Interplay of coagulation and inflammation. Inflammation-induced endothelial cell activation with secretion of cytokines and activation of the complement system in combination with activation of the coagulation cascade act synergistically (black arrow). Increased levels of TF start both processes. Inhibition is achieved by anticoagulation (blackberry box) and anti-inflammatory (violet box) factors. Abbreviation: AT, antithrombin III; CD62E, endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1; CRP, C-reactive protein; Fibr.gen, fibrinogen; Fnlysis, fibrinolysis; ICAM, intercellular adhesion molecule-1; IL, interleukin; IL-1Ra, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist; MASP-2: mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2; PARs, protease-activated receptors; PC/APC, protein C/activated protein C; TF, tissue factor; TFPI, tissue factor pathway inhibitor; TGF-ß, transforming growth factor beta.
