The effect of purified human activated protein C (APC) and protein S on fibrinolysis was studied by using an in vitro blood clot lysis technique. Blood clots were formed from citrated blood (supplemented with 125I-fibrinogen) by adding thrombin and Ca2+-ions; lysis of the clots was achieved by adding tissue-type plasminogen activator. The release of labeled fibrin degradation products from the clots into the supernatant was followed in time. We clearly demonstrated that APC accelerates whole blood clot lysis in vitro. The effect of APC was completely quenched by antiprotein C IgG, pretreatment of APC with diisopropylfluorophosphate, and preincubation of the blood with antiprotein S IgG. This demonstrates that both the active site of APC and the presence of the cofactor, protein S, are essential for the expression of the profibrinolytic properties. At present, the substrate of APC involved in the regulation of fibrinolysis is not yet known. Analysis of the radiolabeled fibrin degradation products demonstrated that APC had no effect on the fibrin cross-linking capacity of factor XIII. 相似文献

A comparison between activated protein C and des-1-41-light chain- activated protein C in reactions with type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study investigates the role of the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (gla) containing domain of activated protein C in interactions with both platelet-derived and purified type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1). The activity of human platelet PAI-1 was neutralized to the same extent by bovine activated protein C and bovine des-1-41- light chain-activated protein C. Both forms of activated protein C formed SDS-stable, divalent-cation independent complexes with platelet PAI-1, as demonstrated by immunoblotting using antibodies directed to either protein C or PAI-1. Since activated protein C neutralized PAI-1, the potential inhibition of the enzyme by PAI-1 was studied. Purified PAI-1 inhibited the amidolytic activity of bovine-activated protein C and bovine des-1-41-light chain-activated protein C with a k2 of 2.85 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 for both proteins. These data suggest that the gla domain of activated protein C is not required for neutralization of PAI- 1 activity, for complex formation with PAI-1, or for inhibition of the amidolytic activity of activated protein C by PAI-1. 相似文献

1. Structure-activity relationships have been established for the inhibition of urokinase by aromatic diamidines. In an assay system employing purified urokinase and human plasminogen the most potent inhibitor was found in 4',4'-diamidino-2-hydroxy-1,4-diphenoxybutane which proved 5600 times more active on a molar bases than epsilon-aminocaproic acid (E-ACA). 2. 4',4'-diamidino-2-hydroxy-1,4-diphenoxybutane behaved as a competitive inhibitor of the urokinase catalyzed hydrolysis of N-alpha-acetyl-L-lysine methyl ester. At pH 7.85 and 37 degrees C the K-1 value was determined as 3.18 times 10-6 M which compares with a value of 6.79 times 10-5 M for p-aminobenzamidine and 3.57 times 10-2 M for E-ACA. 3. In two fibrinolytic tests including urokinase as activator the superiority of diamidines over E-ACA was less marked than in the pure plasminogen activation system. This was due to the presence of certain plasma proteins in the fibrinolysis assays which augmented the inhibitory strength of E-ACA. The order of effectiveness of diamidines in the lysis tests was also different from the one in the activation test. In a human fibrin clot lysis test the most active inhibitor was 3',3'-diamidino-2-hydroxy-1,4-diphenoxybutane which was 1700 times more effective on a molar basis than E-ACA. In a human plasma clot lysis test the strongest inhibitor, 2-hydroxy-stilbamidine, was 70 times more powerful than E-ACA. 相似文献

