23
Q

platelet aggregration

A
  • autocatylitic release of ADP and thromboxane A2 to build a platelet aggregate
  • platelets bind to each other through bidirectional binding of fibrinogen to GpIIb-IIIa
  • initial aggregation forms primary hemostatic plug (reversible)
  • FURTHER activation results from contraction platelets to from secondary hemostatic plug (irreversible)
24
Q

what stabilizes platelet plug?

A

fibrin

25
Q

platelet stabilzation

A
  • fibrin binds to gp IIb/IIIa
  • cleavage of fibrinogen by thrombin (end result of coagulation cascade)
  • entrapment of RBC’s and leukocytes that contribute to local inflammatory reaction
  • generation of fibrin split products by the action of plasmin results in further chemotaxis of neutrophils
26
Q

summary of platelet aggregation

A
  • platelets adhere at sites of endothelial injury and become activated
  • activated platelets secrete granule contents (ADP, fibrinogen, Ca) and synthesize thromboxane
  • after formation of primary hemostatic plug, platelets contract to form secondary hemostatic plug (aggregation)
  • stabilization and anchoring of platelet plug by formation of fibrin
27
Q

how are most coagulation factors found?

A

circulating in an inactivated serine protease

28
Q

coagulation cascade requires

A

complexing with phospholipids and Ca (surface of activated platelets)

29
Q

extrinsic system

A

formation of activated factor VII

  • activation of VII by tissue factor (tissue or endothelial cell injury)
  • probably most important in vivo
30
Q

intrinsic system

A

formation of activated factor IX

  • activation of Hageman factor XIII
  • sequential activation of XI and IX
  • activation of factor X by IXa requires factor VIIIa as a co-factor
  • hereditary absence of VIII or IX results in hemophilia
  • factor IX can also be activated by VIIa
31
Q

common pathway of pro-thrombin activation

A

X/V/II

  • activation of X by VIIa or IXa
  • activation of II (prothrombin) by Xa and activated Co-factor V

A
  • Factor VIIa

- Factor IXa+VIIIa

35
Q

prothrombin to thrombin

A

Factor Xa in presence of co-factor Va
Xa/Va= IIa (10/5=2)
thrombin (IIa)

36
Q

thrombin

A
  • Cleaves fibrinogen to form fibrin
  • Activates co-factors VIII and V
  • Activates factor XIII that cross-links fibrin
  • Binds to thrombomodulin to activate protein C-> thus inhibiting further thrombin synthesis
37
Q

how does thrombin act on cells?

A

via protease-activated receptors (PAR’s) that are linked to G protein (7-spanning receptor family)

  • clips the ends of the receptors to result in conformation change of the receptor
  • induced local inflammatory cell effects
38
Q

local inflammatory cell effects from thrombin

A
  • aggregation of platelets
  • expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules
  • secretion of NO, PGI2, tPA, and PDGF by endothelial cells
  • activation of neutrophil, monocytes
39
Q

fibrinolytic cascade

A

activation of plasminogen by plasminogen activator to form plasmin

  • PAI-1 inhibits this process
  • plasmin degradation of fibrin
  • allows for eventual dissolution of clot
40
Q

what does plasmin do?

A

degrades fibrin to fibrin degradation products

  • chemotaxis
  • measure of ongoing activation of coagulation system-> DIC
41
Q
