ABSTRACT
The role of plasminogen activators in the regulation of key processes of atherosclerosis progression stays unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), its receptor (uPAR) and the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) in human aorta, and to balance them with the stage of atherosclerotic lesion. We have shown that uPA and uPAR in normal aorta are mostly expressed by intimal smooth muscle cells. The expression of these proteins was up-regulated in diseased aorta compared to normal artery. The most part of cells in both fatty streak and fibro-fatty lesion were monocytes/macrophages, and about 60% of these cells expressed uPA and its receptor. PAI-1 was mostly localized on the lumonal part of the aorta and in the extracellular matrix of the intima. We observed a moderate increase of PAI-1 expression in atherosclerotic lesion. Thus, our data indicate participation of plasminogen system in atherogenesis.
