Abstract—Although oxygen deprivation has long been associated with triggering of the procoagulant pathway and venous thrombosis, blood hypoxemia and stasis by themselves do not lead to fibrin formation. A pathway is outlined through which diminished levels of oxygen activate the transcription factor early growth response-1 (Egr-1) leading to de novo transcription/translation of tissue factor in mononuclear phagocytes and smooth muscle cells, which eventuates in vascular fibrin deposition. The procoagulant response is magnified by concomitant suppression of fibrinolysis by hypoxia-mediated upregulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. These data add a new facet to the biology of thrombosis associated with hypoxemia/stasis and imply that interference with mechanisms causing Egr-1 activation in response to oxygen deprivation might prevent vascular fibrin deposition occurring in ischemia without directly interfering with other pro/anticoagulant pathways.

In the 1850s, Virchow described the association between venous thrombosis and a triad of contributing factors, including hypercoagulability, vascular damage, and vascular stasis.1 More recently, venous stasis has been linked to the rapid decline in intravascular oxygen tension and thrombus formation in veins of the lower extremities.2 3 4 Definition of mechanisms through which low levels of oxygen cause blood to clot has been more elusive. The Wessler stasis model of venous thrombosis,5 6 in which a rabbit vascular segment (typically the jugular vein) is occluded and a fibrin clot subsequently forms after addition of a procoagulant, demonstrated that acute lack of blood flow and/or hypoxemia, although necessary, were not sufficient, at least acutely, to trigger clot formation. Without inclusion of a strong procoagulant stimulus, such as activated clotting factors (eg, Factors IXa, Xa, or thrombin), fibrin deposition did not occur. These observations have been extended to different types of vessels, and this has led to the same conclusion; acute occlusion of normal vessels with their normal blood content does not by itself promote fibrin formation. This situation must be differentiated from that of an atherosclerotic or other pathologic vessel, in which abundant neointimal tissue factor, a maximal prothrombotic stimulus, is immediately exposed to blood contents, triggering rapid coagulation. In fact, the intact, healthy vessel wall has very low levels of tissue factor with an increasing gradient toward the adventitia. The cell type most uniformly accepted as being capable of expressing substantive amounts of tissue factor within the intravascular space in response to environmental stimuli is the mononuclear phagocyte, although polymorphonuclear leukocytes may also contribute, and endothelial cells have been shown to produce tissue factor in selected settings.7 8 Thus it may not be surprising that a brief period of hypoxemia and/or stasis alone in a normal vessel are not sufficient to trigger fibrin formation.
Nonetheless, links between thrombosis and hypoxemia/stasis have remained strong even in the absence of mechanistic explanations. Studies in a canine model of limb immobilization showed stasis to be associated with a rapid fall in venous oxygen tension to virtually undetectable levels in the affected extremity.2 Furthermore, hypoxemia was most severe in proximity to venous valve cusps, and nascent thrombi appeared to form on the apparently intact vessel wall at the parietal aspect of the valve cusp (this occurred during the period of hypoxemia). These accumulations of fibrin contained peripheral blood cells and erythrocytes and were speculated to result from hypoxemia-induced perturbation of the vessel wall. In fact, when untraumatized canine leg veins were exposed in vivo to intermittent periods of hypoxemia and reoxygenation, venous thrombi were shown to occur.9 Therefore, although in selected circumstances hypoxemia alone is sufficient to cause venous thrombosis, blood stasis results in ischemia that is associated with a myriad of changes in the vascular microenvironment, including diminished aerobic metabolism and accumulation of waste products. Thus the ischemic environment induces cell stress on many levels in addition to a contribution resulting from diminished blood oxygen. Another setting in which hypoxia has been considered to have a central role concerns vascular perturbation in response to high altitude, termed hypobaric hypoxia. Mountain climbing and other activities at high altitude are associated with vascular dysfunction, both prothrombotic events and increased vascular permeability (high altitude pulmonary and cerebral edema),10 11 12 13 and these have been recently documented in graphic detail in the lay press.14
In the setting of ischemia, the most striking tissue injury occurs during reperfusion when leukocytes pour into the previously unperfused zone. We propose that mechanisms underlying pathologic events whose consequences are exaggerated during reperfusion are set in motion during the previous period of hypoxemia. An example of this principle is the critical period during organ preservation, when hypoxemia and stasis prime the graft vasculature for damage during reperfusion.15 Such tissue injury occurring as soon as blood flow to the graft is reestablished is limited by strategies to diminish preservation-induced vascular dysfunction with more optimal preservation solutions during the period of organ storage. Our brief review will focus on mechanisms through which hypoxemia promotes fibrin formation in vivo and the results of recent studies to elucidate the bases for such activation of the procoagulant pathway.

