Abstract Pancreatic cancer patients have a high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) inhibits plasminogen activators and increases the risk of thrombosis. PAI-1 is expressed by pancreatic tumors and human pancreatic cell lines. However, to date, there are no studies analyzing the association of active PAI-1 and VTE in pancreatic cancer patients. We investigated the association of active PAI-1 in plasma and VTE in pancreatic cancer patients. In addition, we determined if the presence of human pancreatic tumors expressing PAI-1 impairs venous thrombus resolution in mice. Plasma levels of active PAI-1 in patients with pancreatic cancer and mice bearing human tumors were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We measured PAI-1 expression in 5 different human pancreatic cancer cell lines and found that PANC-1 cells expressed the highest level. PANC-1 tumors were grown in nude mice. Venous thrombosis was induced by complete ligation of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Levels of active PAI-1 were independently associated with increased risk of VTE in patients with pancreatic cancer (subdistribution hazard ratio per doubling of levels: 1.39 [95% confidence interval, 1.09-1.78], P = .007). Mice bearing PANC-1 tumors had increased levels of both active human and active mouse PAI-1 and decreased levels of plasmin activity. Importantly, mice bearing PANC-1 tumors exhibited impaired venous thrombus resolution 8 days after IVC stasis compared with nontumor controls. Our results suggest that PAI-1 contributes to VTE in pancreatic cancer.

Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been regarded as a risk factor for thrombosis and atherosclerosis. Since it has been shown that PAI-1 can activate macrophages through Toll-like receptor-4, we sought to investigate the role of PAI-1 in the tumor microenvironment. Methods: The expression and distribution patterns of PAI-1 and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) were measured in 60 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors. A statistical correlation analysis was performed between PAI-1 and TGF-β expression and distribution in each tumor. The distribution of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) was also measured and its correlation to PAI-1 levels was analyzed. Levels of secreted CCL-17, CCL-22, IL-6 and TGF-β were measured in cell cultures of human macrophage cell lines THP-1 and U937 treated with PAI-1. Levels of secreted PAI-1 were monitored in cell cultures of human NSCLCs cell lines 95D and A549 treated with TGF-β. Secreted proteins were measured in cell culture supernatants using ELISA. Changes in downstream signaling pathways were investigated using western blot. Results: PAI-1 and TGF-β were found to be overexpressed in human NSCLCs. PAI-1 expression was tightly correlated to TGF-β expression as well as the percentage of TAMs. PAI-1 treatment increased the expression of TAM-associated cytokines and chemokines, including CCL-17, CCL-22, and IL-6. PAI-1 treatment was also observed to enhance TGF-β expression in macrophage cell lines through an IL-6 autocrine/paracrine manner. The effects on TGF-β expression were blocked by NF-κB and STAT3 inhibition. Interestingly, TGF-β also increased levels of secreted PAI-1 in NSCLC cells through SMAD3-dependent signaling, therefore resulting in a feed-forward loop. However, this loop could be blocked by NF-κB, STAT3 and SMAD3 signaling inhibition, as well as treatment with a high concentration of TGF-β. Conclusion: PAI-1 and TGF-β promote NSCLC tumor cells and TAMs and might be valuable targets for cancer immunosuppression.

SummaryConversion of plasminogen to plasmin provides an important source of proteolytic activity in the bovine mammary gland. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) plays a key role in limiting plasminogen activation. The PAI-1 biosynthetic capabilities of various bovine mammary cells were determined. The immortalized epithelial cell lines MAC-T and BME-UV and the myoepithelial cell line BMM-UV were used as model systems. Northern blot analysis indicated that both epithelial and myoepithelial cells contained PAI-1 mRNA. Bovine PAI-1 was encoded by a single mRNA species ∼ 3·0 kb long. BME-UV cells contained 2·0-fold (P< 0·01) the PAI-1 mRNA of MAC-T or BMM-UV cells. Reverse zymography indicated that both epithelial and myoepithelial cells synthesized PAI-1 protein with a molecular mass of ∼ 50 kDa.