Simultaneous evaluation of coagulation and fibrinolysis facilitates an overall understanding of normal and pathological haemostasis. We established an assay for assessing clot formation and fibrinolysis simultaneously using clot waveform analysis by the trigger of a mixture of activated partial thromboplastin time reagent and an optimized concentration of tissue-type plasminogen activator (0·63 μg/ml) to examine the temporal reactions in a short monitoring time (<500 s). The interplay between clot formation and fibrinolysis was confirmed by analysing the effects of argatroban, tranexamic acid and thrombomodulin. Fibrinogen levels positively correlated with coagulation and fibrinolytic potential and initial fibrin clot formation was independent of plasminogen concentration. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1-deficient (-def) and α2-antiplasmin-def plasmas demonstrated different characteristic hyper-fibrinolytic patterns. For the specificity of individual clotting factor-def plasmas, factor (F)VIII-def and FIX-def plasmas in particular demonstrated shortened fibrinolysis lag-times (FLT) and enhanced endogenous fibrinolysis potential in addition to decreased maximum coagulation velocity, possibly reflecting the fragile formation of fibrin clots. Tranexamic acid depressed fibrinolysis to a similar extent in FVIII-def and FIX-def plasmas. We concluded that the clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis technique could sensitively monitor both sides of fibrin clot formation and fibrinolysis, and could provide an easy-to-use assay to help clarify the underlying pathogenesis of bleeding disorders in routine clinical practice. 相似文献

The fibrinogen Aalpha R16C mutation is a common cause of dysfibrinogenaemia and has been previously associated with both bleeding and thrombosis. However, the mechanism underlying the thrombotic phenotype has not yet been elucidated. This report characterises the defect in fibrinolysis seen as a result of the Aalpha R16C mutation. A young patient with dysfibrinogenaemia (fibrinogen Hershey III) was found to be heterozygous for the Aalpha R16C mutation. Functional assays were performed on the purified fibrinogen to characterise clot formation and lysis with plasmin and trypsin. Consistent with previous results, clot formation was diminished. Unexpectedly, fibrinolysis was also delayed. Plasminogen activation was normal, ruling out decreased plasmin generation as the mechanism behind the fibrinolytic resistance. Western blot analysis showed no difference in the amount of bound alpha2-antiplasmin or albumin. When clot lysis was assayed with trypsin substituted for plasminogen, a significant delay was also observed, indicating that defective binding to plasminogen could not explain the fibrinolytic resistance. These results suggest that the defective fibrinolysis is due to increased proteolytic resistance, most likely reflecting changes in clot structure. 相似文献

The enhancement of fibrinolysis constitutes a promising approach to treat thrombotic diseases. Activated thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa) attenuates fibrinolysis and is an attractive target to develop profibrinolytic drugs. TAFI can be activated by thrombin, thrombin/thrombomodulin, or plasmin, but the in vivo physiologic TAFI activator(s) are unknown. Here, we generated and characterized MA-TCK26D6, a monoclonal antibody raised against human TAFI, and examined its profibrinolytic properties in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, MA-TCK26D6 showed a strong profibrinolytic effect caused by inhibition of the plasmin-mediated TAFI activation. In vivo, MA-TCK26D6 significantly decreased fibrin deposition in the lungs of thromboembolism-induced mice. Moreover, in the presence of MA-TCK26D6, plasmin-α(2)-antiplasmin complexes in plasma of thromboembolism-induced mice were significantly increased compared with a control antibody, indicative of an acceleration of fibrinolysis through MA-TCK26D6. In this study, we show that plasmin is an important TAFI activator that hampers in vitro clot lysis. Furthermore, this is the first report on an anti-TAFI monoclonal antibody that demonstrates a strong profibrinolytic effect in a mouse thromboembolism model. 相似文献

3-Hydroxypropyl flufenamide (Flu-HPA) is one of a series of flufenamic acid derivatives that enhances blood clot lysis in vitro. Studies of possible mechanisms of action of Flu-HPA were undertaken. The profibrinolytic activity of Flu-HPA in clot lysis assays was found to be dependent on plasminogen. The influence of Flu-HPA on the ability of purified alpha 2-antiplasmin to inhibit purified plasmin was studied. Plasmin activity was determined using 125I-fibrin plates or the spectrophotometric tripeptide substrate, Val-Leu-Lys-paranitroanilide. At Flu-HPA concentrations greater than 1 mM, the inhibitory activity of alpha 2-antiplasmin was abolished in a time-dependent and concentration- dependent manner. The influence of Flu-HPA on the ability of purified Cl inhibitor to inhibit purified plasma kallikrein and beta-Factor XIIa was also studied. Cl inhibitor activity was abolished by Flu-HPA at concentrations greater than 2 mM. Notably, Flu-HPA up to 60 mM did not affect the amidolytic activities of plasmin, kallikrein, or beta-Factor XIIa. Flu-HPA did not release enzyme activity from preformed complexes of either alpha 2-antiplasmin and plasmin of Cl inhibitor and kallikrein. A water-soluble derivative of flufenamic acid, N-flufenamyl- glutamic acid, also inactivated alpha 2-antiplasm and Cl inhibitor. This inactivation was shown to be reversible. These results indicate that synthetic fibrinolytic compounds such as flufenamic acid derivatives may promote fibrinolysis by directly inactivating alpha 2- antiplasmin and Cl inhibitor. 相似文献