We have developed a model system to examine the effects of hypoxia on intravascular thrombus formation, and this system has also recently been adapted by others in studies of mechanisms of hypoxia-induced thrombosis.16 17 In this model, analysis of fibrin formation can employ 3 complementary techniques: morphological and immunoblotting studies with monospecific polyclonal antibody to a neoepitope in fibrin gamma-gamma chain dimers (other investigators have used antibody to human fibrin beta chains with similar ability to detect murine fibrin),16 electron microscopy, and deposition of radioiodinated fibrinogen. After exposure to hypoxia, vascular fibrin deposition occurs within approximately 6 hours.18 Immunostaining shows close association of fibrin deposits with the vessel wall (Figure 1A
), compared with lack of fibrin
deposits in normoxic controls (Figure 1B). Electron microscopy
shows that immunoreactive fibrin deposits from hypoxemic lung
vasculature display ultrastructural properties of fibrin, especially
the 22-nm periodicity (Figures 1C and 1D). Consistent
with these observations, immunoblotting using
fibrin-specific antibody and extracts from hypoxic lung treated with
plasmin showed an immunoreactive band, whereas none was seen in
normoxic controls or in hypoxic mice that had been pretreated with
either hirudin or blocking antibody to tissue factor.18
These data indicate that hypoxia/hypoxemia triggers a pathway
leading to fibrin deposition in the lung.

Because blocking antibody to tissue factor suppressed fibrin accumulation in hypoxic murine lung, it was likely that oxygen deprivation caused increased expression of tissue factor in a compartment exposed to circulating blood. One possibility was that polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) became adherent to the hypoxemic vessel wall due to translocation of P-selectin to the cell surface15 or cytokine-mediated upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression.19 Subsequent leukocyte activation could generate reactive oxygen intermediates, damaging the vessel wall and causing exposure of tissue factor in subendothelial layers of the vessel wall. However, antibody-induced depletion of PMNs had no effect on fibrin accumulation.18 Another mechanism could be increased vascular permeability due to the direct effect of hypoxia on the endothelium or indirectly via hemodynamic changes (for example, pulmonary hypertension). However, increased vascular leakage in response to hypoxia occurs at later times and is not substantially different within 8 hours of being subject to the oxygen-deficient environment, at which time fibrin deposition was already evident.18 In contrast, antibody-induced depletion of monocytes did suppress fibrin deposition in hypoxic lung,18 suggesting that this cell type was likely to have an integral role in activation of the procoagulant pathway in this setting. This evidence led us to predict that monocytes were triggering the procoagulant pathway, probably by upregulating tissue factor, and platelets were subsequently amplifying procoagulant events.
To test this hypothesis, tissue factor expression in hypoxic
murine lung was analyzed.20 Northern
analysis showed 
20-fold increased tissue factor transcripts
in hypoxic lung from wild-type animals compared with normoxic controls
(Figure 2A). Immunohistochemical studies
demonstrated increased tissue factor in hypoxic lung, colocalized with
mononuclear phagocytes20 from wild-type mice, compared
with normoxic controls. In vitro studies confirmed that mononuclear
phagocytes placed in an hypoxic environment demonstrate transcriptional
upregulation of tissue factor mRNA.20 These data
implicating tissue factor expression in hypoxia-driven
thrombosis are especially provocative, given recent data
showing the important role tissue factor plays in maintaining normal
hemostasis. When tissue factor is expressed at very low levels in
genetically altered mice, they exhibit a hemorrhagic
tendency.21
|
In depth exploration of the mechanism by which hypoxia
increases tissue factor transcription led to the identification of
Egr-1 as the primary driving motif underlying hypoxia-induced
tissue factor transcription. These data are in concordance with recent
studies identifying an association between Egr-1 and vascular
injury.22 23 Using double-stranded DNA probes from the
tissue factor promoter, electrophoretic mobility shift assays with
extracts from mononuclear phagocytes showed an apparent increase in Egr
DNA binding activity with no change in the DNA binding activity for Sp1
sites. The most striking data were obtained using consensus probes for
Sp1 or Egr-120 ; nuclear extracts showed no increase in the
gel shift band with Sp1 in response to hypoxia. In contrast,
similar experiments with the radiolabeled consensus Egr probe showed a
gel shift band (supershifted with anti–Egr-1 antibody) in nuclear
extracts from hypoxic cultures, although not in normoxic counterparts.
Finally, transient transfection experiments were performed with
constructs promoter-reporter gene constructs derived from the serum
response region of the tissue factor promoter (Figure 2B
). Increased expression of the luciferase reporter was seen
with the wild-type construct, in which Sp1 and Egr-1 sites were intact,
whereas mutational inactivation of Egr-1 sites blocked
hypoxia-enhanced gene expression. Inactivation of Sp1 sites
prevented both basal and hypoxia-induced expression of
luciferase. Transfection studies with various promoter-luciferase
reporter constructs showed that only constructs with an intact Egr site
displayed increased expression in hypoxia.20 These
data emphasized the role of Egr-1 in hypoxia-modulated
expression of tissue factor.
In vivo studies confirmed the biological importance of
Egr-1–driven tissue factor transcription by hypoxia;
homozygous Egr-1 null animals placed in a hypoxic environment showed a
much smaller increment in tissue factor mRNA, with virtually no change
in tissue factor antigen (Figure 2A) and virtually no fibrin
deposition compared with their counterparts left in a normoxic
environment.20 Studies are in progress to trace the
sequence of events increasing Egr-1 activation in hypoxia, and
preliminary results indicate that oxygen deprivation
enhances de novo Egr-1 synthesis and that this is driven by binding of
ternary complex factor to ets/SRE sites in the Egr-1
promoter.24

