Abstract

We have studied the mechanism of a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-stimulated production of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in WI-38 human lung fibroblasts. TGF-beta causes an early increase in the PAI-1 mRNA level which reaches a maximal 50-fold enhancement after 8 h. Blocking of protein synthesis with cycloheximide causes an equally strong increase in the level of PAI-1 mRNA. Quantitative studies of the effect of TGF-beta on PAI-1 protein levels in cell extracts and culture media by using monoclonal antibodies are consistent with the effect on PAI-1 mRNA. The results suggest a primary effect of TGF-beta on PAI-1 gene transcription, and also suggest the possibility that the transcription of this gene in non-induced cells may be suppressed by a short-lived negatively regulating protein. Urokinase-type (u-PA) and tissue-type (t-PA) plasminogen activators are decreased in the culture media of TGF-beta-treated cells concomitantly with the increase in PAI-1 accumulation. These findings show that a primary and important biological effect of TGF-beta may be an overall decreased extracellular proteolytic activity, and give an insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying TGF-beta action at the genetic level.
