چکیده

The potential role of the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor in mediating VLDL-induced plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression was studied in vitro. Cultured endothelial cells incubated with VLDL showed an increased secretion of PAI-1. This response to VLDL could be completely prevented by the receptor-associated protein (RAP) and partially blocked by rabbit polyclonal anti-VLDL receptor IgG. Furthermore, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) control cells and cells overexpressing the VLDL receptor were transiently transfected with a PAI-1 promoter-reporter construct and incubated with VLDL. The PAI-1 promoter activity in response to VLDL was significantly higher in the VLDL receptor overexpressing cells compared to the control cells. Addition of RAP completely blocked the VLDL-activated PAI-1 transcription. Electromobility shift assay was performed to investigate whether the enhanced PAI-1 promoter activity seen in the VLDL receptor overexpressing cells in response to VLDL involved induction of the previously described VLDL-inducible factor(s) binding to the -675 to -653 region of the PAI-1 promoter. We found that the binding of the VLDL-inducible factor in VLDL receptor overexpressing cells was markedly enhanced by addition of VLDL as compared to control cells where no increased binding could be seen in response to VLDL. In summary, these results indicate that the VLDL receptor is a strong candidate for mediating VLDL effects on PAI-1 synthesis and secretion in cells expressing this receptor.

Effects of native, triglyceride-enriched, and oxidatively modified LDL on plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression in human endothelial cells.

Whereas VLDL has consistently been shown to induce a concentration-dependent increase in the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and liver cells, variable effects have been reported for native and oxidatively modified LDL. In the present study, activation of PAI-1 protein and mRNA expression by native LDL (nLDL), UV-oxidized...

Unsaturated fatty acids increase plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression in endothelial cells.

In vivo studies have demonstrated a strong positive correlation between plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride and plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity levels. Furthermore, VLDL has been shown to induce PAI-1 secretion from cultured endothelial cells. In contrast, no or variable effects on PAI-1 secretion have been reported for native low density lipoprotei...

Secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 from cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells is induced by very low density lipoprotein.

Clinical studies have demonstrated an impaired fibrinolytic function in patients with angiographically ascertained coronary artery disease or previous myocardial infarction. This decreased fibrinolytic function is to a major extent explained by the presence of high plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and is most common in patients with hyperlipoproteinemias type IIB and I...

Very low density lipoprotein-mediated signal transduction and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 in cultured HepG2 cells.

In normal subjects and in patients with cardiovascular disease, plasma triglycerides are positively correlated with plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels. Moreover, in vitro studies indicate that VLDLs induce PAI-1 synthesis in cultured cells, ie, endothelial and HepG2 cells. However, the signaling pathways involved in the effect of VLDL on PAI-1 synthesis have not yet been inve...

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Gene Implicated in the Impaired Fibrinolysis of Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein Response Element in the Promoter Region of the Human

Hypertriglyceridemia and impaired fibrinolytic function are linked to coronary heart disease and other atherothrombotic disorders. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may attenuate fibrinolysis by increasing the plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Furthermore, a common 4/5 guanosine (4G/5G) polymorphism in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene has been indicated to influence ...
