Neoplastic processes are integrally related to disturbances in the mechanisms regulating hemostatic processes. Brain tumors, including gliomas, are neoplasms associated with a significantly increased risk of thromboembolic complications, affecting 20–30% of patients. As gliomas proliferate, they cause damage to the brain tissue and vascular structures, which leads to the release of procoagulant factors into the systemic circulation, and hence systemic activation of the blood coagulation system. Hypercoagulability in cancer patients may be, at least in part, a result of the inadequate activity of coagulation inhibitors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of the inhibitors of the coagulation and fibrinolysis systems (tissue factor pathway inhibitor, TFPI; tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 TFPI-2; protein C, PC; protein S, PS, thrombomodulin, TM; plasminogen activators inhibitor, PAI-1) in gliomas of varying degrees of malignancy. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on 40 gliomas, namely on 13 lower-grade (G2) gliomas (8 astrocytomas, 5 oligodendrogliomas) and 27 high-grade gliomas (G3–12 anaplastic astrocytomas, 4 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas; G4–11 glioblastomas). A strong expression of TFPI-2, PS, TM, PAI-1 was observed in lower-grade gliomas, while an intensive color immunohistochemical (IHC) reaction for the presence of TFPI antigens was detected in higher-grade gliomas. The presence of PC antigens was found in all gliomas. Prothrombin fragment 1+2 was observed in lower- and higher-grade gliomas reflecting local activation of blood coagulation. Differences in the expression of coagulation/fibrinolysis inhibitors in the tissues of gliomas with varying degrees of malignancy may be indicative of their altered role in gliomas, going beyond that of their functions in the hemostatic system.

Abstract High levels of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), caused by a longer TFPIα half-life after binding to a factor V splice variant and variants in the F5 gene, were recently identified in 2 families with an as-yet-unexplained bleeding tendency. This study aimed to investigate free TFPIα in a well-characterized cohort of 620 patients with mild to moderate bleeding tendencies and its association to genetic alterations in the F5 gene. TFPIα levels were higher in patients with bleeding compared with healthy controls (median [interquartile range], 8.2 [5.5-11.7] vs 7.8 [4.3-11.1]; P = .026). A higher proportion of patients had free TFPIα levels more than or equal to the 95th percentile compared with healthy controls (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval (CI)], 2.82 [0.98-8.13]). This was pronounced in the subgroup of patients in whom no bleeding disorder could be identified (bleeding of unknown cause [BUC; n = 420]; OR [95% CI], 3.03 [1.02-8.98]) and in platelet function defects (PFDs) (n = 121; OR [95% CI], 3.47 [1.09-11.08]). An increase in free TFPIα was associated with a mild delay in thrombin generation (prolonged lag time and time to peak), but not with alterations in routinely used global clotting tests. We could neither identify new or known genetic variations in the F5 gene that are associated with free TFPIα levels, nor an influence of the single-nucleotide variant rs10800453 on free TFPIα levels in our patient cohort. An imbalance of natural coagulation inhibitors such as TFPIα could be an underlying cause or contributor for unexplained bleeding, which is most probably multifactorial in a majority of patients.

Tissue Factor Pathway

Factor V (FV) assembles with factor Xa (FXa) into prothrombinase, the enzymatic complex that converts prothrombin to thrombin. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor α (TFPIα) inhibits prothrombinase by high affinity interactions with FXa-activated FV and the FXa active site, thereby blocking the initiation of coagulation. FV Leiden (FVL) is strongly linked to venous thrombosis through its resistance to degradation by activated protein C (aPC), which enhances the propagation of coagulation. FVL combined with a 50% reduction in TFPI causes severe thrombosis and perinatal lethality in mice, suggesting that FVL also promotes the initiation of coagulation. To examine this possibility, thrombin generation assays initiated with limiting FXa were performed with control or FVL plasma and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The activation threshold for thrombin generation was 10 to 20 pM FXa in 10 control plasmas, but was 5 pM in 4 of 10 homozygous FVL plasmas. FVL PRP had a similar decrease in the activation threshold. The differences in activation threshold were totally normalized by an anti-TFPI antibody, while exogenous TFPIα and a FV-binding peptide that mimics TFPIα had reduced anticoagulant activity in FVL plasma, revealing that the procoagulant effects of FVL in these assays rely on TFPIα. Next, FVL plasmas were studied in fibrin clot formation assays, as they are sensitive to small amounts of thrombin. In reactions activated with 0.5 pM FXa, 1 of 8 control plasmas, compared to 7 of 8 homozygous FVL plasmas, clotted within 60 minutes, with differences again normalized by the anti-TFPI antibody. In prothrombinase activity assays using purified proteins, TFPIα was a 1.7-fold weaker inhibitor of prothrombinase assembled with FVL compared to FV. Thus, in addition to its aPC-mediated effect on the propagation of coagulation, FVL is resistant to TFPIα inhibition, exerting a procoagulant effect on coagulation initiation. This is evident in responses to small stimuli, where TFPIα blocks clotting in plasmas with FV but not FVL. The TFPIα-mediated modulation of the procoagulant threshold may explain the severe perinatal thrombosis in FVL mice with decreased TFPI and be clinically relevant in the clotting associated with oral contraceptives, which cause acquired TFPI deficiency.
