Sex-specific differences in plasma levels of FXII, HK, and FXIIa-C1-esterase inhibitor complexes in community-acquired pneumonia

Abstract: Sex-dependent differences in immunity and coagulation play an active role in the outcome of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Contact phase proteins act at the crossroads between inflammation and coagulation thus representing a point of convergence in host defense against infection. Here, we measured the levels of factor XII (FXII), FXIIa-C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) complexes, and high molecular weight kininogen (HK) in plasma of CAP patients and correlated them to clinical disease severity. Levels of FXII… Show more

“…FXII has been found to bind to endothelial cells and platelets and can stimulate several other proteins, including C1 esterase of the complement pathway and the fibrinolytic precursor plasminogen. [8]. Notably, a deficiency in FXII does not lead to an increased risk of bleeding but protects against thrombus formation by extending plasma clotting duration [9].…”
