This large variability is partly due to the marked diurnal variation in PAI-1, with lower values in the afternoon than in the morning. This latter correlation may seem confusing, since the increase in the total amount of t-PA results in a decrease of t-PA activity. Several studies have observed a fibrinolytic deficiency in subjects with idiopathic or recurrent deep venous thrombosis DVT.
About one third of these subjects exhibited impaired fibrinolytic activity, either due to a poor release of t-PA after venous occlusion, or due to increased PAI-1 levels. In two prospective studies carried out on postoperative DVT in subjects subjected to hip replacement, preoperative values of increased PAI-1 appeared to be predictive of postoperative venous occlusion. Studies regarding a reduced t-PA activity and elevated PAI-1 levels as a risk factor for thromboembolic disease remain to be further evaluated.
Elevations of t-PA antigen have been linked to persons at risk in several studies involving cardiovascular events in subjects with angina pectoris and coronary artery stenosis, myocardial infarction MI , and stroke.
Furthermore, a strong support for the link between PAI-1 elevation and risk of having a MI was obtained from a study of men who had survived a first MI before the age of 45 years. Reduced t-PA activity has been reported as predictive for MI, for MI in subjects with angina pectoris, and in ischaemic disease in younger men. The results from these studies put together suggest that a state of elevated t-PA and PAI-1 antigen and reduced activity is the condition associated with cardiovascular disease.
The production of t-PA and u-PA by leukemic cells can be used to predict the prognosis and response to chemotherapy in subjects with acute myeloid leukemia. Subjects whose cells produce only t-PA have a lower chance of survival and fail to respond to chemotherapy. In contrast, subjects with u-PA producing cancer cells have a higher chance of survival and a better response to chemotherapy.
Cardiovascular diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and venous thromboembolism, are probably the major cause of death and disability in an adult population. The immediate underlying etiology in these conditions is often a thrombotic obstruction of critically situated blood vessels, causing a loss of blood flow to vital organs.
One approach to the treatment of thrombosis consists of the intravenous infusion of plasminogen activators as clot-dissolving drugs. The use of thrombolytic agents may occasionally require close monitoring of the components of the plasminogen activation system.
Excessive thrombolytic activity is likely to cause bleeding, particulary cerebral hemorrhage, as a side-effect.
An intriguing feature of the fibrinolytic system is the circadian variation in t-PA and PAI-1 that has been observed. Free t-PA levels are lowest in the morning, increase during the day and reach their peak activity level in the late afternoon. It has been suggested that the high incidence of myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis in the morning hours, may be connected to the circadian rhythm of fibrinolytic activity.
From mortality statistics in Greenland it is known that Eskimos have a low prevalence of myocardial infarction. This has been related to their diet, although it may also be due to the observation that Eskimos have a rapid increase in t-PA activity in the morning and a more rapid decrease in PAI-1 activity and antigen compared to Caucasians.
Because of the diurnal variation in fibrinolytic activity, sampling should always take place at the same time during the day usually between 8 a. Different stimuli, drugs, and environmental factors have been reported to modulate the fibrinolytic activity in the experimental animal as well as in humans. Examples of these are listed below in alphabetical order. Most reports on alcohol and fibrinolysis show an increase in plasma PAI-1 levels following alcohol consumption that causes an acute decrease in t-PA activity.
In a recent study of moderate alcohol consumption in a group of healthy men, it was observed that t-PA activity falls sharply after alcohol intake for the first 5 hours, although it then rises and becomes significantly higher after 13 hours. Stanozolol produces profound change in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems after prolonged oral administration. Peak t-PA concentrations are seen after 40 to 60 minutes of administration. A rise in the fibrinolytic activity after exercise has been reported by many authors and attributed mainly to the acute release of t-PA from the vascular endothelium.
The increase in t-PA activity is related to both the intensity and the duration of exercise and may reach 30 times the normal after a Marathon race. When comparing physically active and inactive men, it was found that t-PA activity increases more in active men and that they have a lower PAI-1 activity.
A diet rich in high-complex carbohydrates and low in fat has been reported to lower both t-PA and PAI-1 antigen. The net effect was an enhancement of fibrinolytic potential, due to the greater fall in PAI However, it can be dangerous and not everyone is a safe candidate for TPA. Also, if the narrow window of time to safely use TPA has elapsed by the time you reach the hospital, you cannot receive intravenous TPA treatment.