Abstract Background Overexpression and nuclear enrichment of the oncogene yes-associated protein (YAP) cause tumor initiation and support tumor progression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via cell autonomous mechanisms. However, how YAP expression in tumor cells affects intercellular communication within the tumor microenvironment is not well understood. Methods To investigate how tumor cell-derived YAP is changing the paracrine communication network between tumor cells and non-neoplastic cells in hepatocarcinogenesis, the expression and secretion of cytokines, growth factors and chemokines were analyzed in transgenic mice with liver-specific and inducible expression of constitutively active YAP (YAPS127A). Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were performed using primary isolated hepatocytes and blood plasma. In vitro, RNAinterference (RNAi), expression profiling, functional analyses and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses of YAP and the transcription factor TEA domain transcription factor 4 (TEAD4) were performed using immortalized cell lines. Findings were confirmed in cohorts of HCC patients at the transcript and protein levels. Results YAP overexpression induced the expression and secretion of many paracrine-acting factors with potential impact on tumorous or non-neoplastic cells (e.g. plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13), CXCL16). Expression analyses of human HCC patients showed an overexpression of PAI-1 in human HCC tissues and a correlation with poor overall survival as well as early cancer recurrence. PAI-1 statistically correlated with genes typically induced by YAP, such as connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and cysteine rich angiogenic inducer 61 (CYR61) or YAP-dependent gene signatures (CIN4/25). In vitro, YAP inhibition diminished the expression and secretion of PAI-1 in murine and human liver cancer cell lines. PAI-1 affected the expression of genes involved in cellular senescence and oncogene-induced senescence was confirmed in YAPS127A transgenic mice. Silencing of TEAD4 as well as treatment with the YAP/TEAD interfering substance Verteporfin reduced PAI-1 expression. ChIP analyses confirmed the binding of YAP and TEAD4 to the gene promoter of PAI-1 (SERPINE1). Conclusions These results demonstrate that the oncogene YAP changes the secretome response of hepatocytes and hepatocyte-derived tumor cells. In this context, the secreted protein PAI-1 is transcriptionally regulated by YAP in hepatocarcinogenesis. Perturbation of these YAP-dependent communication hubs including PAI-1 may represent a promising pharmacological approach in tumors with YAP overexpression.

Summary Background: Type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) is considered to be risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A rebound of circulating PAI-1 has been reported after rt-PA administration. We investigated the relationships between PAI-1 levels before and after thrombolytic therapy with streptokinase (SK) as compared to rt-PA and the patency of infarct-related arteries. Methods and Results: Fifty five consecutive patients with acute MI were randomized to strep-tokinase or rt-PA. The plasma PAI-1 levels were studied before and serially within 24 h after thrombolytic administration. Vessel patency was assessed by an angiogram at 5 ± 1days. The PAI-1 levels increased significantly with both rt-PA and SK as shown by the levels obtained from a control group of 10 patients treated with coronary angioplasty alone. However, the area under the PAI-1 curve was significantly higher with SK than with rt-PA (p <0.01) and the plasma PAI-1 levels peaked later with SK than with rt-PA (18 h versus 3 h respectively). Conversely to PAI-1 levels on admission, the PAI-1 levels after thrombolysis were related to vessel patency. Plasma PAI-1 levels 6 and 18 h after SK therapy and the area under the PAI-1 curve were significantly higher in patients with occluded arteries (p <0.002, p <0.04 and p <0.05 respectively).The same tendency was observed in the t-PA group without reaching significance. Conclusions: This study showed that the PAI-1 level increase is more pronounced after SK treatment than after t-PA treatment. There is a relationship between increased PAI-1 levels after thrombolytic therapy and poor patency. Therapeutic approaches aimed at quenching PAI-1 activity after thrombolysis might be of interest to improve the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