Monospecific antiserum to an unusually stable Mr 50,000 plasminogen-activator inhibitor (PAI) purified from cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells was employed in conjunction with reverse fibrin autography to determine whether human platelets, serum, and plasma contain immunologically related inhibitors. Reverse fibrin autography revealed the presence of a Mr 50,000 inhibitor in the platelet and serum samples but not in normal plasma. However, a Mr 50,000 inhibitor was detected in plasma obtained from individuals with increased PAI activity. In each case, treatment of the sample with the anti-inhibitor serum removed the Mr 50,000 inhibitor. The inhibitor present in each sample neutralized exogenously added tissue-type plasminogen activator in a rapid manner. Inhibition was associated with the formation of a NaDodSO4-resistant enzyme-inhibitor complex of Mr 120,000. Again, treatment of the samples with the anti-inhibitor serum removed both the inhibitory activity and the component in these samples that binds to tissue-type plasminogen activator. Thus, the rapidly acting PAI present in human platelets, serum, and patient plasma is immunologically related to the PAI synthesized by cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. This molecule may be the physiologically relevant inhibitor of plasminogen activator in the vascular system and, as such, may serve an important role in regulating the initiation of vascular fibrinolysis. 相似文献

A life-threatening thrombus in massive pulmonary embolism has to be eliminated within minutes. Extremely activated plasmatic fibrinolysis destroys such thrombi in time: 50 microL plasma clots were incubated with urokinase or tissue-type plasminogen activator and 50 microL pooled normal plasma. The microtiter plate clot lysis assay was performed. The time point at which 50% of the clot has been lysed is 4 minutes for 8333 IU/mL urokinase or an equimolar concentration of tissue-type plasminogen activator (52498 IU/mL = 105 microg/mL). The effective dose 50% at 5 minutes lysis time is about 800 nM (4320 IU/mL) urokinase or (27220 IU/mL = 54 microg/mL) tissue-type plasminogen activator. Addition of plasminogen to the plasmatic clot supernatant improves thrombolysis if 65 IU/mL of urokinase acts for 10 minutes. The risk for severe intracranial hemorrhage in massive thrombolysis might be much lower than the lethality of a massive pulmonary embolism. Extremely activated plasmatic thrombolysis could be clinically indicated. 相似文献

