13、240REVIEWINFECTIOUS DISEASEThe pathogenesis of severe COVID-19 pneumonia has similarities with that of severe bacterial pneumonia,with both causing severe hypoxia that often requires ventilatory support.Both are characterised byextensive inflammatory cell recruitment to the lungs,a potent acute phas

15、 elevatedD-dimer levels,with raised levels of the latter being associated with poor prognosis 69.Evidence ofdisseminated intravascular coagulation is seen frequently in patients at increased risk of death fromCOVID-19 8.In severe COVID-19,the clinical relevance of activation of the coagulation syste

17、ents with COVID-19,and similar microthrombi may contribute to renal and cardiacinvolvement.Recent studies suggest that the rapid accumulation of neutrophil extracellular traps in themicrovessels of patients with severe COVID-19 results in occlusion of these vessels and promotesmicrothrombosis 13.Alt

18、hough endothelial dysfunction occurs in bacterial pneumonia and sepsis,it is pronounced inCOVID-19,with SARS-CoV-2 having a direct effect on the endothelium.Post mortem studies have shownevidence of intracellular virus and microangiopathy 12.SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin-convertingenzyme(ACE)-2 re

19、ceptor to enter the host cells and activates the reninangiotensin system,which caninduce a prothrombotic state 14.Furthermore,the host inflammatory response to the virus promotesactivation of coagulation and reduced fibrinolysis.Older age,low lymphocyte count,prolonged PT andAPPT,and admission to th

21、ivation of the coagulation system is known to be pro-inflammatory andcould drive further increases in inflammation;in tissues with a delicate architecture such as the distal lung,this can be highly detrimental,impairing gas exchange 20 and culminating in acute respiratory distresssyndrome(ARDS)21,22

28、rrelate negatively with survival 9,23,24.As a consequence,therapies thatmodulate inflammatory responses caused by activation of coagulation have been extensively investigated inbacterial pneumonia and sepsis.Several anticoagulant therapeutic strategies for treating pneumonia,sepsisand ARDS have been

29、 identified and some of these anticoagulants have been trialled in humans.The highfrequency of coagulation abnormalities and prolonged inflammation that occurs in severe COVID-19suggests these therapies are attractive potential therapies.Here,we review the evidence from preclinical studies and clini

31、mation crosstalk(figure 2).The TF-dependent pathwayThe TF pathway is the main initiator of procoagulant activity secondary to tissue injury and inflammation,and it plays an important role in pneumonia and ARDS 25,26.TF is a transmembrane glycoproteinexpressed by mononuclear cells,endothelial cells,f

32、ibroblasts,vascular smooth muscle cells and alveolarepithelial cells but it can also be detected in extracellular fluids and in cell-derived microparticles shedfrom activated cells 2729.Under normal physiological conditions,TF will only come into contact withblood or circulating coagulation zymogens

33、 after vascular injury and disruption of the endothelial barrier30,31.TF binds to and activates coagulation factors VII to VIIa,forming the TF-VIIa complex.Thisinitiates the TF-dependent pathway of coagulation by activating coagulation factor X to Xa and thenbinding factor Xa to form the TF-VIIa-Xa

34、ternary complex.The TF-VIIa-Xa ternary complex convertsprothrombin(factor II)to thrombin(factor IIa),a process that is sustained and increased in efficiency bypositive feedback through activation of coagulation factors V and VIII,which are non-enzymatic cofactorsthat activate factor X 32,33.Thrombin

35、 converts fibrinogen to fibrin,the main constituent of clots,and isalso the main physiological activator of proteinase-activated receptor-1(PAR1),the major high-affinitythrombin receptor that promotes multiple downstream cellular responses involved in tissue repair.However,when dysregulated,these ce

41、with a high international normalised ratio(1.2),rhTFPI did not improve 28-daymortality,despite reducing evidence of inflammation 39.Administration of rhTFPI and heparinconcomitantly was associated with increased bleeding,although a post hoc analysis did suggest rhTFPIimproved survival in patients wi
