3 Major systems involved in thrombosis and hemostasis
3 Major systems involved in thrombosis and hemostasis Vessel wall – Endothelium Platelets Coagulation cascade
Anti-platelet and Anti-coagulant Properties of the Endothelium – Covers highly thrombogenic basement membrane (collagen, TF). Uninjured endothelium does not bind platelets – NO from uninjured endothelium inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion, PGI 2 (prostacyclin) inhibits platelet aggregation – TFPI – tissue factor pathway inhibitor – released from endothelial cells – Endothelial cells produce t- PA which activates fibrinolysis via plasminogen to plasmin
Platelet Adhesion Platelets are the first cells to adhere to injured vascular wall (subendothelium) Adhesion is mediated by v. WF Binding occurs only under high shear stress conditions !
Platelet Activation (Plasma) (released from activated cells) (ECM) (Plasma)
Platelet Aggregation Flowing disc-shaped platelet Rolling ball-shaped platelet Scanning electron micrograph of discoid, dormant platelets Hemisphere-shaped platelet Spreading platelet FIRM, BUT REVERSIBLE ADHESION IRREVERSIBLE ADHESION Activated, aggregating platelets illustrating fibrin strands 1.

“Classic Coagulation Cascade” Localization to sites of vascular injury. Protease complexes assemble on PL membranes of activated platelets, endothelial cells and monocytes. (The coagulation cascade occurs very slowly in fluid phase plasma and with resting cells) 4 major Anti-thrombotic Pathways (TFPI, Prot C/S, ATIII, Plasmin) Rosenberg et al NEJM 1999
From “Classic” to Current View
Current View of the Coagulation System Initiation by vessel wall injury which exposes blood to cells with TF on their surface TF/FVIIa activates FX Xa + Va cleaves II small amounts of IIa (thrombin) Minute amounts of thrombin produced initially than lead to a marked increase in activation of FXI, FIX, FVIII, FV and marked generation of thrombin. Priming invloves adherence and activation of platelets. The small amounts of initial thrombin activates platelets release of FV + PL surface for protease activation Propagation – an explosive increase in thrombin generation mediated by the classic “intrinsic system” FXI, FIX Fxa/VIIIa/Va on activated platelets IIa + fibrin formation Schneider D et al, Circulation 2007

Ticagrelor (AZD 6140): an oral reversible P 2 Y 12 antagonist Ticagrelor is a cyclo-pentyltriazolo-pyrimidine (CPTP) Direct acting – Not a prodrug; does not require metabolic activation – Rapid onset of inhibitory effect on the P 2 Y 12 receptor – Greater and more consistent inhibition of platelet aggregation versus clopidogrel Reversibly bound – Degree of inhibition reflects plasma concentration – Faster offset of effect than clopidogrel – Functional recovery of all circulating platelets
