 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
