Abstract
Bleeding and thrombosis are known as common complications of polycythemia for a long time. However, the role of coagulation system in erythropoiesis is unclear. Here, we discover that an anticoagulant protein tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) plays an essential role in erythropoiesis via the control of heme biosynthesis in central macrophages. TFPI levels are elevated in erythroblasts of human erythroblastic islands with JAK2V617F mutation and hypoxia condition. Erythroid lineage-specific knockout TFPI results in impaired erythropoiesis through decreasing ferrochelatase expression and heme biosynthesis in central macrophages. Mechanistically, the TFPI interacts with thrombomodulin to promote the downstream ERK1/2-GATA1 signaling pathway to induce heme biosynthesis in central macrophages. Furthermore, TFPI blockade impairs human erythropoiesis in vitro, and normalizes the erythroid compartment in mice with polycythemia. These results show that erythroblast-derived TFPI plays an important role in the regulation of erythropoiesis and reveal an interplay between erythroblasts and central macrophages.

Abstract
Venous and arterial thromboembolism are major complications of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), comprising polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Global hemostasis assays, including thrombin generation assay (TGA), rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), and thromboelastography (TEG), have been proposed as biomarkers to assess the hypercoagulability and thrombotic risk stratification in MPNs. We performed a systematic literature review on the parameters of TGA, ROTEM, and TEG and their association with thrombotic events and treatment strategies in MPNs. Thirty-two studies (all cross-sectional) were included, which collectively enrolled 1,062 controls and 1,608 MPN patients. Among the 13 studies that reported arterial or venous thrombosis, the overall thrombosis rate was 13.8% with 6 splanchnic thromboses reported. Out of the 27 TGA studies, there was substantial heterogeneity in plasma preparation and trigger reagents employed in laboratory assays. There was a trend toward increased peak height among all MPN cohorts versus controls and higher endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) between ET patients versus controls. There was an overall trend toward lower ETP between PV and PMF patients versus. controls. There were no substantial differences in ETP between JAK2-positive versus JAK2-negative MPNs, prior history versus negative history of thrombotic events, and among different treatment strategies. Of the three ROTEM studies, there was a trend toward higher maximum clot firmness and shorter clot formation times for all MPNs versus controls. The three TEG studies had mixed results. We conclude that the ability of parameters from global hemostasis assays to predict for hypercoagulability events in MPN patients is inconsistent and inconclusive. Further prospective longitudinal studies are needed to validate these biomarker tools so that thrombotic potential could be utilized as a primary endpoint of such studies.

Abstract
(1) Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent complication in ambulatory lung cancer patients during chemotherapy and is associated with increased mortality. (2) Methods: We analyzed 568 newly diagnosed metastatic lung cancer patients prospectively enrolled in the HYPERCAN study. Blood samples collected before chemotherapy were tested for thrombin generation (TG) and a panel of hemostatic biomarkers. The Khorana risk score (KRS), new-Vienna CATS, PROTECHT, and CONKO risk assessment models (RAMs) were applied. (3) Results: Within 6 months, the cumulative incidences of VTE and mortality were 12% and 29%, respectively. Patients with VTE showed significantly increased levels of D-dimer, FVIII, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, and TG. D-dimer and ECOG performance status were identified as independent risk factors for VTE and mortality by multivariable analysis and utilized to generate a risk score that provided a cumulative incidence of VTE of 6% vs. 25%, death of 19% vs. 55%, and in the low- vs. high-risk group, respectively (p < 0.001). While all published RAMs significantly stratified patients for risk of death, only the CATS and CONKO were able to stratify patients for VTE. (4) Conclusions: A new prediction model was generated to stratify lung cancer patients for VTE and mortality risk, where other published RAMs failed.

Abstract
Vascular liver disorders (VLDs) comprise a wide spectrum of clinical-pathological entities that primarily affect the hepatic vascular system of both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients. VLDs more frequently involve the portal and the hepatic veins, as well as liver sinusoids, resulting in an imbalance of liver homeostasis with serious consequences, such as the development of portal hypertension and liver fibrosis. Surprisingly, many VLDs are characterized by a prothrombotic phenotype. The molecular mechanisms that cause thrombosis in VLD are only partially explained by the alteration in the Virchow's triad (hypercoagulability, blood stasis, and endothelial damage) and nowadays their pathogenesis is incompletely described and understood. Studies about this topic have been hampered by the low incidence of VLDs in the general population and by the absence of suitable animal models. Recently, the role of coagulation imbalance in liver disease has been postulated as one of the main mechanisms linked to fibrogenesis, so a novel interest in vascular alterations of the liver has been renewed. This review provides a detailed analysis of the current knowledge of molecular mechanisms of VLD. We also focus on the promising role of anticoagulation as a strategy to prevent liver complications and to improve the outcome of these patients.

Thrombin Generation and D-Dimer for Prediction of Disease Progression and Mortality in Patients with Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14184347.

