The development of new therapies for the treatment of VTE and the prevention of its sequelae will require a more thorough understanding of venous thrombosis, propagation, and resolution. The goals of any new therapy should be a reduction in hemorrhagic complications and increased effi cacy.
Infl ammation and Thrombosis
In the 1850s, Ludwig Rudolf Karl Virchow postulated what came to be known as Virchow’s Triad of risk factors for DVT formation: blood stasis, vessel wall injury, and changes in the constituents of blood (hypercoagulability). A contemporary view still benefi ts from this framework but is informed by knowledge of genetics and molecular biology. Mammalian physiology strikes a fi ne balance among coagu­lation factors, inhibitors of coagulation, and fi brinolytic factors to optimize hemostasis while maintaining fl uidity and end-organ oxygen delivery. There are many described perturbations in this balance leading to hemophilic and thrombophilic disorders. These perturbations are discussed in detail in other chapters of this text.
A signifi cant advance from the time of Virchow occurred with the work of Stewart et al. in 1974, who suggested a link between vascular infl ammation and thrombosis.19 Stew­art’s original hypothesis stated that the initiating factors that promote thrombosis cause the activation of leukocytes and platelets. She proposed that this activation leads to the local­ization of leukocytes and platelets to the area of injury, resulting in amplifi cation of the thrombus. Advances in molecular biology since 1974 have allowed the elucidation of the relationship between infl ammatory mediators and pathways with the coagulation cascade. Infl ammatory mediators upregulate procoagulant factors and downregulate natural anticoagulants while inhibiting fi brinolysis (see Table 37.1). mation such as the pro-infl ammatory cytokine TNFα, cyto­kines released locally from the area of injury such as IL-6 and IL-8, or factors localized within the growing thrombus such as thrombin. Our research has focused on strategies to treat venous thrombosis and prevent vein wall fi brosis via inhibition of selectin signaling.

SELECTIN AND MICROPARTICLE
BIOLOGY
Selectin Overview
The selectins are a well-conserved family of glycopro­tein, transmembrane molecules expressed on the surface of leukocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells. They play a crucial role in leukocyte and platelet rolling and adhesion to areas of vascular injury and infl ammation.21 Three selectins have been described: L-selectin, E-selectin, and P-selectin. P-selectins are stored as transmembrane proteins in pre­formed cytoplasmic granules mobilized by activated plate­lets and endothelial cells. E-selectin is inducible on vascular endothelium, and L-selectins are expressed by nearly all leukocytes.
The selectin family has a unique extracellular structure consisting of an amino terminal calcium dependent lectin domain, an epidermal growth factor-like domain, and two to nine consensus repeat sequences (CRS) that are homolo­gous to complement binding domains. They also possess a lipophilic transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail. The variable structural length of consensus repeat sequences determines which complementary ligand carbo­hydrates the conserved lectin and epidermal growth factor domains it will interact with.22 L-selectin has two consensus repeat sequences, E-selectin six consensus repeat sequences and P-selectin nine consensus repeat sequences.
Leukocyte adhesion to endothelium is controlled by the binding of vascular selectins to leukocyte expressed gly­coproteins or glycolipids containing the tetrasaccharide sialyl-Lewisx (sialic acid, galactose, fucose and N-acetyl­galactosamine).22 The ligands for P-selectin (PSGL-1) and E-selectin (not well defi ned) are found on leukocytes, and the ligands for L-selectin (CD34, MAdCAM-1) are found on endothelial cells. Each ligand functions by presenting O-linked saccharide chains to the calcium dependent lectin domain on the corresponding selectin. Our research has focused on modulating the P-selectin:PSGL-1 signaling axis with the therapeutic goals of preventing DVT formation,

