Abstract: | Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is present in the platelet alpha-granule and is released on activation. However, there is some debate as to whether the megakaryocyte and platelet synthesize PAI-1, take it up from plasma, or both. We examined the expression of PAI-1 in differentiating megakaryocytic progenitor cells (UT-7) and in CD34(+)/CD41(-) cells from cord blood. UT-7 cells differentiated with thrombopoietin (TPO) resembled megakaryocytes (UT-7/TPO) with respect to morphology, ploidy, and the expression of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa. PAI-1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was upregulated and PAI-1 protein synthesized in the UT-7/TPO cells accumulated in the cytoplasm without being released spontaneously. In contrast, erythropoietin (EPO)-stimulated UT-7 cells (UT-7/EPO) did not express PAI-1 mRNA after stimulation with TPO because they do not have endogenous c-Mpl. After cotransfection with human wild-type c-mpl, the cells (UT-7/EPO-MPL) responded to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) with enhanced PAI-1 mRNA expression within 24 to 48 hours. However, induction of PAI-1 mRNA in UT-7/EPO-MPL cells by TPO required at least 14-days stimulation. UT-7/EPO cells expressing c-Mpl changed their morphology and the other characteristics similar to the UT-7/TPO cells. TPO also differentiated human cord blood CD34(+)/CD41(-) cells to CD34(-)/CD41(+) cells, generated morphologically mature megakaryocytes, and induced the expression of PAI-1 mRNA. These results suggest that both PAI-1 mRNA and de novo PAI-1 protein synthesis is induced after differentiation of immature progenitor cells into megakaryocytes by TPO. |