Abstract
Background: the tight and reciprocal interaction between cancer and hemostasis has stimulated investigations on the possible role of hemostatic biomarkers in predicting specific cancer outcomes, such as disease progression (DP) and overall survival (OS). In a prospective cohort of newly diagnosed metastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients from the HYPERCAN study, we aimed to assess whether the hemostatic biomarker levels measured before starting any anticancer therapy may specifically predict for 6-months DP (6m-DP) and for 1-year OS (1y OS). Methods: plasma samples were collected and tested for thrombin generation (TG) as global hemostatic assay, and for D-dimer, fibrinogen, and prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 as hypercoagulation biomarkers. DP and mortality were monitored during follow-up. Results: A prospective cohort of 462 colorectal and 164 gastric cancer patients was available for analysis. After 6 months, DP occurred in 148 patients, providing a cumulative incidence of 24.8% (21.4−28.4). D-dimer and TG endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) were identified as independent risk factors for 6m-DP by multivariate Fine−Gray proportional hazard regression model corrected for age, cancer site, and >1 metastatic site. After 1 year, we observed an OS of 75.7% (71.9−79.0). Multivariate Cox regression analysis corrected for age, site of cancer, and performance status identified D-dimer and ETP as independent risk factors for 1y OS. Patients with one or both hemostatic parameters above the dichotomizing threshold were at higher risk for both 6m-DP and 1-year mortality. Conclusion.: in newly diagnosed metastatic GI cancer patients, pretreatment ETP and D-dimer appear promising candidate biomarkers for predicting 6m-DP and 1y OS. In this setting, for the first time, the role of TG as a prognostic biomarker emerges in a large prospective cohort.

Abstract
Background The current study aims to identify the relationships between coagulation factors and plasma thrombin generation in a large population-based study by comparing individuals with a history of arterial or venous thrombosis to cardiovascular healthy individuals. Methods This study comprised 502 individuals with a history of arterial disease, 195 with history of venous thrombosis and 1402 cardiovascular healthy individuals (reference group) from the population-based Gutenberg Health Study (GHS). Calibrated Automated Thrombography was assessed and coagulation factors were measured by means of BCS XP Systems. To assess the biochemical determinants of TG variables, a multiple linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex and antithrombotic therapy, was conducted. Results The lag time, the time to form the first thrombin, was mainly positively associated with the natural coagulant and anti-coagulant factors in the reference group, i.e. higher factors result in a longer lag time. The same determinants were negative for individuals with a history of arterial or venous thrombosis, with a 10 times higher effect size. Endogenous thrombin potential, or area under the curve, was predominantly positively determined by factor II, VIII, X and IX in all groups. However, the effect sizes of the reported associations were 4 times higher for the arterial and venous disease groups in comparison to the reference group. Conclusion This large-scale analysis demonstrated a stronger effect of the coagulant and natural anti-coagulant factors on the thrombin potential in individuals with a history of arterial or venous thrombosis as compared to healthy individuals, which implicates sustained alterations in the plasma coagulome in subjects with a history of thrombotic vascular disease, despite intake of antithrombotic therapy.

Performance and reference intervals of thrombin generation test: results from the Brazilian longitudinal study of adult health (ELSA-Brasil). A cross-sectional study. SAO PAULO MED J 2022; 140:474-485. [PMID: 35507991 PMCID: PMC9671247 DOI: 10.1590/1516-3180.2021.0425.r1.07102021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The thrombin generation test (TGT) has shown promise for investigation of hemorrhagic and thrombotic diseases. However, despite its potential, it still needs standardization. Moreover, few studies have established reference values for TGT parameters. In Brazil, these values have not yet been established. OBJECTIVE To determine TGT performance and reference intervals for TGT parameters in healthy individuals. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study conducted among participants in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto, ELSA-Brasil). METHODS The reference sample consisted of 620 healthy individuals. The calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) method, under low and high tissue factor (TF) conditions, was used to assess thrombin generation. Test performance was analyzed using intra and interassay coefficients of variation (CV) and reference intervals were calculated using the nonparametric method proposed by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. RESULTS The intraassay CV ranged from 1.4% to 2.2% and the interassay CV, 6.8% to 14.7%. The reference intervals for TGT parameters under low and high TF conditions were, respectively: lagtime: 3.0-10.3 and 1.4-3.7 min; endogenous thrombin potential (ETP): 1134.6-2517.9 and 1413.6-2658.0 nM.min; normalized ETP: 0.6-1.3 and 0.7-1.4; peak: 103.2-397.7 and 256.4-479.0 nM; normalized peak: 0.3-1.3 and 0.7-1.2; and time-to-peak: 5.6-16.0 and 3.4-6.7 min. These parameters were categorized relative to sex. CONCLUSION TGT performance was adequate and the proposed reference intervals were similar to those of other studies. Our findings may be useful for consolidating the TGT, through contributing to its standardization and validation.

Abstract
Thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications are related to a significant rate of
morbidity and mortality in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs),
they are therefore called “thrombohemorrhagic” syndromes. Several clinical
factors, such as age and presence of cardiovascular comorbidities are
responsible for thrombotic complications. High blood counts, platelet
alterations, presence of JAK2 mutation and possibly of other CHIP mutations such
as TET2, DNMT3A, and ASXL1, procoagulant microparticles, NETs formation,
endothelial activation and neo-angiogenesis are some of the parameters
accounting for hypercoagulability in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Bleeding complications emerge as a result of platelet exhaustion. They can be
also linked to a functional deficiency of von Willebrand factor, when platelet
counts rise above 1000G/L. The mainstay of management consists on preventing
hemostatic complications, by antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant treatment and
myelosuppressive agents in high-risk patients.Circumstances related to a high
thrombohemorrhagic risk, such as pregnancy and the perioperative period, prompt
for specific management with regards to anticoagulation and myelosuppression
treatment type. In order to apply a patient-specific treatment strategy, there
is a need for a risk score assessment tool encompassing clinical parameters and
hemostasis biomarkers.

