The coagulation system in host defense

Abstract: The blood coagulation system and immune system of higher organisms are thought to have a common ancestral origin. During infections, the blood coagulation system is activated and components of the hemostatic system are directly involved in the immune response and immune system modulations. The current view is that the activation of coagulation is beneficial for infections with bacteria and viruses. It limits pathogen dissemination and supports pathogen killing and tissue repair. On the other hand, over‐activat… Show more

“…Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) and similar coagulopathic phenotypes are promoted in infection 15 , and also in heat stroke 16 . The two coagulopathy-promoting stimuli experienced together, or in short succession, may produce a synergistic effect, as we observed in this work.…”

“…The coagulation system can be activated by a variety of different viruses, including HIV, Dengue virus, and Ebola virus (21,22). During the relatively recent outbreak of SARS-CoV in 2003, which was associated with even higher morbidity and mortality than COVID-19, vascular endothelial damage in both small-and mid-sized pulmonary vessels was noted together with DIC, DVT and PE resulting in pulmonary infarction (23)(24)(25)(26).…”

“…Thrombin is synthesized in the liver and plays a central role in blood coagulation. In addition, it is now considered that coagulation components, including thrombin, are closely associated with the immune system and are essential for effective immune responses to control infection (Antoniak et al, 2018). In fact, inhibition of thrombin, the major blood coagulation factor used in this study, increases the risk and severity of viral infection (Antoniak et al, 2013).…”
