Osteoporosis is a chronic multifactorial disease characterized by deterioration of bone mass and is vulnerable to bone fracture. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is an important molecule for maintenance of optimum bone mass. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PAI-1 have been reported to alter PAI-1 expression and/or the translational level. In this report, we explored the possible role of common PAI-1 gene polymorphisms on predisposition to osteoporosis in a Chinese cohort. A total of 364 post-menopausal Chinese women diagnosed of having osteoporosis and 350 healthy females hailing from similar areas were enrolled in this study. Five common SNPs (−844G > A, −6754G/5G, +43G > A, +9785G > A and +11053T > G) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Relative expression of PAI-1 mRNA and plasma PAI-1 levels were quantified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. Prevalence of homozygous mutant (5G/5G) and minor allele (5G) of PAI-1 (−675 4G/5G) polymorphism was significantly more frequent in patients than in healthy controls (5G/5G: P < 0.0001, odds ratio (OR) = 3.18; 5G: P < 0.0001, OR = 1.65). Both plasma PAI-1 and relative mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in patients compared to healthy controls. Interestingly, the quantity of plasma PAI-1 and mRNA expression was correlated with PAI-1 (−675 4G/5G) polymorphism: subjects with 4G/4G genotype had elevated PAI-1 in comparison to homozygous mutant, and displayed lower quantity of PAI-1 protein and mRNA values. PAI-1 (−675 4G/5G) mutant is associated with susceptibility to development of osteoporosis in post-menopausal Chinese women. Furthermore, this variant in the promoter region alters plasma protein levels and relative expression of PAI-1.

The plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is expressed in many cancer cell types and modulates cancer growth, invasion, and angiogenesis. The present study investigated the association between five PAI-1 gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Five PAI-1 polymorphisms (−844G > A [rs2227631], −675 4G > 5G [rs1799889], +43G > A [rs6092], +9785G > A [rs2227694], and +11053T > G [rs7242]) were genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay in 459 CRC cases and 416 controls. Increased CRC risk was more frequently associated with PAI-1 −675 5G5G polymorphism than with 4G4G (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.556; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.012–2.391; p = 0.04). In contrast, for the PAI-1 +11053 polymorphism, we found a lower risk of CRC with the GG genotype (AOR = 0.620; 95% CI: 0.413–0.932; p = 0.02) than with the TT genotype, as well as for recessive carriers (TT + TG vs. GG, AOR = 0.662; 95% CI: 0.469–0.933; p = 0.02). The +43AA genotype was associated with lower overall survival (OS) than the +43GG genotype. Our results suggest that the PAI-1 genotype plays a role in CRC risk. This is the first study to identify an association between five PAI-1 polymorphisms and CRC incidence worldwide.

Background/AimThe aim of this work was to establish a potential correlation between specific polymorphisms and presence of hepatic fibrosis in Mexican patients with established liver fibrosis (ELF). Second, necroinflammatory index improvement was correlated with Pirfenidone (PFD) treatment response and the same polymorphisms.MethodsWe analyzed TGF-β polymorphisms in codon 25, a single basepair guanine insertion-deletion polymorphism (4G/5G) for PAI-1 and angiotensin AT-6 single nucleotide polymorphism located in -6 promoter region. Twenty patients infected with either hepatitis C virus (HCV) (n = 13) or affected by alcohol consumption (n= 7) were included. Thirty subjects with no hepatic damage were included in control group. Blood samples for genomic DNA were obtained and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 polymorphisms were done by polymerase chain reaction-artificial introduction of a restriction site, TGF-β by polymerase chain reaction-amplification refractory mutation system and AT by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Liver biopsies were obtained at baseline and after 12 months of PFD treatment.ResultsEstablished liver fibrosis patients had the homozygote G/G TGF-β genotype, which has been associated with increased development of fibrosis. None of our patients had the G/C genotype. All pure HCV and pure alcohol abuse subjects carried G/G TGF-β genotype (100% vs 37% control) (P = 0.0006). The odds of having TGF-β G/G genotype was 19.5 for HCV patients and 10.83 for alcohol consumption patients as compared with healthy subjects (P < 0.001). Established liver fibrosis patients had an improvement in necroinflammatory index after PFD treatment when correlated with plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and angiotensinogen-6 genotypes.ConclusionOur data suggested that a combination of inherited polymorphisms increased the risk of advanced fibrosis in ELF patients. Pure HCV and pure alcohol consumption patients which were homozygous G/G carriers had 19.5- and 10.8-fold higher risk to develop advanced fibrosis respectively.Abbreviations: TGF-β, transforming growth factor β; RAS, renin angiotensin system

