- ABO blood group in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: influence in the site of thrombosis?(2015) NASCIMENTO, Natalia Mastantuono; BYDLOWSKI, Sergio Paulo; SOARES, Rosangela Paula Silva; ANDRADE, Danieli Castro Oliveira de; BONFA, Eloisa; SEGURO, Luciana Parente Costa; BORBA, Eduardo FerreiraAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by vascular thrombosis and/or obstetric complications associated with presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) but additional factors would also induce thrombosis. ABO (H) blood groups are known to be closely related to thrombosis, especially non-O blood type with venous events. The aim of this study was to investigate possible role of ABO (H) blood types in the thrombotic events in primary APS (PAPS). Seventy PAPS patients were selected for the study and were divided according to ABO blood group in: O PAPS (n = 26) and non-O PAPS (n = 44). ABO blood group phenotyping was performed by indirect technique. aPL anticardiolipin (aCL) and anti-beta eta2 glycoprotein-1 (a beta 2GPI) and the concentrations and activities of von Willebrand factor (VWF) were measured with ELISA. Lupus anticoagulant (LA) was detected by coagulation assays. A significant higher frequency of venous events was observed in non-O PAPS group (72.7 vs. 46.2 %, p = 0.040). In contrast, the frequency of arterial events was significantly higher in the O PAPS compared to the non-O PAPS group (69.2 vs. 36.4 %, respectively; p = 0.013). Frequencies of aCL, LA, a beta 2GPI and triple aPL positivity were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). VWF antigen (75.54 +/- A 8.68 vs. 79.51 +/- A 7.07 IU/dl, p = 0.041) and activity (70.23 +/- A 11.96 vs. 77.92 +/- A 13.67 %, p = 0.020) were decreased in O PAPS compared to non-O blood group. VWF:CB/VWF:Ag ratio was similar among groups (p > 0.05). This is the first report that confirms the role of ABO blood system in thrombosis of PAPS and suggests that non-O blood group was related with venous events and O blood group with arterial thrombosis.
conferenceObject Flow-dependent Cardiac Dysfunction and Pressure-dependent Endothelial Activation in Patients With Atrial Septal Defect(2013) MAEDA, Nair Y.; COSTA, Henrique G.; SIQUEIRA, Adailson W.; SOARES, Rosangela P.; MESQUITA, Sonia; BYDLOWSKI, Sergio P.; MIURA, Nana; LOPES, Antonio A.- Optimization of von Willebrand factor multimer analysis in vertical mini-gel electrophoresis systems: A rapid procedure(2019) THOMAZINI, Camila Martos; SOARES, Rosangela de Paula Silva; ROCHA, Tania Rubia Flores da; SACHETTO, Ana Teresa Azevedo; SANTORO, Marcelo LaramiVon Willebrand disease (VWD) is a common cause of bleeding worldwide. Analysis of von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer distribution (VWF:MD) is essential to properly classify and treat different types of VWD, and it is performed using a SDS agarose gel electrophoresis followed by Western blotting, a handmade technique that demands days to be completed and requires skillful execution. Aiming both to facilitate gel production and to shorten the preparation time, we developed an uncomplicated technique to provide agility in the analysis of VWF:MD, so that it can be easily accomplished in the routine practice of hemostasis laboratories. On that account, we used a commercial vertical mini-gel electrophoresis system for SDS-PAGE and a semi-dry transfer system, which allowed us to analyze VWF:MD of various samples in a period shorter than 12 h. This technique differentiated VWF:MD in human and animal plasmas under normal, congenital and acquired (experimental envenomation by Bothrops jararaca snake) conditions. This optimized method is cheap, rapid, reproducible, easy to be performed, and uses electrophoresis and Western blotting systems available in most laboratories. All these advantages encourage hemostasis professionals to use it in their routine practices. In order to facilitate the setup and accomplishment of the whole procedure step by step, videos were appended to the article.
- Plasma von Willebrand factor as a predictor of survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease(2011) LOPES, A. A.; BARRETO, A. C.; MAEDA, N. Y.; CICERO, C.; SOARES, R. P. S.; BYDLOWSKI, S. P.; RICH, S.Biomarkers have been identified for pulmonary arterial hypertension, but are less well defined for specific etiologies such as congenital heart disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CHDPAH). We measured plasma levels of eight microvascular dysfunction markers in CHDPAH, and tested for associations with survival. A cohort of 46 inoperable CHDPAH patients (age 15.0 to 60.2 years, median 33.5 years, female: male 29: 17) was prospectively followed for 0.7 to 4.0 years (median 3.6 years). Plasma levels of von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF:Ag), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and its inhibitor (PAI-1), P-selectin, reactive C-protein, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-6 and -10 were measured at baseline, and at 30, 90, and 180 days in all subjects. Levels of six of the eight proteins were significantly increased in patients versus controls (13 to 106% increase, P < 0.003). Interleukin-10 level was 2.06 times normal (P = 0.0003; Th2 cytokine response). Increased levels of four proteins (t-PA, PAI-1, P-selectin, and interleukin-6) correlated with disease severity indices (P < 0.05). Seven patients died during follow-up. An average VWF: Ag (mean of four determinations) above the level corresponding to the 95th percentile of controls (139 U/dL) was independently associated with a high risk of death (hazard ratio = 6.56, 95% CI = 1.46 to 29.4, P = 0.014). Thus, in CHDPAH, microvascular dysfunction appears to involve Th2 inflammatory response. Of the biomarkers studied, plasma vWF:Ag was independently associated with survival.