Abstract
The goat model of atrial fibrillation (AF) allows investigation of the effect of AF on coagulation. However, assays for goat plasma are not available from commercial sources. Calibrated automated thrombography (CAT) provides a global view of the coagulation profile by assessing in vitro thrombin generation (TG). We describe the customization of the CAT assay in goat platelet-poor plasma (PPP) and in factor Xa (FXa)-inhibitor-anticoagulated PPP. TG was initiated in the presence of phospholipids and either (a) PPP reagent, reagent low, or reagent high; (b) goat brain protein extraction (GBP); or (c) Russell's viper venom-factor X activator (RVV-X). Contact activation was assessed by adding corn trypsin inhibitor. Different concentrations of prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) were used to determine the sensitivity of both the GBP and RVV-X method. To obtain FXa-inhibitor anticoagulated plasma, rivaroxaban was added to plasma. TG settings with human reagents were not suitable for goat plasma. TG triggered with GBP increased peak height and ETP values. Similarly, the RVV-X method produced comparable TG curves and was more sensitive to PCC titration. Finally, both methods were able to detect the decrease in clotting potential induced by FXa inhibition. This is the first study that reports the customization of the CAT assay for goats. The GBP and RVV-X methods were comparable in triggering TG in goat plasma. The RVV-X method seemed to better discriminate changes in TG curves due to increases in clotting potential as well as to FXa inhibition by rivaroxaban in goat plasma.

Abstract
Current cytoreductive and antithrombotic strategies in MPNs are mostly based on cell counts and on patient's demographic and clinical history. Despite the numerous studies conducted on platelet function and on the role of plasma factors, an accurate and reliable method to dynamically quantify the hypercoagulability states of these conditions is not yet part of clinical practice. Starting from our experience, and after having sifted through the literature, we propose an in-depth narrative report on the contribution of the clonal platelets of MPNs-rich in tissue factor (TF)-in promoting a perpetual procoagulant mechanism. The whole process results in an unbalanced generation of thrombin and is self-maintained by Protease Activated Receptors (PARs). We chose to define this model as a "circulating wound", as it indisputably links the coagulation, inflammation, and fibrotic progression of the disease, in analogy with what happens in some solid tumours. The platelet contribution to thrombin generation results in triggering a vicious circle supported by the PARs/TGF-beta axis. PAR antagonists could therefore be a good option for target therapy, both to contain the risk of vascular events and to slow the progression of the disease towards end-stage forms. Both the new and old strategies, however, will require tools capable of measuring procoagulant or prohaemorrhagic states in a more extensive and dynamic way to favour a less empirical management of MPNs and their potential clinical complications.

Abstract
Cancer patients are characterized by hypercoagulable state and an increased rate of thrombotic events, the most common being venous thromboembolism. Several hemostatic pathways that are significantly implicated in mechanisms of thromboembolic disease are also involved in growth, invasion, and metastatic spread of malignant cells as well in tumor-induced neo-angiogenesis. This close connection between cancer and the hemostatic system has prompted numerous studies on the role of alterations in the level plasma biomarkers of the different compartments of hemostasis in predicting cancer prognosis. In this review, we collect the results of several exemplificative studies that have evaluated clotting activation biomarkers in relation to different cancer outcomes with a final emphasis on current research and forthcoming directions in this field.

Abstract
Thrombotic, vascular, and bleeding complications are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In these disorders, circulating red cells, leukocytes, and platelets, as well as some vascular endothelial cells, each have abnormalities that are cell-intrinsic to the MPN driver mutations they harbor (eg, JAK2 V617F). When these cells are activated in the MPNs, their interactions with each other create a highly proadhesive and prothrombotic milieu in the circulation that predisposes patients with MPN to venous, arterial, and microvascular thrombosis and occlusive disease. Bleeding problems in the MPNs are caused by the MPN blood cell-initiated development of acquired von Willebrand disease. The inflammatory state created by MPN stem cells in their microenvironment extends systemically to amplify the clinical thrombotic tendency and, at the same time, preferentially promote further MPN stem cell clonal expansion, thereby generating a vicious cycle that favors a prothrombotic state in these diseases.

