1 We tested the hypothesis that DDAVP induces vWF secretion by binding to V2R and activating cAMP-mediated signaling in endothelial cells. Cyclic AMP von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
2 vWF secretion from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) can be mediated by cAMP, but DDAVP is ineffective, presumably due to the absence of V2R. Cyclic AMP von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
3 We report that DDAVP stimulates vWF secretion in a cAMP-dependent manner in HUVECs after transfection of the V2R. Cyclic AMP von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
4 These results indicate that vasopressin induces cAMP-mediated vWF secretion by a direct effect on endothelial cells. Cyclic AMP von Willebrand factor Homo sapiens