Objectives:Endothelial disturbance and excess inflammatory response are pathogenic mechanisms in pre-eclampsia (PE). Authors determine the clinical diagnostic role for thrombomodulin (TM), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) as endothelial markers and C-reactive protein (CRP), and interlukin-6 (IL-6) as inflammatory markers when tested independently or in combinations.Materials and methods:We conducted a retrospective study in a cohort of 185 women grouped as 80 women with PE, 55 normotensive pregnant and 50 healthy non-pregnant. Plasma levels of TM, PAI-1, CRP and IL-6 were examined using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays.Results:Median levels and the positivity rates for the investigated markers were higher in PE as compared to the other groups (P< 0.0001). Using linear regression analysis, the investigated markers were significantly correlated regarding healthy nonpregnantvsPE or normotensive pregnantvsPE. The sensitivity of PAI-1 was the highest (98%) among the tested biomarkers. Combination between the investigated markers revealed absolute sensitivity (100%) and reliable specificity especially when PAI-1 was combined with CRP at 83% specificity.Conclusions:Investigated endothelial and inflammatory markers revealed sensitive diagnostic test for PE. However, coupled combination between PAI-1 with CRP showed superior both sensitivity and specificity which represent a promising new approach for detection of PE.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in biologic fluids was developed on the basis of two murine monoclonal antibodies raised against PAI-1 purified from HT- 1080 fibrosarcoma cells. The lower limit of sensitivity of the assay in plasma is 2 ng/mL. The assay is 12 times less sensitive toward the PAI- 1/human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) complex as compared with free PAI-1. The intraassay, interassay, and interdilution coefficients of variation are 5.2%, 8.0%, and 7.1%, respectively. The level of PAI-1 in platelet-poor plasma of healthy subjects is 18 +/- 10 ng/mL (mean +/- SD, n = 45). In platelet-rich plasma after freezing and thawing, 92% of PAI-1 antigen is released from platelets, whereas only 8% is found in the corresponding platelet-poor plasma. In platelet-poor plasma from healthy subjects, a linear correlation (r = 0.80) was found between PAI activity and PAI-1 antigen. In plasma approximately two thirds of the PAI-1 antigen was functionally active, whereas only 5% of the PAI-1 antigen released from platelets was active. During pregnancy a progressive increase of PAI-1 antigen levels up to three- to sixfold the control value was observed. In plasma of patients with recurrent deep vein thrombosis, PAI-1 levels were 44 +/- 20 ng/mL (mean +/- SD, n = 7), during a clinically silent phase. Four of these patients had a level above 38 ng/mL (mean +/- 2 SD of normal). The present assay, based on stable and reproducible reagents, allows the specific determination of PAI-1 antigen in biologic fluids. It may facilitate interlaboratory comparisons and be useful for further investigations of the role of PAI-1 in clinical conditions associated with impaired fibrinolysis and/or a tendency to thrombosis and investigations of the role of PAI-1 in platelets.

SummaryIn recent decades, evidence has been accumulating showing the important role of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) in growth, invasion, and metastasis of malignant tumours. The evidence comes from results with animal tumour models and from the observation that a high level of uPA in human tumours is associated with a poor patient prognosis. It therefore initially came as a surprise that a high tumour level of the uPA inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is also associated with a poor prognosis, the PAI-1 level in fact being one of the most informative biochemical prognostic markers. We review here recent investigations into the possible tumour biological role of PAI-1, performed by animal tumour models, histological examination of human tumours, and new knowledge about the molecular interactions of PAI-1 possibly underlying its tumour biological functions. The exact tumour biological functions of PAI-1 remain uncertain but PAI-1 seems to be multifunctional as PAI-1 is expressed by multiple cell types and has multiple molecular interactions. The potential utilisation of PAI-1 as a target for anti-cancer therapy depends on further mapping of these functions.
