The combination that triggers secondary hemostasis
- Polar phospholipid exposure on activated platelets
- Platelet fragmentation with cellular microparticle release
- Secretion of the platelet’s alpha grange and dense granule contents
Sequence of events of secretion
- STRs
- GP VI
- Intermediate filaments
- Actin microfilament
- Alpha granules
- Lysosomes
- Dense granules
- Phosphatidylserine
Is disrupted and exposed during blood vessel injury
Collagen
Is released when endothelial cells become
damaged, then adheres to the site of injury;
Under shear stress, it becomes thread-like
as it unrolls and exposes sites that weakly
bind the GPIbα portion of the GP Ib/IX/V
receptor
vWF
Platelet membrane receptor in adhesion
GP Ib/IX/V
A liver-secreted plasma enzyme which
digests larger vWF multimers into smaller, less biologically active forms; Localizes the
platelet-vWF interaction
ADAMTS-13
Collagen binding to ______ triggers internal platelet activation pathways, releasing TXA2 and ADP, an outside-in reaction
GP VI
Are agonists that bind to the receptors TPα
and TPβ and P2Y1 and P2Y12 ,
respectively, for ADP that triggers an
inside-out reaction that raises the affinity of
integrin α2β1 for collagen
TXA2 and
ADP
STRs of adhesion
TPα and TPβ
P2Y1 and P2Y12
Increased affinity for collagen
α2β1
Blood vessel injury exposes these and are expressed on subendothelial smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts; Triggers the production of thrombin
Tissue factor
Cleaves platelet PAR1 and PAR4
Thrombin
STRs of aggregation
PAR1 and PAR4
“collagen and thrombin activated” platelets; Generated by the activation of thrombin formation
COAT platelet
Are platelet activators that is secreted from the platelet granules to the microenvironment, where they activate neighboring platelets through their respective receptors and trigger inside-out activation of integrin αIIbβ3 (GP IIb/IIIa receptor)
TXA2 and ADP
Binds to the RGD sequences of fibrinogen and vWF; Supports platelet-to-platelet binding
GP IIb/IIIa receptor
Moves from the alpha granule membrane to the surface membrane to promote binding of platelets with leukocytes
P-selectin
The more polar phospholipid molecules flip to the outer layer; Platelets change in shape from discoid to round and extend pseudopods
Phosphatidylserine