The profibrinolytic effect of activated protein C in clots formed from plasma is TAFI-dependent 总被引:25,自引:3,他引:25
Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is the precursor of an exopeptidase that is identical to plasma procarboxypeptidase B. Upon activation by thrombin, activated TAFI (TAFIa) attenuates fibrinolysis, presumably by catalyzing the removal of C-terminal lysines from partially degraded fibrin. Activated protein C (APC) proteolytically inactivates the essential cofactor in prothrombinase, factor Va, and limits both the formation of thrombin and subsequent activation of TAFI, thereby appearing profibrinolytic. TAFI is able to reconstitute an APC-dependent shortening of lysis time in a purified system; however, it remained to be determined the extent to which TAFI is involved in the profibrinolytic effect of APC in a plasma-based system. To aid in addressing this question, two monoclonal antibodies (MoAbTAFI#16 and #13) and a polyclonal antibody were produced against purified TAFI. MoAbTAFI#16 was shown to inhibit TAFI activation and thereby appears to stimulate fibrinolysis. Furthermore, an enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay was developed using MoAbTAFI#13 and the polyclonal antibody. Through its use, the plasma concentration of TAFI was determined to be 73 nmol/L. In addition, a turbidity assay was used to determine the effect of APC on tissue plasminogen activator-induced fibrinolysis of clots produced from normal human plasma (NHP), plasma immunodepleted of TAFI (TdP), and TdP reconstituted with purified TAFI. APC shortened lysis time of clots produced from NHP in a saturable and concentration-dependent manner. However, APC had no effect on lysis time of clots formed from either TdP or NHP in the presence of 80 nmol/L MoAbTAFI#16. The APC effect could be reconstituted in TdP by the addition of purified TAFI. The lysis time in TdP was increased from 50 to 180 minutes in a TAFI concentration-dependent manner. The EC50 was 15 nmol/L and saturation was approached at physiologically relevant concentrations (60 nmol/L). The profibrinolytic effect of APC was also compared with that of MoAbTAFI#16 and two competitive inhibitors, an inhibitor of the carboxypeptidase A and B family purified from potato tubers and 2-Guanidinoethylmercaptosuccinic acid (GEMSA). All were able to reduce lysis time of clots formed from normal human plasma by 90 minutes, yielding respective EC50 values of 5 nmol/L, 15 nmol/L, 50 nmol/L, and 90 mumol/L. Therefore, the majority of the profibrinolytic effect of APC, in an in vitro plasma system, is dependent on TAFI. Because TAFIa dramatically influences lysis time, inhibitors of TAFIa or TAFI activation may prove to be important adjuvants for thrombolytic therapy. 相似文献

Initiation and regulation of fibrinolysis in human plasma at the plasminogen activator level 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The initiation and regulation of fibrinolysis has been studied by reconstitution of fibrinolytic activity in human plasma in vitro. Depletion of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) antigen by immunoadsorption of human plasma with anti-tPA Ig Sepharose 4B leads to total loss of spontaneous fibrinolytic activity determined by lysis of a thrombin-induced clot. Addition of physiological concentrations of purified tPA to tPA-depleted plasma restores fibrinolytic activity as a function of the length of time between tPA addition and clotting. Addition of free tPA to tPA-depleted plasma followed by immediate clotting results in a high rate of fibrinolysis. In contrast, when free tPA is allowed to incubate in plasma for 10 to 60 minutes prior to clot formation, the fibrinolytic activity of tPA is gradually lost. The loss of tPA-induced fibrinolytic activity in unclotted plasma is accompanied by decreased partitioning of tPA antigen into fibrin after clotting and is kinetically correlated with the formation of a 100 kilodalton (kDa) tPA complex as demonstrated by SDS-gel electrophoresis and fibrin-agar zymography. These results suggest that free tPA is susceptible to complexation by the plasma inhibitor in the absence of a clot. Fibrin formation renders tPA relatively inaccessible to inhibition. The tPA antigen isolated from stored plasma consists mainly of 100 kDa activity in SDS-gel electrophoresis and zymography, indicating that the tPA complex is resistant to dissociation by SDS. Upon rezymography of the sliced gel, only a 60 kDa tPA activity is found, suggesting that the activity at 100 kDa is at least partly due to free tPA dissociated from the complex during the first zymography. Conversion of tPA complex to enzymatically active free tPA also occurs with brief SDS exposure followed by incubation in the presence of excess Triton X-100 or by hydroxylamine treatment. These results reconcile the apparent discrepancy of the 100 kDA inhibitor-tPA complex manifesting plasminogen activation activity during zymography. The plasma tPA- inhibitor complex is precipitated strongly by antisera against plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs) of human Hep G2 hepatoma and HT- 1080 fibrosarcoma cells and weakly by antiserum against bovine aortic endothelial cell PAI but not by antiserum against a placental PAI (PAI- 2) suggesting that the plasma inhibitor is immunologically related to Hep G2, HT-1080 and possibly endothedial cell PAIs. Based on the above findings, a simple model for the initiation and regulation of plasma fibrinolysis at the PA level has been formulated. 相似文献

