Q

Anticoagulant properties of endothelial cells

A
  • Heparin sulfated proteoglycans –> bind AT –> inactivates thrombin
  • Negative charge
  • Thrombomidulin: binds with thrombin –> activates protein C–> aProC+ aProS–> irreversibly cleave FVa + FVIIIa–> no more thrombin generation

AND aProC-ProS –> inactivates PAI-1 (resuling in creased fibrinolysis)

  • TFPI –> irreversibly binds FXa –> Making TFPI, FXa, FVIIa, TF complex –> prevent further activation/formation of thrombin

Q

Function of thrombin

A

thrombin = FII

Propagation
- activates plt, FXIa & FVa
-Cleaves vWF off FVIII–> FVIIIa & increased platelets

Amplification
- Binds thrombomodulin on EC surface –> activates TAFI & aPrC–> aPrC + PrS
- Cleaves fibrinopeptide A from fibrinogen –> fibrin

  3. Decreased endogenous anticoags (AT, ProC & TFPI primarily)
  4. Decreased fibrinolysis (decreased tPA)
60
Q

TFPI

A

“Tissue factor pathway inhibitor”
- inhibits fVIIa-TF complex & fXa (all of extrinsic pathway)
- released from endo cells primarily but also platelets, mononucs, vascular smooth m and cardiac myocytes, fibroblasts & megakaryocytes

61
Q

Protein C

A

inhibits fVa & VIIIa
- activated (APC) when trace amounts thrombin bind TM on endothelium of microcirculation
- In presence of protein S APC inhibitions of Va & VIIIa is accelerated by 20x
- Protein C system less functional during inflammation due to decreased hepatic synthesis of Protein C & S, inflamm cytokines effect endothelium and TM which inhibits activation of ProC

62
Q

Antithrombin

A
  • inhibits thrombin and FXa, less so F XIIa, XI, IXa & fVIIa-TF complex
  • Most effects when bound to heparin sulfate and/or exogenous heparins
  • Decreased in systemic inflammation or critical illness by consumption (increased thrombin production), decreased production (neg acute phase pro) or degradation by norepi

67
Q

Mechanisms of hypercoaguable state of illness

A
  1. Endothelial disturbances (decreased GAGs, endothelial activation by TNF𝛂, bradykinin, thrombin, histamine, and vascular endothelial growth factor leading to release of weibel palade bodies)
  2. Increased procaog elements (increased TF on monos & macs & neoplastic cells, TF perpetuates inflammation via activating NFKb → increased production TNF𝛂, increased microparticle release from apoptotic cells, NETs for antimicrobial purposes may have procoag effects)
  3. Decreased Anticoag elements (decreased AT due to consumption, degraded by norepi and neg acute phase protein, TNF𝛂 downregulates TM –> decreased protein C activation, AND elastase from endotox activated neus cleaves TM from endo cells, decreased TFPI due to decreased Protein S which acts as cofactor for FXa inhib)
  4. Perterbations in fibrinolysis (TNF𝛂 & IL-1𝛃 cause delayed but sustained increase of PAI-1 compared to tPA → increased plasminogen → DEcreased fibrinolysis and persistence of thrombi
68
