Q

Thromboxane

A

COX1 converts AA into thromboxane A2 in platelets
Stimulator of platelet activation and aggregation and produces vasoconstriction
Endothelial COX2 generates PGI2 which blocks [platelet aggeregation and antagonizes TxA2 mediated vasoconstriction

NET effect is an adjustable tension between vasodilatory of PGI2 and vasoconstrictive of TxA2

25
Activation of platelets causes
Granule release, shape change, recruitment, and aggregation
26
vWF
Produced in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes Linear monomer that dimerize via disulfide bonds...dimers form multimers Circulating ADAMTS-13 cleaves into smaller ones
27
vWf binding sites
FV8, collagen, GB1b and GB2b/3a Cleavage site of ADAMTS-13 q
28
3 pools of vWF
Circulating - rolled up to conceal GPIb binding domain...binds F8 and prevents prevents degradation by protein C (chaperone function) Subendothelial deposit fomr - stretched out by collagen binding...poised for action if injury occurs (by binding platelets) Endothelial storage granule form - ultra large monomers unroled that can be extruded for rapid hemostasis...cleaved by ADAMTS-13
29
Once adherent to subendothelial vWF via GPIb interaction
Platelet also comes in contact with subendothelial collagen which activates platelet...platelet undergoes shape change and exposes GP2b/3a receptors, release of granule contents
30
How is ADP imprtant in platelet recruiting process
Interacts with P2Y12 ADP receptor on nearby resting platelet
31
Aggregation
Occurs once Gp2a/3b is exposed and ready to engage with a fibrinogen molecule...as many as six platelets can engage with a fibrinogen molecule
32
PLatelet plug function
Initially stops bleeding and serves as scaffolding for secondary hemostasis Disorders = thrombosis and bledding
33
Secondary hemostasis
Fromation of fibrin strands on and witin the platelet plug which knit plug together int oa fibrin clot
34
Activation of fibrin forming coagulation cascade
Begins with exposure of TF...on all cells but RBCs
35
TF location
Subendothelial, not on actual endothelium...exposed with damage...heavy in the brain and placental villi
36
Tissue factor and F7
Factor 7 wraps around TF...activated to become protease (F7a)...cleaves and activates factor X...factor X cleaves prothombin into thrombin
37
Coagulation facotrs
Made in liver F8 made in endothelium Most are serine proteases that cleave Factors 5 and 8 are cofactors for Fx and FIX
38
Secondary hemostasis general process
Latent but poised (coag factors criculate as zymogens) Multistep cascade that is amplified Localized to site of injury Requires platelet and cell membrane surfaces for efficient factor interaction
39
Coordinated choreography
Cell membranes (including platelet plug) is where secondary hemostasis takes place
40
Sticking to the stage (secondary)
Factors 7 and other serine proteases employ carboxylated glutamates to bind calcium ions Calcium helps bind factors to cell membvranes so they can function properly
41
Vitamin K role
Factors 7, 9, 10, prothrombin dependent and also anticoagulant proteins C and S Glutamic acid rich tdomains in 3 structure Gamma carboxy glutamic acids needed for interaction with membranes and calcium
42
Vit K dependent protein creation
Gamma carbons of glutamate residues are carboxylated by Vit K dependent enzyme...needed to make functional prothrombin as well
43
Vit K dependent protein structure
Gamma carboxylation permits interactions with calcium and cell/platelet membranes No vitamin K---- no gamma carboxylation ---- no membrane bound factor complexes
44
Vit K
``` Dietary sources VK2 made by gut bacteria Def with diet or AB use Replacement given orally Subq - poor absorption in obese IM - hematoma risk IV - anaphylaxis risk ```
45
Recycling of VK2
VK2 catalyzes gamma carboxylase and in process oxidized to VKO...VKO restored to normal form beginning with VK epoxide reductase (VKOR)
46
Warfarin
Inhibits VKOR the VK2 recylcing function
47
In vivo cascade
Factor 7a activates factor X which cleaves prothrombin into thrombin...these are on the phospholipid bilyaer ot TF cells
48
TF bearing cells are
