Combined Hemostasis Flashcards
Extrinsic pathway
tissue factor pathway
intrinsic pathway
contact activation pathway
extrinsic tenase
7a, TF –> 10 or 9 + anionic phospholipid + Ca
Intrinsic tenase
9a, 8a –> 10 + anionic phospholipid + Ca
Prothrombinase
5a, 8a –> prothrombin + anionic phospholipid + Ca
Protein C complex
thrombin, thrombomodulin –> protein C + anionic phospholipid + Ca
Initiation
1) Tissue injury exposes TF
2) Circulating 7 binds to TF and becomes activated
3) TF/7a complex (extrinsic 10ase) activates 10 or 9
4) 10a binds to 5a (prothrombinase) activates prothrombin
Amplification
1) Thrombin activates 5, 8, 11 while 7a/TF activates 9
2) 9a binds to 8a (intrinsic 10ase) activates 10 to make more thrombin
Propagation
1) Thrombin convert fibrinogen → fibrin which undergoes polymerization
2) Thrombin activates 13
3) 13a crosslinks and strengthens overlapping fibrin strands
Antithrombin
SERPIN; inactivates 7a, 9a, 10a, 11a
Heparin is co-factor
Protein C pathway
1) thrombomodulin induces conformational change in thrombin
2) altered thrombin not able to activate platelets or convert fibrinogen to fibrin but can activate protein C
3) activated protein C with protein S (cofactor) inactivates 5a and 8a
TFPI
single chain polypeptide reversibly inhibit 10a and 7a-TF complex
Fibrinolysis
1) plasminogen (proenzyme) activated by conversion to plasmin by either
a. t-PA secreted from vascular endothelial cells
b. u-PA secreted from many cells
2) Plasmin cleaves fibrin at multiple sites releasing fibrin degradation products (D-dimer) → 2 D domains from adjacent fibrin monomers
1) PAI-1
inactivates t-PA and u-PA
2) Alpha 2 antiplasmin
inactivates plasmin
3) TAFI
acts on fibrin by cleaving terminal residues reducing binding sites for plasminogen
Heparin and LMWK
activate antithrombin → inhib 10a and thrombin