Hypoxia-Associated Suppression of Fibrinolysis |

The unusual presence of fibrin within the intravascular space in hypoxic mice, even with an apparently intact endothelial cell lining, suggested that in addition to enhanced procoagulant activity, oxygen deprivation might also be associated with diminished fibrin removal. Our first studies evaluating possible hypoxia-associated suppression of anticoagulant mechanisms focused on thrombomodulin.25 However, hypoxia-mediate suppression of thrombomodulin expression was not observed until at least 24 hours subjecting cultures to oxygen deprivation,25 and fibrin deposition had already occurred in the pulmonary vasculature by this time. In contrast, analysis of the fibrinolytic system has shown coordinated enhanced expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and suppression of plasminogen activators.26 Use of mice deficient in PAI-1, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), or tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) provided definitive evidence for the relevance of suppressed fibrinolysis to hypoxia-induced fibrin deposition. Whereas PAI-1 null mice showed no increase in fibrin formation on exposure to hypoxia, uPA or tPA deficient mice showed a strong potentiation of fibrin deposition (Figures 3A
to 3C). Thus PAI-1
overexpression is likely to be an important factor preventing normally
active fibrinolytic mechanisms from removing fibrin deposits formed in
hypoxemic vasculature. In concordance with these data, mice placed
under conditions of normobaric hypoxia showed increased levels
of PAI-1 transcripts in the lung and, at the protein level, increased
PAI-1 antigen and activity levels compared with normoxic
controls.26 Immunocytochemical analysis of cells
overexpressing PAI-1 in hypoxic lung pointed to an important
contribution of mononuclear phagocytes18 (Figure 3D). Further studies on hypoxic lung showed a time-dependent
decrease in transcripts for tissue-type
urokinase-type–plasminogen activators, lending
support to the concept that net fibrinolytic activity of the hypoxic
lung was decreased, thereby facilitating fibrin accumulation. The
results of in vitro studies using transformed murine
macrophages (RAW cells) as a model system for
mononuclear phagocytes pointed to a strong effect of hypoxia on
mononuclear phagocytes. RAW cells showed a 6-fold increase in PAI-1
transcription (by densitometric analysis of nuclear run blots)
after placement in hypoxia. In addition to an increased rate of
transcription of the PAI-1 message, there was also an apparent increase
in the stability of the PAI-1 message under conditions of
hypoxia. These 2 observations, the increased rate of PAI-1 mRNA
transcription and the increased stability of the PAI-1 mRNA after
transcription, contributed to the marked increase in PAI-1 mRNA in
hypoxic cells, which was observed by Northern
analysis.26

