本实验采用酶联免疫分析法检测猪主动脉内皮细胞培养液中tPA抗原、tPA活性和PAI活性,并观察了LDL和L精氨酸对tPA和PAI的影响。结果表明:LDL能明显降低tPA抗原含量。同时伴有tPA活性的降低和PAI活性增高;L精氨酸能增加tPA抗原含量伴tPA活性增高,但对PAI活性无明显影响。实验提示L精氨酸能保护血管内皮细胞,增加其tPA合成,并能部分地拮抗LDL降低tPA合成的作用,可能对动脉粥样硬化早期防治有重要应用价值。 相似文献

Fibrinolysis is a process responsible for the dissolution of formed thrombi to re‐establish blood flow after thrombus formation. Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) inhibits urokinase‐type and tissue‐type plasminogen activator (uPA and tPA) and is the major negative regulator of fibrinolysis. Inhibition of PAI‐1 activity prevents thrombosis and accelerates fibrinolysis. However, a specific antagonist of PAI‐1 is currently unavailable for therapeutic use. We screened a panel of uPA variants with mutations at and near the active site to maximize their binding to PAI‐1 and identified a potent PAI‐1 antagonist, PAItrap. PAItrap is the serine protease domain of urokinase containing active‐site mutation (S195A) and four additional mutations (G37bR–R217L–C122A–N145Q). PAItrap inhibits human recombinant PAI‐1 with high potency (Kd = 0.15 nM) and high specificity. In vitro using human plasma, PAItrap showed significant thrombolytic activity by inhibiting endogenous PAI‐1. In addition, PAItrap inhibits both human and murine PAI‐1, allowing the evaluation in murine models. In vivo, using a laser‐induced thrombosis mouse model in which thrombus formation and fibrinolysis are monitored by intravital microscopy, PAItrap reduced fibrin generation and inhibited platelet accumulation following vascular injury. Therefore, this work demonstrates the feasibility to generate PAI‐1 inhibitors using inactivated urokinase. 相似文献

The net balance between urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) has been implicated in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. To elucidate the mechanism of the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1)-dependent up-regulation of PAI-1 expression, we investigated which signaling pathway transduced by TGF-beta1 is responsible for this effect. Here, we show (1) nontoxic concentrations of TGF-beta1 up-regulates uPA expression in HRA and SKOV-3 human ovarian cancer cells, (2) TGF-beta1 activates Smads (phosphorylation of Smad2 and nuclear translocation of Smad3) and subsequently up-regulates PAI-1 expression in HRA cells, whereas TGF-beta1 neither activates Smads nor up-regulates PAI-1 in SKOV-3 cells, (3) pharmacological Src inhibitor PP2 or antisense (AS) c-Src oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) treatment significantly induces TGF-beta1-dependent activation of Smads, leading to PAI-1 synthesis, compared with controls, in SKOV-3 cells, (4) combination of TGF-beta1 and PP2, which activates PAI-1 expression and reduces uPA expression in SKOV-3, results in decreased invasiveness, (5) pharmacological inhibitors for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) (PD98059) and phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) (LY294002 and wortmannin) or AS-PI3K ODN transfection do not affect TGF-beta1-induced Smad signaling and up-regulation of PAI-1 expression in SKOV-3 cells pretreated with PP2, and (6) the induction of PAI-1 protein was partially inhibited by an inhibitor of Sp1-DNA binding, mithramycin, implicating, at least in part, Sp1 in the regulation of this gene by TGF-beta1. In conclusion, TGF-beta1-dependent activation of Smad2/3, leading to PAI-1 synthesis, may be negatively regulated by Src, but not its downstream targets MAPK and PI3K in SKOV-3 cells. These data also reflect the complex biological effect of uPA-PAI-1 system. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori infection leads to gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer, in part due to epithelial damage following bacteria binding to the epithelium. Infection with cag pathogenicity island (PAI) bearing strains of H. pylori is associated with increased gastric inflammation and a higher incidence of gastroduodenal diseases. It is now known that various effector molecules are injected into host epithelial cells via a type IV secretion apparatus, resulting in cytoskeletal changes and chemokine secretion. Whether binding of bacteria and subsequent apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells are altered by cag PAI status was examined in this study. METHODS: AGS, Kato III, and N87 human gastric epithelial cell lines were incubated with cag PAI-positive or cag PAI-negative strains of H. pylori in the presence or absence of clarithromycin. Binding was evaluated by flow cytometry and scanning electron microscopy. Apoptosis was assessed by detection of DNA degradation and ELISA detection of exposed histone residues. RESULTS: cag PAI-negative strains bound to gastric epithelial cells to the same extent as cag PAI-positive strains. Both cag PAI-positive and cag PAI-negative strains induced apoptosis. However, cag PAI-positive strains induced higher levels of DNA degradation. Incubation with clarithromycin inactivated H. pylori but did not affect binding. However, pretreatment with clarithromycin decreased infection-induced apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: cag PAI status did not affect binding of bacteria to gastric epithelial cells but cag PAI-positive H. pylori induced apoptosis more rapidly than cag PAI-negative mutant strains, suggesting that H. pylori binding and subsequent apoptosis are differentially regulated with regard to bacterial properties. 相似文献