Abstract
Thrombosis, both in arterial and venous territories, is the major complication of myeloproliferative neoplasms and is responsible for a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The currently accepted risk factors are an age over 60 years and a history of thrombosis. However, many complex mechanisms contribute to this increased prothrombotic risk, with involvement of all blood cell types, plasmatic factors, and endothelial cells. Besides, some cardiovascular events may originate from arterial vasospasm that could contribute to thrombotic complications. In this review, we discuss recent results obtained in mouse models in the light of data obtained from clinical studies. We emphasize on actors of thrombosis that are currently not targeted with current therapeutics but could be promising targets, i.e, neutrophil extracellular traps and vascular reactivity.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal disorders of the hematopoietic stem cell. Classical BCR/ABL-negative MPNs include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Thrombotic events are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Pathogenesis of blood clotting activation involves various abnormalities of platelets, erythrocytes, and leukocytes, as well as dysfunctions of endothelial cells. Patients with MPN can be stratified in "high risk" or "low risk" of thrombosis according to established risk factors. ET and PV clinical management is highly dependent on the patient's thrombotic risk, and a risk-oriented management strategy to treat these diseases is strongly recommended. In this review, we give an overview of risk factors, pathogenesis, and thrombosis prevention and treatment in MPN.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ST Genesia is a benchtop, fully automated thrombin generation (TG) device. It is completely standardized and ensures a uniform heat distribution throughout the measurement. We aimed to determine reference values and to compare TG in men and women with and without the use of oral contraceptives (OCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma from 117 healthy donors was measured on the ST Genesia with the available reagent kits: STG-BleedScreen, STG-DrugScreen, and STG-ThromboScreen. All kits include at least two quality controls and a reference plasma to normalize data. STG-ThromboScreen has a second trigger containing thrombomodulin (TM) to include the effect on the protein C pathway. Means were compared with one-way analysis of variance and reference ranges were established with 2.5th to 97.5th percentiles on absolute TG parameters. RESULTS Mean age of the donors was 35 years (SD ± 12); 49.6% were men, 37.6% women without OCs, and 12.8% women with OCs. Men and women without OCs had, respectively, a mean peak height of 167 nM and 164 nM with STG-BleedScreen, 335 nM and 351 nM with STG-DrugScreen, and 192 nM and 198 nM with STG-ThromboScreen. Women taking OCs had a mean peak height of 263 nM, 473 nM, and 312nM, respectively (P < .05 compared to men/women without OCs). TM decreased endogenous thrombin potential by 54% in men, 47% in women without OCs, and only 25% in women with OCs (P < .05 compared to men/women without OCs). CONCLUSIONS TG in men and women without OCs was similar; however, women taking OCs had significantly higher TG values, and the effect of TM was also less pronounced in these women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients present with a hypercoagulable state often associated with poor disease prognosis. OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate whether thrombin generation (TG), a global coagulation test, may be a useful tool to improve the identification of patients at high risk of early disease recurrence (ie, E-DR within 2 years) after breast cancer surgery. PATIENTS/METHODS A cohort of 522 newly diagnosed patients with surgically resected high-risk breast cancer were enrolled in the ongoing prospective HYPERCAN study. TG potential was measured in plasma samples collected before starting systemic chemotherapy. Significant predictive hemostatic and clinic-pathological parameters were identified in the derivation cohort by Cox regression analysis. A risk prognostic score for E-DR was generated in the derivation and tested in the validation cohort. RESULTS After a median observation period of 3.4 years, DR occurred in 51 patients, 28 of whom were E-DR. E-DR subjects presented with the highest TG values as compared to both late-DR (from 2 to 5 years) and no relapse subjects (P < .01). Multivariate analysis in the derivation cohort identified TG, mastectomy, triple negative and Luminal B HER2-neg molecular subtypes as significant independent predictors for E-DR, which were utilized to generate a risk assessment score. In the derivation and validation cohorts, E-DR rates were 2.3% and 0% in the low-risk, 10.1% and 6.3% in the intermediate-risk, and 18.2% and 16.7%, in the high-risk categories, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Inclusion of TG in a risk-assessment model for E-DR significantly helps the identification of operated breast cancer patients at high risk of very early relapse.

Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), or hepatic venous outflow obstruction, is a rare cause of liver disease that should not be missed. Variable clinical presentation among patients with BCS necessitates a high index of suspicion to avoid missing this life-threatening diagnosis. BCS is characterized as primary or secondary, depending on etiology of venous obstruction. Most patients with primary BCS have several contributing risk factors leading to a prothrombotic state. A multidisciplinary stepwise approach is integral in treating BCS. Lifelong anticoagulation is recommended. Long-term monitoring of patients for development of cirrhosis, complications of portal hypertension, hepatocellular carcinoma, and progression of underlying diseases is important.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are associated with an increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis. Pegylated-interferon alpha (IFN) and hydroxyurea (HU) are commonly used to treat MPN, but their effect on hemostasis has not yet been studied. The aim of our study was to determine whether IFN and HU impact the biological hemostatic profile of MPN patients by studying markers of endothelial, platelet, and coagulation activation. A total of 85 patients (50 polycythemia vera and 35 essential thrombocythemia) were included: 28 treated with IFN, 35 with HU, and 22 with no cytoreductive drug (non-treated, NT). Von Willebrand factor, shear-induced platelet aggregation, factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C), fibrinogen, and thrombin generation with and without exogenous thrombomodulin were significantly higher in IFN-treated patients compared to NT patients, while protein S anticoagulant activity was lower. In 10 patients in whom IFN therapy was discontinued, these hemostatic biomarkers returned to the values observed in NT patients, strongly suggesting an impact of IFN therapy on endothelial and coagulation activation. Overall, our study shows that treatment with IFN is associated with significant and reversible effects on the biological hemostatic profile of MPN patients. Whether they could be associated with an increased thrombotic risk remains to be determined in further randomized clinical studies.

Abstract
: The aim of the study was to assess the activity of protein C, protein S and tissue factor pathway inhibitor in relation to the risk factors for thrombotic complications in patients with essential thrombocythemia.The study group consisted of 45 newly diagnosed patients with essential thrombocythemia. Protein S activity was determined by chromogenic method. Activities of protein C and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) were determined using ELISAs.Significantly lower protein C and protein S activity but higher TFPI activity were found in patients with ET in comparison with the control group. TFPI activity was higher in women as compared to men, and in patients over 60 years of age compared with patients below 60 years of age. TFPI activity was higher in patients with leukocytes count at least 11 g/l than in patients with leukocytes count below 11 g/l and the difference almost reached statistical significance. Significantly lower protein C activity was found in patients with the JAK2V617F mutation, in comparison with essential thrombocythemia patients JAK2V617F (-).The reduced protein C and protein S activity may be one of the pathogenic factors of increased prothrombotic state in essential thrombocythemia patients. The decreased protein C activity in patients with the JAK2 V617F mutation seems to confirm the significant role of this mutation in the pathogenesis of thrombotic complications in essential thrombocythemia patients. Significantly increased TFPI activity in essential thrombocythemia patients above 60 years of age and with leukocyte count above 11 g/l expresses the activation of the compensatory mechanism for increased prothrombotic activity.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are acquired hematological malignancies, mainly affecting the adult and whose morbidity and mortality stems from haemostasis disorders. The most frequently encountered complications include thrombosis, affecting preferentially the arterial territory, but also atypical locations such as splanchnic vein thrombosis. The pathophysiology of these thromboses is complex and involves different actors: blood cells, endothelium and flow conditions. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify risk factors for thrombosis. To date, only two risk factors have been validated through prospective studies (age over 60 years old, history of thrombotic events) and allow classification of patients as "low risk" and "high risk" as the basis for current treatment recommendations. Haemorrhagic manifestations, less frequent than thrombosis, are mainly related to an alteration of primary haemostasis and are therefore manifested by mucocutaneous bleeding. In these patients, platelet dysfunctions and/or acquired Willebrand syndromes can be found. The pathophysiology of thrombosis and platelet dysfunction during myeloproliferative neoplasms remains to date partially unknown. In this review, we offer to focus on physiopathological mechanisms as well as the latest advances in their understanding.

