AP II: PRINCIPLES OF HEMOSTATSIS
|
AP II: PRINCIPLES OF HEMOSTATSIS
|
|
3 Phases of hemostasis
|
1. formation of platelet
2. coagulation 3. fibrinolysis |
|
Formation of platelet plug involves what?
|
1. adhesion
2. activation 3. aggregation |
|
In the adhesion stage, what does platelet bind to?
|
1. collagen via glycoprotein VI receptor and alpha-beta integrin.
2. vWF via glycoprotein Ib receptor complex. |
|
What factor does vWF protect?
|
Factor VIII from rapid inactivation.
Binds platelet via glycoprotein Ib receptor complex. Binds to collagen via A3 domain. |
|
What makes vWF bind to platelets?
|
Change in shear rate.
|
|
What does vWF disease manifested as?
|
Impaired platelet function.
NOTE: deficiency in vWFactor |
|
What is the treatment for vWF disease?
|
Transfusion of FFP or cryoprecipitate or Humate-P which is a Factor VIII concentrate
|
|
What can desmopressin be used for?
|
Release of vW factor.
|
|
In activation stage, how are platelets activated?
|
They become activated by agonists at site of injury-- collagen, thrombin, ADP, and EPI
|
|
What contents of alpha granules and dense granules are released during platelet activation?
|
1. ADP
2. serotinin 3. Factor V 4. Factor VIII 5. vWF 6. fibrinogen |
|
What substance synthesized in cytosol is also released into environment?
|
Thromboxane A2
|
|
What happens to the morphology during plate activation?
|
They change
|
|
What type of receptors are on the surfaces during platelet activation?
|
Negatively charged receptors
|
|
During the platelet aggregation stage, how is it mediated?
|
Mediated by the platelet surface receptor-- glycoproteins IIb/IIIa receptor.
|
|
In the platelet aggregation stage, what are the adhesive molecules?
|
1. fibrinogen
2. vWF Form bridges btw platelets to create a platelet plug. |
|
Char of coagulation factors?
|
1. involves interaction of many plasma proteins-"coagulation factors"
2. circulate as "zymogen" 3. zymogen must be cleaved in order to "activate" coagulation factor. 4. requires presence of negatively charged phospholipid membrane. |
|
Where are most coagulation factors synthesized?
|
Liver
|
|
Which factors are Vit K dependent factors?
|
II, VII, IX, and X
|
|
Which factor has the extra hepatic origin?
|
VII
|
|
What is the function of Vit K?
|
Catalyzes the carboxylation of glutamic acid to become gamma carboxyglutamic acid.
Possible for the factor to bind to Ca. |
|
What inhibits carboxylation of vit K dependent factors?
|
Coumadin
|
|
Which factor has the shortest half life of the vitamin K dependent factors?
|
VII
|
|
Hemophilia A has deficiency of which factor?
|
VIII
NOTE: it's an X-Linked trait. |
|
Hemophilia B has deficiency of which factor?
|
IX
|
|
What are the actions of thrombin?
|
1. cleavage of fibrinogen to fibrin.
2. activates XIII to cross link fibrin. 3. activates platelets 4. activates V, VII, VIII, IX 5. stimulate cells to produce TF and vWF |
|
What is the cascade model of coagulation?
|
1. series of proteolytic reactions
2. coagulation factors direct and control the process. 3. cells serve as surface on which coagulation complexes are assembled. . |
|
What are the three overlapping stages of cell based model of coagulation?
|
1. Initiation: thrombin initiating the coagulation process.
2. Amplification: Platelets and coagulation factors are activated. 3. Propagation: large amounts of thrombin are generated on the activated platelet surface. 3. |
|
Functions of thrombin?
|
1. cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin
2. actives platelets 3. activates factors V, VII, VIII, IX 4. stimulates cells to produce TF and vWF. |
|
Function of aspirin?
|
Acetylates fibrinogen causing clot structure to be looser and easier to lyse.
Does it block formation of thromboxane? |
|
What takes place in the regulation of coagulation?
|
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
Antithrombin Protein C |
|
What's the function of TFPI?
|
Inhibits TF/FVIIa complex and TF/FVIIa/FXa complex.
|
|
What's the function of Antithrombin?
|
Inhibits FXa and thrombin
|
|
What is the function of Protein C?
|
With Protein S (PS), they inhibit FVa and FVIIIa
|
|
Heparin
|
Binds to AT and changes it to inhibitor of thrombin.
|
|
Function of plasmin?
|
Degrades fibrin
NOTE: formed from plasminogen being activated by tissue plasminogen activator. |
|
Describe neonates' hemostatic system and their levels of procoagulant and anticoagulant factors.
|
They have a well balanced efficient system, but with low levels of the factors.
|
|
Neonates vs. adults in
1. platelet counts 2. platelet dense granules 3. platelet aggregation in response to ADP, EPI, collagen, and thrombin. |
Platelet counts: 100% of adults
Contents of platelet dense granules: 50% of adults Platelet aggregation is impaired. |
|
What are the qualitative differences of neonates' fibrinogen vs. adults?
|
1. different chemical structure
2. dec. rate of fibrin polymerization 3. fibrin clot char by lower density. |
|
In a nutshell, fetal form of fibrinoge:
|
1. exists until 1yr old
2. fibrin clots are less dense. |
|
Plasminogen of neonates:
|
Lower concentration: 50% of adults.
Decreased functional activities (i.e. fibronolytic activity). |
|
In conclusion, cell based model of hemostasis provides?
|
An in vivo model of coagulation process.
|
|

|
Shows an intact and functioning system.