Hypofibrinolysis plays a role in thrombophilic states, and a thrombelastography-based method incorporating tissue-type plasminogen activator to determine vulnerability to fibrinolytic stress has recently been developed. This study proposed to kinetically define fibrinolytic vulnerability and the contribution of thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor to fibrinolytic defenses in normal subjects. Plasma from 30 normal subjects was exposed to tissue factor/kaolin and tissue-type plasminogen activator (100 IU/ml). Prior to activation of coagulation, samples were either not exposed or exposed to potato carboxypeptidase inhibitor (25 microg/ml, a thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor). Data were collected until clot lysis time was observed. In plasma, time to onset of maximum rate of fibrinolysis was 200-1125 s (95% confidence interval), maximum rate of lysis was -2.0--0.8 dynes/cm2 per s, and clot lysis time was 555-1595 s. Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor's inhibition decreased the time to onset of maximum fibrinolysis by 45%, increased the rate of maximum lysis by 50%, and decreased clot lysis time by 45%. The study established a range of fibrinolytic kinetic values and the contribution of thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor in normal subjects. Study of disease states involving potential hypofibrinolysis (e.g., in-situ ventricular assist device, cancer) could be conducted using this system to link fibrinolytic vulnerability and thrombophilia. 相似文献

The prothrombin gene mutation G20210A is a common risk factor for thrombosis and is associated with increased prothrombin levels. However, the mechanism whereby hyperprothrombinemia predisposes to thrombosis remains unclear. Because thrombin is the physiologic activator of TAFI (thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor), the precursor of an antifibrinolytic carboxypeptidase (TAFIa), we evaluated the influence of hyperprothrombinemia on fibrinolysis. Thirty-two heterozygous carriers of the G20210A mutation and 30 noncarriers were studied. Plasma fibrinolytic factors and TAFI levels were similar in the 2 groups. Mean lysis time of tissue factor-induced plasma clots exposed to 25 ng/mL exogenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) was significantly longer in 20210A carriers than in control donors. This difference disappeared on addition of a specific inhibitor of TAFIa. Determination of thrombin and TAFIa activity, generated during clot lysis, revealed that G20210A mutation was associated with a significant enhancement of late thrombin formation and an increase in TAFI activation. Plasma prothrombin level was highly significantly correlated with both clot lysis time and TAFI activation. The addition of purified prothrombin, but not of factors X or VIIa, to normal plasma caused a concentration-dependent, TAFI-mediated inhibition of fibrinolysis. These findings provide a new mechanism that might contribute to the thrombotic risk in prothrombin 20210A carriers. 相似文献

Plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs) play a pivotal role in the control of fibrinolysis. The mechanisms regulating the plasma levels of PAI(s) are still unknown. We report here that the infusion of bovine thrombin (1 U/kg/min, over 60 minutes) in rabbits treated with 0.5 microgram/kg endotoxin (to induce an increase in circulating fast- acting PAI) causes a marked reduction of PAI (50% of preinfusion value), as indicated by functional assay and reverse fibrin autography. Moreover, blood clots prepared from samples obtained after thrombin infusion lysed faster than preinfusion clots when exposed, in vitro, to tissue plasminogen activator. Donor-receiver transfusion experiments showed that the half-life of circulating PAI activity was shorter in thrombin-infused rabbits than in controls (4.1 minutes versus 7.4 minutes), suggesting an accelerated clearance. As expected, thrombin infusion resulted also in activation of protein C (PC). The following observations suggest a close relationship between PC activation and PAI reduction. (1) Infusion of thrombin in rabbits made deficient in vitamin K-dependent plasma proteins by warfarin treatment did not result in modification of PAI activity. (2) Treatment of the latter animals with a barium citrate eluate (PE) of rabbit plasma restored both the anticoagulant and profibrinolytic response to thrombin. (3) Short infusion of thrombin-activated PE (containing activated PC, PCa), but not of unactivated PE, induced both anticoagulation and reduction of PAI activity. In vitro, incubation of PAI-rich rabbit serum with thrombin-activated PE and phospholipids resulted in a progressive disappearance of PAI activity with a t1/2 of 30 minutes. However, this slow inactivation rate does not fully explain the results obtained in vivo. Our data suggest that thrombin infusion in rabbits causes a reduction of circulating PAI activity and that activation of PC is the intermediary mechanism involved in this phenomenon. 相似文献