SummaryWe analyzed fibrinolytic parameters in 20 healthy men and 20 healthy women, aged from 25 to 59, before and after 10 and 20 min venous occlusion. The 10 min post-occlusion fibrinolytic activity measured directly in diluted unfractionated plasma by a highly sensitive 125I-fibrin plate assay correlated well with the activity of euglobulins determined by the classical fibrin plate assay (r = 0.729), but pre-stasis activities determined with these two methods did not correlate (r = 0.084). The enhancement of fibrinolytic activity after venous occlusion was mainly due to an increase of t-PA in the occluded vessels (4-fold increase t-PA antigen after 10 min and 8-fold after 20 min venous occlusion). Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1)1 antigen levels at rest showed considerable dispersion ranging from 1.9 to 12.4 U/ml, respectively 6.9 to 77 ng/ml. A significant increase of PAI-1 antigen levels was observed after 10 and 20 min venous occlusion. At rest no correlation was found between PAI activity or PAI-1 antigen levels and the fibrinolytic activity measured by 125I-FPA. However, a high level of PAI-1 at rest was associated with a high prestasis antigen level of t-PA and a low fibrinolytic response after 10 min of venous stasis. Since the fibrinolytic response inversely correlated with PAI activity at rest, we conclude that its degree depends mainly on the presence of free PAI.

SummaryA new assay for functional plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) in plasma was developed. The assay is based on the quantitative conversion of PAI-1 to urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA)-PAI-l complex the concentration of which is then determined by an ELISA employing monoclonal anti-PAI-1 as catching antibody and monoclonal anti-u-PA as detecting antibody. The assay exhibits high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision. The level of functional PAI-1, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity and t-PA-PAI-1 complex was measured in normal subjects and in patients with venous thromboembolism in a silent phase. Blood collection procedures and calibration of the respective assays were rigorously standardized. It was found that the patients had a decreased fibrinolytic capacity. This could be ascribed to high plasma levels of PAI-1. The release of t-PA during venous occlusion of an arm for 10 min expressed as the increase in t-PA + t-PA-PAI-1 complex exhibited great variation and no significant difference could be demonstrated between the patients with a thrombotic tendency and the normal subjects.

SummaryPlasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is a key determinant of the fibrinolytic capacity. Its activity correlates with most of the characteristic features of insulin resistance syndrome, i. e. obesity, high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia.We measured plasma PAI-1 antigen levels in 131 asymptomatic men (aged 44.2 ± 11 years) who had been referred for hyperlipidemia. Those taking medication and those with a secondary hyperlipidemia were excluded.We confirmed the correlation between PAI-1 levels and the following variables: body mass index, blood pressure, triglyceride concentration, and blood glucose and insulin levels before and after an oral glucose tolerance test. We also found a significant and independent correlation between PAI-1 and the concentration of the hepatic enzymes glutamyl transferase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase.Mild liver abnormalities (presumably steatosis) may thus be one of the factors accounting for high plasma PAI-1 levels in hyperlipidemic patients.

SummaryThe relative importance of the two major inhibitors of fibrinolysis, α2-antiplasmin (α2-AP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), were investigated using a simple microtitre plate system to study fibrin clot lysis in vitro. Cross-linked fibrin clots contained plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) at concentrations close to physiological. Purified α2-AP and PAI-1 caused dose-dependent inhibition. All the inhibition due to normal plasma, either platelet-rich or poor, was neutralised only by antibodies to α2-AP. Isolated platelets, at a final concentration similar to that in blood, 2.5 × 108/ml, markedly inhibited clot lysis. This inhibition was neutralised only by antibodies to PAI-1. At the normal circulating ratio of plasma to platelets, α2-AP was the dominant inhibitor. When the platelet:plasma ratio was raised some 20-fold, platelet PAI-1 provided a significant contribution. High local concentrations of PAI-1 do occur in thrombi in vivo, indicating a role for PAI-1, complementary to that of α2-AP, in such situations.
