The tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) genes are differentially regulated by 12-phorbol 13-myristate acetate (PMA) in HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) mRNA and antigen levels are synergistically induced in HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells when treated with a combination of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA).
We have examined the interaction between the plasminogen activator (PA)-plasmin system and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells treated with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA).
Gene transcription rates and mRNA levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) are markedly induced by the tumor promoting agent phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells.
Human rTNF/Cachectin was shown to stimulate gene transcription of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PA1)-1 and PAI-2, and simultaneously suppress constitutive gene expression of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in human fibrosarcoma cells.
Constitutive gene expression of four components of plasminogen activating enzyme system, urinary and tissue-type plasminogen activator (u-PA and t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and PAI-2 in HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells, was modulated by the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex, 10(-7) M).
