Alternative trafficking of Weibel‐Palade body proteins in CRISPR/Cas9‐engineered von Willebrand factor–deficient blood outgrowth endothelial cells
1 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Synthesis of the hemostatic protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) drives formation of endothelial storage organelles called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). In the absence of VWF, angiogenic and inflammatory mediators that are costored in WPBs are subject to alternative trafficking routes. In patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD), partial or complete absence of VWF/WPBs may lead to additional bleeding...