Abstract
BCR-ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasms are acquired hematologic diseases characterized by blood cell proliferation and that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocytemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Occurring of venous and arterial thrombosis is the main complication of these diseases. Risk factors for thrombosis are individuals older than 60 and history of thrombosis. The mechanisms leading to thrombosis are complex and involve several blood compartments, plasmatic factors and endothelial cells. Over the last years, new actors of thrombosis have been discovered.

Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome and non-cirrhotic non-tumoral portal vein thrombosis are 2 rare disorders, with several similarities that are categorized under the term splanchnic vein thrombosis. Both disorders are frequently associated with an underlying prothrombotic disorder. They can cause severe portal hypertension and usually affect young patients, negatively influencing life expectancy when the diagnosis and treatment are not performed at an early stage. Yet, they have specific features that require individual consideration. The current review will focus on the available knowledge on pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of both entities.

Abstract
Portal vein thrombosis unrelated to solid malignancy is common in patients with cirrhosis, but less frequently observed in patients without cirrhosis. Prompt diagnosis and management of acute symptomatic portal vein thrombosis are essential. Failure to detect and treat thromboses can result in mesenteric ischemia, chronic cavernous transformation, and complications of portal hypertension. In patients with cirrhosis, development of portal vein thrombosis is often insidious and remains undetected until its incidental detection. Management of portal vein thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis is more controversial. However, there are data to support treatment of specific patients with anticoagulation agents. We review the common and distinct features of portal vein thromboses in patients without liver tumors, with and without cirrhosis.

Abstract
The high occurrence of cancer-associated thrombosis is associated with elevated thrombin generation. Tumour cells increase the potential for thrombin generation both directly, through the expression and release of procoagulant factors, and indirectly, through signals that activate other cell types (including platelets, leukocytes and erythrocytes). Furthermore, cancer treatments can worsen these effects. Coagulation factors, including tissue factor, and inhibitors of coagulation are altered and extracellular vesicles (EVs), which can promote and support thrombin generation, are released by tumour and other cells. Some phosphatidylserine-expressing platelet subsets and platelet-derived EVs provide the surface required for the assembly of coagulation factors essential for thrombin generation in vivo. This review will explore the causes of increased thrombin production in cancer, and the availability and utility of tests and biomarkers. Increased thrombin production not only increases blood coagulation, but also promotes tumour growth and metastasis and as a consequence, thrombin and its contributors present opportunities for treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis and cancer itself.

Abstract
The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal stem cell-derived diseases. This chapter focuses on the subcategory of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-negative classical MPNs, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF). These MPNs are associated with both microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis, which may occur in the venous and arterial circulation. Erythrocytosis, leukocytosis, and increased JAK2V617F allele burden are known to be risk factors. In this chapter, we review the thrombotic and hemostatic manifestations of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-negative classical MPNs, including the clinical manifestations, the pathophysiology, as well as management.

Abstract
Malignant disease is characterized by a hemostatic imbalance, usually shifted towards a procoagulant direction, and a high incidence of thrombotic complications. The mechanisms of hemostasis that are critically involved in thrombosis are also implicated in tumor progression, angiogenesis, and metastatic spread. As there is a close relationship between cancer and the clotting system, circulating biomarkers of activation of various hemostasis compartments (i.e. coagulation, fibrinolysis, platelets, endothelium, and other blood cells) have been extensively studied to predict cancer outcomes along with predicting the thrombotic risk. In this review, we will summarize the results of published studies and will focus on ongoing research and future directions of clotting activation bioproducts as biomarkers of cancer disease and progression.

Abstract
: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are independent risks for thrombotic events. Routine laboratory tests are inadequate to evaluate the underlying procoagulant state. Global coagulation assays such as thromboelastography, thrombin and fibrin generation may provide better assessment of coagulation activation and thereby of thrombosis risk. Participants with MPN were recruited. Thromboelastography was performed on citrated whole blood while thrombin generation using calibrated automated thrombogram, fibrin generation using overall haemostatic potential assays and P-selectin were quantified on platelet-poor plasma. Thirty-eight MPN patients (median age: 65 years) were recruited. There were 26 patients with essential thrombocythemia (68.4%), eight polycythemia vera (20.5%), three primary myelofibrosis and one MPN, unclassifiable. Compared with normal controls, there was no difference in maximum amplitude although lysis time (LY30) was significantly higher (2.9 vs. 0.6%, adjusted P < 0.01) using thromboelastography. Calibrated automated thrombogram showed higher thrombin peak (260.8 vs. 222.6 nmol/l; P < 0.01) and velocity index (91.1 vs. 65.0 nmol/l/min; P < 0.01) with comparable endogenous thrombin potential. Fibrin generation parameters were significantly reduced with preserved overall fibrinolytic potential, whereas P-selectin was markedly increased (108.9 vs. 49.3 ng/ml, P < 0.01). This study demonstrated unique differences between MPN population and normal controls using a combination of global coagulation assays. The presence of high lysis time (LY30) and reduced fibrin generation in MPN patients were contradictory to the prothrombotic nature and may represent a compensatory effort to achieve equilibrium within the Virchow's triad. Both markers may be important prognostic indicators of thrombosis in MPN and further prospective studies to confirm these findings are proposed.

