Generation in plasma of a fast-acting inhibitor of plasminogen activator in response to endotoxin stimulation.

چکیده
Endotoxin producing bacteria cause disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC); however, the mechanism of endotoxin action in man is still unclear. Impairment of the fibrinolytic system has been suggested as a contributing mechanism. A single injection of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in rabbits resulted in a marked and prolonged increase of the levels of a fast-acting inhibitor of plasminogen activator (PA-inhibitor) in plasma (from 3.9 +/- 0.7 to 41 +/- 13.2 U/ml after 3 h). Gel filtration studies indicated that inhibition of human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) by rabbit plasma is accompanied by a change in the elution profile of the activator compatible with the formation of an enzyme-inhibitor complex with an apparent molecular weight of 100,000. Injection of human t-PA (1,500 IU/kg body wt) in endotoxin treated animals resulted in very fast inhibition of t-PA and formation of a similar complex. The half-life of circulating PA-inhibitor activity in rabbits was about 7 min as estimated by donor receiver plasma transfusion experiments. Stimulation of cultured human endothelial cells with endotoxin resulted in enhanced rate of accumulation of PA-inhibitor activity in the culture medium (two- to sevenfold increase). In five patients with septicemia, markedly increased levels of PA-inhibitor (14.3 +/- 15.5 U/ml) as compared with control subjects (1.3 +/- 0.7 U/ml) were observed in plasma. A very strong correlation (r = 0.98) was found between inhibition of t-PA and of urokinase in all conditions, suggesting that this fast-acting inhibitor reacts with both plasminogen activators. These data suggest that the appearance of this fast-acting PA-inhibitor is very sensitive to endotoxin stimulation. The marked increase in the level of PA-inhibitor in blood may contribute to the pathogenesis of DIC in septicemia.

Plasma levels of a fast-acting plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), which neutralizes both tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase, are markedly increased in endotoxin-treated rabbits. The ability of this inhibitor to prevent the fibrinolysis that occurs after a thrombogenic stimulus was investigated in a rabbit model.

Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a glycoprotein with inhibitory effects on the formation of plasmin from plasminogen by plasminogen activator. Thus, it prevents clot lysis in vessel walls. Several evidences prove the relationship between coronary artery disease and response to fibrinolytic therapy in patients with myocardial infarction with PAI-1 level. Opium addiction i...
