Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor‐1: Physiologic Role, Regulation, and the Influence of Common Pharmacologic Agents

Abstract: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the major inhibitor of endogenous thrombolysis, thereby promoting thrombosis. PAI-1 is also a primary contributor to the development and recurrence of acute myocardial infarction. The renin angiotensin system, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, and estrogen all influence the fibrinolytic system and PAI-1 in particular. Available data strongly suggest that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and hormone replacement therapy with estro… Show more

“…A major function of PAI-1 is the inactivation of tissue-type plasminogen (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen (uPA) activators, through covalent binding of PAI-1 to tPA or uPA, resulting in decreased plasmin activity and fibrinolytic potential (1)(2)(3). Through its involvement in the fibrinolytic pathway, PAI-1 has been shown to play a significant role in thrombotic-induced diseases, including venous thrombosis (4,5) and the acute coronary syndrome, wherein serum levels of PAI-1 increase upon coronary occlusion and predict future coronary events in human subjects (6 -8).…”

“…An example is pravastatin. 152 Recently, much consideration has been given to relationships between inflammatory processes and accelerated atherosclerosis, particularly in association with diabetes and insulin resistance. Increased PAI-1 expression is associated with inflammation, in part, because of stimulation of PAI-1 expression by cytokines such as interleukins -1 and -6, 153 tumor necrosis factor, and oxygen-centered free radicals 154 and in part because markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein can themselves increase PAI-1 expression.…”
