As per the classical view of the coagulation system, it functions solely in plasma to maintain hemostasis. An experimental approach modeling vascular reconstitution was used to show that vascular endothelial cells (ECs) endogenously synthesize coagulation factors during angiogenesis. Intracellular thrombin generated from this synthesis promotes the mitotic function of vascular endothelial cell growth factor A (VEGF-A). The thrombin concurrently cleaves C5a from EC-synthesized complement component C5 and unmasks the tethered ligand for EC-expressed protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4). The two ligands jointly trigger EC C5a receptor-1 (C5ar1) and PAR4 signaling, which together promote VEGF receptor 2 growth signaling. C5ar1 is functionally associated with PAR4, enabling C5a or thrombin to elicit Gαi and/or Gαq signaling. EC coagulation factor and EC complement component synthesis concurrently down-regulate with contact inhibition. The connection of these processes with VEGF receptor 2 signaling provides new insights into mechanisms underlying angiogenesis. Knowledge of endogenous coagulation factor/complement component synthesis and joint PAR4/C5ar1 signaling could be applied to other cell types.
