Intrinsic and Extrinsic Coagulation Pathways (choudhury) Flashcards
hemostasis
regulated process that maintains blood in a fluid state
thrombosis
pathological counterpart of hemostasis, results in clot within vessels
5 major events in physiological clotting
1) Initial vascular injury
2) Primary hemostasis
3) Secondary hemostasis
4) Antithrombosis
5) Fibrinolysis
What properties do endothelial cells exhibit normally
Antiplatelet
Anticoagulant
fibrinolytic
Antiplatelet properties of endothelial cells
NO
PGI2
Adenosine Diphosphatase
make sure platelets don’t stick
Anticoagulant properties of endothelial cells
Heparin Sulfate
Thrombomodulin
Protein S
TFPI
Fibrinolytic properties of endothelial cells
t-PA
this is a protease secreted by endothelium that cleaves plasminogen to form plasmin
plasmin then cleaves fibrin into FDP, essentially degrading thrombi
Hemostasis and thrombosis involves
Endothelium (vascular wall)
Platelets
Coagulation cascade
Fibrinolysis
NO
vasodilator antiplatelet aggregator (platelets don't stick to endothelial membrane)
Layers of normal endothelium
Innermost Endothelial cells ECM Smooth muscle layer outer connective tissue layer outermost
PGI2
Prostacyclin
anti platelet component of endothelial cells
vasodilator in lungs/blood vessels
ADP phosphatase
degrades ADP and inhibit platelet adhesion and aggregation
Heparin Sulphate (HS)
Anticoagulant of endothelial cells
HS hooks onto antithrombin III (AT III) and activated AT III
AT III inactivates Thrombin, Factor 10, Factor 9a
Thrombomodulin (TM)
Anticoagulant property
binds to thrombin and converts it form procoagulant into anticoagulant via thrombin’s ability to activate protein C
Protein C activated inhibits factors 5 and 8
What does Protein C require
Cofactor protein S
Protein S
Cofactor for Protein C
necessary for anticoagluant effects of protein C
TFPI
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor
anticoagulant property of endothelial
directly inhibits factor 7 and 10
when is a platelet plug formed
primary homeostasis
this is a temporary patch formed at endothelial injury site
what occurs during homeostasis
the initial platelet plug is enlarged and stabilized by adding a structural matrix of fibrin (coagulation) to form a coagulum or “clot”
Antithrombosis
Once a stable and effective clot forms then additional clot formation has to cease
Fibrinolysis
last major step in hemostasis to remove clot and restore normal blood flow through the vessel
phospholipid platform
Formed during secondary hemostasis
activated platelets undergo conformation change exposing a phospholipid-rich portion of the platelet surface cell membrane
this platform dramatically accelerates fibrin production by bringing in close proximity the enzymatic rxns of the intrinsic/common pathways
Thrombosis
results from impairment in ability to limit/terminate clot propagation
Initial vascular injury (what happens)
Transient vasconstriction and vasospasm
ECM is exposed
vWF produced by endothelial cells, acts as vital link “glue” for platelet adherence and activation
fibrinogen (factor 1)
plasma protein produced by the liver
“bridges” between platelets
allows for platelet aggregation
converted to fibrin by thrombin
calcium
without calcium would not be able to form any coagulation
