1 Antiphospholipid Syndrome ( APS) Edward John Walter Bowie, MD Mayo Medical School the first to identify APS as an acquired thrombophilia Graham Robert Vivian Hughes MD FRCP Unit Rayne Institute St Thomas Hospital UK the first to identify APS as a generalized autoimmune disorder Hassouna February 2,

2 Several investigators reported prolonged clotting times that do not correct in mixing of SLE patient plasma with normal plasma. They named the substance Circulating Anticoagulant, Acquired Inhibitor, Lupus Anticoagulant Conley CL Harman RC. A hemorrhagic disorder caused by circulating anticoagulants in patients with disseminated lupus erythymatosus. J Clin Invest 1952; 31: Lechner K Acquired inhibitors in auto and isoimmune diseases. Hemostasis 1974; 3:65-69 Feinstein DI, Rappaport SI. Acquired inhibitors of blood coagulation In Sapet TN, Eds; Progress in Hemostasis and Thrombosis, 1rst ed. Grune and Stratton New York, NY: 1982;6: Hassouna February 2,

3 APS is considered a hemorrhagic disease 1963 is linked to thrombosis LA is identified Circulating anticoagulants in SLE are named lupus anticoagulants ( LA) because they prolong the clotting times in phospholipid dependent assays. LA believed to cause clinical hemorrhagic disease 1963 LA are reported by Bowie et al to be associated with thrombosis in SLE patients LA are identified by Harris et al to be antibodies that react with cardiolipin Lupus anticoagulants react with purified cardiolipin and they are identified as anticardiolipin antibodies by RIA Hassouna February 2,

4 Lupus Anticoagulant believed to cause hemorrhagic disease. Also named circulating anticoagulant Lupus anticoagulant was applied to a clotting test that generates a prolonged clotting time in SLE patient plasma that did not correct when mixed in equal volume with pooled normal plasma. Hassouna February 2,

5 In 1963, Dr Bowie reported several cases of thrombosis in SLE despite circulating anticoagulants. This was the first report of an acquired thrombophilia. Thrombophilia is an inherited or acquired clinical phenotype that manifests in selected individuals as a greater risk to develop thrombosis in response to an ENDOGENOUS stimulus than the general population Bowie EJW, Thompson JH,, Pascuzzi CA, Owen CA. Thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus despite circulating anticoagulants. J Lab Clin Med 1963; 62: Hassouna February 2,

9 Lupus anticoagulant identified in 1983 by the anticardiolipin test to belong to the family of antiphospholipid antibodies Introduction of the anticardiolipin test identified the lupus anticoagulant as auto-antibodies directed at cardiolipin, a phospholipid in inner mitochondrial membranes Harris EN, Gharavi AE, Boey ML. Anticardiolipin antibodies: detection by radioimmunoassay and association with thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus. Lancet 1983; 2: Hassouna February 2,

10 Two mechanisms are identified in the induction of autoimmune Antiphospholipid antibodies (a PL) Apoptotic phospholipid protein complexes generate antibodies a PL From experiments in mice, a PL are produced by binding of beta2- glycoprotein 1 to phospholipid viral or bacterial proteins by molecular mimicry Hassouna February 2,

11 Cardiolipin is a phospholipid on the inner membrane of mitochondria first identified in bovine heart. Anticardiolipin antibodies ( lupus anticoagulant) represent an autoimmune process Hassouna February 2,

12 Autoimmune a PL are generated by apoptotic phospholipid protein complexes in mitochondria and other cellular components Increased apoptosis as observed in blood of SLE patients, followed by enhanced phosphatidyl serine exposure provides molecular signal to macrophages and other antigen presenting cells leading to a PL Hassouna February 2,

13 Antiphospholipid antibodies are a heterogeneous group with a variety of target antigens. The most significant target antigen is the B2-glycoprotein 1 In 1990 Monica Galli and her group in Bergamo, Italy reported that the true antigenic targets of antiphospholipid antibodies are not the phospholipids but plasma proteins bound to an anionic surface. Galli M,Comfurius P, Massen C et al. Anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) directed not to cardiolipin but to a plasma protein co-factor. Lancet 1990;334: Hassouna February 2,

14 Reproduced with permission Chethan Puttarajappa, MD review article submitted in fulfillment for the thrombosis rotation requirement beta-2-glycoprotein 1 is the most common and best-characterized antigenic target of auto-immune antiphospholipid antibodies. Beta-2 glycoprotein 1, also known as apolipoprotein H is an anticoagulant plasma protein belonging to the complement control protein family, and it is present in plasma at a concentration of approximately micrograms per milliliter. Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 anticoagulant action is by interaction with anionic phospholipids via a lysine rich region in the extra 20 amino acid C-terminal loop of the fifth domain that prevents thrombin amplification by the prothrombinase activity and prevents ADP induced platelet aggregation Hassouna February 2,

