What is blood coagulation (clotting)?
It is a coordinated, biochemical process that is initiated as a result of vascular injury where a small area blood of surrounding injury changes from liquid to gel, forming a clot made of fibrin, which results in hemostasis (the cessation of blood loss) followed by clot dissolution and repair.
![Page 3: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)?

Steps of hemostasis
Vascular constriction limiting blood flow to the area of injury
Activation then aggregation of platelets at the site of injury, forming a loose platelet plug
Formation of a fibrin mesh to entrap the plug
Dissolution of the clot in order for normal blood flow to resume following tissue repair

Players of blood clotting
The blood clotting process involves a complex array of blood cells,
blood proteins (structural and enzymatic),
tissue glycoproteins,
lipids,
ions,
vasoactive compounds
![Page 5: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)? It is a coordinated, biochemical process that is initiated as a result of vascular injury where a small area blood of surrounding](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e89eeee9a3f075c4505d3f5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Platelets
Small anuclear cell fragments produced from the megakaryocytes.
Platelets have numerous kinds of surface receptors.
Platelets also have actin filaments and myosin, which change the shape of the platelet upon activation.
They also have three types of granules that store substances that are released upon platelet activation.

The granules
Electron-dense granules (calcium ions, ADP, ATP, serotonin)
-granule (a heparin antagonist, platelet-derived growth factor, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (vWF), clotting factors)
Lysosomal granule (hydrolytic enzymes)
During activation, the contents of these granules are secreted.

Thrombin receptorThrombin receptor activates a G-protein that activates phospholipase C-γ (PLC-γ).
PLC-γ hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol(DAG).
IP3 induces the release of intracellular Ca2+ stores, and DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC).
Calcium triggers liberation of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids by the enzyme phospholipase A2.
Arachidonate is converted by cyclooxygenase to prostaglandins, which are then converted by thromboxane synthetase to thromboxane A2.

Role of thromboxane (and vasoconstrictors)
TXA2 is a potent vasoconstrictor and inducer of platelet aggregation.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase, accounting for their anticoagulant effects.
Serotonin is also a vasoconstrictor.
PDGF stimulates proliferation of endothelial cells to reduce blood flow.
![Page 11: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)?

More release of granular contents
Intracellular Ca2+ stores is myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), which phosphorylates the light chain of myosin allowing it to interact with actin resulting in altered platelet morphology, induced motility and facilitating release of granules.
DAG activates PKC, which phosphorylates and activates specific platelet proteins that induce the release of platelet granule contents including ADP.

Biochemistry of coagulation
![Page 15: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)? It is a coordinated, biochemical process that is initiated as a result of vascular injury where a small area blood of surrounding](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e89eeee9a3f075c4505d3f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Components of coagulation
An organizing surface (platelets)
Proteolytic zymogens (prekallikrein, prothrombin, and factors XII, XI, IX, VII, and X)
These are mainly inactive serine proteases produced and released from hepatocytes.
The subscript "a" designates the activated form of a factor
e.g., “XIII" is versus "XIIIa"
Anti-coagulant (protein C, protein S)
Non-enzymatic protein cofactors (factors VIII, V, and III (tissue factor)
Calcium ions
Thrombin
Fibrinogen
![Page 16: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)?

The two imprecise pathways
The intrinsic pathway is initiated when subendothelial surface (i.e., collagen) is exposed.
The extrinsic pathway is initiated in response to tissue injury.Tissue factor (TF) protein is released.
However, the two pathways converge on a common pathway.

Gla domainAn ER/Golgi carboxylase binds to prothrombin and factors IX, VII, and X and converts 10≥ glutamate (Glu) residues to -carboxyglutamate (Gla).
The Gla residues bind calcium ions and are necessary for the activity of these coagulation factors and formation of a coordinated complex with the charged platelet surface to localize the complex assembly and thrombin formation to the platelet surface.
Vitamin K participates in conversion of Glu to γ-Gla
Vitamin K becomes oxidized and must be regenerated.
![Page 20: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)?

