PG - 87-96 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was found to induce type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) antigen in the human fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080, and PAI-1 and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) antigens in the human carcinoma cell line T-CAR1; tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen was not affected or slightly decreased. The effects in HT-1080 and T-CAR1 cells were preceded by increases in the cellular levels of the corresponding mRNAs. Cycloheximide caused an increase of PAI-1 mRNA in T-CAR1 cells, but not in HT-1080 cells; during this increase the relative abundance of the two PAI-1 mRNA species, of 2.3 kb and 3.4 kb, respectively, changed strongly in favor of the longer transcript. We conclude that TNF-alpha may affect proteolytic activity in the microenvironment of cells in malignant tumors by affecting gene expression of u-PA and PAI-1.
