Red Blood Cell Contribution to Thrombosis in Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythemia

Résumé

Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) characterized by clonal erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis, respectively. The main goal of therapy in PV and ET is to prevent thrombohemorrhagic complications. Despite a debated notion that red blood cells (RBCs) play a passive and minor role in thrombosis, there has been increasing evidence over the past decades that RBCs may play a biological and clinical role in PV and ET pathophysiology. This review summarizes the main mechanisms that suggest the involvement of PV and ET RBCs in thrombosis, including quantitative and qualitative RBC abnormalities reported in these pathologies. Among these abnormalities, we discuss increased RBC counts and hematocrit, that modulate blood rheology by increasing viscosity, as well as qualitative changes, such as deformability, aggregation, expression of adhesion proteins and phosphatidylserine and release of extracellular microvesicles. While the direct relationship between a high red cell count and thrombosis is well-known, the intrinsic defects of RBCs from PV and ET patients are new contributors that need to be investigated in depth in order to elucidate their role and pave the way for new therapeutical strategies.
