1 Tissue factor (TF) is a protein that triggers the coagulation cascade, facilitating thrombosis and atherosclerosis.2,3 TF has been detected in various cell types within atheromatous plaques, including endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, monocyte, and, especially, macrophages, which account for about 60% of the total cells in the atheromatous plaque.1 TF found in the atheromatous lipid-core is thought to be largely derived from the macrophages present in the plaque.4 Macrophages contribute to thrombogenesis and atherogenesis partially via the mediation of TF.5 Under physiological conditions, macrophages express a low basal TF level.

Effects of cigarette smoking on coagulation screening tests and platelet counts in a Sudanese male adults population

Multiple mechanisms are at play including up regulation of the tissue factor leading to the initiation of clotting, amplification of the clotting process by augmenting exposure of cellular coagulant phospholipids, inhibition of fibrinolysis by elevating plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), and depletion of natural anticoagulant, particularly targeted toward downregulation of the protein C anticoagulant pathway [15].

In the TEG functional fibrinogen test, the tissue factor is used for coagulation activation described classically as extrinsic, with the platelet function inhibited by ReoPro (abciximab, Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, Indiana), a GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor, so the resulting contribution of the functional fibrinogen to clot strength can be viewed.

Moreover, macrophages are also involved in atherosclerotic plaque thrombogenicity by their ability to produce both tissue factor (TF) and its natural inhibitor TFPI-1 [5, 6].

It has been shown that eosinophils may play an important role in thrombosis especially in hypereosinophilic disorders, involving enhanced tissue factor expression [11] and generating prothrombotic fibrin structure [12].

Posttranscriptional gene modulation by miRs involves several genes including Tissue Factor (TF) [2], the principal initiator of the clotting cascade, and a major regulator of haemostasis and thrombosis [3] expressed by circulating monocytes exposed to proinflammatory stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) [3] and high glucose (HG) [4].
