Blood coagulation dynamics in haemostasis.

چکیده
Our studies involve computational simulations, a reconstructed plasma/platelet proteome, whole blood in vitro and blood exuding from microvascular wounds. All studies indicate that in normal haemostasis, the binding of tissue factor (TF) with plasma factor (F) VIIa (extrinsic FXase complex) results in the initiation phase of the procoagulant response. This phase is negatively regulated by tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) in combination with antithrombin (AT) and the protein C (PC) pathway. The synergy between these inhibitors provides a threshold-limited reaction in which a stimulus of sufficient magnitude must be provided for continuation of the reaction. With sufficient stimulus, the FXa produced activates some prothrombin. This initial thrombin activates the procofactors and platelets required for presentation of the intrinsic FXase (FVIIIa-FIXa) and prothrombinase (FVa-FXa) complexes which drive the subsequent propagation phase; continuous downregulation of which is provided by AT and the thrombin-thrombomodulin-PC complex. FXa generation during the propagation phase is largely (>90%) provided by the intrinsic FXase complex. TF is required for the initiation phase of the reaction but becomes non-essential once the propagation phase has been achieved. The propagation phase catalysts (FVIIIa-FIXa and FVa-FXa) continue to drive the reaction as blood is resupplied to the wound site by flow. Ultimately, the control of the reaction is governed by the pro- and anticoagulant dynamics and the supply of blood reactants to the site of a perforating injury. Our systems have been utilized to examine the qualities of hypothetical and novel antihaemorrhagic and anticoagulation agents and in epidemiologic studies of venous and arterial thrombosis and haemorrhagic pathology.

Objective(s): Haemostasis prevents blood loss following vascular injury. It depends on the unique concert of events involving platelets and specific blood proteins, known as coagulation factors. The clotting system requires precise regulation and coordinated reactions to maintain the integrity of the vasculature. Clotting insufficiency mostly occurs due to genetically inherited coagulation fact...
متن کاملStochastic modeling of blood coagulation initiation.
A kinetic Monte Carlo simulation was developed using the deterministic reaction network developed by the Mann laboratory for tissue-factor (TF)-initiated blood coagulation. The model predicted thrombin dynamics in recalcified whole blood (3-fold diluted) pretreated with convulxin (platelet GPVI activator) and picomolar levels of TF (0-14 pM). The model did not accurately predict coagulation tim...

Thromb Haemost 2007; 98: 84–89 The discipline of haemostasis and thrombosis has set an example, perhaps more than other disciplines of Medicine, in discoveries based on observations of the so called “experiments of nature”. During a relatively short time of 13 years (1947 – 1960), most coagulation factors were identified in patients who presented with a bleeding tendency and were worked up by r...

Primary Haemostasis This involves platelet adhesion, via Von Willebrand factor (vWF), to the subendothelial collagen, with ensuing activation and aggregation of platelets, resulting in the formation of a platelet plug. When platelets become activated, phosphatidylserine (PS; previously platelet factor 3) becomes exposed on the platelet membrane and acts as a scaffold for the assembly of coagula...