The adaptive response to hypoxia occurs on many levels. Transcriptional activation has been shown to involve hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), AP-1, NF-kB, and in the current work, Egr-1. The best studied of these is HIF-1, first identified during studies to elucidate the basis for erythropoietin expression stimulated in response to oxygen deprivation. Subsequently, HIF-1 has been shown to mediate other critical facets of the host response to hypoxia, including upregulation of glycolytic enzymes,27 28 29 the non–insulin-dependent glucose transporter, the key angiogenic mediator vascular endothelial growth factor, and enzymes contributing to vasomotor control, such as nitric oxide and heme oxygenase type I. In addition, HIF-1 has an essential role in vasculogenesis, as illustrated by the phenotype of HIF-1 null mice; complete absence of HIF-1 alpha results in developmental arrest, neural tube and cardiovascular defects, and embryonic lethality by day 11.30 Activation of AP-1 in response to reductive stress has been shown in vitro and results in expression of c-fos,31 32 33 34 although assessment of the in vivo significance of these events has not yet been provided. Nuclear translocation of NF-kB has been observed by some groups,35 although this may be cell-type specific, as others have not observed it.31 Again, the physiological/pathophysiological implications of NF-kB activation for adaptive mechanisms to hypoxia have not yet been clarified in vivo.
Previous in vitro studies suggested a central role for Egr-1 in multiple cellular homeostatic events. Initially, Egr-1 was believed to play a role in macrophage differentiation,36 although this has been called into question by a more recent report.37 These possibilities were markedly drawn into focus after production of Egr-1 null mice, which appear to develop normally, and have only shown a phenotype after environmental stress. For example, female Egr-1 null mice are sterile due to luteinizing hormone-ß deficiency, an effect due to decreased transcription of the gene. Our studies have shown a central role for Egr-1 in monocyte expression of tissue factor after induction of hypoxia. In view of the multiple stimuli that have been shown to activate Egr-1, an immediate-early gene, it is unlikely that oxygen deprivation directly induces activation of Egr-1. Rather, hypoxic stress is likely to generate conditions leading to Egr-1 activation and triggering of downstream mechanisms, including tissue factor transcription-translation. In contrast to the apparently positive impact of HIF-1–mediated events on adaptation to hypoxia, the beneficial effects of tissue factor expression in monocytes and smooth muscle cells are less clear. Although local promotion of clotting would serve to isolate an ischemic area, the negative impact of vascular fibrin deposition eventuating in occlusive thrombosis can have obvious deleterious consequences. Egr-1 expression in hypoxia might be predicted to impact on cell-cell interactions through changes in the expression of cell adherence molecules and inflammatory mechanisms through effects on proinflammatory cytokines,38 although definite proof of Egr-1 involvement in these events remains to be tested in Egr-1 null mice. Thus Egr-1-initiated mechanisms may subserve a quite different facet of the adaptive response to oxygen deprivation compared with that associated with HIF-1. However, recognition of a role for Egr-1 in potentially pathologic changes associated with hypoxia could point to novel approaches to limiting these events, ie, preventing activation of coagulation in hypoxia by suppressing Egr-1 activation rather than by interfering directly with the procoagulant mechanism.
The data presented in our brief review provide the
outline of a pathway through which hypoxia triggers de novo
expression of tissue factor in mononuclear phagocytes and smooth muscle
cells (Figure 4). Lungs, which possess
tissue-based (alveolar) macrophages in great abundance, are
likely to recruit even more macrophages to intravascular
locations through expression of the monocyte chemoattractant
JE/monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1).
Hypoxia-associated activation of Egr-1 causes transcription and
subsequent cell surface expression of tissue factor in both vascular
smooth muscle cells and macrophages, which can initiate the
local procoagulant response. Further amplification of the amount of
fibrin deposited could be due to alterations in the balance of
fibrinolytic mediators, such as may occur by increased expression of
plasminogen activator inhibitor-1,
thereby attenuating removal of vascular fibrin. It might be expected
that any prothrombotic tendency, such as that in mice that have a
targeted point mutation in the thrombomodulin gene,16
would display an enhanced procoagulant response in this model. Thus
patients with the Factor V Leiden mutation, those deficient in protein
S, or those with other defects manifest as diminished
endogenous antithrombotic activity would be vulnerable to
enhanced fibrin deposition at hypoxemic sites in the vasculature.

This initial picture of hypoxia-associated triggering of the procoagulant pathway raises many questions. For example, by what mechanisms are monocytes attracted and retained in hypoxemic vasculature? In a previous study, we observed that hypoxia increased transcripts for the macrophage chemoattractant JE/MCP-1 in cultured endothelial cells35 and that JE/MCP-1 antigen was increased in hypoxic lung (Lawson et al, unpublished observation, 1995). Thus it is possible that endothelial production of JE/MCP-1 draws in macrophages and serves as a cofactor in their activation and retention. JE/MCP-1 produced by hypoxic endothelium could also have an integral role in increased expression of tissue factor levels observed in smooth muscle cells39 40 in hypoxemic vasculature. Aside from these questions of the basic biology of the procoagulant response, recognition of the relative vulnerability of the lung to hypoxemia-associated fibrin deposition in the mouse may also provide important insights. Although reasons for this are unclear, the combination of the lung's rich vasculature and the intensity of the vasoconstrictor response to hypoxia, in contrast to vasodilation in the systemic circulation, may serve to magnify activation of coagulation. Taken together, the series of events causing expression of tissue factor in the hypoxemic vasculature, especially in mononuclear phagocytes and smooth muscle cells, provides a new biologic context to consider mechanisms underlying and possible interventions to prevent pathologic thrombosis in settings of oxygen scarcity.
