Many pleural diseases involve fibrin deposition within the pleural cavity, an event that necessarily involves the mesothelium. This study of human pleural mesothelial cells (HPMC) was designed to determine how the mesothelium initiates and sustains the coagulation process. We used functional assays for activation of both factor X and prothrombin to examine expression and assembly of procoagulant activity by human pleural mesothelial cells in culture. The rates of factor Xa and thrombin formation were calcium-dependent. The rate of factor Xa formation in the presence of added factor VII increased in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that tissue factor is the primary procoagulant associated with HPMC. The fact that direct binding of radioiodinated factor VIIa to HPMC was specific, concentration-dependent and saturable confirms that tissue factor is expressed on the cell surface. The rate of thrombin formation increased with factor Xa concentration, and the rate was 5-, 6-fold higher in presence of added factor Va indicating that HPMC support expression of prothrombinase activity. Further, direct binding of radioiodinated factor Xa to HPMC was specific, concentration-dependent and saturable, confirming that the cells support the assembly of the prothrombinase complex.

D010994 Pleura The thin serous membrane enveloping the lungs (LUNG) and lining the THORACIC CAVITY. Pleura consist of two layers, the inner visceral pleura lying next to the pulmonary parenchyma and the outer parietal pleura. Between the two layers is the PLEURAL CAVITY which contains a thin film of liquid. Parietal Pleura,Visceral Pleura,Pleura, Parietal,Pleura, Visceral

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