Selectin Biology
P-selectin is stored in the alpha granules of platelets and in the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells (EC).23 Exposure to an activating stimulus such as thrombin results in rapid translocation of P-selectin to the cell surface, avoiding the need for transcription or translation.24 E­selectin is upregulated after the initiation of thrombosis in a transcription-dependent fashion. P-selectin can be secreted into the circulation as a component of EC and platelet­derived microparticles (MP) or, in small quantities, as a free, alternatively spliced version lacking a transmembrane domain.25 These two forms of soluble P-selectin are elevated in humans in association with atherosclerosis and thrombo­sis and are predictive of future adverse cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Soluble P-selectin levels are also elevated at times of over­whelming systemic thrombosis and consumption, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
29
P-selectin plays a critical role in the initial adhesion and rolling of platelets and leukocytes to areas of injury and infl ammation via the P-selectin receptor, P-selectin glyco­protein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). P-selectin also plays a prominent role in hemostasis and thrombosis through PSGL-1 signal­ing in leukocytes and platelets and GPIbα in platelets. P­selectin defi cient mice demonstrate a hemophilic phenotype with marked bleeding tendencies.30 Mice with a deletion of the transmembrane domain of P-selectin have elevated levels of circulating P-selectin resulting in thrombophilia. P-selectin based therapy has been demonstrated to correct a mouse model of hemophilia.
31
In animal models of DVT, we, and others, have demon­strated that P-selectin expression regulates fi brin deposition and thrombus size.
32,33
We have also demonstrated that
P-selectin and E-selectin deletions are associated with
fi brin content.
34
In a primate model of stasis-induced DVT, P-selectin blocking antibodies or antibodies blocking the P­selectin receptor, PSGL-1, inhibit thrombosis and promote recanalization.
35,36
In animal models we have found that P­selectin blockade with monoclonal antibodies has been found to be as effective as low molecular weight heparin in promot­ing thrombus resolution and preventing vein wall thrombo­sis, all without the risk of hemorrhagic complications.
We have also demonstrated that P-selectin inhibition is an effective treatment for established primate and rodent iliofemoral DVT through augmentation of fi brinolytic

selectin inhibition.
A reduction in the fi brin content of
thrombi formed in the presence of P-selectin inhibition is likely contributory, as leukocyte-platelet interactions leading to fi brin deposition are P-selectin dependent.

Microparticles
Microparticles (MP) are small (less than 1 micrometer, about the size of a bacterium) phospholipid vesicles that are shed from a variety of cell types including platelets, leuko­cytes, and endothelial cells. constituent of blood and can be isolated from plasma by ultracentrifugation. Microparticles lack DNA and RNA but are protein rich. All circulating blood cells, platelets, and endothelial cells are capable of releasing MP in a calcium­dependent fashion. The protein expression profi le of MP depends on the mother cell of origin and the conditions infl uencing their production. The protein and phospholipid content of MP determines the biologic activity of MP with regard to hemostasis and other physiologic processes. Sub­populations of MP rich in tissue factor (TF) and phosphati­dylserine, two critical components of the coagulation cascade, have been identifi ed. of infl ammation once thought to be soluble actually are carried by MP.
47
Lipid rafts are sphingolipid ordered, cholesterol-rich microdomains fl oating within the more fl uid cell surface bilayer (the “fl uid mosaic”).48 These rafts allow for the con­centration of receptor clusters, G-proteins, adaptor proteins, and downstream kinases to facilitate signal transduction through the concentration of the proximal machinery of cell signaling pathways.49 Apoptotic blebs and microparticles are derived from raft-rich regions of the plasma membrane, resulting in high concentrations of cholesterol, negatively charged phospholipids, and protein complexes, as compared with the cell of origin.
Microparticles are rich in the external leafl et aminophos­pholipids phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine providing a critical, negatively charged substrate for coagu­lation. Under quiescent conditions, membrane asymmetry is maintained by the active transport of nonthrombotic, choline phospholipids to the outer leafl et in exchange for amino­phospholipids by the enzymes fl ippase and fl oppase. Cellu­lar activation results in the induction of scramblase activity and the inhibition of fl ippase. This results in a loss of asym­metry and induction of a procoagulant phenotype. to mobilize aminophospholipids to the outer membrane leafl et due to defective phospholipid translocation results in a bleeding tendency manifested as Scott syndrome.

