Intima factors
endothelial layer
vwf
tissue factor

media factors
subendothelial layer
collagen
fibronectin
Undamaged endothelium does not express
Tissue factor or collagen
Endothelial cells modulate hemostasis by synthesizing and secreting:
Procoagulants (initiators of coagulation)
Anticoagulants (inhibitors of coagulation)
Fibrinolytics (to dissolve the clot)
Endothelial cells release mediators….
Vasoconstrictors
Vasodilators- NO
von Willebrand factor (vWF) do what….
Adherence of platelets to the subendothelial layer
Tissue factor does what
Activates the clotting cascade pathway when injury to the vessel occurs
Some of these mediators control blood flow by vasoconstriction
thromboxane A2, adenosine diphosphate [ADP])
control blood flow by vasodilation
nitric oxide, prostacyclin
Coagulation factors function
Coagulation
Collagen function
Tensile strength
Fibronectin function
Mediates cell adhesion
Thrombomodulin function
Regulates anticoagulation pathway
Antithrombin III function
Degrades factors XII, XI, X, IX, II
Tissue pathway factor inhibitor function
Inhibits tissue factor
Plasminogen function
Converts to plasmin
tPA function
Activates plasmin
Urokinase function
Activates plasmin
Vasoconstiction mediators
serotonin, Thromboxane A2
adenosine diphosphate
Nitric Oxide function
Vasodilates, promotes smooth muscle relaxation
Prostacyclin function
Vasodilates, inhibits aggregation, promotes smooth muscle relaxation
media collagen function
A potent and important stimulus for platelet attachment to the injured vessel wall
media fibronectin function
Facilitates the anchoring of fibrin during the formation of a hemostatic plug
Adventitia Controls blood flow by ….
influencing the vessel’s degree of contraction
The endothelial cells produce ….
nitric oxide and prostacyclin, which influence the adventitia
Nitric oxide’s ability to influence and promote smooth-muscle relaxation results in …..
vascular vasodilation
Once the vessel vasodilates, the increase in blood flow limits the activity of procoagulant mediators by…..
simply washing the procoagulant mediators away
Nitric Oxide Synthesis occurs where and how
This metabolic reaction occurs within the endothelial lining
Under the influence of nitric oxide synthetase (NOS), L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide
NO -> activates soluble guanylate cyclase, subsequently producing a second messenger, cyclic guanosine monophosphate, that causes muscle relaxation
Eicosanoids refered to as
Collectively referred to as prostanoids or eicosanoids
Prostacyclin
Leukotriene
Thromboxane
Prostacyclin is a …..
lipid molecule produced in the endothelial cells from prostaglandin
A powerful vasodilator, prostacyclin also interferes with platelet formation and aggregation
smm eicosanoids factors
prostaglandins
PGE2
PGF2
4 Phases of Hemostasis and Coagulation
Vascular phase (Vascular spasm)
Primary hemostasis (Formation of platelet plug)
Secondary hemostasis (Coagulation and formation of fibrin)
Fibrinolysis (Lysis of clot)
Vascular Phase
spasm/constrict of smm done by endothelins -> fibroblasts
Vasoconstriction “may” slow down or stop bleeding
Localized in injured area
Primary Hemostasis
happens after spaces -> attract plat -> plat plug
Initiates the phases of platelet formation….
Adherence
Activation
Aggregation
Where are plat located in the bv
they tend to be pushed aside, strategically positioned near the vessel-wall surface where they can then “react” in the event of injury
plat formation , life span’ concentration
They are formed in the bone marrow from megakaryocytes
Maintain a concentration count of approximately 150,000 to 300,000/mm3
1-2 weeks lifespan
plat cleared by….
Cleared by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system and the spleen
Spleen sequesters up to 1/3 of the circulating PLT for later us
Glycoproteins responsibility
Adheres to injured endothelium, collagen and fibribogen
GpIb sticks/attaches PLT to vWF
GpIIb-IIIa complex links activated PLT together to form a plug
Gp2b, 3a inhibitor mediations
ranexa, integrelin
Phospholipids responsibility
Substrates to prostaglandin synthesis
Produce thromboxane A2 which activates PLT
Actin and myosin
responsibility
Contraction to form the PLT plug
Thrombosthenin responsibiilty
PLT contraction
ADP responsiblity
PLT activation and aggregation
Calcium responsbility
Plays a role in the coagulation cascade
Fibrin-stabilizing factor
responsbility
Cross links fibrin
Serotonin responsibility
Activates nearby PLT
Growth factor responsiblity
Repairs damaged vessel walls
Adherence
vWF mobilizes from within the endothelial cells and emerges from the endothelial lining
Glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) receptors emerge from the surface of the platelet
The purpose of GpIb is to attach to vWF and attract platelets to the endothelial lining
vWF makes platelets “sticky” and allows them to adhere to the site of injury
Activation
tissue factor ->conformational transformation-> activated
Structure swells and becomes oval and irregular
From the platelet surface, two other major glycoproteins, IIb and IIIa, project themselves outward
The purpose of the GpIIb-IIIa receptor complex is to link other activated platelets together in an effort to form a primary platelet plug
When this action is complete, the platelets seal and heal the site of injury within the blood vessel
Aggregation
As platelets undergo this metamorphosis, they release the alpha and dense granules, the contractile granules, thrombin, and many important mediators into the blood in an effort to promote procoagulant activity
These mediators are responsible for platelet aggregation to form a primary unstable clot
When injury is minute and less threatening, this primary plug is enough to maintain hemostasis
When the injury is large, activation of the coagulation clotting cascade is required for permanent repair to create and stabilize a secondary clot to cease bleeding
fibrin production requires….
all the clotting factors
