THE COAGULATION CASCADE Flashcards
All components are found in the [?].
circulating blood
To be activated, the blood must have direct contact with a foreign object such as a [?].
damaged blood vessel or glass
This results to absorption of [?] to the negatively- charged collagen exposed by vessel wall damage.
XII
- [?] is activated by the foreign material into [?]
Factor XII
XIIa
- [?] reacts weakly with [?], thus converting them into their forms
XIla
XI, prekallikrein (also by XIIf), and plasminogen
• Formed kallikrein feeds back to [?] and causes enzymatic cleavage producing more [?].
XII
XIla
- Xla in the presence of Ca** activates [?]
IX
• Note: IX can also be activated by [?]:
(CURRENT CONCEPT OF COAGULATION)
VIla-Ca*-TF complex
- IXa in the presence of [?] activates Х.
Catt, platelet phospholipids, and Villa
[?] is necessary for the activation of this system.
TISSUE FACTOR
All cells with the possible exception of those in the blood, contain [?].
tissue factor
When injury occurs, the [?] is released and acts as a cofactor in initiating coagulation.
tissue factor
The released [?] binds to VII and activates it to VIla.
tissue factor
Then [?] activates X to Xa of the common pathway.
VIla , together with calcium,
Begins with activation of factor X via the Intrinsic Pathway (?) or via the Extrinsic Pathway (?) to form Prothrombinase/[?].
IXaVIlla-Ca++-PL
VIla-Ill-Ca++
Xa-Va-Ca++-PPL
This prothrombinase complex converts [?] to thrombin which then cleaves [?] into fibrin.
prothrombin
fibrinogen
Conversion of Fibrinogen to Fibrin: STEPS:
1. Thrombin cleaves the a and B chains only (releasing [?]) forming soluble fibrin monomer/unstable gel.
2. Fibrin monomers aggregate spontaneously end to end, side to side to form soluble fibrin polymers thus vulnerable to enzyme [?] (also soluble in [?]).
3. [?] crosslinks adjacent fibrin monomers by forming COVALENT bonds to form stable and insoluble clot
fibrinopeptides A and B
plasmin; 5M urea
Factor XIII: XIlla + Ca++
What activates factor XIII to XIIIa?
Thrombin or Collagen
The key initiating step is the exposure of TF to the circulation and reaction of [?].
TF with factor VII
The [?] can enzymatically activate factors X and IX.
TF-factor/VIla complex
The initial activation of factor X to Xa may be important in getting the coagulation cascade started, however, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFP) rapidly inactivates the [?].
TF-VIla-Xa complex
The major action of the TFVIla complex in vivo is the activation of [?], which then activates [?].
factor IX to IXa
factor X to Xa
Consequently, [?] is converted to thrombin, then [?] is converted to fibrin.
prothrombin
fibrinogen
Factors [?] have positive feedback activity on earlier steps of the cascade
Xa and IIa
Activation of Coagulation
• It is [?]
autocatalytic or self-perpetuating
• Low level of thrombin activates [?] and [?]; Induces [?]
V and VIII
XIlI and XI
platelet aggregation
Inhibitor to Coagulation
• Controls
excessive coagulation
• Increase concentration of thrombin; destroys [?]; activates [?]
V and VIII
Protein C
increase plasminogen activation
Protein C and S
Promote plasmin generation (fibrinolysis)
Thrombin
: activates VIII to VIIIa
Factor II, X, residual thrombin (low level)
: activates FV
Thrombin, residual thrombin (low level)
: inhibits FV and VIII
residual thrombin (high level)
- regulatory mechanism to stop the cascade
inhibits FV and VIII
- continuous activation slows down the cascade
inhibits FV and VIII
- Thrombin is a very powerful protein that can activate many factor (FIX, FVII, FXIII)
inhibits FV and VIII
- to stop intrinsic pathway from accessing FX; FX will not be able to activate another thrombin/prothrombin to become thrombin
inhibits FV and VIII
: - forms soluble fibrin to insoluble fibrin
Fibrin XIIIa
- stabilizes the clot
Fibrin XIIIa
- soluble clot only forms fibrin meshwork (does not activate)
Fibrin XIIIa
may activate XII to XIIa
FXII + negative surface, Platelet
: procoagulant
Platelet
activates prekallikrein to kallikrein
FXII
activates HMWK to kinin (for the release of bradykinin. w/c participates in inflammation and pain cessation)
Kallikrein
activated form of HMW
kinin
uses HMWK as a cofactor to activate more FXII (feedback; autocatalytic with XII to XIIa)
Kallikrein
activates plasminogen to plasmin
XIII and Kallikrein
(fibrinolysis and hemostasis occur simultaneously making [?] both procoagulant and profibrinolysis)
XII
works on fibrinolysis (dissolution of clot) and complement system (allergic-mediated reactions)
Plasmin
Feedback to XII
Plasmin
Product: fragmentation of XII
Plasmin
Activation of XII by negative surface or exposed collagen
Plasmin
activates FXI (end of contact phase)
FXII and Kallikrein
: form low level of residual thrombin existing in the circulation
VIIIa of intrinsic tenase
Only happens in vivo (glass tubes does not have TF, only from the blood vessels)
EXTRINSIC System / TISSUE FACTOR Pathway
is released from a damaged blood vessel
TF
: activates prothromnbin (II) to thrombin
Prothrombinase
: from low level of residual thrombin existing outside coagulation’ activated by platelet
Va of prothrombinase
: cleaves and breaks fibrinogen to make fibrin clot
Thrombin
: splits into fibronopeptide A to fibrinopeptide B
Fibrin (soluble)
(very soluble; can only be stabilized by XIIIa to make cross-link fibrin clot)
fibronopeptide A to fibrinopeptide B
XIIIa is activated by
thrombin
thrombin At low level: amplifies [?] (from coagulation)
V and VIII activation
Activates prothrombinase (+ X and Va) – prothrombinase becomes autocatalytic when activated by level thrombin (independent activation from intrinsic or extrinsic)
Thrombin
FXI activation and Plasminogen activation
Thrombin
[?] is activated by both extrinsic and intrinsic pathway resulting to [?].
X

- TFPI:Xa binds to TF:VII
Kuntiz-1
- TFPI binds to TF-VII-Xa complex (alternative)

intrinsic pathway
Inhibition of extrinsic pathway =[?] level of thrombin ([?]to V and VIII and [?] fibrinolysis by activating plasminogen to plasmin; bleeding injury = [?]; body adjusts coagulation w/ ↓ level of thrombin)
↓
destructive
initiates
more coagulation
TFPI keeps thrombin in
low levels
: cannot produce clot; deactivates V and VIII; initiates plasminogen to plasmin instead of fibrinogen to fibrin (TFPI makes coagulation possible)