Sequestered away from vessel lumen by intact endothelium
49
Initiation phase
INjury exposes TF...circulating F7 complexes with exposed TF and calcium...converts F7 to F7a...cleaves F10 and F9 into active forms...F10a cleaves prothrombin (F2) into thrombin (F2a)
50
TFPI
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor | Modulates early secondary hemostasis by reversibly inhibiting FXa...the FXa-TFPI can then inhibit the F7a-TF complex
51
Thrombin difference
Not membrane bound and catalyzes a bunch of reactions
52
Thrombin function
Platelet activating substance that stimulates platelet activation and construction of platelet plug Activates F11...begins acceleration or porpogation phase of secondary hemostasis Cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin Activates F13...F13 cross links fibrin polymers domain E to D
53
Fibrin monomers
Spontaneuously dimerize and polymerize
54
F12 does NOT
Participate in secondary hemostasis in vivo...improtant in the test tube
55
Key events of secondary hemostasis
Interaction of F7 and TF to initiate the process and generation of thrombin to propogate it
56
2 parts of natural anticoag system
C/S and antithrombin system
57
C protein
Serine protease activatedby thrombin during secondayr hemostasis...thrombin complexes with thrombomodulin bound to uninjured endothelial membrane adjacent to injury
58
Protein S
Cofactor for protein C | Activated complex cleaves F5a and F8a
59
Sequence of C/S systme
F7a-TF complex cleaves F10 into F10a at site of injury F10a complexes with activated cofactor F5a and cleaving prothrombin into thrombin Thrombin complexes with TM on uninjured membrane and cleaves protein C to APC...APC complexes with protein S to cleave F5a and F8a (cofactors to F10 and F9) into inactive forms Inhibition of F5 and F8 slows down the clotting cascade just adjacent to the injury Basically makes sure clot doesn't spill over
60
Antithrombin system
Keeps circulation moving by preventing unwanted clot formation from happening in first place AT is a weak inhibitor of serine proteases but when complexed with heparans, it becomes much more active and can inhibt all of the serine proteases in procoag cascade
61
Heparans
Natural ligand for AT Bound to surface of endothelial cells Role in inhibiting unwanted coagulation Circulation is naturally "heparanzed" in vicinity of endothelium
62
Fibrinolytic system
Limit size of clot formation and lyse the clot when job is done...also role in resolution of pathologic thrombosis
63
Plasmin
Serine protease that lyses clots by cleaving fibrin molecules...can also cleave fibrinogen Circulates as plasminogen and activated by tPA (tissue type plasminogen activator) which is made inthe endotheluum
64
tPA
Made by neodthelial cells and Release in response to stress or vascular occlusion Low affinity for circulating plasminogen but high affinity for fibrin wihtin a thrombus...binds and activates local plasminogen resulting in fibrin spcific physiologic fibrinolysis Fibrinolysis does not occur diffusely but localized othe clot
65
PAI-1
Inhibits tPA | PAI-1 def would allow overactivity of tPA leading to pleeding
66
alpha 2 antiplasmin
Serine protease inhibitor which inactivates circulating plasmin...when complexed with fibrin, helps retard firbrin degradation
67
Summation of fibrinolysis
Fibrin holds togehter platelet plug with attached plasminogen and plasmin...tPA released andbound to fibrin...cleaves plasminogen to plasmin which in turn cleaves fibrin and releases fibrin degradation products into circulation...free plasmin escaping clot is captured by alpha 2 antiplasmin and not allowed to float away
68
How is fibrinolysis modulated
At the beginning by PAI-1 that degrades tPA
69
D-dimer
Specific cleavage product of cross linked firbin that is normally measured Fibrinogen made into mesh by thrombin and then crosslinked by factor 13...plasmin then cuts into D dimer
70
D dimer measurement
Elevation demonstrates PRIOR formation of cross linked fibrin Expected to be elevated in known VTE, traume, or recent surgery Negative predictive value - if not elevated, helps rule out VTE in cases of suspected PE
