PG - 129-36 AB - Tissue Factor (TF), the receptor for plasma VII/VIIa and the initiator of blood coagulation, is inducible in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) by growth factors and bacterial lysopolysaccharides (LPS) and is expressed in vivo after vascular injury. As TF expression is a determinant of the thrombogenicity of vascular lesions, we investigated the signal pathways involved in this process. Human vascular SMCs were obtained from normal arteries and made quiescent by serum deprivation. Baseline TF antigen and activity were up-regulated by various agonists: fetal calf serum (FCS), LPS, and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) being the most effective but with different kinetics. TF expression induced by LPS was transient with a maximum 6 h after stimulation and returned to baseline levels after 24 h whereas TF expression induced by serum or PDGF was sustained for at least 24 h. Rapid and transient activation of Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) was observed after stimulation by PDGF and FCS, but not by LPS. The role of ERK, Ras and protein kinase C activities were investigated using specific inhibitors, PD 98059, manumycin A and calphostin C respectively. For TF induction by LPS, PKC activity was required and the ERK/Ras pathway was not involved. In contrast, the effect of PDGF was strictly ERK and Ras dependent, but partially prevented by PKC inhibitors. TF induction by FCS was ERK dependent but partially Ras and PKC dependent. In conclusion, TF expression appears to be a non-specific response of SMCs to numerous stimuli through multiple signal pathways which differ according to the inducing agent.
