Clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease result principally from the progressive development of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent thrombus formation. The role of fibrin deposition in the acute thrombotic occlusion of coronary arteries that leads to myocardial infarction has been clearly established (1). Progressive incorporation of fibrin into the vessel wall could also play a role in the development of the atherosclerotic lesion (2-6). Fibrin is a consistent component of human atherosclerotic plaques (6-9) and may contribute to plaque growth by stimulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation (10) and by binding and accumulating with low density lipoprotein, especially lipoprotein (a) (11,12). Hypofibrinolysis leading to decreased removal of fibrin deposits (13) would be a prime candidate for a role in the development of atherothrombosis. Reduced plasma fibrinolytic capacity accompanying atherothrombosis has been attributed to increased levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-I ) , the primary physiological inhibitor of t -PA and urokinase . Recen t exper imenta l d a t a have shown tha t increased plasma PAI-1 levels do indeed have a prothrombotic effect. Increased PAI-1 decreases endogenous and exogenous fibrinolysis and increases the extension of thrombosis (14-16), whereas quenching of PAI-1 activity with a specific antibody induces an opposite effect (17). Transgenic mice with overexpression of the human PAI-1 gene develop thrombosis in their extremities (18). Moreover, human PAI-1 deficiency was recently reported as a cause of abnormal bleeding (19). Clinical studies suggest that increased PAI-1 expression is of pathogenic significance and when present in plasma map be considered as a biological risk factor for coronary heart disease; locally, in the atherosclerotic lesion, it could favor a thrombotic phenomenon. This review will evaluate the epidemiological and experimental evidence for a causal role of systemic or local increase in PAI-1 levels in atherothrombosis.
