Morphological and biochemical evidence of blood vessel damage and fibrinogenolysis triggered by brown spider venom

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis : an International Journal in Haemostasis and Thrombosis
V C ZanettiWaldemiro Gremski

Abstract

The venom of the brown spider is remarkable because it causes dermonecrotic injury, hemorrhagic problems, hemolysis, platelet aggregation and renal failure. The mechanism by which the venom causes hemorrhagic disorders is poorly understood. Rabbits intradermally exposed to the venom showed a local hemorrhage starting 1 h after inoculation and reaching maximum activity between 2 and 3 days. Biopsies examined by light and transmission electron microscopy showed subendothelial blebs, vacuoles and endothelial cell membrane degeneration in blood vessels, plasma exudation into connective tissue, and fibrin and thrombus formation within blood vessels. Loxosceles intermedia venom incubated with fibrinogen partially degrades Aalpha and Bbeta chains of intact fibrinogen, and significantly cleaves all Aalpha, Bbeta and gamma chains when they were separated or when fibrinogen is denatured by boiling. Proteolytic kinetic studies showed that the Aalpha chain is more susceptible to venom hydrolysis than the Bbeta chain. The fibrinogenolysis is blocked by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline, but not by other protease inhibitors. Human plasma incubated with the venom had coagulation parameters such as prothrombin time, acti...Continue Reading

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
