Tissue-factor coagulant activity of cultured human endothelial and smooth
muscle cells and fibroblasts
JR Maynard, BE Dreyer, MB Stemerman and FA Pitlick
The tissue-factor (thromboplastic) activity of cultured human endothelial
cells and fibroblasts is low at time of transfer into fresh medium but
increases 3-10 fold. Endothelial cells reach peak activity (400 U/10(5)
cells) 5-8 hr after subculture. Activity in fibroblast cultures peaks
(3000-12,000 U/10(5) cells) 7-12 hr after subculture. After attaining
maximum activity, endothelial and fibroblast tissue- factor content
decreases in a time course similar to other cells studied in this
laboratory, approaching basal levels by 24-50 hr after subculture. If
medium over fibroblasts is changed every 12 hr, activity can be sustained
at the peak level for an additional day but cannot be maintained at a high
level indefinitely. The kinetics of expression of smooth muscle cell tissue
factor are markedly different from other cell types. There is always a
pronounced lag (30 hr or more) before the activity increases, and then, in
most cases, there is no subsequent decline in activity even though the
cells are not refed or restimulated. The activity of each of these cell
types is cryptic but becomes available after freeze-thaw disruption of
cells.
