hemostasis and coagulation Flashcards
endothelial cells
reversal of anti-thrombic properties
- anti-platelet effects
- anti-coagulant effect
- Fibrinolytic effect
platelets
formation of primary, secondary platelet plugs
coagulation cascade purpose
formation of fibrin
in resting state, intact endothelium….
inhibit binding and coagulation factor activation
anti-thrombic properties of endothelial cells
anti-coagulation effects
-membrane associated heparin-like molecules-> interact with anti-thrombin III to inactivate thrombin
thrombomodulin
tissue factor pathway inhibitor
thrombomodulin
binds thrombin to activated protein C
- inactivates Va and VIIIa
- requires protein S
antiplatelet effects of endothelial cells
- coverage of underlying ECM
- production of vasodilators: prostacyclin, NO
- adenosine disphosphate: degrades ADP
fibrinolytic effect of endothelial cells
synthesizes tissue-type plasminogen activator
-promotes fibrinolysis
what initiates blood coagulation?
- exposure of ECM (collagen)
- release of tissue factor
- activation of endothelium by bacterial products and cytokines
- stasis
platelet plus formation results from
activation of platelets and overcoming the anti-thrombotic effect of the endothelium
pro-thrombotic properties of endothelial cells
- production of vWF-> binding of platelets to ECM
- formation of tissue factor: bacterial endotoxin, cytokine (IL-1, TNF)
- secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitors
what promotes platelet aggregation and coagulation?
endothelial injury or activation
formation of platelet plug
- platelet adhesion
- platelet activation and secretion
- platelet aggregation
- platelet plug stabilization by fibrin
platelet adhesion
- binding to exposed collagen (ECM and basement membrane) by vWF bridging
- vWF
vWF
synthesized by endothelial cells (stored in Weilbel-Palade bodies)
-bridge binding collagen to platelet via gp1b receptor
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
defects vWF or gp1b result in decreased platelet adhesion
platelet activation and secretion
- Similar to other inflammatory cells: requires Ca, synthesis of thromboxane from a.a. release
- Alpha granules
- express P-selectin on their membrane
- contain fibrinogen, fibronectin, factors V and VIII, platelet factor 4 (a heparin-binding chemokine), beta-thrombomglobulin, PGDF, and TGF-beta - Dense bodies
- ADP, ATP
- ionized calcium
- histamine, serotonin
- epinephrine
activation of dense bodies causes
leads to expression of phospholipid complexes required for clotting factor assembly
stimulators of platelet aggregation
ADP
TxA2
Thrombin
ADP
highly potent mediator of platelet aggregation
TxA2
- production by platelets
- also causes vasoconstriction
thrombin
- formed by activation of coagulation cascade
- binds to thrombin receptors on platelets