Abstract
Background : It is still a matter of debate regarding the association of JAK2V617F mutation with thrombosis in BCR-ABL negative CMPN patients. The role of JAK2V617F mutation in increasing the thrombotic risk in CMPNs is yet unequivocal. Aims : To clarify the contribution of JAK2V617F mutation in thrombosis in CMPN patients. Settings and Design This retrospective study was done to evaluate role of JAK2V617F mutation in thrombosis in CMPNs. Materials and Methods 65 CMPN patients (PV, ET and PMF) were analyzed for JAK2V617F mutation using ARMS-PCR and detailed history of thrombosis was recorded in these patients. Statistical Analysis P values were 2 tailed, and statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results : 46/65 were males and 19/65 were females [M: F: 2.4:1] with median age 46 years [range, 14-80 years]. Patients had median Hb 15.6 g/dl [range, 5.1-20.3], median TLC 10.7 × 109/l [range 2.4-216] and platelet count 360 × 109/l [range, 20-1859]. 32 were JAK2V617F positive and 33 were negative for this mutation. On comparing the prevalence of thrombosis in JAK2V617F positive patients with JAK2V617F negative patients, we observed that 20/32 (62.5%) JAK2V617F positive patients had thrombosis as compared to 16/33 (48%) in JAK2V617F negative patients (P = 0.04). We observed significant association of JAK2V617F mutation with thrombosis, however no association of this mutation with thrombosis was observed among the JAK2V617F negative patients. Conclusion Our study suggests that JAK2V617F mutation may increase the risk of thrombosis in CMPNs. This finding could lead to risk stratification, setting up the treatment strategy in CMPNs.

Abstract
There are lot of grey zones in Philadelphia negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (CMPNs) and that's the reason they are in hit list of researchers. Having a spectrum of disorders their diagnosis is very important and especially to differentiate from each other since they overlap with each other in many ways. Diagnosis doesn't start from lab but with clinical phenotype. Clinical phenotype not only able to provide us the diagnosis but also helps in management of the disease per se. When diagnosis comes, the old timer but an evergreen morphology plays an important role which along with the newer generation tool "molecular" helps in differentiating these disorders. Lot of studies have already come up from the world. Indian data has also started coming up. When we say about the Indian data nothing holds more important role than Indian Society of Haematology and Blood Transfusion, ISHBT. This small review will cover all papers with BCR-ABL negative CMPNs which were presented at the annual national conference of the ISHBT (Haematocon 2017) which was conducted at Guwahati. These abstract papers from various reputed institutes and centres will provide a short academic journey towards ongoing research activities at these places and will able to guide us regarding Philadelphia negative CMPNs and also stimulate our brain for some left or conflicted areas.

Phosphatidylserine-exposing blood and endothelial cells contribute to the hypercoagulable state in essential thrombocythemia patients. Ann Hematol 2018; 97:605-616. [PMID: 29332224 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-018-3228-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2017] [Accepted: 12/28/2017] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
The mechanisms of thrombogenicity in essential thrombocythemia (ET) are complex and not well defined. Our objective was to explore whether phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on blood cells and endothelial cells (ECs) can account for the increased thrombosis and distinct thrombotic risks among mutational subtypes in ET. Using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, we found that the levels of PS-exposing erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes, and serum-cultured ECs were significantly higher in each ET group [JAK2, CALR, and triple-negative (TN) (all P < 0.001)] than those in controls. Among ET patients, those with JAK2 mutations showed higher levels of PS-positive erythrocytes, platelets, neutrophils, and serum-cultured ECs than TN patients or those with CALR mutations, which show similar levels. Coagulation function assays showed that higher levels of PS-positive blood cells and serum-cultured ECs led to markedly shortened coagulation time and dramatically increased levels of FXa, thrombin, and fibrin production. This procoagulant activity could be largely blocked by addition of lactadherin (approx. 70% inhibition). Confocal microscopy showed that the FVa/FXa complex and fibrin fibrils colocalized with PS on ET serum-cultured ECs. Additionally, we found a relationship between D-dimer, prothrombin fragment F1 + 2, and PS exposure. Our study reveals a previously unrecognized link between hypercoagulability and exposed PS on cells, which might also be associated with distinct thrombotic risks among mutational subtypes in ET. Thus, blocking PS-binding sites may represent a new therapeutic target for preventing thrombosis in ET.

Abstract
SummaryThe natural anticoagulant protein S contains a so-called thrombin-sensitive region (TSR), which is susceptible to proteolytic cleavage. We have previously shown that a platelet-associated protease is able to cleave protein S under physiological plasma conditions in vitro. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between platelet-associated protein S cleaving activity and in vivo protein S cleavage, and to evaluate the impact of in vivo protein S cleavage on its anticoagulant activity. Protein S cleavage in healthy subjects and in thrombocytopenic and thrombocythaemic patients was evaluated by immunological techniques. Concentration of cleaved and intact protein S was correlated to levels of activated protein C (APC)-dependent and APC-independent protein S anticoagulant activity. In plasma from healthy volunteers 25% of protein S is cleaved in the TSR. While in plasma there was a clear positive correlation between levels of intact protein S and both APC-dependent and APC-independent protein S anticoagulant activities, these correlations were absent for cleaved protein S. Protein S cleavage was significantly increased in patients with essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and significantly reduced in patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. In ET patients on cytoreductive therapy, both platelet count and protein S cleavage returned to normal values. Accordingly, platelet transfusion restored cleavage of protein S to normal values in patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. In conclusion, proteases from platelets seem to contribute to the presence of cleaved protein S in the circulation and may enhance the coagulation response in vivo by down regulating the anticoagulant activity of protein S.