inhibitor (TFPI).52 Fusion of MP with activated platelets results in decryption of TF and the initiation of thrombosis.53 Monocytes concentrate TF and PSGL-1 in rafts. Monocyte­derived MP deliver TF to areas of injury and infl ammation by binding to P-selectin mobilized to the surface of activated platelets and EC, resulting in the generation of fi brin (see Figure 37.1).45 Through the depletion of cholesterol in the raft regions of platelets and leukocytes, statin drugs may decrease the risk of thrombosis through raft architectural disruption. Cholesterol-depleted platelets and leukocytes are less adherent and may release less thrombotic MP.
54
The P-selectin receptor, PSGL-1, is expressed on leuko­cytes and platelets as well as on their derived microparticles. MP coexpressing TF and leukocyte markers have been shown to accumulate in growing thrombi in a PSGL-1: P-selectin dependent fashion.
55,56
P-selectin:PSGL-1 interac­tions also stimulate the production of thrombogenic MP from leukocytes, particularly monocytes.
31,57
These pro­thrombotic MP express TF and possess a phosphatidylserine rich anionic surface capable of assembling prothrombinase, tenase, and factor V/Va.58 Hrachinova et al. treated mice with hemophilia A with P-sel-Ig to generate prothrombotic MP. This normalized tail bleeding times and systemic coagula­tion times through augmentation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway.31 This strategy may result in new therapies for hemophilia A patients with alloantibodies. Human pericar­dial MP expressing TF have been demonstrated to increase

thrombosis in a rat venous stasis model.
Venous stasis and ischemia results in the upregulation of vascular P-selectin, which localizes prothrombotic MP to the area of stasis and promotes DVT formation (see Figure 37.1).

).
In some vascular models of injury, P-selectin dependent TF accumulation and fi brin deposition begins within the fi rst 20 seconds of injury, before leukocyte rolling occurs, suggesting that a major function of selectins in venous thrombogenesis is independent of leukocyte rolling and extravasation. P-selectin:PSGL-1 interactions are critical for the localization of prothrombotic MP to areas of injury and infl ammation.
63,64
The relative importance of MP-born TF in thrombosis appears to vary according to the nature and scope of the injury. MP appear to play a critical role in stasis-induced thrombosis and small vascular injuries. Chou et al. demonstrated that leukocyte-derived TF contributed signifi cantly to thrombus formation after laser injury of the microvessels in the cremaster muscle, a small injury model. Day et al. demonstrated that leukocyte-derived TF did not contribute signifi cantly to thrombosis following treatment of the carotid artery with ferric chloride, a dramatic, somewhat artifi cial and large-scale injury. It is likely that MP-bearing tissue factor contribute to the initial thrombus formation and amplifi cation that occurs in the minutes following small scale vascular injuries (see Figure 37.2).
62
Microparticles are not only prothrombotic but also appear
to inhibit fi brinolysis. Platelet activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is stored in the α-granules of quiescent platelets.65 PAI-1 is a potent inhibitor of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activators, which are largely
66
responsible for the initiation of fi brinloysis.
Upon activa-
tion, MP shed from platelets express PAI-1, and these MP are localized to the growing thrombus via P-selectin-PSGL­1 interactions. In this manner, platelet microparticles are not

Microparticle Research
Traditional anticoagulation is contraindicated in many patients and results in signifi cant hemorrhagic complications. Patients on optimal therapy have a 20% incidence of throm­bus recurrence or extension. The new, infl ammatory perspec­tive on VTE has opened up a line of attack along the axis of selectin biology. Presently, we are conducting rodent and primate research on the prophylactic and therapeutic use of compounds that inhibit P-selectin or its receptor, PSGL-1, and that can be delivered by multiple routes for use in VTE.
D-dimers are a plasmin breakdown product of insoluble, cross-linked fi brin. Although D-dimers are elevated in patients with VTE, this fi nding has a specifi city of only 50 to 70%. In current practice D-dimer is useful only when negative in association with patients with low clinical assess­ment scores.
The abundance of evidence supporting an important role for P-selectin and MP in thrombosis led us to hypothesize that they may be reliable clinical indicators of an ongoing, thrombotic event. We have found that a panel of blood tests including D-dimer, P-selectin, and MP levels is more sensi-