Human plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is a serine protease inhibitor with a metastable active conformation. The lifespan of the active form of PAI-1 is modulated via interaction with the plasma protein, vitronectin, and various metal ions. These metal ions fall into two categories: Type I metals, including calcium, magnesium, and manganese, stabilize PAI-1 in the absence of vitronectin, whereas Type II metals, including cobalt, copper, and nickel, destabilize PAI-1 in the absence of vitronectin, but stabilize PAI-1 in its presence. To provide a mechanistic basis for understanding the unusual modulation of PAI-1 structure and activity, the binding characteristics and conformational effects of these two types of metals were further evaluated. Steady-state binding measurements using surface plasmon resonance indicated that both active and latent PAI-1 exhibit a dissociation constant in the low micromolar range for binding to immobilized nickel. Stopped-flow measurements of approach-to-equilibrium changes in intrinsic protein fluorescence indicated that the Type I and Type II metals bind in different modes that induce distinct conformational effects on PAI-1. Changes in the observed rate constants with varying concentrations of metal allowed accurate determination of binding affinities for cobalt, nickel, and copper, yielding dissociation constants of ~40, 30, and 0.09 μM, respectively. Competition experiments that tested effects on PAI-1 stability were consistent with these measurements of affinity and indicate that copper binds tightly to PAI-1. 相似文献

The polyphenol quercetin (Quer) represses expression of the cardiovascular disease risk factor plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) in cultured endothelial cells (ECs). Transfection of PAI‐1 promoter‐luciferase reporter deletion constructs identified a 251‐bp fragment (nucleotides ?800 to ?549) responsive to Quer. Two E‐box motifs (CACGTG), at map positions ?691 (E‐box1) and ?575 (E‐box2), are platforms for occupancy by several members of the c‐MYC family of basic helix‐loop‐helix leucine zipper (bHLH‐LZ) proteins. Promoter truncation and electrophoretic mobility shift/supershift analyses identified upstream stimulatory factor (USF)‐1 and USF‐2 as E‐box1/E‐box2 binding factors. ECs co‐transfected with a 251 bp PAI‐1 promoter fragment containing the two E‐box motifs (p251/luc) and a USF‐2 expression vector (pUSF‐2/pcDNA) exhibited reduced luciferase activity versus p251/luc alone. Overexpression of USF‐2 decreased, while transfection of a dominant‐negative USF construct increased, EC growth consistent with the known anti‐proliferative properties of USF proteins. Quer‐induced decreases in PAI‐1 expression and reduced cell proliferation may contribute, at least in part, to the cardioprotective benefit associated with daily intake of polyphenols. J. Cell.
