Résumé
Essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera are myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) with an elevated thrombotic risk. Leukocytosis has recently emerged as a new risk factor and there is increasing evidence that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are involved. Procoagulant activity (PCA) of PMN in MPD has not yet been investigated. PCA of PMN from 22 patients with JAK2(V617F) positive MPD and 26 healthy subjects was studied using calibrated automated thrombography: in vitro thrombin generation induced with 1 pM tissue factor in the presence of added procoagulant phospholipids. There were no differences between patients and controls regarding the ability of PMN to increase thrombin generation. More surprisingly, basal thrombin generation in acellular MPD-plasma was found decreased for as yet unknown reasons. The presence of an active protein C pathway or platelets might provide a better insight into the coagulation phenotype in MPD.
