The role of exogenous Fibrinogen in cardiac surgery: stop bleeding or induce cardiovascular disease. Mol Biol Rep. 2020 Oct 07;: Authors: Zadeh FJ, Mohammadtaghizadeh M, Bahadori H, Saki N, Rezaeeyan H Abstract The surgical treatment contributes to broad variety of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Due to many involved factors in preoperative bleeding, it is almost difficult to perform better Haemostatic approach. Fibrinogen is a major blood glycoprotein and a coagulation factor which decreases postoperative bleeding. It has a potential role in platelet activation and bleeding inhibition; it may reflect the inflammatory responses and be related to the endothelial dysfunction. Fibrinogen can act as a pro-inflammatory element via increasing some inflammatory markers including IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), monocyte chemo attractant protein (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1a and b), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-1 and MMP-9) and Toll-like Receptors (TLRs); through activation of these factors, fibrinogen may induce some inflammatory mechanisms such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathways. It may cause endothelial dysfunction by increasing P and E-selection, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) levels which activate MAPK and NF-κB pathways. This factor is also associated with increased exoc...
