BACKGROUND: Patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) often experience bleeding associated with acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) when the platelet count is markedly increased.
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether von Willebrand factor (VWF) degradation is enhanced in patients with ET.
METHODS: Seventy patients with ET underwent VWF multimer (VWFM) analysis and measurement of VWF-related parameters. We calculated the VWFM index, defined as the ratio of intensities of a patient's molecular weight-categorized VWFMs, and those of a healthy subject's, using densitometric analysis. VWF degradation product (DP) was measured via ELISA using a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes Y1605 at the C-terminal boundary, which is exposed following ADAMTS13-mediated cleavage of the Y1605-M1606 bond of the VWF A2 domain.
RESULTS: Patients with higher platelet counts had a significantly reduced high molecular weight (HMW)-VWFM index and an increased VWF-DP:VWF antigen (Ag) ratio compared to those with lower platelet counts. On multivariate analysis, the VWF-DP/VWF:Ag ratio was an independent predictor of the HMW-VWFM index. Patients who underwent cytoreductive therapy had a significantly higher HMW-VWFM index and lower VWF-DP/VWF:Ag ratio than those who did not. Among individual patients, there was also a significant increase in the HMW-VWFM index and a decrease in the VWF-DP/VWF:Ag ratio after cytoreductive therapy compared to pre-therapy values.
CONCLUSION: In patients with ET, an increased platelet count is associated with enhanced cleavage of VWF at the Y1605-M1606 bond, primarily by ADAMTS13, leading to AVWS. Cytoreductive therapy reduces the platelet count, prevents excessive VWF cleavage, and improves VWFM distributions.