16 Induction of experimental a PL in naive mice: β2gpi epitope mimicry with bacterial particles. Hassouna February 2,

17 Molecular mimicry between β2gpi and common bacteria/viruses. The sequence similarity of these proteins to the domain 5 phospholipid binding region of beta2-glycoprotien 1 breaks the tolerance to self beta2-glycoprotein 1 and induces antibodies against t he beta2-glycoprotein 1 lysine rich phospholipid binding region CLOSE Hassouna February 2,

18 Interaction of β 2 -GPI with ApoER2 receptor on platelets. After dimerization by anti-β 2 -GPI autoantibodies subsequently, β 2 -GPI can bind to anionic phospholipids on the membrane of the platelet. β 2 -GPI binds to the ApoER2 receptor. This reaction results in the release of thromboxane A2. Hassouna February 2,

19 In 1984, a group of rheumatologists led by Graham Hughes found that in their sizeable collection of SLE patients the Lupus anticoagulant occurred with some frequency and was associated with thrombosis and thrombocytopenia and this raised the possibility that patients with the lupus anticoagulant and anti-cardiolipin antibodies might be a part of a larger body of patients with systemic auto-immune diseases Hassouna February 2,

20 Patients with LA are part of a larger body of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases conditions caused by the breakdown of immune tolerance and resultant immune responses to self-antigens. Auto-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells t induce tissue damage in patients with various autoimmune diseases, including immune thrombocytopenic purpura, antiphospholipid syndrome, and myasthenia gravis.

22 Catastrophic APS Asherson Syndrome Lupus anticoagulant discriminates from DIC and TTP There is a small group of APS patients who present with occlusive events at multiple sites over a short period of time resulting in multi organ failure. The majority of catastrophic episodes are preceded by a precipitating events mainly infections Less than 1% of APS patients Hassouna February 2,

23 Antiphospholipid Syndrome has 3 components: Lupus anticoagulant is a term applied to a prolonged clotting time in a phospholipid dependent clotting test Antiphospholipid antibodies is a general term applied to antibodies generated by an autoimmune or an infectious process An acquired thrombophilia ( arterial and venous thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, thrombocytopenia) caused by autoimmune or infectious processes that generate antibodies harmful to endothelium and platelets.

39 Question 1 A 57 years old female with lupus erythematosus presents with a deep venous obstruction of the left calf confirmed by Doppler ultrasound. Which of the following indicates a result positive for the APS. 1) Prothrombin time ( PT) 11.4 sec. Activated Partial Thromboplastin time ( APTT) 26.4 sec within normal range. Positive anticardiolipin antibodies. 2) PT 21 sec markedly prolonged. APTT 26.4 sec within normal range. Thrombin clotting time prolonged 16 sec (Control 8.2 sec). Thrombin clotted Fibrinogen 0.5 gram per liter (normal range 2-4 gram per liter). Immunoreactive fibrinogen 3 gram per Liter.( normal range 2-4 gram per liter) 3)PT 12.5 sec ( within normal range) APTT 48 sec ( prolonged) APTT does not correct in mixing studies. Negative anti-cardiolipin, anti-phospholipid, and beta-2- glycoprotein-1 antibodies. 4) PT 12.5 sec ( within normal range) APTT 48 sec ( prolonged) APTT does not correct in mixing studies. Positive anti-beta-2-glycoprotein-1 antibodies. Hassouna February 2,

40 Question 2 A 57 years old female with lupus erythematosus and a deep venous obstruction of the left calf confirmed by Doppler ultrasound, she tested positive for the antiphospholipid syndrome and was managed by conventional anticoagulation. After 6 months, results of a repeat Doppler ultrasound indicate complete resolution of the venous obstruction. One of the following is the correct choice for long term management: 1) Test for inherited thrombophilia to determine if patient remains on lifelong oral anticoagulation. 2) Antiphospholipid syndrome is an inherited thrombophilia requiring life long oral anticoagulation 3) Lifelong anticoagulation is indicated because thrombosis risk is extremely high (DVT, age, 4) antiphospholipid syndrome, lupus erythymatosus) 5) Complete resolution of venous obstruction indicates adequate hemostasis. Stop oral anticoagulation. Hassouna February 2,

41 Question 3 Chose the correct causative mechanism for arterial and venous thrombosis and repeated fetal loss in the antiphospholipid syndrome 1)Activation of clotting factor XI by antiphospholipid antibodies 2) The lupus anticoagulant damages the venous and arterial endothelium by complement activation 3) anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies bind antithrombin and markedly decrease natural anticoagulant plasma levels 4) Autoimmune antiphospholipid antibodies act by either one or by all the following mechanisms a) activation of complement, b) induction of tissue factor expression and cell adhesion receptors on endothelial cells c) promoting platelet aggregation, Hassouna February 2,