Thrombelastographic detection of fibrinolysis has been critical in the identification and treatment of coagulopathy in many perioperative settings. However, the fibrinolytic assessments have been at best non-parametric, amplitude-based determinations (e.g. estimated % lysis, clot lysis time or clot lysis rate). Recognizing this limitation, a methodology was developed to measure the onset, speed and extent of clot disintegration by changes in elastic modulus derived from the amplitude. Using this approach, our goal was to characterize the clot disintegration kinetics of progressive plasminogen activation with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and to determine the extent of inhibition of fibrinolysis mediated by tPA with aprotinin and activated factor XIII. While the estimated % lysis and clot lysis time were significantly affected by tPA (0-300 U/ml), elastic modulus-based analyses in a more activity-specific fashion demonstrated significantly decreased onset, increased rate and increased extent of fibrinolysis. Furthermore, aprotinin was found to inhibit the onset, rate and extent of fibrinolysis in an activity-dependent fashion, whereas activated factor XIII was noted to enhance the speed of onset of clot growth and delay the onset of fibrinolysis. In summary, our results serve as the rational basis to utilize this elastic modulus-based approach to quantify the extent of fibrinolysis in clinical and laboratory settings, as well as potentially guiding antifibrinolytic therapy. 相似文献

Disseminated thrombotic processes in the microcirculation are considered to be an important cause of multiple organ failure in septic patients. Fibrinolysis is one endogenous mechanism protecting the circulation from overwhelming thrombosis. Therefore, we looked for alterations of fibrinolytic parameters (tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), D-dimer, euglobulin-clot-lysis-time (ECLT), plasminogen, alpha 2-antiplasmin) and of some coagulation parameters (prothrombin time, fibrinogen, platelets, antithrombin III, protein C, factor XII) in clearly defined septic patients and for the relations of these values to the severity of the disease (APACHE II-score). An increase in D-dimer and t-PA-antigen was registered in all patients, while factor XII and plasminogen were decreased, indicating an activated fibrinolysis. In contrast the systemic fibrinolytic capacity of the blood was strongly inhibited: t-PA-activity was not detectable, PAI-function was elevated, the ECLT was prolonged and alpha 2-antiplasmin was normal. Coagulation was moderately activated: the platelets, antithrombin III and protein C were decreased, the prothrombin time was prolonged and fibrinogen was normal. The changes in t-PA-antigen, PAI-function, factor XII, prothrombin time and antithrombin III were significantly related to the APACHE II-score of the patients. We conclude that the activation of coagulation is accompanied by an activation of fibrinolysis in the microcirculation, but that systemically the increased inhibitors of fibrinolysis (PAI, alpha 2-antiplasmin) induce a decrease of the fibrinolytic capacity of the blood. The severity of the disease determines the extent of the alterations. 相似文献

Two patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia and severe bleeding associated with hypofibrinogenemia were studied. The markedly shortened whole blood clot lysis time and dilute clot lysis time suggested that the defect was an increase in fibrinolysis. Although disseminated intravascular coagulation could not be totally excluded as an alternative mechanism, excessive fibrinolysis was confirmed as the pathogenic cause by the prompt response to the administration of tranexamic acid. The low circulating plasminogen, α2 plasmin inhibitor level and the presence of α2 plasmin inhibitor-protease complex in both patients suggested that the increased fibrinolysis probably resulted from the liberation of plasminogen activator from the promyelocyte. 相似文献

