levels. We aimed to explore the use of fitusiran (an investigational siRNA that silences antithrombin expression) to increase thrombin generation and the in vivo hemostatic potential under conditions of FX-deficiency. We therefore developed a novel model of inducible FX-deficiency, generating mice expressing <1% FX activity and antigen (f10low-mice). Compared to control f10WT-mice, f10low-mice had 6- and 4-fold prolonged clotting times in Prothrombin Time- and activated Partial Prothrombin Time-assays, respectively (p<0.001). Thrombin generation was severely reduced, irrespective whether tissue factor or factor XIa was used as initiator. In vivo analysis revealed near-absent thrombus formation in a laser-induced vessel injury-model. Furthermore, in two distinct bleeding models, f10low-mice displayed an increased bleeding tendency compared to f10WT-mice. In the tail-clip assay blood loss was increased from 12±16 microliter to 590±335 microliter (p<0.0001). In the saphenous vein puncture (SVP)-model, the number of clots generated was reduced from 19±5 clots/30 min for f10WT-mice to 2±2 clots/30 min (p<0.0001) for f10low-mice. In both models, bleeding was corrected upon infusion of purified FX. Treatment of f10low-mice with fitusiran (2x10 mg/kg at one-week interval) resulted in 17±6% residual antithrombin activity and increased thrombin generation (4-fold and 2-3-fold increase in endogenous thrombin potential and thrombin peak, respectively). In the SVP-model, the number of clots was increased to 8±6 clots/30 min (p=0.0029). Altogether, we demonstrate that reduction of antithrombin levels is associated with improved hemostatic activity under conditions of FX-deficiency.

    Abstract This report describes the first case of splenic injury in a patient with p.V1316M-associated von Willebrand disease type 2B (VWD2B) with chronic thrombocytopenia, successfully treated with nonoperative management including von Willebrand factor (VWF) replacement therapy, and platelet transfusions relayed by a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA, Eltrombopag). Eltrombopag was initially introduced to rescue an unusual post-platelet-transfusion reaction exacerbating the thrombocytopenia. In-depth analysis of the dramatic platelet count drop and VWF measurements timeline ruled out an allo-immune reaction and supported an alternative hypothesis of a sudden platelet clearance as a consequence of stress-induced release of abnormal VWF. One year later, a second life-threatening bleeding episode required urgent surgery successfully managed with VWF replacement therapy and platelet transfusions. Eltrombopag was further introduced in the post-surgery period to allow bleeding-free and platelet-transfusion-free successful recovery. Treatment decisions are particularly challenging in patients with VWD2B, and this case highlights how such decisions can benefit from understanding the molecular origin of platelet count fluctuations observed in these patients. Here, we successfully used a new therapeutic approach combining VWF-replacement therapy and initial platelet-transfusion relayed by TPO-RA to optimize patient management.
    Plain language summary: A combination of von Willebrand factor replacement and thrombopoietin receptor agonist in thrombocytopenic patients with von Willebrand disease type 2B: a new therapy approach to optimize patient management?Therapeutic management of patients with von Willebrand disease type 2B are particularly challenging in case of severe thrombocytopenia.Treatment includes von Willebrands factor replacement therapy and iterative platelet transfusions.We describe the first case of splenic injury in a patient with p.V1316M-associated von Willebrand disease type 2B successfully treated with nonoperative management including von Willebrand factor replacement therapy and platelet transfusions relayed by a thrombopoietin receptor agonist.We showed that the unusual post-platelet-transfusion reaction associated with a dramatic platelet count drop was a consequence of stress-induced release of abnormal von Willebrand factor.The combination of von Willebrand factor replacement therapy and thrombopoietin receptor agonist may offer a new therapeutic approach to optimize patient management.
