Abstract
The fibrinolytic system is involved in many physiological functions, among which the important members can interact with each other, either synergistically or antagonistically to participate in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) acts as a crucial element of the fibrinolytic system and functions in an anti-fibrinolytic manner in the normal coagulation process. It inhibits plasminogen activator, and affects the relationship between cells and extracellular matrix. PAI-1 not only involved in blood diseases, inflammation, obesity and metabolic syndrome but also in tumor pathology. Especially PAI-1 plays a different role in different digestive tumors as an oncogene or cancer suppressor, even a dual role for the same cancer. We term this phenomenon "PAI-1 paradox". PAI-1 is acknowledged to have both uPA-dependent and -independent effects, and its different actions can result in both beneficial and adverse consequences. Therefore, this review will elaborate on PAI-1 structure, the dual value of PAI-1 in different digestive system tumors, gene polymorphisms, the uPA-dependent and -independent mechanisms of regulatory networks, and the drugs targeted by PAI-1 to deepen the comprehensive understanding of PAI-1 in digestive system tumors.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 79:323. [PMID: 35633384 PMCID: PMC11072877 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-022-04340-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In multiple sclerosis (MS), disturbance of the plasminogen activation system (PAS) and blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption are physiopathological processes that might lead to an abnormal fibrin(ogen) extravasation into the parenchyma. Fibrin(ogen) deposits, usually degraded by the PAS, promote an autoimmune response and subsequent demyelination. However, the PAS disruption is not well understood and not fully characterized in this disorder. METHODS Here, we characterized the expression of PAS actors during different stages of two mouse models of MS (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis-EAE), in the central nervous system (CNS) by quantitative RT-PCR, immunohistofluorescence and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Thanks to constitutive PAI-1 knockout mice (PAI-1 KO) and an immunotherapy using a blocking PAI-1 antibody, we evaluated the role of PAI-1 in EAE models and its impact on physiopathological processes such as fibrin(ogen) deposits, lymphocyte infiltration and demyelination. RESULTS We report a striking overexpression of PAI-1 in reactive astrocytes during symptomatic phases, in two EAE mouse models of MS. This increase is concomitant with lymphocyte infiltration and fibrin(ogen) deposits in CNS parenchyma. By genetic invalidation of PAI-1 in mice and immunotherapy using a blocking PAI-1 antibody, we demonstrate that abolition of PAI-1 reduces the severity of EAE and occurrence of relapses in two EAE models. These benefits are correlated with a decrease in fibrin(ogen) deposits, infiltration of T4 lymphocytes, reactive astrogliosis, demyelination and axonal damage. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that a deleterious overexpression of PAI-1 by reactive astrocytes leads to intra-parenchymal dysfibrinolysis in MS models and anti-PAI-1 strategies could be a new therapeutic perspective for MS.

Abstract
Essentials Plasmin is able to proteolyse von Willebrand factor. It was unclear if plasmin influences acute thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Plasmin levels are increased during acute TTP though suppressed via plasmin(ogen) inhibitors. Allowing amplified endogenous plasmin activity in mice results in resolution of TTP signs. SUMMARY Background Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an acute life-threatening pathology, caused by occlusive von Willebrand factor (VWF)-rich microthrombi that accumulate in the absence of ADAMTS-13. We previously demonstrated that plasmin can cleave VWF and that plasmin is generated in patients during acute TTP. However, the exact role of plasmin in TTP remains unclear. Objectives Investigate if endogenous plasmin-mediated proteolysis of VWF can influence acute TTP episodes. Results In mice with an acquired ADAMTS-13 deficiency, plasmin is generated during TTP as reflected by increased plasmin-α2-antiplasmin (PAP)-complex levels. However, mice still developed TTP, suggesting that this increase is not sufficient to control the pathology. As mice with TTP also had increased plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) levels, we investigated whether blocking the plasmin(ogen) inhibitors would result in the generation of sufficient plasmin to influence TTP outcome in mice. Interestingly, when amplified plasmin activity was allowed (α2-antiplasmin-/- mice with inhibited PAI-1) in mice with an acquired ADAMTS-13 deficiency, a resolution of TTP signs was observed as a result of an increased proteolysis of VWF. In line with this, in patients with acute TTP, increased PAP-complex and PAI-1 levels were also observed. However, neither PAP-complex levels nor PAI-1 levels were related to TTP signs and outcome. Conclusions In conclusion, endogenous plasmin levels are increased during acute TTP, although limited via suppression through α2-antiplasmin and PAI-1. Only when amplified plasmin activity is allowed, plasmin can function as a back-up for ADAMTS-13 in mice and resolve TTP signs as a result of an increased proteolysis of VWF.

PAI-1 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1) Expression Renders Alternatively Activated Human Macrophages Proteolytically Quiescent. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2017; 37:1913-1922.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Macrophages are versatile immune cells capable of polarizing into functional subsets depending on environmental stimulation. In atherosclerotic lesions, proinflammatory polarized macrophages are associated with symptomatic plaques, whereas Th2 (T-helper cell type 2) cytokine-polarized macrophages are inversely related with disease progression. To establish a functional cause for these observations, we analyzed extracellular matrix degradation phenotypes in polarized macrophages. APPROACH AND RESULTS We provide evidence that proinflammatory polarized macrophages rely on membrane-bound proteases including MMP-14 (matrix metalloproteinase-14) and the serine protease uPA (urokinase plasminogen activator) together with its receptor uPAR for extracellular matrix degradation. In contrast, Th2 cytokine alternatively primed macrophages do not show different proteolytic activity in comparison to unpolarized macrophages and lack increased localization of MMP-14 and uPA receptor to the cell membrane. Nonetheless, they express the highest amount of the serine protease uPA. However, uPA activity is blocked by similarly increased expression of its inhibitor PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor 1). When inhibiting PAI-1 or when analyzing macrophages deficient in PAI-1, Th2 cytokine-polarized macrophages display the same matrix degradation capability as proinflammatory-primed macrophages. Within atherosclerotic lesions, macrophages positive for the alternative activation marker CD206 express high levels of PAI-1. In addition, to test changed tissue remodeling capacities of alternatively activated macrophages, we used a bleomycin lung injury model in mice reconstituted with PAI-1-/- bone marrow. These results supported an enhanced remodeling phenotype displayed by increased fibrosis and elevated MMP activity in the lung after PAI-1 loss. CONCLUSIONS We were able to demonstrate matrix degradation dependent on membrane-bound proteases in proinflammatory stimulated macrophages and a forced proteolytical quiescence in alternatively polarized macrophages by the expression of PAI-1.
