FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISMS IN VENOUS
THROMBOSIS
Jose A. Diaz , Daniel D. Myers Jr., and  omas W. Wake eld
INTRODUCTION
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE occurs worldwide, in all age groups and socioeconomic populations in North America and Western Europe. recent study by Heit etal., the estimated total annual num­ber of VTE events in the United States exceeded 900,000. Symptomatic VTE accounted for two-thirds of the cases reported. Interestingly, no changes in the incidence of VTE were noted during this 25-year cohort study. and its sequelae remain an important health care problem that demands coordination between the e orts of clini­cians, surgeons, and investigators. In this setting, venous thrombosis research plays a pivotal role in the process of elucidating the intrinsic mechanisms involved in thrombo­genesis and thrombus resolution. Only by understanding VTE pathophysiology will we be able to identify potential therapeutic targets to aid the patient population a ected by VTE. In this chapter, the authors will summarize the mechanisms involved in VTE as well as potential therapeu­tic targets.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
E N D O T H E L I U M
 e endothelium forms the inner cell lining of all blood ves­sels in the body and is a spatially distributed organ. In an average individual, the endothelium weighs approximately 1kg and covers a total surface area of 4,000 to 7,000 square
4
meters.
 e endothelium has been described as a primary determinant of pathophysiology or as a target for collateral damage in most, if not all, disease processes.

cells (ECs) play a critical role in the balance between proco­agulant and anticoagulant mechanisms in healthy individu­als.  e ECs’ anticoagulant properties involve supporting

In contrast, a procoagulant e ect is observed during states of EC activation and disturbance, either physical (vascular trauma) or functional (sepsis;

Figure34.1 ).
It is widely known that, under normal conditions, cellular blood components interact with the vessel wall promoting vascular repair. Activated or dysfunctional ECs trigger a mechanism of rapid deposition of plate­lets, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and insoluble  brin, which establishes a mechanical barrier to blood  ow, termed

thrombosis.

THROMBOGENESIS
Arterial thrombosis requires EC disruption with collagen exposure, as it occurs in atherosclerotic plaque rupture. the contrary, in venous thrombosis the ECs are “intact” (at least at the initiation of the thrombus formation), and no collagen exposition is needed in order to generate thrombi. ECs play a pivotal role in venous thrombosis.  us, during a normal EC response to a stimulus, the balance between anti­coagulant and procoagulant mechanism is altered toward
1,7,8
the ECs procoagulant activity.
In ammation and vein thrombosis were linked in a publication by Stewart, Ritchie, and Lynch in 1974 demonstrating leukocyte migration into
9
the vein wall with an intact layer of ECs.
Since then, several
studies demonstrated the interaction between in ammation
5,10–13
and thrombosis.
 e question of what alters the EC toward a procoagulant e ect is fundamental to understand­ing the pathophysiology of VTE. In ammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 (IL-1). and interleukin 6 (IL-6), induce EC activation and

( Figure 34.2 ). Once
ECs are activated, cell interaction between ECs, leukocytes,

monocytes, and platelets occurs.

Endothelial surface
Antithrombogenic
• Endothelial production of thrombomodulin and subsequent activation of protein C
• Endothelial expression of heparin sulfate and dermatan sulfate (which accelerate antithrombin and heparin cofactor activity)
• Constitutive expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
• Local production of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)
• Production of NO, prostacyclin, and interleukin 10 which, inhibits the adhesion and activation of leukocytes and produces vasodilatation

• Increased surface expression of cell adhesion molecules (P-selectin or E­ selectin) promoting the adhesion and activation of leukocytes

It is widely known that the initiation of in amma­tion and/or the thrombosis processes occurs, chronologi­cally, almost immediately a er EC activation.  is could be possible only if the ECs have stored P-selectin that could be released upon stimulation, as secretory cells do.

ECs, leukocytes, and platelets have a very well structured plasma membrane characterized by a controlled transverse lipid distribution termed “ra s.” of these cells promotes a general membrane content redis­tribution, during which ra s concentrate in areas of the cell that will ultimately produce MPs ( Figure34.5 ). the MP membrane is rich in lipid ra s. derived MPs concentrate tissue factor (TF).

During in ammation, the activation of ECs upregu­lates the expression of P-selectin on their surface, leading to the formation of the EC P-selectin:PSGL-1-leukocyte complexes.  ese complexes stimulate the production of MPs from leukocytes, particularly monocytes, along with platelets and ECs. In addition, the accumulation of leuko­cyte markers expressed on the surface of MPs in the growing thrombus is mediated by the P-selectin:PSGL-1 complex.  e MP concentration increases dramatically at the area
10
of vein wall injury and in ammation.
MPs also possess a phosphatidylserine-rich anionic surface capable of assem­bling complexes of the coagulation cascade. Another mol­ecule expressed on the MPs’ membrane surfaces is PSGL-1, which then can bind to upregulated P-selectin on plate­let surfaces in the thrombus.  ere is even evidence that the macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) on leukocyte-derived MPs can allow interactions between MPs and inactivated platelets using “glycoprotein Ib (platelet) alpha polypep­tide” (GP1bα), resulting in further platelet activation with
29,30
P-selectin upregulation.
All of these events, which are occurring in the area of thrombus formation, lead to throm­bus ampli cation.  e increase of circulating MPs with the onset of in ammation adds to the proposed mechanisms linking vein wall in ammation and thrombogenesis.

