Hemostasis
cessation of blood loss from damaged a damaged vessel
Balance of Hemostasis
Impaired hemostasis = blood loss

Stimulated hemostasis = thrombus formation
4 phases of Hemostasis
1. Vascular Spasm

2. Platelet Plug Formation (Primary Hemostasis)

3. Blood Coagulation (Secondary Hemostasis)

4. Dissolution of Fibrin Clot (Tertiary Hemostasis)
Vascular Spasm Flow
Injury to Vessel Wall

Vasoconstriction: transient and locally induced by Endothelin from Endothelial Cells

Slows local blood flow and increased adherence of platelets to exposed endothelial surfaces

It also activates the coagulation process
Primary Hemostasis
Plate Plug Formation
Inhibitors of Platelet Aggregation released by Endothelium
Prostacyclin

Nitric Oxide

Normal so you don't get thrombosis: uninjured endothelial cells
What does the subendothelial consist of and why does it promote platelet aggregation/plugging?
Basal lamina of Endothelial Cells and smooth muscle cells

Injury exposes collagen, vWF and other components of extracellular matrix
vWF
Von Willebrand Factor

large multimeric protein localized in subendothelial matrix, platelet granules and in the circulation
What does a platelet plasma membrane contain and it's importance?
Glycoproteins (Integrins)

bind to collagen and to vWF

causes binding to subendothelium
What is platelet adhesion primarily mediated by?
Integrin GPIb (glycoprotein) adheres to vWF

Integrin GPIa adheres to collagen
What does adhesion do toe the shape of the platelets?
They go from flat to spherical and they extrude pseudopods to attract and interact with other platelets
What do platelets do after adhere? (7)
These are activated platelets and they release:
ADP
Ca2+
ATP
Serotonin
vWF
Platelet Factor 4

synthesize and release:
Thromboxane A2 (TXA2)
ADP
potent platelet activator via two G-protein-coupled receptors
2 ADP receptors and their actions
P2Y1: couples to Gq and mobilizes intracellular Ca2+

P2Y12: couples to Gi to inhibit adenylyl cyclase
Thromboxane A2
platelet aggregating agonist and vasoconstrictor
TXA2 Receptor
Gq coupling
mobilizes intracellular Ca2+
Thrombin
enhances activation of platelets

produced from coagulation pathway
Thrombin Receptors
protease-activated G protein-coupled receptors

results in activation of PLC and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase
What is platelet aggregation mediated by?
Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen
soluble plasma glycoprotein

binds simultaneously to GPIIb/IIIa receptors on two separate platelets---> platelet crosslinking and clot formation
Does GPIIb/IIIa bind fibrinogen on nonstimulated platelets?
NO

platelet activation converts GPIIb/IIIa from a low-affinity fibrinogen receptor to a high-affinity receptor
Secondary Hemostasis
Blood Coagulation
Blood Coagulation
conversion of liquid blood into a solid gel, known as a clot.

blood coagulates by transformation of soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin
Clot
meshwork of fibrin within in which blood cells are trapped and functions to reinforce the platelet plug
Thrombin
serine protease

catalyzes the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin: last step in the coagulation pathway
Hemostatic Plug
formed after cross-linking of fibrin strands that stabilize the clot
Coagulation Cascade
sequence of ezymatic events

factors are usually serine proteases

most factors circulate as inactive proenzymes, synthesized by the liver

proenzymes are proteolytically cleaved and thereby activated, by the activated factors that procede them in the cascade

intrinsic, extrinsic, and common pathways
Intrinsic Pathway
activated by Factor XII (hageman factor)
Extrinsic Pathway
activated by Factor VII which is initiated by thromboplastin(tissue factor expressed by activated leukocytes, activated endothelial cells, sub-endothelial smooth muscle cells and subendothelial fibroblasts at the site of injury)
Common Pathway
both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways lead to activation of Factor X

Activated Factor X cleaves prothrombin (factor II) to thrombin (factor IIa)

Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin
Role of Vitamin K
Factors II, VII, IX and X must undergo a vitamin K dependent post translational modification

a number of glutamic acid residues are carboxylated to gamma-carboxy-glutamic acid residues

need O2, CO2, and hydroquine form or vitamin K
What do the gamma-carboxyglutamyl residues do?
bind Ca2+ and are essential for interaction with platelet plasma membranes
What is the significance of the Ca2+ chelated gamma-carboxyglutamyl residues?
the clotting factors with the Ca2+ are able to bind to the phospholipids on the surface of platelets--->

increase in the rate at which the proteolytic activation of clotting factors can take place.
How is vitamin K regenerated after the reaction?
vitamin K epoxide reductase
Regulation of Hemostasis

3. Protein C and S
4. Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)
5. Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator (t-PA)
PGI2
Prostacyclin

eicosanoid secreted by the endothelium

Also a vasodilator by increasing cAMP within smooth muscle
Antithrombin III
iactivates thrombin and other coagulation factors (IXa, Xa, XIa and XIIa) by forming a complex with the coagulation factor

activated by heparin like molecules on the endothelial cells
Protein C and protein S cofactor
vitamin K-dependent serine protease activated by thrombin

activated form degrades factors Va and VIIIa
Protein C and S Feedback Mechanism and mode of action.
excess thrombin generation leads to activation of Protein C

activation is modulated via thrombomodulin (endothelial receptor for protein C and thrombin)

when thrombin and protein C bind together, protein C is activated to protein Ca

protein Ca +cofactor protein S then inhibits clotting by cleaving Factors Va and VIIIa inactivating them
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
TFPI

limits the action of Tissue factor

thus limiting TF mediated activation of Factors IX and X
Plasmin

plasma protein that is synthesized in the liver
Tissue Plasminogen Activator
