  • urokinase receptor expression on human microvascular endothelial cells is increased by hypoxia implications for capillary like tube formation in a fibrin matrix
    Blood, 2000
    Co-Authors: Marielle E Kroon, Bea Van Der Vecht, Pieter Koolwijk, Victor W M Van Hinsbergh
    Abstract:

    Hypoxia stimulates angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This study evaluates the direct effect of hypoxia (1% oxygen) on the angiogenic response of human microvascular endothelial cells (hMVECs) seeded on top of a 3-dimensional fibrin matrix, hMVECs stimulated with fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) together with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) formed 2- to 3-fold more tubular structures under hypoxic conditions than in normoxic (20% oxygen) conditions. In both conditions the in-growth of capillary-like tubular structures into fibrin required cell-bound urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasmin activities. The hypoxia-induced increase in tube formation was accompanied by a decrease in uPA accumulation in the conditioned medium. This decrease in uPA level was completely abolished by uPA receptor-blocking antibodies. During hypoxic culturing uPA receptor activity and messenger RNA (mRNA) were indeed increased. This increase and, as a consequence, an increase in plasmin formation contribute to the hypoxia-induced stimulation of tube formation. A possible contribution of VEGF-A to the increased formation under hypoxic conditions is unlikely because there was no increased VEGF-A expression detected under hypoxic conditions, and the hypoxia-induced tube formation by FGF-2 and TNF-α was not inhibited by soluble VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1), or by antibodies blocking VEGFR-2. Furthermore, although the α(v)-integrin subunit was enhanced by hypoxia, blocking antibodies against α(v)β3 and α(v)β5-integrins had no effect on hypoxia-induced tube formation. Hypoxia increases uPA association and the angiogenic response of human endothelial cells in a fibrin matrix; the increase in the uPA receptor is an important determinant in this process.

  • Regulation of endothelial cell t-PA synthesis and release.
    International journal of hematology, 1994
    Co-Authors: Teake Kooistra, Y. Schrauwen, Janine Arts, J.j. Emeis
    Abstract:

    The fibrinolytic activity of blood is to a large extent determined by the plasma level of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Changes in the plasma level of t-PA are mainly achieved by the endothelium by two mechanisms: (a) a rapid, short-term release of t-PA, which occurs within minutes (acute release, regulated secretion) and (b) a long-term change in the rate of synthesis and constitutive secretion of t-PA. The rapid t-PA release response of the endothelium upon stimulation may play an important role in the dissolution of fibrin at the initial event of fibrin formation, and hence in the prevention of thrombus formation. The rate of constitutive t-PA secretion is an important determinant of the actual levels of t-PA under basal and stimulated conditions. Our insight into the regulation of the synthesis and release of t-PA has extended markedly in the last decade and still adapts by the continuous stream of new experimental data. In this review we summarize our present knowledge about the factors, including intracellular signalling pathways, promoter elements and transcription factors involved in the modulation of t-PA gene expression, with particular reference to the regulation in human endothelial cells. We also discuss the mechanisms underlying acute release of t-PA from the endothelium, and provide evidence that the regulated and constitutive secretion of t-PA are interrelated in several aspects.