Abstract
SummaryEach individual possesses his/her own endogenous-thrombin-potential (ETP) (i. e. the ability to generate thrombin) which depends on the relative strength of the pro- and anticoagulant drivers operating in plasma. This ability depends in turn on the clinical conditions in which the balance between the two drivers is variably affected. One of the major determinants of this balance is the factor (F)VIII-protein C(PC) axis and its effect can be conveniently explored by the thrombin generation procedures with results expressed as ETP ratio with/without thrombomodulin (TM) (ETP-TM ratio). Furthermore, owing to the many feedback mechanisms mediated by thrombin (e. g. activation of PC, FXI, FV, FVIII, platelets etc.) it is also possible that any perturbation of the balance between pro- and anticoagulants that may occur in plasma even outside the FVIII-PC axis could result in an increased ETPTM ratio and therefore may suggest a procoagulant imbalance. Indeed, other non-coagulation moieties (e. g. microparticles, neutrophil extracellular traps, pro-inflammatory cytokines and others) circulating in blood of patients with various clinical conditions may also contribute to the procoagulant imbalance even when FVIII and/or PC are apparently normal. It can be postulated that dual ETP measurements performed in the presence and absence of TM with results expressed as their ratio may be the candidate procedure to detect subtle procoagulant imbalance in many clinical conditions characterised by an increased risk of thromboembolism. This article aimed at reviewing the clinical conditions in which evidence for the value of the ETP-TM ratio has been provided.

Abstract
We enrolled 62 consecutive patients with advanced stage cancers and venous thromboembolism (VTE), prospectively followed until 1 year. All patients received 6 month low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) therapy. We evaluated thrombin generation (TG) and D-dimer levels at different time points, to determine whether they were sensitive to LMWH and explore a possible association with VTE recurrence, bleeding, and overall survival. During LMWH, levels of TG and D-dimer significantly dropped. No VTE recurrences occurred, one patient had cancer-related intestinal hemorrhage. LMWH treatment was effective in controlling patient hypercoagulation. No VTE recurrences were detected. High D-dimer concentration was an independent predictor of poor survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It has been recently suggested that microparticles (MP) play a role in the pathogenesis of thrombotic complications. This study aimed to assess the contribution of procoagulant activity expressed by circulating MP in thrombotic events in MPN patients. METHODS Seventy-four MPN patients were enrolled in a trans-sectional study. The MP procoagulant activity was measured using two assays: (i) the thrombin generation (TG) assay used in different conditions with the addition of both tissue factor (TF) and phospholipids (PL) and with the addition of TF or PL alone and (ii) the PROCOAG-PPL assay. RESULTS The mean age was 62 (26 men and 48 women). The prevalence of thrombotic events was 28%. When comparing patients with thrombosis to those without, age, sex, MPN type, cardiovascular risk factors, and history of thrombosis were not significantly associated with thrombosis. The JAK2 V617F mutation was significantly associated with thrombotic events (90% vs 67%; P=.04). Results from the TG assay and the PROCOAG-PPL assays did not demonstrate a significant association between the MP procoagulant activity and thrombotic events. CONCLUSION The MP procoagulant activity did not predict thrombosis in MPN patients. The contribution of TG assay in the assessment of the thrombotic risk is still in debate.

