CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We therefore examined the associations between measures of subclinical atherosclerosis (carotid intima-media thickness, carotid cross-sectional wall area), large artery stiffness (pulse wave velocity) and a measure of endothelial dysfunction (von Willebrand factor [vWF]) with leptin in young healthy men and women. 30347447 2019
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The imbalance of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13) has been associated with atherosclerosis progression. 30181741 2018
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We determined the role of different pools of VWF in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. 29348121 2018
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Rosuvastatin increases LDL-EV coagulation proteins plasminogen and VWF in patients with subclinical atherosclerosis, an effect that is different from the effect of rosuvastatin on the same proteins in serum. 29898827 2018
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The VWF/ADAMTS13 axis is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, promoting plaque formation and inflammation through macrophage and neutrophil recruitment in inflamed lesions. 28634421 2017
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Based on the studies performed so far, it is assumed that IL-17 contributes to development of atherosclerosis by means of: stimulation of production of proinflammatory compounds; induction of apoptosis of endothelial cells and heart muscle cells; stimulation of von Willebrand factor production; and induction of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (atherosclerotic plaque rupture). 27696392 2017
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Elevated VWF levels are associated with an increased risk of ischemic cardiovascular events; however, it is unclear whether VWF deficiency is protective against atherosclerosis. 26368360 2015
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In this study, we conducted race by gender analyses to compare the association of VWF SNPs with VWF antigen among 10,434 healthy Americans of European (EA) or African (AA) descent from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. 24465435 2014
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The present review discusses the substrates of FXIIIa (activated FXIII) involved in thrombosis and wound healing with a particular focus on: (i) the influence of plasma FXIIIa on the formation of stable fibrin clots able to withstand mechanical and enzymatic breakdown through fibrin-fibrin cross-linking and cross-linking of fibrinolysis inhibitors, in particular α2-antiplasmin; (ii) the role of intracellular FXIIIa in clot retraction through cross-linking of platelet cytoskeleton proteins, including actin, myosin, filamin and vinculin; (iii) the role of intracellular FXIIIa in cross-linking the cytoplasmic tails of monocyte AT1Rs (angiotensin type 1 receptors) and potential effects on the development of atherosclerosis; and (iv) the role of FXIIIa on matrix deposition and tissue repair, including cross-linking of extracellular matrix proteins, such as fibronectin, collagen and von Willebrand factor, and the effects on matrix deposition and cell-matrix interactions. 23075332 2013
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE However, it remains unclear whether VWF is causally related to the occurrence of CHD or primarily mirrors endothelial dysfunction, which predisposes to atherosclerosis and subsequent CHD. 22568520 2012
CUI: C0003850
Disease: Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE However, as studies frequently differ in design, population and endpoint, and are often underpowered, it remains unclear whether VWF is causally related to the occurrence of arterial thrombosis or primarily mirrors endothelial dysfunction, which predisposes to atherosclerosis and subsequent arterial thrombosis. 21342431 2011