Antithrombin III acts as a pseudosubstrate for the inhibition of intrinsic pathway (Factors IIa [throm­bin], IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa) and extrinsic pathway (Factor

Other targets of antithrom-

PAI-1 elevation appears
5
Elevated PAI-1 may suppress  brinolysis and increase thrombosis, hence increasing the clinical manifestations of VTE, although studies on the role of elevated levels of PAI-1 in venous thrombosis have been contradictory.
52
Particularly, it has been published that increased serum levels of PAI-1 and impaired  brinolysis is associated with
53
hyperlipidemia in humans.
 is relationship suggests that hyperlipidemic patients have an increased risk to develop cardiovascular diseases, including VTE related to impaired
53
 brinolysis.
Polymorphism in the PAI-1 gene has been suggested
54,55
to be associated with an increased risk of VTE.
Human studies have evaluated the role of genetic polymorphisms, particularly the 4G/5G insertion/deletion in the promoter region, which a ects transcription rates.  e highest levels of PAI-1 have been noted in those individuals carrying the
55
4G/4G polymorphism.
Akar etal. reported an increased odds ratio of 5.5× for DVT with the 4G allele.  is increase was even greater when the 4G allele coexisted with
55
Factor-V-Leiden.
Another study, by Zoller etal., showed an 8.14× increased risk of PAI-1 elevation in individuals carrying the 4G allele in combination with other thrombo­philic markers, while PE was increased in 4G/4G patients
54
with protein S de ciency (odds ratio 4.5×).
Fibrin degradation products (FDPs) result from the action of plasmin on deposited  brin. FDPs include the fragment E and fragment D, which, during physiologi­cal thrombolysis, are released as a covalently linked dimer,
5
the D-dimer.
Clinically, the level of circulating D-dimers
is used as a surrogate marker for the diagnosis of ongoing
56
DVT and/or PE.
In addition, the presence of elevated D-dimer levels a er successful treatment of DVT has a high positive predictive value for recurrent VTE.
5
D-dimer levels may also aid in the diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
THROMBUS RESOLUTION AND VEIN
WALL REMODELING
DVT resolution is a  brotic process that mimics wound healing.  is process involves pro brotic growth factors, collagen deposition, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)
57
expression and activation.
 e kinetics of leukocytes in
the vein wall follows the same pattern as that observed in
57
thrombi.
 us, immediately a er thrombus formation,
an early in ux of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells is fol-

Leukocyte migration,  rst from the blood into the vein wall and then from the vein wall into the thrombus, follow a speci c sequence of
5
events leading to thrombus resolution.
 e  rst cell type that migrates as described above is the PMN leukocyte. PMNs are essential for early thrombus resolution as they promote both  brinolysis and collagenolysis.
5
In support of this concept, a study using a rat model of stasis DVT showed that neutropenia increased both thrombi size, at 2 and 7 d, and intrathrombus collagen deposition. It also signi cantly lowered intrathrombus levels of both uPA and MMP-9.

In a study using a mouse model of stasis thrombosis, chronic stages of thrombus resolution were tested using target deleted CC

In this study, late impair-
ment of thrombus resolution appeared to be mediated via
5,60
impaired MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity.
 rombus resolution involves a number of proin am-
matory factors that are released into the local environment.
5,8,14
 ese factors include IL-1β and TNFα.
It has been sug­gested that these mediators are released by leukocytes and smooth muscle cells found within the resolving thrombus, although the speci c mechanisms involved in this process have yet to be elucidated. Henke etal. observed that elastinol­ysis occurs early in a mouse model of stasis-induced DVT. In this model, the evaluation of elastinolysis was determined by tensiometry and was associated with an increase in vein wall sti ness. Elastinolysis persisted for 14 d, together with

and platelet-derived growth factor-β levels.
In summary, venous thrombosis is a complex and dynamic process that involves at least two phases:thrombus formation and thrombus resolution.
 rombus formation :In ammation appears to be closely involved in thrombus formation. ECs, platelets, and leu­kocytes (PMNs and monocytes) are the main circulatory elements involved in venous thrombosis. In ammatory cytokines orchestrate this early phase.  us, preventive or prophylaxis therapeutic approaches should be directed to these potential targets.
 rombus resolution :Vein wall remodeling is a complex process that varies as the thrombus ages. Pro brotic media­tors play an important role in this phase, leading to  bro­sis.  e severity of this  brosis will determine the outcome a er an episode of DVT (i.e., postthrombotic syndrome or thrombus recanalization with or without valve insu ciency). Novel therapeutic approaches aimed to alleviate postthrom­botic cell wall damage and focused on the sequence of events occurring during thrombus aging are warranted.

CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED
HYPERCOAGULABLE SYNDROMES
Jocelyn A. Segall and Timothy K.  Liem
INTRODUCTION
A  ne balance exists between anticoagulant, procoagulant, and  brinolytic factors. Intravascular thrombosis repre­sents a shi 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 o set normal clotting and anticoagulant mechanisms (see Figure 35.1). In addition, methods of prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are increas­ingly being strati ed based, in part, on the presence or absence of a thrombophilic state.  e 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.
Some congenital hypercoagulable states place the individ­ual at higher risk for thrombosis than others. Most genetic abnormalities in existence have clinically imperceptible consequences. tiple genetic abnormalities, increasing their risk of throm­bosis. are listed in Table35.1.
and some congenital hypercoagulable states may exist as acquired states as well. For instance, protein C and protein S de ciencies may occur secondary to decreased protein pro­duction from liver failure, sepsis, and/or malnutrition and increased protein loss secondary to nephrotic syndrome and in ammatory states. emia may occur because of enzymatic defects or because of

Homozygotes typically die in utero, whereas heterozygotes typically have an antithrom­bin level that is 40 to 70% of normal.
Antithrombin de ciency is associated with lower extremity venous thrombosis as well as mesenteric venous thrombosis, and there are two clinical types. Individuals with Type Ide 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.

 e risk of thrombosis increases as the functional anti­thrombin activity decreases to less than 80% of normal lev­els.  e highest risk for thrombosis occurs when the activity
