AbstractIn severe trauma, excessive fibrinolytic activation is associated with an increase in the transfusion volume and mortality rate. However, in the first several hours after a blunt trauma, changes in fibrinolytic activation, suppression, and activation–suppression balance have not yet been elucidated, which the present study aimed to clarify. Anesthetized 9-week-old male Wistar S/T rats experienced severe blunt trauma while being placed inside the Noble–Collip drum. Rats were randomly divided into four groups of seven. The no-trauma group was not exposed to any trauma; the remaining groups were analysed 0, 60, and 180 min after trauma. Immediately following trauma, total tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) levels significantly increased in the plasma, and the balance of active tPA and active plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) significantly tipped toward fibrinolytic activation. After trauma, both tPA and PAI-1 levels increased gradually in various organs and active and total PAI-1 levels increased exponentially in the plasma. Total plasma tPA levels 60 min after trauma returned quickly to levels comparable to those in the no-trauma group. In conclusion, fibrinolytic activation was observed only immediately following trauma. Therefore, immediately after trauma, the fibrinolytic system was activated; however, its activation was quickly and intensely suppressed.

SummaryThe determination of heritability is a key issue to assess the predictive power of polymorphisms for disease in clinical studies. The aim of this study was to determine the heritability of proteins and activation markers of the fibrinolytic system in a large cohort of healthy twins. Heritability was calculated as 0.76 for thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), 0.44 for plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and 0.43 for tissue plasminogen activator. No significant genetic influence was observed for α2-antiplasmin-plasmin-complex and D-dimer. Heritability explained by single gene polymorphisms was 25.2% for TAFI 505G>A, 31.5% for 1542C>G, and 50.0% for combination of both. The influence on TAFI levels of 1542C>G (CC→GG, median: −280.5%) was considerably stronger than that of 505G>A (GG→AA, median: +49.3%) and in both cases there seems to be a dose-response relationship. Significant environmental influences on TAFI levels were observed for combined interaction terms (age*sex and bmi*sex). The PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism explained 56.4% of the calculated heritability. The genetic variables accounting for the 43% heritability of tPA remain unknown. Our data show that the production of several key components of the fibrinolytic system is strongly genetically determined. This genetic influence is accounted for in large part but not completely by a limited number of polymorphisms within the respective genes associated with plasma levels of the gene products.

SummaryThe exact role of the fibrinolytic system in the pathogenesis of stroke remains to be established. Elevated circulating levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, the principle inactivator of the fibrinolytic system, have been related to the development of myocardial infarction. There is evidence that a polymorphism in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene is associated with circulating PAI-1 levels.We studied a common single nucleotide insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism by PCR in 558 patients with stroke, the pathological type of which was established by cranial computed tomography, and in 172 controls. 4G/5G genotype and PAI-1 activity were investigated in relation to 1) stroke type and 2) mortality occurring within four weeks, three months and six months of the stroke.No difference in genotype frequency was observed when all cases of stroke were compared with controls nor between the clinically determined subtypes of cerebral infarction. PAI-1 activity was significantly higher in patients with stroke (n = 245) both at presentation (11.6 U/ml) and after three months (11.8 U/ml), in paired samples, than in control subjects (8.8 U/ml, p <0.0001). Thirty-seven (6.2%), 86 (14.5%) and 122 (20.5%) patients had died within one, three and six months of admission, respectively. PAI-1 activity was independently associated with all-cause mortality at one and three months after stroke (p = 0.02 and p = 0.03 respectively), but not after six months.In this population the 4G/5G promoter polymorphism is not associated with an increased risk of stroke. PAI-1 levels were elevated at the time of acute stroke which persisted after three months. PAI-1 level but not genotype was associated with early mortality following stroke.

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.

SummaryA significant relationship has been described between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and plasma insulin concentrations. However, most radioimmunoassays (RIA) substantially overestimate plasma insulin concentrations because of cross reaction with proinsulin-like molecules and it has been proposed that proinsulin-like molecules may be important determinants of PAI-1 activity. We measured fasting plasma immunoreactive insulin by conventional RIA, fasting plasma insulin (EIMA) by specific two site immuno-enzymometric assay, and intact proinsulin and des-31,32-proinsulin by two site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) in 74 (50 nondiabetic and 24 diabetic) subjects who had survived a myocardial infarction between 6 and 24 months previously. In univariate analysis, PAI-1 activity correlated with serum triglycerides (rs=0.43; p <0.0001), insulin sensitivity (rs = -0.30; p = 0.004), and immunoreactive insulin (rs = 0.45; p <0.0001). However, the relationship between PAI-1 activity and plasma specific insulin (IEMA) was weaker (rs = 0.24; p = 0.019) than those with intact proinsulin (rs = 0.53; p <0.0001) and des-31,32-proinsulin (rs = 0.54; p <0.0001) despite the low concentrations of these proinsulin-like molecules. In multiple regression analysis, only des-31,32-proinsulin (p = 0.001) and serum triglycerides (p = 0.013) were significant determinants of PAI-1 activity. In conclusion, these results suggest that proinsulin-like molecules and serum triglycerides are important determinants of PAI-1 activity in survivors of myocardial infarction.

SummaryThe PAI-1 binding site for VN was studied using two independent methods. PAI-1 was cleaved by Staph V8 protease, producing 8 fragments, only 2 of which bound to [125I]-VN. These fragments were predicted to overlap between residues 91-130. Since PAI-2 has structural homology to PAI-1, but does not bind to vitronectin, chimeras of PAI-1 and PAI-2 were constructed. Four chimeras, containing PAI-1 residues 1-70,1-105,1-114, and 1-167 were constructed and expressed in vitro. PAI-1, PAI-2, and all of the chimeras retained inhibitory activity for t-PA, but only the chimera containing PAI-1 residues 1-167 formed a complex with VN. Together, these results predict that the VN binding site of PAI-1 is between residues 115-130.
