Factor XII-Driven Inflammatory Reactions with Implications for Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction. It is triggered by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators from mast cells and basophils in response to immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms. Mediators that are released upon mast cell activation include the highly sulfated polysaccharide and inorganic polymer heparin and polyphosphate (polyP), respectively. Heparin and p...
متن کاملProcessing of Factor XII during Inflammatory Reactions
The contact system was originally identified as an obsolete part of the coagulation system, but it has been repeatedly implicated in inflammatory states, such as infection, as well as in allergic- and chronic inflammatory disease. Under these conditions, there is surprisingly little evidence that factor XII (FXII) acts as a coagulation factor, and its activity appears to be mainly directed towa...
متن کاملFactor XII Osaka: abnormal factor XII with partially defective prekallikrein cleavage activity.
A healthy Japanese male had reduced factor XII (FXII) activity (35%) in contrast to normal antigen levels (81%). The F12 of this proband had a 9775G to C mutation in exon 10 and an 11276G to A mutation in exon 13 that resulted in two amino acid substitutions of Ala324Pro (GCG→CCG) in the proline-rich connecting region and Gly531Glu (GGG→GAG) near the active Ser544 in the catalytic domain. His f...
متن کاملAnalysis of Anaphylaxis and Anaphylaxis-Like Reactions-A Qualitative Study
Fatal or near fatal or life threatening anaphylaxis and anaphylaxis-like reactions are becoming more and more common nowadays. This is a matter of growing concern both for patients and doctors. A systematic review of such cases reported in the literature, if carried out periodically, will throw more insight on such adverse drug effects. As a regional pharmacovigilance centre, we came across man...
متن کاملFactor XII Deficiency
Factor XII ia a single-chain beta-globulin serine protease with a molecular weight of 80,000 84,000 daltons and a plasma concentration of approximately 30 pg/mL. Proteolytic cleavage of factor XII is mediated by charged surfaces (glass, kaolin, cellite, dextran sulfate, endotoxin, urates, crude collagen, sulfatides), autoactivation, and kallikrein. Prekallikrein, factor XI, factor VII, plasmino...
