Effects of DV infection on vascular permeability through factors secreted by the endothelial cells
| Factors secreted by endothelial cells | Functions | Effects of DV infection |
|---|---|---|
| Prostacyclin | Vasodilation, inhibits platelet aggregation | Inhibited |
| Nitric oxide | Vasodilation, inhibits platelet adhesion and aggregation | Increased |
| Endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) | Vasoconstriction | Inhibited |
| Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) | Regulates fibrinolysis | Increased |
| Thrombomodulin | Anticoagulant activity | Increased |
| von Willebrand Factor | Promotes platelet adhesion and activation of blood coagulation | Increased |
