Deficiencies in Proteins C and S, crucial natural anticoagulants, increase thrombotic risk. Various conditions and medications can impair their function, contributing to clotting disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Hematology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Proteins C and S are vitamin K-dependent plasma proteins forming a natural anticoagulant system.
  • Activated Protein C and Protein S regulate coagulation by inactivating Factors Va and VIIIa.
  • Deficiencies in Proteins C and S are linked to thrombotic tendencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of Proteins C and S in the anticoagulant system.
  • To investigate factors contributing to acquired deficiencies of Proteins C and S.
  • To understand the clinical implications of Protein C and S dysfunction in thrombosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on Proteins C and S.
  • Analysis of mechanisms leading to acquired deficiencies.

  • Correlation of protein levels and function with thrombotic events.

    • Main Results:

    • Heterozygous deficiencies do not always lead to thrombosis.
    • Acquired deficiencies can result from oral anticoagulation, liver disease, DIC, lupus, nephrotic syndrome, pregnancy, and hormones.
    • Warfarin rapidly reduces Protein C activity, potentially causing skin necrosis.
    • Protein S functional levels decrease in acute thrombus, often due to C4b-binding protein complexation.

    Conclusions:

    • Protein C and S deficiencies are risk factors for recurrent thrombotic disease.
    • Clinical conditions commonly alter Protein C and S function, increasing thrombosis risk.
    • Understanding these alterations is key for managing thrombotic disorders.
