Q

Receptors for EPO and HPO release

A

EPoR and MPL

22
Q

Cells that express receptors for EPO vs HPO

A

EPoR expressed by pluripotent stem cell, RBC precursors

MP: pluripotent stem cells, platelets, all hematopoietic cell lines

23
Q

Erythropoietin’s effect

A

causes daughter cells in Erythroid cell line to undergo mitosis

24
Q

Thrombopoietin’s effect

A

increases division and maturation of all blood cell lineages

25
Q

Hemostasis: step 1

A

MYOGENIC spasm induces vascular occlusion.

occurs spontaneously in response to injury, no neurons or reflexes involved

26
Q

Platelet factors include

A

serotonin and thromboxane A2 contribute to spasm

27
Q

“contributing factors” to the vascular spasm (step 1 of hemostasis)

A

neural reflex from nociceptors (mechanical response)

not sufficient or necessary for spasm to occur, minor contribution

28
Q

Hemostasis Step 2: overview of steps

A

formation of the platelet plug followed by binding of platelets to exposed collagen (two step process)

29
Q

Hemostatic plug formation step 2: platelet activity

A

a. binds to exposed collagen at site of injury using VWF

 1. uses Von Willebrand Factor 
 2. plasma protein 
 3. bind between collagen and platelet receptor 

b. platelet integrin receptor binding to collagen

30
Q

during the second phase of a hemostatic plug formation, what do platelets do upon activation?

A
  1. swell and extend podocytes
  2. contraction
  3. granules leave platelet
  4. platelets stick to vessel wall and each other
31
Q

What do thromboxane A2 and ADP do

A

they are released during self aggregation of platelets

32
Q

Hemostasis Step 3: role and steps

A

blood coagulation

  1. formation of prothrombin activator
  2. thrombin activation
  3. conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin

leading to CLOT RETRACTION

33
Q

Hemostasis step 3: Clot Retraction

A

This step gets rid of excess fluid in the clot to solidify it.
Platelets are required (to bind fibrin together, as well as their actin/myosin platelet contractions)
also requires calcium

34
Q

Hemostasis step 4

Repair of damage

A

Repair of damage

Platelet secretion of Platelet derived fibroblast growth factor

stimulates fibroblasts to grow into area

fibroblasts grow into smooth muscle etc to close the hole

35
Q

Getting rid of the clot

A

achieved by plasminogen
floating freely in blood

tPA: tissue plasminogen activator, released by damaged tissues.

tPAi: inhibits tPA, in the blood

36
Q

Thrombomodulin is located on the

A

endothelial cell, and bind thrombin

37
Q

Thrombomodulin activates thrombin on the endothelial cell: what does it activate

A

Protein C, which inactivates tPAi, allowing tPA to activate Plasminogen from zymogen form: Plasminogen —> Plasmin

plasmin lysis fibrin

38
Q

Prevention of Clotting: the role of smooth surfaces

A

prevents platelets from rupturing

39
Q

Prevention of clotting: the role of membrane proteins

A

endothelial cell glycocalyx repels platelets

thrombomodulin activates thrombin

40
Q

Chemicals which limit clotting (4)

A
  1. Fibrin: binds thrombin and prevents it working
  2. Prostacyclin (PG12) made by injured cells, limits platelet aggregation
  3. Antithrombin III: binds and prevents thrombin from working
  4. Heparin: made from mast cells, increases efficacy of antithrombin
41
Q

Protein C

A

Inhibits tPAi AND inactivates the VIIIa–Va complex responsible for activating prothrombin

42
Q

what is the outcome of TPO being internalized by platelets?

A

they are destroyed, so they cant stimulate other hematopoietic cell lines

43
Q

mpl biochemical pathway

A

JAK/STAT

JAK2 activated —> STATs 1, 3, 5 activated (Stat 1/3 dimerize, stat 5 homodimerizes

44
Q

TPO actions on megakaryocytes, platelets, and other hormone interactions

A

causes SIZE and NUMBER of megakaryocytes to increase

causes platelet specific markers to develop

stimulates endomitosis and polyploidy of megakaryocytes

works with erythropoietin to stimulate RBC production
works with IL-3, or Steel Factor to upregulate RBC and WBC factors to differentiate

45
Q

Platelets: actin and myosin?

A

just like in skeletal muscle, they have cross bridges that undergo cycling causing contraction of the cell

they help SQUEEZE extra fluid out of clot

help empty vesicles

46
Q

Cyclooxygenase (COX 1)

A

enzyme that catalyzes production of thromboxane A2. prostaglandins

47
Q

Fibrin Stabilizing Factor

A

XIII, causes covalent bonds to form between fibrin monomers

48
Q

platelet derived growth factor

A

aids in repair of damaged tissue

49
Q

what does Thromboxane do exactly?

A

binds to GPCR on smooth muscle and triggering calcium release

causes an increase in IP3

causes release of calcium from intracellular stores of the smooth muscle cell

50
Q

how is the platelet held in place during clot formation?

A

two points of contact: von willebrand factor between collagen and platelet, and integrins on the platelets interacting with the collagen