tive and specifi c for the detection of DVT than D-dimer alone, though still less sensitive than duplex ultrasound (US). This panel would be most useful in locations or at times when duplex US is unavailable. As our knowledge of microparticle subtypes and protein expression improves, it is likely that even more defi nitive tests for the detection of thrombotic events and assessment of overall cardiovascular risk will become available.
THROMBOSIS RESOLUTION AND
VEIN WALL FIBROSIS
The resolution of a deep vein thrombus parallels the tra­ditional model of wound healing with a predictable orches­tration of leukocyte infi ltration, the elaboration of profi brotic growth factors and collagen deposition. This process is required for thrombus resolution and neovascularization but also results in vein wall fi brosis, valvular incompetency, and subsequent CVI. There is indirect clinical evidence that the length of time the thrombus is in contact with the vein wall is proportional to the magnitude of the fi brotic response. Early, aggressive anti-coagulation and catheter-directed thrombolysis result in earlier thrombus resolution and a reduction in the risk of CVI.

Neutrophils are the fi rst cell type to infi ltrate the throm­bus and play an essential role in thrombus resolution.69 Neu­tropenia is associated with larger thrombi in a rat model of stasis DVT and treatment with IL-8, a neutrophil stimulatory and chemotactic cytokine, accelerates thrombus resolu-

tion.
Mice lacking the receptor for the IL-8 analogs KC and MIP-2 have larger and less organized thrombi due to the lack of neutrophil infi ltration.
72
Monocyte and monocyte-derived macrophage infi ltration follows the neutrophil phase. Monocyte infi ltration peaks on day 8 after formation of a stasis-induced DVT in animal models and is dependent on the elaboration of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) from the site of injury. Exogenous introduction of MCP-1 into a newly formed thrombus accelerates recanalization and resolution.73 Exper­imental over-expression of MCP-1 accelerates thrombus resolution, and we have found that strategies that inhibit monocyte infi ltration also inhibit thrombus resolution.
As venous thrombi resolve they demonstrate increased urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity.74 The in vivo expres­sion of u-PA and t-PA activity is monocyte dependent.75 A series of experiments utilizing bone marrow transplantation strategies in knock-out mice have revealed that monocyte expressed u-PA plays a more critical role in thrombus resolu­tion as compared to t-PA.76 Monocytes further degrade fi brin via receptor-mediated lysosomal activity.77 Modulation of monocyte infi ltration and the fi brinolytic pathway are poten­tial targets for the treatment of VTE and prevention of CVI.
The actions of infi ltrating leukocytes are critical for thrombus resolution but also result in the elaboration of profi brotic cytokines including TGF-β, RANTES, and MCP-
1.78 The kinetics of leukocyte invasion into the thrombus are duplicated in the vein wall with an initial wave of neutrophil invasion followed by monocyte infi ltration. Elastinolysis occurs early, resulting in diminished vein wall compliance. Collagen I and collagen III deposition follow, further stiffen­ing the vein wall.

Congenital and Acquired
Hypercoagulable Syndromes
JOCELYN A. SEGALL and TIMOTHY K. LIEM
INTRODUCTION
A fi ne balance exists between anticoagulant, procoagu­lant, and fi brinolytic factors. Intravascular thrombosis rep­resents a shift in this balance, and may occur as the result of many factors in conjunction with a congenital or acquired abnormality in coagulation. An understanding of the differ­ing hypercoagulable syndromes is important to appreciate the complexity of hemostasis and the factors that may offset normal clotting and anticoagulant mechanisms (see Figure
38.1). In addition, methods of prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism are increasingly being stratifi ed based, in part, on the presence or absence of a thrombophilic state. The presence of a hypercoagulable state does not imply that the patient will have thrombosis of a vessel. It does suggest that the individual is at a higher risk for throm­bosis especially when the other factors of Virchow’s triad (endothelial injury and stasis) are involved.

