Fibrinolytic System of Hemostasis Breakdown of the Fibrin Clot
Fibrinolytic SystemGeneral Characterization • Need mechanism to remove clot for wound healing • Must be inactive unless needed • Must remain localized at site of clot • Work from within the clot • Must not work in solution (plasma or blood) • Must be slow to be activated • Must be slow to break down the clot structure
Clot Formation and BreakdownCoagulation and Fibrinolysis Coagulation Fibrin Clot Wound Healing (FDP) (D-dimer) Fibrinogen Fibrinolysis
Fibrinolytic SystemGeneral Mechanisms • Similar to coagulation mechanisms • Most components are proenzymes • Activated by enzymes • Forms Enzyme-Cofactor Complexes • Most important complex is Fibrin clot • Extrinsic and Intrinsic Systems • Has regulatory mechanisms

Fibrinolytic SystemClinical Implications • Increased fibrinolysis causes bleeding • Defects in the components can cause thrombosis • Defects in regulators cause bleeding
Regulatory Systems of Hemostasis Control of the Fibrin Clot Formation
Regulatory SystemsGeneral Characterization • Need mechanisms to stop excessive clot formation (thrombosis) • Systems to activate as needed and remain local • Need mechanisms to stop clot formation in other areas of the vessels • System to work when unwanted components escape
Regulatory SystemsGeneral Characterization • Must be inactive unless needed • Systems must be redundant • Must be slow to be activated • Multiple types of mechanisms
Regulatory SystemsGeneral Mechanisms • Three major systems • Inhibition of Enzymes • Inhibition of Cofactors • Inhibition of Initiating Mechanism • Molecular Mechanism are: • Enzyme Complex formation • Protein Inhibitor
Regulatory SystemsMechanisms • Antithrombin • Inhibits coagulation enzymes • Mainly thrombin and factor Xa • Inhibits active site • Potentiated by heparin-like molecules on EC surface • Protein C System • Inactivates cofactors factor V and VIII • Requires complex formation • Tissue factor Pathway Inhibitor • Inhibits factors VIIa and Xa • Inhibits active site
