Human mesothelial cells synthesize plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) 1 in inflamed peritoneal tissue. The role of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) in the mediation of this response was studied. Postoperative peritoneal drain fluid contained both TNF and PAI-1. Peak levels of TNF at 4 h (median 271 pg/ml) preceded a rise in PAI-1 concentration, which peaked at 18 h (median 943.1 ng/ml). Thus TNF may mediate increased PAI-1 release in inflamed peritoneum. TNF significantly increased the mean(s.e.m.) release of PAI-1 by human peritoneal mesothelial cells in vitro at 4 h (control 1.84(0.17) ng/micrograms versus TNF 2.37(0.17) ng/micrograms, P < 0.05), 6 h (2.53(0.09) versus 3.88(0.46) ng/micrograms, P < 0.05), 18 h (0.50(0.02) versus 1.04(0.11) ng/micrograms, P < 0.05) and 24 h (0.87(0.05) versus 1.35(0.11) ng/micrograms, P < 0.05). TNF may be an important mediator of PAI-1 production by human mesothelial cells during peritoneal inflammation.
人腹膜间皮细胞在炎症性腹膜组织中合成纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂(PAI)1。研究了肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)在介导这种反应中的作用。术后腹腔引流液中同时含有TNF和PAI-1。TNF在4小时时达到峰值水平(中位数为271 pg/ml),随后PAI-1浓度升高,PAI-1在18小时时达到峰值(中位数为943.1 ng/ml)。因此,TNF可能介导炎症腹膜中PAI-1释放增加。在体外,TNF在4小时(对照组1.84(0.17)ng/μg,TNF组2.37(0.17)ng/μg,P<0.05)、6小时(2.53(0.09)对3.88(0.46)ng/μg,P<0.05)、18小时(0.50(0.02)对1.04(0.11)ng/μg,P<0.05)和24小时(0.87(0.05)对1.35(0.11)ng/μg,P<0.05)时显著增加人腹膜间皮细胞PAI-1的平均(标准误)释放量。TNF可能是腹膜炎症期间人腹膜间皮细胞产生PAI-1的重要介质。