HYPERCOAGULABLE STATES
Some congenital hypercoagulable states place the indi­vidual at higher risk for thrombosis than others. Most genetic abnormalities in existence have clinically imperceptible consequences. ple genetic abnormalities, increasing their risk of thrombo­sis.4 The common congenital hypercoagulable disorders are listed in Table 38.1.
Many causes exist for acquired hypercoagulable states and some congenital hypercoagulable states may exist as acquired states as well. For instance, Protein C and S defi ­ciencies may occur secondary to decreased protein produc-
2,3
Additionally, some individuals have multi-
tion from liver failure, sepsis, and/or malnutrition and increased protein loss secondary to nephrotic syndrome and infl ammatory states.5 In addition, hyperhomocysteinemia may occur because of enzymatic defects or because of defi ­ciencies in Vitamins B6 and B12 and folate. The acquired hypercoagulable disorders are listed in Table 38.2.
THE CONGENITAL
HYPERCOAGULABLE DISORDERS
Antithrombin Defi ciency
Antithrombin is a serine protease inhibitor of thrombin and also inhibits factors IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa. Thrombin is irreversibly bound by antithrombin and prevents throm­bin’s action on fi brinogen, on factors V, VIII, and XIII, and on platelets.6 This anticoagulant is synthesized in the liver and endothelial cells, and has a half-life of 2.8 days.7 Anti­thrombin defi ciency has a prevalence of 1 : 5000 with more than 100 genetic mutations and an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.8 Homozygotes typically die in utero whereas heterozygotes typically have an antithrombin level that is 40 to 70% of normal.
Antithrombin defi ciency is associated with lower extrem­ity venous thrombosis as well as mesenteric venous throm­bosis, and there are two clinical types. Individuals with Type I defi ciency have a reduced number and function of anti­thrombin, and individuals with Type II have normal produc­tion but a reduction in function. Additionally, the heparin binding site of the antithrombin may be mutated.9 The risk of thrombosis increases as the functional antithrombin activ­ity decreases to less than 80% of normal levels. The highest risk for thrombosis occurs when the activity is less than 60% of normal.

Antithrombin defi ciency should be suspected in a patient with spontaneous thrombosis, in a patient who cannot be anticoagulated adequately on heparin or in a patient who develops thrombosis while on heparin. To detect this defi ­ciency, antithrombin levels should be measured when the patient has not been exposed to heparin.

The most common presentation in those with antithrom­bin defi ciency is deep venous thrombosis with or without pulmonary embolism.
10
The frequency of thromboembolism is unusual before the late teenage years and plateaus around the age of 40.11 Thromboembolism may occur spontaneously but is often precipitated by other factors such as pregnancy,
Protein C is a vitamin K dependent anticoagulant protein that, once activated by thrombin, will inactivate factors Va and VIIIa, thereby inhibiting the generation of thrombin.4 Additionally, activated protein C stimulates the release of t­PA. It is produced in the liver and is the dominant endoge­nous anticoagulant with an eight-hour half-life. Protein C defi ciency has a prevalence of 1 in 200–300 with more than 150 mutations and an autosomal dominant inheritance.
4,7
Similar to antithrombin defi ciency, protein C defi ciency has two types: Type I, which is associated with decreased pro­duction and function and Type II, which is associated with a low functional level.8 Type I defi ciency predominates.
Protein S is also a vitamin K dependent anticoagulant protein that is a cofactor to activated protein C. The actions of protein S are regulated by complement C4b binding protein and only the free form of protein S serves as an activated protein C cofactor.15 Additionally, protein S appears to have independent anticoagulant function by directly inhibiting procoagulant enzyme complexes.
7,16
The preva­lence of protein S defi ciency is about 1 : 500 with an auto­somal dominant inheritance. Three types of protein S defi ciencies exist and include Type I, which is associated with low levels of free and total protein S antigen and

