SummaryHypoxia in rodents and humans is associated with a reduction of body fat on the one hand, and with enhanced expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the main inhibitor of the fibrinolytic system, on the other hand. It was the objective of this study to investigate whether impairment of adipose tissue development by hypoxia may be mediated by PAI-1. Five week old male wild-type (WT) C57Bl/6 mice were fed a standard (SFD) or high fat (HFD) diet and kept under normoxic or hypoxic (10% O2) conditions. In addition, PAI-1 deficient mice and WT littermates were kept on HFD under normoxia or hypoxia. In vitro, the effect of hypoxia (2% O2) was investigated on differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells into adipocytes. Hypoxia induced a significant reduction of weight gain in WT mice on either SFD or HFD, accompanied by lower weights of subcutaneous (SC) and gonadal (GON) fat. Under hypoxic conditions, adipocytes in the adipose tissues were significantly smaller, whereas blood vessel size and density were larger. Serum PAI-1 levels were enhanced in hypoxic mice on SFD but not on HFD, and overall did not correlate with the observed changes in adipose tissue composition. Furthermore, the effects of hypoxia on adipose tissue in mice on HFD were not affected by deficiency of PAI-1. The inhibiting effect of hypoxia on in vitro preadipocyte differentiation was not mediated by PAI-1 activity. In conclusion, impairment of in vivo adipose tissue development and in vitro differentiation of preadipocytes by hypoxia is not mediated by PAI-1.

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.

The role of defective fibrinolysis caused by elevated activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in promoting fibrin deposition in vivo has not been well established. The present study compared the efficacy of thrombin or ancrod, a venom-derived enzyme that clots fibrinogen, to induce fibrin formation in rabbits with elevated PAI-1 levels. One set of male New Zealand rabbits received intravenous endotoxin to increase endogenous PAI-1 activity followed by a 1-hour infusion of ancrod or thrombin; another set of normal rabbits received intravenous human recombinant PAI-1 (rPAI-1) during an infusion of ancrod or thrombin. Thirty minutes after the end of the infusion, renal fibrin deposition was assessed by histopathology. Animals receiving endotoxin, rPAI-1, ancrod, or thrombin alone did not develop renal thrombi. All endotoxin-treated rabbits developed fibrin deposition when infused with ancrod (n = 4) or thrombin (n = 6). Fibrin deposition occurred in 7 of 7 rabbits receiving both rPAI-1 and ancrod and in only 1 of 6 receiving rPAI-1 and thrombin (P “ .01). In vitro, thrombin but not ancrod was inactivated by normal rabbit plasma and by purified antithrombin III or thrombomodulin. The data indicate that elevated levels of PAI-1 promote fibrin deposition in rabbits infused with ancrod but not with thrombin. In endotoxin-treated rabbits, fibrin deposition that occurs with thrombin infusion may be caused by decreased inhibition of procoagulant activity and not increased PAI-1 activity.

Abstract The pharmacokinetics of the activated and latent forms of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI–1) isolated from HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080 PAI-1) and a nonglycosylated form of human PAI-1 isolated from a yeast expression system (rPAI-1) were followed in the rabbit. As assessed by an immunologic assay specific for human PAI-1, guanidine HCI activated HT1080 PAI-1 and rPAI-1 entered the total plasma volume following intravenous bolus administration and exhibited a biphasic clearance pattern. The t1/2s of HT1080 PAI-1 for the initial and beta phases equalled 6.0 and 24.8 minutes, respectively. The t1/2s of rPAI-1 for the initial and beta phases equalled 8.8 and 34.0 minutes, respectively. Similar results were obtained by measuring PAI-1 activity in plasma and with trace amounts of 125I-rPAI-1, suggesting that the above pharmacokinetic behavior could also apply to endogenous PAI-1. The liver was the main site of rPAI-1 clearance. Unactivated, latent PAI-1 exhibited a very different pharmacokinetic profile. Over 80% of latent rPAI-1 cleared from the circulation within 10 minutes (t1/2 = 1.7 minutes). The difference in clearance behavior between activated and latent PAI-1 may be related to the ability of activated PAI-1, but not latent PAI-1, to rapidly form high-molecular-weight complexes with plasma binding factors which were observed in vitro and in vivo. Because PAI-1 could potentially tilt the fibrinolytic balance toward a prothrombotic state, its rapid clearance may represent an important control mechanism governing the circulating levels of this key component of the fibrinolytic pathway.

Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintenance of cellular homeostasis via intracellular signaling pathways, lysosomal degradation of selective cargo and mediating protein secretion. Dysregulation of autophagy has been implicated in tumorigenesis, tumor progression, and resistance to therapy. However, the mechanism of autophagy-dependent secretion involved in the responsiveness to chemotherapy is poorly understood. In this study, we showed that mitoxantrone (MitoX), a chemotherapeutic agent used for treating various cancers but not melanoma, induced autophagy in melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo. We also found that plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 secretion by MitoX-induced autophagy modulated the pro-tumoral microenvironment. Attenuation of PAI-1 activity using a specific inhibitor, tiplaxtinin (TPX), or by targeting the autophagy gene, Becn1, induced efficient antitumor immunity, thereby overcoming the resistance to MitoX in vivo. Of note, the therapeutic efficacy of TPX was abolished in MitoX-treated Becn1-defective tumors. Collectively, our results demonstrate that tumor autophagy-dependent PAI-1 secretion impairs the therapeutic efficacy of MitoX and highlight targeting of tumor autophagy or its secretory cargo, PAI-1, as a novel strategy to repurpose MitoX-based chemotherapy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract The role of defective fibrinolysis caused by elevated activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in promoting fibrin deposition in vivo has not been well established. The present study compared the efficacy of thrombin or ancrod, a venom-derived enzyme that clots fibrinogen, to induce fibrin formation in rabbits with elevated PAI-1 levels. One set of male New Zealand rabbits received intravenous endotoxin to increase endogenous PAI-1 activity followed by a 1-hour infusion of ancrod or thrombin; another set of normal rabbits received intravenous human recombinant PAI-1 (rPAI-1) during an infusion of ancrod or thrombin. Thirty minutes after the end of the infusion, renal fibrin deposition was assessed by histopathology. Animals receiving endotoxin, rPAI-1, ancrod, or thrombin alone did not develop renal thrombi. All endotoxin-treated rabbits developed fibrin deposition when infused with ancrod (n = 4) or thrombin (n = 6). Fibrin deposition occurred in 7 of 7 rabbits receiving both rPAI-1 and ancrod and in only 1 of 6 receiving rPAI-1 and thrombin (P “ .01). In vitro, thrombin but not ancrod was inactivated by normal rabbit plasma and by purified antithrombin III or thrombomodulin. The data indicate that elevated levels of PAI-1 promote fibrin deposition in rabbits infused with ancrod but not with thrombin. In endotoxin-treated rabbits, fibrin deposition that occurs with thrombin infusion may be caused by decreased inhibition of procoagulant activity and not increased PAI-1 activity.

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.

Aims: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the main and potent endogenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) inhibitor, but an important question on whether PAI-1 in blood stream responds and interferes with the exogenously administered tPA remains unexplored. We for the first time investigated temporal profiles of PAI-1 concentration and activity in circulation after stroke and tPA administration in rats. Methods: Permanent MCAO focal stroke of rats were treated with saline or 10mg/kg tPA at 3 hours after stroke (n=10 per group). Plasma (platelet free) PAI-1 antigen and activity levels were measured by ELISA at before stroke, 3, 4.5 (1.5 hours after saline or tPA treatments) and 24 hours after stroke. Since vascular endothelial cells and platelets are two major cellular sources for PAI-1 in circulation, we measured releases of PAI-1 from cultured endothelial cells and isolated platelets after direct tPA (4 μg/ml) exposures for 60 min in vitro by ELISA (n=4 per group). Results: At 3 hours after stroke, both plasma PAI-1 antigen and activity were significantly increased (3.09±0.67, and 3.42±0.57 fold of before stroke baseline, respectively, all data are expressed as mean±SE). At 4.5 hours after stroke, intravenous tPA administration significantly further elevated PAI-1 antigen levels (5.26±1.24), while as expected that tPA neutralized most elevated PAI-1 activity (0.33±0.05). At 24 hours after stroke, PAI-1 antigen levels returned to the before baseline level, however, there was a significantly higher PAI-1 activity (2.51±0.53) in tPA treated rats. In vitro tPA exposures significantly increased PAI-1 releases into culture medium in cultured endothelial cells (1.65±0.08) and platelets (2.02±0.17). Conclution: Our experimental results suggest that tPA administration may further elevate stroke-increased blood PAI-1 concentration, but also increase PAI-1 activity at late 24 hours after stroke. The increased PAI-1 releases after tPA exposures in vitro suggest tPA may directly stimulate PAI-1 secretions from vascular walls and circulation platelets, which partially contributes to the PAI-1 elevation observed in focal stroke rats. The underlying regulation mechanisms and pathological consequence need further investigation.