Platelets inhibit fibrinolysis in vitro by both plasminogen activator inhibitor-1-dependent and -independent mechanisms 总被引:2,自引:5,他引:2
Platelet-rich thrombi are resistant to lysis by tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Although platelet alpha-granules contain plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a fast-acting inhibitor of t-PA, the contribution of PAI-1 to the antifibrinolytic effect of platelets has remained a subject of controversy. We recently reported a patient with a homozygous mutation within the PAI-1 gene that results in complete loss of PAI-1 expression. Platelets from this individual constitute a unique reagent with which to probe the role of platelet PAI-1 in the regulation of fibrinolysis. The effects of PAI-1-deficient platelets were compared with those of normal platelets in an in vitro clot lysis assay. Although the incorporation of PAI-1-deficient platelets into clots resulted in a moderate inhibition of t-PA-mediated fibrinolysis, normal platelets markedly inhibited clot lysis under the same conditions. However, no difference between PAI-1-deficient platelets and platelets with normal PAI-1 content was observed when streptokinase or a PAI-1-resistant t-PA mutant were used to initiate fibrinolysis. In addition, PAI-1-resistant t-PA was significantly more efficient in lysing clots containing normal platelets than wild-type t-PA. We conclude that platelets inhibit t-PA-mediated fibrinolysis by both PAI- 1-dependent and PAI-1-independent mechanisms. These results have important implications for the role of PAI-1 in the resistance of platelet-rich thrombi to lysis in vivo. 相似文献

A large spectrum of methods has been used in both routine and scientific studies of the hemostatic system. The particular interest of the investigators has been focused on methods simultaneously evaluating clotting and fibrinolysis processes. The aim of the present study was to develop an optical method for overall evaluation of clot formation and lysis (CL-test) that could be used in drug screening. The CL-test was performed in citrate plasma diluted with Tris-buffered saline. Thrombin was applied for plasma clotting (0.5 IU/ml), while tissue plasminogen activator (60 ng/ml) was used for fibrinolysis activation. Clot formation and lysis were monitored in thermostatic conditions (37 degrees C) as a continuous record of transmittance change. By means of own computer program, kinetic parameters of the processes studied and plasma overall clot formation and fibrinolysis potential, expressed as the area under the clotgeneration and fibrinolysis curves, were calculated. The CL-test was developed and checked by evaluation of the effect, on clot formation and lysis, of various concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid (a drug that affects hemostasis), aprotinin (fibrinolysis activator) and venoruton (fibrinolysis inhibitor). The obtained results confirmed that the test we propose for monitoring clot formation, stabilization and lysis is sensitive and enables precise estimation of the processes studied. In our opinion, it can be a useful tool in drug screening investigations. 相似文献

Characterization of ultrasound-potentiated fibrinolysis in vitro 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
We have characterized the effects of ultrasound on fibrinolysis in vitro to investigate the mechanism of ultrasonic potentiation of fibrinolysis and to identify potentially useful ultrasound parameters for therapeutic application. Radiolabeled clots in thin walled tubes were exposed to ultrasound fields in a water bath at 37 degrees C, and lysis was measured by solubilization of radiolabel. Ultrasound accelerated lysis of plasma, whole blood, and purified fibrin clots mediated by recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA), urokinase, or streptokinase, but ultrasound by itself caused no clot solubilization. The degree of ultrasonic potentiation was dependent on plasminogen activator concentration, increasing from 2.2-fold at a streptokinase concentration of 75 U/mL to 5.5-fold at 250 U/mL in a 1 MHz ultrasound field at 4 W/cm2. Ultrasound exposure resulted in heating due to absorption by the plastic tube, but the temperature increase was insufficient to account for the increase in clot lysis rate, indicating that the primary effect was nonthermal. Ultrasound did not accelerate hydrolysis of a peptide substrate by rt-PA and did not alter the rate of plasmic degradation of fibrinogen, indicating that the augmentation of enzymatic fibrinolysis required the presence of a fibrin gel. The acceleration of fibrinolysis by ultrasound was greater at higher intensities and duty cycles and was maximum at frequencies between 1 and 2.2 MHz, but decreased at 3.4 MHz. These findings suggest that ultrasound accelerates enzymatic fibrinolysis by increasing transport of reactants through a cavitation-related mechanism. 相似文献
