Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-thrombotic effects of an inhibitor of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in rats given endotoxin. In studies in vitro, PRAP-1, a Fab-fragment of a polyclonal antibody against human PAI-1, was shown to inhibit PAI-1 activity in rat plasma as well as to stimulate clot-lysis of the euglobulin fraction derived from rat plasma. Endotoxin administered to anaesthetised rats produced a marked increase in plasma PAI-1 activity. To study fibrin formation and lysis in vivo after intravenous (i. v.) injection of the coagulant enzyme batroxobin, 125I-fibrinogen was administered to the animals. The thrombi formed by batroxobin were rapidly lysed in control animals, while the rate of lysis was markedly attenuated in rats given endotoxin. PRAP-1 was administered i.v. (bolus + infusion) to rats given endotoxin and batroxobin and the PAI-1 inhibitor caused a dose-dependent decrease in the 125I-fibrin deposition in the lungs. An immunohistochemical technique was used to confirm this decrease in density of fibrin clots in the tissue. Furthermore, PRAP-1 decreased plasma PAI-1 activity in the rats and this reduction was correlated to the decrease in lung 125I-fibrin deposition at the corresponding time point. It is concluded that in this experimental model the PAI-1 antibody PRAP-1 may indeed inhibit thrombosis in animals exposed to endotoxin.
