Inhibitors of coagulation


  • The coagulation cascade is tightly controlled to prevent pathologic thrombus formation
  • Multiple inhibitors of coagulation
  • Coagulation is inhibited primarily at three points:
  • 1) Activation of X by TF/VIIa complex (TFPI)
  • 2) Activity of thrombin (thrombomodulin, antithrombin)
  • 3) Cofactor activity of VIIIa and Va (proteins S and C)

TFPI

-Tissue factor pathway inhibitor


-Exists as both soluble and membrane bound forms (membrane bound is predominant in humans, mainly on endothelial cells)


-TFPI binds to complex of TF, VIIa, and Xa


-Inhibits extrinsic pathway of coagulation, especially in areas adjacent to clot where endothelium is intact

Thrombomodulin

-Cell-associated factor (mostly endothelial cells) that binds thrombin and alters its activity


-Main role is to prevent clot/thrombus on endothelial cells


-Decreases activity against/affinity for: Fibrinogen, factors V, VIII, and XI, PARs (platelet receptors)


-Increases (significantly) activity for: protein C, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI)

Proteins C and S

•Protein C is activated by the thrombin-thrombomodulincomplex, binds to endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR)


•Protein S is a cofactor for protein C


•Activated protein C inactivates factors Va and VIIIa,especially on endothelial surfaces


•Vitamin K dependent proteins. ½ life of protein C is short (6-10 hours) so Warfarincauses paradoxical clotting, so give heparin for first 4 days


•APC (activated protein C) is also anti-inflammatory–Can be used for the treatment of severesepsis

Antithrombin

-SerPIn (serine protease inhibitor) attached to endothelial surface


-Inhibits activity of both Xa and thrombin (IIa)


-Activity of antithrombin is greatly increased by heparins
