The role of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in the plasma,
blood platelets, and vessel wall during acute arterial thrombus
formation was investigated in gene-deficient mice. Photochemically induced thrombosis in the carotid artery was analyzed via
transillumination. In comparison to thrombosis in C57BL/6J wild-type
(wt) mice (113 ± 19 × 106 arbitrary light units
[AU] n = 15, mean ± SEM), thrombosis in PAI-1 / mice (40 ± 10 × 106 AU,
n = 13) was inhibited (P < .01), indicating that PAI-1
controls fibrinolysis during thrombus formation. Systemic
administration of murine PAI-1 into PAI-1 / mice led
to a full recovery of thrombotic response. Occurrence of fibrinolytic
activity was confirmed in 2-antiplasmin
( 2-AP)-deficient mice. The sizes of thrombi developing
in wt mice, in 2-AP+/ and
2-AP / mice were 102 ± 35,
65 ± 8.1, and 13 ± 6.1 × 106 AU,
respectively (n = 6 each) (P < .05), compatible with
functional plasmin inhibition by 2-AP. In contrast,
thrombi in wt mice, t-PA / and u-PA /
mice were comparable, substantiating efficient inhibition of fibrinolysis by the combined PAI-1/ 2-AP action. Platelet
depletion and reconstitution confirmed a normal thrombotic response in
wt mice, reconstituted with PAI-1 / platelets, but
weak thrombosis in PAI-1 / mice reconstituted with wt
platelets. Accordingly, murine (wt) PAI-1 levels in platelet lysates
and releasates were 0.43 ± 0.09 ng/109 platelets and
plasma concentrations equaled 0.73 ± 0.13 ng/mL. After
photochemical injury, plasma PAI-1 rose to 2.9 ± 0.7 ng/mL (n = 9, P < .01). The plasma rise was prevented by
ligating the carotid artery. Hence, during acute thrombosis,
fibrinolysis is efficiently prevented by plasma 2-AP,
but also by vascular PAI-1, locally released into the circulation after
endothelial injury.
