Q

Describe the steps of initiation of the clotting cascade.

A

hemodynamic changes induce a conformational change in GP1b-IX-V increasing its affinity for vWF, their binding triggers a signaling cascade, this permits the initial adhesion of rolling platelets to collagen via vWF, adhesion of platelets to collagen is strengthened and stabilized thru alpha2beta1 and GP-VI, this activates platelets and initiates a shape change and forces them to exocytose stored TXA2, ADP and thrombin

Q

Describe the extension and perpetuation of the platelet plug formation.

35
Q

List the extrinsic pathway of coagulation.

A

Tissue factor is exposed on fibrblasts or released locally, factor VII is activated by thrombin and binds with TF, Phosholipds(-) on platelet surface with Ca, this complex with XIa (activated by thrombin) activates IX to IXa which binds with VIIIa (activated by thrombin) PL and CA to form the tenase complex, which activates V to Va and in combination with TF-VIIa-PL-Ca actiates X to Xa, Xa and Va bind to PL and CA on platelet surface forming the Prothrombinase complex

36
Q

List the intrinsic pathway.

A

the blood contacts a negative charge and form contact factor complex composed of XIIa, high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) and prekallikrein (Pre-K); this activates XI to XIa which activates IX to IXa which binds with VIIIa (activated by thrombin) and PL and CA to form the Tenase complex which activates X to XA which binds with Va (activated by thrombin) PL and Ca on platelet surface forming the prothrombinase complex

37
Q

What are the three steps in the change of fibrinogen during clotting?

A

enzymatic conversion to insoluble fibrin monomer by thrombin, aggregation of fibrin monomers to form the soft clot, and cross-linking of aggregated fibrin monomer by XIIIa a transglutaminase forming the hard clot

38
Q

What changes occur in fibrinogen to get fibrin?

A

4 peptides (2FP and 2 FPB) on the N-termini carry a - charge and keep fibrinogen soluble are cleaved

39
Q

What is clot retraction?

A

the fibrin meshwork intertwining the platelets traps monocytes and RBCs, begins to condense into a compact structure, first part of repair process

40
Q

What occurs after clot retraction?

A

platelets attached to fibrin meshwork contract via contractile proteins (actin and myosin) and pull clot (retraction), the clot condenses by squeezing out a fluid called serum

41
Q

What is fibrinolysis? Describe the process.

A

lysis of firbin clot, clot is dissolved by plasmin (ser protease) which digests corss-linked fibrin monomers

42
Q

How is plasmin activated?

A

from plasminogen via Plasminogen activator either t-PA (endothelial cells secrete) or urokinase PA (u-PA, synthesized and secreted by urinary tract epithelial cells, monocytes, and macrophages), can also be activated by streptokinase secreted by beta-hemolytic streptococci; produces D dimers and E-fragments

43
Q

What are D dimer used for clinically?

A

a clinical test to rule out deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

44
Q

what are the four classes of anti-coagulating factors?

A

Class A: tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), Class B: Ser Protease inhibitors (Serpins) inhibit thrombin and other factors through binding antithrombin III (ATIII) & Heparin cofactor II
Class C: inhibit formation of prothrombinase Protein C & S
Class D: inhibitors of tPA and Plasmmin, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and plasmin inhibitor (Antiplasmin)

45
Q

How does TFPI work?

A

produced by subendothelium and circulates as a complex of lipoproteins, Complex of factor VIIa and TF ctivqtes IX and X, when the concentration of Xa increases beyond threshold, Xa binds to circulating TFPI and activates it, TFPI inhibits TF-VIIa complex, prevents generation prothrombinase, Autoregulatory aspect

46
Q

Where is ATIII made, type of molecule, and how does it work?

A

glycoprotein synthesized in the liver, half life of 3 days, inactivates thrombin by covalently binding to it

47
Q

What is the role of Heparin or Heparin sulfate?

A

binds at endothelial surface with thrombin and ATIII augmenting ATIIIs inhibition by 1000x, released by mast and endothelial cells

48
Q

How does heparin cofactor II work?

