A Specific Host/Microbial Signature of Plasma-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Is Associated to Thrombosis and Marrow Fibrosis in Polycythemia Vera

Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative neoplasm with increased risk of thrombosis and progression to myelofibrosis. However, no disease-specific risk factors have been identified so far. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mostly of megakaryocyte (MK-EVs) and platelet (PLT-EVs) origin an...

description Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative neoplasm with increased risk of thrombosis and progression to myelofibrosis. However, no disease-specific risk factors have been identified so far. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mostly of megakaryocyte (MK-EVs) and platelet (PLT-EVs) origin and, along with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-EVs, play a role in cancer and thrombosis. Interestingly, circulating microbial components/microbes have been recently indicated as potential modifiers of inflammation and coagulation. Here, we investigated phenotype and microbial DNA cargo of EVs after isolation from the plasma of 38 patients with polycythemia vera. Increased proportion of MK-EVs and reduced proportion of PLT-EVs identify patients with thrombosis history. Interestingly, EVs from patients with thrombosis history were depleted in <i>Staphylococcus</i> DNA but enriched in DNA from Actinobacteria members as well as <i>Anaerococcus</i>. In addition, patients with thrombosis history had also lower levels of lipopolysaccharide-associated EVs. In regard to fibrosis, along with increased proportion of PE-EVs, the EVs of patients with marrow fibrosis were enriched in DNA from <i>Collinsella</i> and <i>Flavobacterium</i>. Here, we identified a polycythemia-vera-specific host/microbial EV-based signature associated to thrombosis history and marrow fibrosis. These data may contribute to refining PV prognosis and to identifying novel druggable targets.
