Implication

Supports dual antithrombotic-anti-inflammatory strategies; leaves open whether PAR antagonists improve cardiovascular outcomes in trials.

Key Points

To delineate the molecular mechanisms linking tissue factor hypercoagulability, inflammation, and thrombosis, and to outline corresponding therapeutic strategies.
Synthesized molecular and pathophysiological evidence regarding tissue factor-initiated coagulation cascades, protease mediator generation, and protease-activated receptor signaling pathways.
Tissue factor initiates coagulation via generation of protease mediators (FVIIa, FXa, and FIIa), leading directly to fibrin deposition and thrombin-mediated platelet activation.
Coagulation signaling via protease-activated receptors stimulates the expression of cytokines, selectins, and growth factors, creating an inflammatory loop that enhances platelet aggregation and leukocyte recruitment.
Therapeutic interventions utilizing anticoagulants and protease-activated receptor antagonists suppress direct thrombotic events and disrupt coagulation-dependent vascular inflammation.