A

similar mechanism as ATIII, covalently binds thrombin then binds to heparin

49
Q

How does Protein C and Protein S work?

A

vitamin K dependent, C has enzymatic activity, circulates as zymogen; S is cofactor produced in liver; thrombin produced in sufficient quantity activates Protein C in complex with Thrombomodulin (expressed on endothelial surface) and Protein S, once activated C destroys co-factors Va and VIIIa

50
Q

How does PAI-1 work?

A

t-PA and u-PA circulate in complex with PAI-1, once they get trapped in a clot they dissociate, this allows plasmin to only by generated in the clot, after the clot is dissolved free t-PA is cleared in the liver (half life 5-6min) (auto regulation)

51
Q

How does fibrin affect t-PA?

A

in the absence of fibrin t-PA has a low affinity for plasminogen, when bound to fibrin the t-PA affinity is 50-100x more decreasing Km, allows fibrinolytic reactions to only occur on the surface of the clot (auto regulation)

52
Q

what does alpha2-antiplasmin do?

A

a serine protease inhibitor, binds to free plasmin preventing it from digesting fibrinogen and clotting factors, fibrin in a clot reduces the affinity of antiplasmin for plasmin (auto regulation)

53
Q

Where are most coagulating factors synthesized? Examples.

A

Prothrombin, fibrinogen, and factors VII, IX, X, XI, protein S and C

54
Q

Vitamin K is a cofactor for an enzyme that does what? What coagulation factors does it act on?

A

gamma carboxylation of acid residues of coagulation factors (GLA), Prothrombin, VII, IX, X, XI, XII and protein C and S

55
Q

Where does Ca bridge in the Tenase and Prothrombinase complexes?

A

between the PL on activated platelets and gamma-carboxylated GLA on clotting factors

56
Q

If vitamin K is absent what happens?

A

no gamma-carboxylation so clotting factors are unable to bind to platelets and therefore remain inactive

57
Q

what is Virchows Triad for hemostasis?

A

hemodynamic alterations (turbulence or stasis), endothelial dysfunction (valvular disorder, atherosclerosis), and hypercoagulability (drugs too)

58

63
Q

what is von Willebrand disease (VWD)?

A

autosomal dominant, 1% pop, loss of function: adhesion of platelets to vessel impaired due to many factors, prolonged bleeding time, spontaneous hemorrhage most common; gain of function: platelet adherre to wall without injury, in VWD IIb vWF has increased affinity for GPIb-IX-V and adheres to wall spontaneously, weak adhesion, platelets washed away easily

64
Q

what is factor V deficiency look like?

A

leads to mild hemophilia, mutations confer resistance to destruction or increase half life, associated with thrombophilia ex: vein thrombosis

65
Q

What does protein C and protein S deficiency look like?

A

in deep vein thrombosis and Purpura fulminans; life threatening severe clotting throughout body, ultimately causing death of tissues, due to homozygous deletion of protein C; S deficiency predisposes individuals for thrombosis

66
Q

Deficiency in what clotting factor is seen in 2% of patients with venous thromboembolic disease?

A

ATIII, inherited autosomal dominant, deficiency results from mutations that affect synthesis or stability of ATIII or from mutations that affect the protease or heparin binding sites of ATIII

72
Q

How does Aspirin inhibit COX 1 and COX 2?

A

covalent acytelation of serin residues of the active site

73
Q

How is TXA2 recovered following NSAID use?

A

A

Direct: Direct Thrombin inhibitors which bind to thrombin and inhibit activity (Hirudin, Argatroban, Melagatran) and Indirect Thrombin Inhibitors which inhibit thrombin generation (AntiXa antibodies, TFPI, Soluble Thrombomodulin) or Indrect: ATIII dependent which increase ATIII activity (Heparin, Heparin Fragments) and Vitamin K Anatagonists which inhibit synthesis of clotting factors (Warfarin, Coumarin, Dicoumarol)
