A genetically-engineered von Willebrand disease type 2B mouse model displays defects in hemostasis and inflammation

Abstract: von Willebrand disease (VWD)-type 2B is characterized by gain-of-function mutations in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) A1-domain, leading to increased affinity for its platelet-receptor, glycoprotein Ibα. We engineered the first knock-in (KI) murine model for VWD-type 2B by introducing the p.V1316M mutation in murine VWF. Homozygous KI-mice replicated human VWD-type 2B with macrothrombocytopenia (platelet counts reduced by 55%, platelet volume increased by 44%), circulating platelet-aggregates and a severe ble… Show more

“…The presence of giant platelets in type 2B mutant vWF/p.V1316M (hereafter referred to simply as 2B) mice has been previously associated with reduced platelet counts (17). Platelet parameters of 2B mice are depicted in Table 1: the mean platelet volume (MPV) was increased by 44% compared with WT.…”

“…The VWD-type 2B knockin mouse model (p.V1316M) has been described elsewhere (17). Mice homozygous for the p.V1316M mutation are referred to as 2B mice and their control littermates as WT mice.…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8] Moreover, although the underlying biology remains unexplained, the animal data further suggest that the relative importance of these discrete VWF-mediated pathways varies between different types of inflammation. Further insights into the role played by VWF in regulating leukocyte extravasation and endothelial cell permeability and the complex cross-talk that exists in vivo between hemostasis and inflammation will undoubtedly emerge in the near future.…”
