The relationship between inflammation and the coagulation system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inflammation and coagulation play pivotal roles in host defence. As phylogenetically old responses, there is extensive cross-talk between inflammation and coagulation in enabling an adequate immune response against potentially injurious stimuli. Immune cells are important in the initiation of coagulation pathways, while various inflammatory mediators are capable of altering haemostasis. Vice versa, coagulation proteases have significant immunomodulatory effects. Understanding the mechanisms involved in the crosstalk between inflammation and coagulation may yield new therapeutic strategies for human diseases.

O11: Novel Approaches to Prevent Neuroinflammation by Targeting the Coagulation System
There is growing appreciation that other factors not traditionally considered components of the immune system foster inflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The blood coagulation initiating factor XII was introduced as key mediator of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity by modulation of adaptive immune response. Moreov...
متن کاملO10: Thrombo-Inflammation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke has been classified as a merely thrombotic disease, so the main goal of its treatment is the recanalization of the occluded vasculature. However, despite fast restoration of blood circulation, progressive stroke still develops in many patients, which has led to the concept of reperfusion injury. The underlying mechanism is only partly known. Though, it is accepted now, tha...
متن کاملNonsense-mediated mRNA decay among coagulation factor genes
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...

Background: Hemophilia B is a bleeding disorder with a recessive X-linked inheritance pattern, in which the infected individuals have low levels of factor IX in their plasma. Affected individuals may have bleeding episodes after trauma or spontaneously considering the plasma level of factor IX. In order to prevent these episodes and to control bleeding, they should use coagulation factor concen...
متن کاملInflammation and haemostasis
Inflammation and haemostasis are interrelated pathophysiologic processes that considerably affect each other. In this bidirectional relationship, inflammation leads to activation of the haemostatic system that in turn also considerably influences inflammatory activity. Such, the haemostatic system acts in concert with the inflammatory cascade creating an inflammation-haemostasis cycle in which ...
