| Abstract | Although the endothelial cell is considered antithrombogenic, endothelium has recently been shown to participate in procoagulant reactions. In this report cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells are shown to propagate a procoagulant pathway starting with factor XIa, leading to activation of factors IX, VIII, X, and prothrombin, culminating in fibrinopeptide A cleavage from fibrinogen and formation of a fibrin clot. Electron microscopic studies demonstrated that fibrin strands are closely associated with the endothelial cells. Endotoxin-treated endothelial cells, having acquired tissue factor activity, generated fibrinopeptide A in the presence of factors VIIa, IX, VIII, X, prothrombin, and fibrinogen. Factor X activation by factor VIIa and tissue factor expressed by endothelial cells is 10 times greater in the presence of factors IX and VIII than in their absence. This indicates that on the perturbed endothelial cell surface, factors IX and VIII do have an important role in the activation of factor X. Addition of platelets (10(8) per ml) augmented thrombin formation seen in the presence of endothelium alone by about 15-fold. Anti-human factor V IgG decreased this enhanced thrombin formation in the presence of platelets, indicating that factor V from platelets was playing an important role in thrombin formation. These data lead us to propose that endothelial cells can actively participate in procoagulant reactions. Although platelets can augment thrombin formation by these endothelial cell-dependent reactions, endothelial cells alone can lead to formation of a cell-associated fibrin clot. The endotoxin-treated endothelial cell provides a model of the thrombotic state supplying tissue factor to initiate coagulation and propagating the reactions leading to fibrin formation. This endothelial cell-dependent pathway suggests a central role for factors VIII and IX consistent with their importance in hemostasis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
