Serine proteases, such as thrombin and tissue-type plasminogen activator, play an important role in brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage and other neurologic disorders. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 is one of the serine protease inhibitors, or serpins. The balance between serine proteases and serpins may affect the outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage. The purpose of this study was to determine whether plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and tissue-type plasminogen activator are upregulated after intracerebral hemorrhage and the role that thrombin plays in that induction. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 protein levels were upregulated after intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 content also increased after thrombin infusion in a dose-dependent manner. Hirudin, a specific thrombin inhibitor, blocked the upregulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 after intracerebral hemorrhage. Time courses showed that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 levels around the hematoma peaked at the first day. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1–positive cells were detected in the perihematomal area and the ipsilateral basal ganglia after thrombin infusion, but not in the contralateral hemisphere. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 messenger RNA levels were increased at 24 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage and after thrombin infusion. However, tissue-type plasminogen activator protein levels were the same in the control, whole-blood, and thrombin-infusion groups. In conclusion, intracerebral hemorrhage and thrombin infusion stimulate plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 but not tissue-type plasminogen activator production in the brain. The upregulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 may be neuroprotective by limiting thrombin or other serine protease-induced toxicity.

Type Plasminogen Activator

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) which has a high affinity for fibrin in the clot, was labeled with 131I by the iodogen method, and its binding to de-endothelialized lesions in the rabbit was measured to assess the detectability of thrombi. The de-endothelialized lesion was induced in the abdominal aorta with a Fogarty 4F balloon catheter. Two hours after the de-endothelialization, 131I-labeled t-PA (125 ± 46 μCi) was injected intravenously. The initial half-life of the agent in blood (n = 12) was 2.9 ± 0.4 min. The degree of binding of 131I-labeled t-PA to the de-endothelialized lesion was evaluated at 15 min (n = 6) or at 30 min (n = 6) after injection of the agent. In spite of the retention of the biochemical properties of 131I-labeled t-PA and the presence of fibrin deposition at the de-endothelialized lesion, the binding of t-PA to the lesion was not sufficiently strong. Lesion-to-control ratios (cpm/g/cpm/g) were 1.65 ± 0.40 (at 15 min) and 1.39 ± 1.31 (at 30 min), and lesion-to-blood ratios were 1.39 ± 0.32 (at 15 min) and 1.36 ± 0.23 (at 30 min). These results suggest that radiolabeled t-PA may be inappropriate as a radiopharmaceutical for the scintigraphic detection of a pre-existing thrombotic lesion.

Oligosaccharide Structures

SummaryModification of the carbohydrate structures of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) can increase or decrease its rate of clearance in rabbits. When rt-PA was treated with sodium periodate to oxidize carbohydrate residues, the rate of clearance was decreased from 9.6 ± 1.9 ml min−1 kg−1 to 3.5 ± 0.6 ml min−1 kg−1 (mean ± SD, n = 5). A similar change in the clearance of rt-PA was introduced by the use of endo-β-N-acetyl- glucosaminidase H (Endo-H), which selectively removes high mannose asparagine-linked oligosaccharides; the clearance of Endo-H-treated rt-PA was 5.0 ± 0.5 ml min−1 kg−1. A mutant of rt-PA was produced with an amino acid substitution at position 117 (Asn replaced with Gin) to remove a potential glycosylation site that normally contains a high mannose structure. The clearance of this material was also decreased, similar to the periodate and Endo-H-treated rt-PA. Conversely, when rt-PA was produced in the CHO 15B cell line, which can produce only high mannose oligosaccharide structures on glycoproteins, the clearance was increased by a factor of 1.8. These results demonstrate that the removal of rt-PA from the blood depends significantly upon the nature of its oligosaccharide structures.

SummaryTissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a fibrin-specific agent which has been used to treat acute myocardial infarction. In an attempt to clarify the determinants for its rapid clearance in vivo and high affinity for fibrin clots, we produced five variants containing amino acid substitutions in the finger domain, at amino acid residues 7–9, 10–14, 15–19, 28–33, and 37–42. All the variants had a prolonged half-life and a decreased affinity for fibrin of various degrees. The 37–42 variant demonstrated about a 6-fold longer half-life with a lower affinity for fibrin. Human plasma clot lysis assay estimated the fibrinolytic activity of the 37–42 variant to be 1.4-fold less effective than that of the wild-type rt-PA. In a rabbit jugular vein clot lysis model, doses of 1.0 and 0.15 mg/kg were required for about 70% lysis in the wild-type and 37–42 variant, respectively. Fibrinogen was degraded only when the wild-type rt-PA was administered at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg. These findings suggest that the 37–42 variant can be employed at a lower dosage and that it is a more fibrin-specific thrombolytic agent than the wild-type rt-PA.

Median Blood Loss

SummaryThe tissue-type plasminogen activator related fibrinolytic system was studied in 24 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. The degradation of fibrinogen and fibrin was followed during and after surgery by means of new sensitive and specific assays and the changes were related to the blood loss measured in the chest tube drain during the first 24 postoperative hours. Although tissue-type plasminogen activator was significantly released into the circulation during the period of extracor-poreal circulation (p <0.01), constantly low levels of fibrinogen degradation products indicated that a systemic generation of plasmin could be controlled by the naturally occurring inhibitors. Following extracorporeal circulation heparin was neutralized by protamine chloride, and in relation to the subsequent generation of fibrin, there was a short period with increased concentrations of fibrinogen degradation products (p <0.01) and a prolonged period of degradation of cross-linked fibrin, as detected by increased concentrations of D-Dimer until 24 h after surgery (p <0.01). Patients with a higher than the median blood loss (520 ml) in the chest tube drain had a significantly higher increase of D-Dimer than patients with a lower than the median blood loss (p <0.05).We conclude that the incorporation of tissue-type plasminogen activator into fibrin and the in situ activation of plasminogen enhance local fibrinolysis, thereby increasing the risk of bleeding in patients undergoing open heart surgery
