The antigen content of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in primary breast cancer tissue extracts may be of strong prognostic value: high levels of PAI-1 in tumors predict poor prognosis for patients. The gene encoding PAI-1 is highly polymorphic and an insertion (5G)/deletion (4G) polymorphism in the PAI-1 gene promoter (the 4G/5G polymorphism), may have functional significance in PAI-1 expression. In the present work the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles of the 4G/5G polymorphism in subjects with breast cancer were investigated. Tumor tissues were obtained from 100 postmenopausal women with node-negative and node-positive ductal breast carcinoma with uniform tumor size. Blood samples from age matched healthy women served as control. The 4G/5G polymorphism was determined by PCR amplification using the allele specific primers. The distribution of the genotypes of the 4G/5G polymorphism in both control and patients did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. There were no differences in the genotype distributions and allele frequencies between node-positive and node-negative patients. The 4G/5G polymorphism may not be linked with elevated level of PAI-1 observed in breast cancer and therefore may not be associated with appearance and/or progression of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most prominent cancer among females in the United States. There are a number of risk factors associated with development of breast cancer, including consumption of a high-fat diet and obesity. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a cytokine upregulated in obesity whose expression is correlated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. As a key mediator of adipogenesis and regulator of adipokine production, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ(PPAR-γ) is involved in PAI-1 expression from adipose tissue. We summarize the current knowledge linking PPAR-γand PAI-1 expression to high-fat diet and obesity in the risk of breast cancer.

Summary Background: Type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) is considered to be risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A rebound of circulating PAI-1 has been reported after rt-PA administration. We investigated the relationships between PAI-1 levels before and after thrombolytic therapy with streptokinase (SK) as compared to rt-PA and the patency of infarct-related arteries. Methods and Results: Fifty five consecutive patients with acute MI were randomized to strep-tokinase or rt-PA. The plasma PAI-1 levels were studied before and serially within 24 h after thrombolytic administration. Vessel patency was assessed by an angiogram at 5 ± 1days. The PAI-1 levels increased significantly with both rt-PA and SK as shown by the levels obtained from a control group of 10 patients treated with coronary angioplasty alone. However, the area under the PAI-1 curve was significantly higher with SK than with rt-PA (p <0.01) and the plasma PAI-1 levels peaked later with SK than with rt-PA (18 h versus 3 h respectively). Conversely to PAI-1 levels on admission, the PAI-1 levels after thrombolysis were related to vessel patency. Plasma PAI-1 levels 6 and 18 h after SK therapy and the area under the PAI-1 curve were significantly higher in patients with occluded arteries (p <0.002, p <0.04 and p <0.05 respectively).The same tendency was observed in the t-PA group without reaching significance. Conclusions: This study showed that the PAI-1 level increase is more pronounced after SK treatment than after t-PA treatment. There is a relationship between increased PAI-1 levels after thrombolytic therapy and poor patency. Therapeutic approaches aimed at quenching PAI-1 activity after thrombolysis might be of interest to improve the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

SummaryWe analyzed fibrinolytic parameters in 20 healthy men and 20 healthy women, aged from 25 to 59, before and after 10 and 20 min venous occlusion. The 10 min post-occlusion fibrinolytic activity measured directly in diluted unfractionated plasma by a highly sensitive 125I-fibrin plate assay correlated well with the activity of euglobulins determined by the classical fibrin plate assay (r = 0.729), but pre-stasis activities determined with these two methods did not correlate (r = 0.084). The enhancement of fibrinolytic activity after venous occlusion was mainly due to an increase of t-PA in the occluded vessels (4-fold increase t-PA antigen after 10 min and 8-fold after 20 min venous occlusion). Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1)1 antigen levels at rest showed considerable dispersion ranging from 1.9 to 12.4 U/ml, respectively 6.9 to 77 ng/ml. A significant increase of PAI-1 antigen levels was observed after 10 and 20 min venous occlusion. At rest no correlation was found between PAI activity or PAI-1 antigen levels and the fibrinolytic activity measured by 125I-FPA. However, a high level of PAI-1 at rest was associated with a high prestasis antigen level of t-PA and a low fibrinolytic response after 10 min of venous stasis. Since the fibrinolytic response inversely correlated with PAI activity at rest, we conclude that its degree depends mainly on the presence of free PAI.

SummaryA new assay for functional plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) in plasma was developed. The assay is based on the quantitative conversion of PAI-1 to urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA)-PAI-l complex the concentration of which is then determined by an ELISA employing monoclonal anti-PAI-1 as catching antibody and monoclonal anti-u-PA as detecting antibody. The assay exhibits high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision. The level of functional PAI-1, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity and t-PA-PAI-1 complex was measured in normal subjects and in patients with venous thromboembolism in a silent phase. Blood collection procedures and calibration of the respective assays were rigorously standardized. It was found that the patients had a decreased fibrinolytic capacity. This could be ascribed to high plasma levels of PAI-1. The release of t-PA during venous occlusion of an arm for 10 min expressed as the increase in t-PA + t-PA-PAI-1 complex exhibited great variation and no significant difference could be demonstrated between the patients with a thrombotic tendency and the normal subjects.