decreased activated protein C activity; Type II, which has normal levels of protein S antigen but low levels of activated protein C cofactor activity; and Type III, which has normal to low levels of total protein S, low free protein S, and an increased proportion of protein S bound to complement C4b.8 In addition, many patients with protein S defi ciency also have resistance to activated protein C, which may be the reason for the thrombosis.
1
Clinically, protein C and S defi ciencies are essentially identical. With homozygous protein C and S defi ciencies, infants typically will succumb to purpura fulminans, a state of unrestricted clotting and fi brinolysis. In heterozygotes, venous thromboses may occur at an early age especially in the lower extremity.17 Thrombosis may also occur in mes­enteric, renal, and cerebral veins. Protein C and S defi cien­cies usually become clinically evident when the levels of these proteins are less than 50% of normal.
Plasma protein C and S concentrations may be obtained to diagnose defi ciencies of these proteins. Antigen and activ­ity levels of protein C are measured, whereas for protein S, only antigen levels are measured. These measurements should be made prior to starting anticoagulation therapy with either heparin or warfarin.
8,13,18
Factor V Leiden Mutation and Activated
Protein C Resistance
Factor V is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. With Factor V Leiden, a point mutation occurs when arginine is substituted by glutamine at position 506. This point muta­tion causes the activated Factor V to be resistant to inactiva­tion by activated protein C thus causing a procoagulant state. The mutation appears almost exclusively in the Caucasian population and inheritance is autosomal dominant. The rela­tive risk of a thromboembolic event in a heterozygous carrier is increased fi ve- to seven-fold over the general population and increased up to 80-fold in a homozygous carrier.4 The risk of thrombosis also increases with combined genetic defects and/or additional acquired risk factors and will exceed the sum of the separate risks.
Clinically, patients may present with deep venous throm­bosis in the lower extremities, or less commonly in the portal vein, cerebral vein, or superfi cial venous system. Laboratory testing for the diagnosis of activated protein C (APC) resis­tance and Factor V Leiden may be performed using func­tional clotting based assays or by genetic testing. Factor V Leiden is the most common cause for APC resistance. Other less common causes include Factor V Cambridge, HR2 hap­lotype, Factor V Hong Kong, and Factor V Liverpool. The functional clotting-based assays include a modifi ed aPTT, which dilutes the patient’s plasma in factor V defi cient plasma or incorporates dilute Russell’s viper venom in the assay. The presence of APC resistance is then determined by measuring the aPTT in the presence and absence of activated
15
protein C. This modifi ed test may be used in the presence of heparin, warfarin, and lupus anticoagulant. The genetic test relies on DNA amplifi cation using PCR and is the most reliable test.
18
Prothrombin G20210 Polymorphism
Prothrombin (Factor II) is a zymogen synthesized in the liver and dependent on vitamin K. When prothrombin is activated, it forms thrombin (Factor IIa). A single mutation where adenine is substituted for guanine occurs at the 20210 position. The mechanism for increased thrombotic risk is not well understood, but individuals with this genetic variant have supranormal levels of prothrombin. The mutation is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is associated with both arterial and venous thrombosis. Like Factor V Leiden, this mutation occurs almost exclusively in the Cau­casian population. Individuals with the prothrombin gene variant are typically heterozygous.7 Heterozygosity confers a two-fold increase in the risk of thrombosis, and homozy­gosity confers approximately a 10-fold increase in the risk of thrombosis.
13
Clinically, patients may present with deep venous throm­bosis of the lower extremity, cerebral venous thrombosis, as well as arterial thrombosis. The risk of thrombosis increases in the presence of other genetic coagulation defects and with acquired risk factors.
1,7
Detection of the prothrombin G20210 polymorphism is by genetic analysis alone as no correlation exists between functional prothrombin levels and those indi­viduals with the genetic mutation.
13
Hyperhomocysteinemia
Homocysteine is an amino acid formed during the metab­olism of methionine and may be elevated secondary to inherited defects in two enzymes that are part of the conver­sion of homocysteine to cysteine. The two enzymes involved are N5,N10–methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) or cystathionine beta-synthase. Hyperhomocysteinemia has been shown to increase the risk of atherosclerosis, athero­thrombosis, and venous thrombosis.
Elevated plasma homocysteine levels cause various dys­functions of endothelial cells leading to a prothrombotic state. With the oxidation of homocysteine, superoxide radi­cals are formed, which cause endothelial damage, smooth muscle proliferation, and activation of platelets and leuko­cytes. Additionally, hyperhomocysteinemia augments factor V and VII activity and decreases the activation of protein C, indirectly stimulates platelet aggregation, decreases the pro­duction of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, and interferes with the binding of t-PA.
In patients with unexplained venous thromboembolism, homocysteine levels should be measured. Levels may be measured by obtaining a fasting plasma homocysteine or