Abstract
The HYPERCAN is a prospective observational Italian multicentre study started in 2012, structured in two main projects (i.e. Projects A and B) that involve both healthy subjects and cancer patients. The HYPERCAN study aims to assess whether the occurrence of a hypercoagulable state may be predictive of cancer diagnosis in healthy individuals, or may be predictive of disease recurrence, clinical progression and thrombosis in cancer patients. Project A involves two different large cohorts of subjects: The first cohort (Project A-1) consists of 10,000 healthy volunteer blood donors to be enrolled and prospectively follow-up for cancer occurrence, while the second cohort (Project A-2) consists of 25,000 people already enrolled in the framework of the general population-based Moli-Sani study. Project B involves 4,000 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of four different cancer types (both limited/resected or metastatic diseases), i.e. non-small cell-lung, gastric, colorectal, and breast cancer, to be enrolled and followed up for 5years or death. Blood samples from all enrolled subjects are collected at baseline and then at different time intervals according to specific time schedules set up for either normal subjects, or patients with limited cancers, or patients with metastatic cancers. Samples will be analysed for a panel of hemostatic proteins, clotting activation biomarkers, thrombin generation, procoagulant microparticles, and thrombophilic polymorphisms. As of November 2015, 6,189 healthy blood donors have been enrolled in project A-1 and 2,532 cancer patients in project B. Clinical follow-up and biological assays are ongoing. The HYPERCAN study wants to explore in different subset of individuals, affected and non-affected by malignant disease, the relationship between coagulation and cancer. The prospective design and the involvement of a large number of individuals will definitively clarify whether alterations in circulating thrombotic markers may be predictive of cancer diagnosis in an otherwise healthy subject and/or may be prognostic of cancer outcome, or of disease progression/relapse in cancer-affected individuals. Finally, the proposed screening with relatively simple and non-high-cost laboratory tests and the use of easy-obtainable peripheral blood samples add a very relevant translational value to this study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to explore the relationship between JAK2V617F mutation allele burden and hematological parameters especially in coagulation function in Chinese population. METHODS This study included 133 Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) patients between 2013 and 2016. All the clinical and experimental data of patients were collected at the time of the diagnosis without any prior treatment, including blood parameters, coagulation function, splenomegaly, vascular events and chromosome karyotype. PCR and qPCR were used to detect JAK2V617F mutation and JAK2V617F mutation allele burden. RESULTS In polycythemia vera patients, a positive correlation between the allele burden of JAK2V617F mutation and PLT counts was found; in essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients, WBC counts, RBC counts, HB, and HCT were higher in mutated patients than in wild-type patients. Furthermore, PT-INR was higher in ET and PMF mutated patients. In addition, a positive correlation between the allele burden of JAK2V617F mutation and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was observed in JAK2V617F mutated ET patients. CONCLUSIONS Higher hematologic parameters including counts of WBC, RBC, and PLT are closely associated with JAK2V617F mutation and its burden in Ph-negative MPNs; importantly, PT-INR, APTT are also related to JAK2V617F mutation and allele burden. Thus, our data indicate that JAK2V617F mutation allele burden might not only represent the burden of MPN but also alter the coagulation function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients of MPN commonly present with abnormalities in laboratory coagulation tests that are consistent with hypercoagulable state. Some individuals with MPN exhibit a pattern of exclusive bleeding or thrombotic events; many others have both bleeding and thrombosis during the course of the disease. AIM This study was undertaken to assess the haemostatic defects and platelet functions in patients of MPN. MATERIALS AND METHODS One year prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in North India in Department of Pathology in collaboration with Department of Clinical Haematology. All recently diagnosed cases of MPN along with 30 age and sex matched controls were included. Patients on antiplatelet drugs, antimyeloproliferative treatment, vitamin K agonists or antagonists, OCPs, Platelet count <1,00,000/μl, high grade fever, liver disease, pregnancy were excluded from this study. All the patients underwent screening investigations like CBC, peripheral smear evaluation, BT, PT, aPTT, Protein C and S measurement (clot based assay) and aggregation studies with ADP (5μM) (Optical Aggregometry with AGGRO/LINK 8 software and CHRONOLOG 700 aggregometer). RESULTS In present study, 50 cases were included. There was an occult prothrombotic state, suggested by significantly (p<0.001) reduced levels of Protein C and Protein S, but no patient presented with frank thrombosis while 8 out of 50 patients had haemorrhagic manifestations ranging from subdural haematoma to pin point petechial haemorrhages. Patients of CML-CP, ET, PV, PMF, MPN-NOS showed significantly reduced maximal aggregation with ADP (5μM) when compared to control (p<0.001). MPV also showed a statistically significant increase in these patients. CONCLUSION Thrombohaemorrhagic complications significantly affect the morbidity and mortality of MPN patients. This can be assessed by the use of platelet aggregation studies, Protein C and S activities and other coagulation studies. Timely diagnosis of these prothrombotic/haemorrhagic states can decrease the morbidity in these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPN), polycytemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), are prone to develop thrombotic events. We aimed to investigate the coagulation status in their plasma using thrombin generation assay (TGA), a functional global assay, on Ceveron® Alpha.
Materials and methods: The samples were collected from 89 consecutive Ph-negative MPN patients and from 78 controls into K2EDTA and CTAD tubes for blood cell counts, TGA and coagulation screening tests. Thrombin generation was analysed in platelet-poor plasma using Technothrombin® TGA assay kit.
Results: We found a significantly increased peak thrombin generation (p=0.049) and velocity index (VI) (p=0.012) in patients in comparison with controls, especially in ET patients, and a significantly higher values for peak thrombin (p=0.043) and VI (p=0.042) in patients receiving anagrelide in comparison with those treated with hydroxyurea. We also noticed an inverse correlation between the length of cytoreductive therapy and TGA parameters, (peak thrombin R=-0.25, p=0.018, AUC R=-0.257, p=0.015, and VI R=-0.21, p=0.048).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that Ph-MPN patients, and especially those with ET, are predisposed to thrombotic events due to their higher peak thrombin and VI values and their risk may decreases as treatment is longer. Patients treated with hydroxyurea generate less thrombin and could be less prone to develop thrombotic events in comparison with those treated with anagrelide.

Abstract
Thrombocytosis is a frequent laboratory finding but not a diagnosis. Therefore, elevated platelet counts (>450 x 109/l) require careful diagnostic work-up to differentiate between reactive thrombocytosis (RT), caused by various conditions, and essential thrombocythemia (ET), a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). In either setting, aspirin is widely used in clinical practice. However, RT (even at platelet counts >1000 x 109/l) has never been shown to cause thrombosis or bleeding due to acquired von Willebrand factor defects in association with high platelet counts. Identification of reactive conditions and appropriate therapy of the underlying disorder are most relevant. By contrast to RT, ET and related MPN can be associated with thrombosis and/or hemorrhage. Current recommendations suggest the use of low-dose aspirin in all patients with ET unless contraindicated. However, the strength of this recommendation is weak, i. e. evidence level IIb grade B. A potential benefit of aspirin used for primary thromboprophylaxis in ET is mostly derived from the ECLAP study in polycythemia vera (PV). However, translating study results from PV to ET appears to be highly questionable and may be biased. In the absence of robust data regarding the benefit-risk balance of aspirin in ET, it appears reasonable (1) to stratify patients according to their individual thrombotic and bleeding risk, (2) to restrict the use of aspirin to high-risk categories and patients with microcirculatory disturbances, (3) to test for pharmacological efficacy (COX-1 inhibition; measurement of TXB2), and (4) to modify the aspirin dosing regimen (twice instead of once daily) if required.
