In order to determine the mechanism by which parathyroid hormone ( PTH ) stimulates plasminogen activator ( PA ) activity in rat osteoblasts , we investigated the effect of human PTH ( 1 34 ) [ hPTH ( 1 34 ) ] on the synthesis of mRNAs for tissue type PA ( tPA ) , urokinase type PA ( uPA ) , and PA inhibitor 1 ( PAI 1 ) , and on release of PA activity and PAI 1 protein in both normal rat calvarial osteoblasts and UMR 106 01 osteogenic sarcoma cells . hPTH ( 1 34 ) ( 0 . 25 25 nM ) decreased PAI 1 mRNA and protein , and increased PA activity in both cell types in a dose dependent manner with ED 50 of about 1 nM for both responses . ^^^ Forskolin and isobutylmethylxanthine also stimulated PA activity and decreased PAI 1 protein and mRNA in both cell types . hPTH ( 1 34 ) did not show any consistent effect on tPA and uPA mRNA in calvarial osteoblasts , but a modest ( two fold ) increase of both mRNAs was observed in UMR 106 01 cells treated with 25 nM hPTH ( 1 34 ) . ^^^ However , when protein synthesis was inhibited with 100 microM cycloheximide , the increase of tPA and uPA mRNA by hPTH ( 1 34 ) was enhanced in UMR 106 01 cells and became evident in calvarial osteoblasts . ^^^ Fibrin autography also revealed that hPTH ( 1 34 ) increases tPA and uPA activity , especially after cycloheximide treatment in UMR 106 01 cells . ^^^ The reduction of PAI 1 protein by PTH results in enhanced action of both tPA and uPA , and would contribute to the specific roles of these PAs in bone . . ^^^

The current studies were performed to localize PA species and identify them as tissue type PA ( tPA ) or urokinase like PA ( uPA ) as the two have distinct regulatory properties potentially related to the mechanisms of defect formation and ulceration . ^^^ To determine the locations and types of PA species , antibodies to tPA or to uPA or the drug amiloride ( a drug that inhibits uPA but not tPA ) were incorporated into fibrin / fibronectin ( Fn ) clots overlying frozen sections to block regional fibrinolysis . ^^^ PA activity was also associated with the leading edges of migrating epithelium post scrape and post burn and was not inhibited by antibodies to either tPA or uPA but was inhibited by amiloride . ^^^ The observation that leading edge activity post burn , in correlation with the formation of secondary defects , continues to be inhibitable by amiloride but not by antibodies to tPA suggests that uPA remains abnormally on the leading edge , and that sustained uPA activity in that location results in inappropriate degradation of subepithelial fibrin / Fn to result in a defect . ^^^

Two molecular variants of plasminogen activator ( PA ) : urokinase ( uPA ) and tissue type plasminogen activator ( tPA ) , have been reported to be synthesized in the rat testis . ^^^ Data obtained in this study using monospecific antibodies raised against uPA and tPA in immunoblotting and bioimmunoassay protocols consistently demonstrate that only tPA ( and not uPA ) is synthesized by bovine Sertoli cell enriched cultures , and is induced by bovine FSH . ^^^ A proteolytic band ( 43 kDa ) , which was also secreted by FSH stimulated cells , was not present when protection was afforded from auto proteolysis by aprotinin , and was therefore concluded to be a proteolytic fragment of tPA , and not uPA . . ^^^

The circulatory regulation of TPA and UPA secretion , clearance , and inhibition during exercise and during the infusion of isoproterenol and phenylephrine . ^^^ METHODS AND RESULTS : Experimental measurements of cardiac output , heart rate , tissue plasminogen activator ( TPA ) , urokinase plasminogen activator ( UPA ) , plasminogen activator inhibitor ( PAI 1 ) , C 1 inhibitor , and TPA / C1 inhibitor complex during the infusions and exercise were used to develop a comprehensive fluid phase model of the circulatory regulation of fibrinolysis . alpha and beta adrenergic agonists increased TPA and UPA in plasma by different mechanisms : Phenylephrine decreased hepatic blood flow and thus clearance while isoproterenol stimulated increased secretion of TPA and UPA . ^^^ Exercise to exhaustion increased TPA and UPA through a combination of increased secretion and decreased clearance . ^^^ The time course of UPA and TPA release were similar , but the magnitude of their secretion responses differed . ^^^

Studies carried out over the past 10 years in a number of laboratories have elucidated some of the biochemical events related to the function and regulation of the PA system in the ovary : hormone induced proteolytic activity provided by tissue type PA ( tPA ) and modulated by PAI 1 in the preovulatory follicles is responsible for a controlled and directed proteolysis leading to rupture of selected follicles during ovulation , whereas the coordinated expression of urokinase type PA ( uPA ) and PAI 1 in the early growing follicle may be important in ECM degradation during cell proliferation and migration ; the PA system may also play a role in the control of corpus luteum ( CL ) development through an autocrine or paracrine mechanism . ^^^ Increase in tPA and PAI 1 expression in CL at a later stage is well correlated with a sharp decrease in CL progesterone production , while the increase in uPA mRNA levels and activity in the early stage of CL development is correlated with an increase in progesterone secretion . . ^^^

The hormonal regulation of two plasminogen activators , tissue type plasminogen activator ( t PA ) and urokinase ( u PA ) , was studied both in 7 , 12 dimethylbenz [ a ] anthracene ( DMBA ) induced rat mammary carcinoma and in DMBA induced rat mammary dysplasia . t PA activity in DMBA mammary carcinoma was decreased markedly by oophorectomy and recovered upon estradiol administration to reach the maximum level at 12 hr . ^^^ Taken together , these results suggest that estrogen stimulates the production of t PA but not u PA and that this estrogen dependency of t PA is limited to malignant DMBA mammary tumor cells . . ^^^

We have previously shown that alpha thrombin exerted a mitogenic effect on human glomerular epithelial cells and stimulated the synthesis of urokinase type ( u PA ) and tissue type plasminogen activator ( t PA ) and of their inhibitor , plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 ( PAI 1 ) . ^^^ Conversely , nicardipine did not modify thrombin stimulated synthesis of u PA , t PA , and PAI 1 . ^^^ Simultaneous addition of these two thrombin derivatives had no effect on [ Ca2+ ] 1 , and 3H thymidine incorporation but stimulated u PA , t PA , and PAI 1 synthesis although to a lesser extent than alpha thrombin . ^^^ In conclusion , multiple signalling pathways can be activated by alpha thrombin in glomerular epithelial cells : 1 ) Ca2+ influx through a dihydroperidine sensitive calcium channel , which seems critical for mitogenesis ; 2 ) protein kinase C activation by phosphoinositide breakdown , which stimulates both mitogenesis and synthesis of u PA , t PA , and PAI 1 ; 3 ) protein kinase C activation by other phospholipid breakdown can stimulate u PA , t PA , and PAI 1 synthesis but not mitogenesis . . ^^^
