Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Inflammation and coagulation are two main host-defence systems that interact with each other. Inflammation activates coagulation and coagulation modulates the inflammatory activity in many ways. The contributing molecular pathways are reviewed. Thrombin and activated protein C (APC) and its receptor EPCR constitute a major physiological regulatory system to control vascular wall permeability during sepsis. Pro-inflammatory cellular effects of coagulation proteases as well as the anti-inflammatory effects of APC/EPCR are mediated by signaling via protease activated receptors PAR on mononuclear cells, endothelial cells, platelets, fibroblast, and smooth muscle cells. The beneficial effects of APC in sepsis are mainly dependent on the PAR-mediated cell-protective properties rather than the anticoagulant protease function on coagulation cofactors FV/Va and FVIII/VIIIa. Animal experiments with signaling selective APC-variants show promise in improving the therapeutic efficacy and safety of APC in sepsis. |
