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 |