Prothrombin activation
Factor Xa converts prothrombin to thrombin, which is accelerated by Va, platelets (or phospholipids), and calcium ions.
Binding of calcium alters the conformation the Gla domains of these factors, enabling them to interact with a membrane surface of platelets.
Aggregated platelets provide the surface upon which prothrombin activation occurs .

Factors V and VIII
Va and VIIIa are cofactors that increase the proteolytic efficiency of Xa and IXa, respectively.
Factors V and VIII are activated by thrombin.
Factor VIII circulates in plasma bound to von Willebrand factor, which increases VIII half-life, and, when released, it gets activated.
von Willebrand factor deficiency is associated decrease in the plasma concentration of factor VII.

Tissue factor
Tissue factor is an integral membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of "activated" monocytes, endothelial cells exposed to various cytokines, and other cells.
Tissue factor greatly increases the proteolytic efficiency of VIIa.

Anti-coagulants
Blood clotting can be prevented by addition of Ca2+ chelators and vitamin K antagonists such as the anticoagulant drug warfarin, which inhibits reduction of vitamin K and thereby prevents synthesis of active prothrombin and factors VII, IX, and X.

The kallikrein-kinin systemFactor XII binds to exposed collagen at site of vessel wall
injury and is activated by high-MW kininogen and kallikrein.

What is fibrinogen?
It is a two triple-stranded helical protein held together by disulfide bonds.
![Page 27: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)? It is a coordinated, biochemical process that is initiated as a result of vascular injury where a small area blood of surrounding](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e89eeee9a3f075c4505d3f5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Formation of a fibrin clot
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen releasing fibrinopeptides.
Fibrinopeptides creates electrostatic attractions between the central domain and the end domains facilitating the aggregation of the monomers into a gel consisting of long polymers.
The clot resulting from aggregation of fibrin monomers is referred to as the "soft clot“.
![Page 28: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)?

Factor XIII
Covalent cross-linking of fibrin polymers can be formed by activated factor XIII (XIIIa), a transglutaminase.
This is required for adequate clot strength and normal wound healing in vivo
The zymogen form of factor XIII is converted to an active enzyme (XIIIa) by thrombin
![Page 29: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)? It is a coordinated, biochemical process that is initiated as a result of vascular injury where a small area blood of surrounding](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e89eeee9a3f075c4505d3f5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Enzymatic mechanism of factor XIII
Factor XIIIa catalyzes a transglutamination reaction that catalyzes a cross-linking reaction which covalently attaches a glutamine side chain of one fibrin monomer to a lysine side chain of an adjacent fibrin monomer.
The cross-links strengthen the fibrin mass, forming the "hard clot“.
Factor XIIIa also cross-links the fibrin clot to adhesive proteins on the endothelial tissue and to the platelet surfaces strengthening the platelet plug.

Amplification of coagulation reactions
The sequential enzymatic activation allows for amplification.
Amplification also results from positive feedback reactions.
These include activation of V, VIII, and XI by thrombin.

Antithrombin III
Thrombin binds to thrombomodulin in the surface of endothelial cells.
Thrombin can activate protein C, which forms a complex with protein S, both of which are vitamin K-dependent cofactors.
The complex degrades factors V and VIII.
![Page 33: Blood coagulation...What is blood coagulation (clotting)?

Antithrombin III
Antithrombin III is a SerPIn that binds and inhibits the activity of thrombin as well other clotting factors (IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa).
Heparin, a sulfated polysaccharide synthesized by mast cells, binds to antithrombin III, promoting binding to its substrates.
In the clinic, phlebotomy tubes are often treated with heparin in order to inhibit clot formation.

Clot dissolution
It is important to prevent clot formation when not needed by anti-clotting factors and to dissolve a clot when formed.
Clot dissolution starts concomitant with its formation.

Urokinase
Urokinase, a serine protease is formed from the zymogen pro-urokinase
It is synthesized in the kidney and in remodeling tissues
It is a potent plasminogen activator, and is used clinically
