Popis: After treatment with PMA the human promyelocytic HL60 cells were induced to differentiate into a monocyte-macrophage population and to produce a high amount of plasminogen activator in the supernatant. This response was detected from 0,5 ng/ml of PMA and culminated at 5 ng. The plasminogen activator appeared of urokinase-type as showed by fibrinenzymographic analysis : the enzymatic profile of cell supernatant showed 2 lysis band (Mr 33.000 and 55.000) corresponding to those of urokinase of low and high mol. weight. Dexamethasone (100 pM) suppressed the production of this macrophage u-PA without evidence of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) generation in the supernatant : free PAI was not detected in urokinase inhibition assays ; complexes of u-PA-PAI were not observed in fibrinoenzymographic studies. Supernatant of human endothelial cells added to HL60 cell supernatant neutralized the two molecular species of macrophage u-PA and gave rise to complexes (Mr 110.000 and 84.000) detected by fibrinoenzymography. These results suggested different possible levels for controlling u-PA of inflammatory macrophages including interaction with endothelial cells secretion since endothelial PAI is increased by some inflammatory monokine and also by dexamethasone, it appears that endothelium could have a regulatory role on inflammatory fibrinolysis.
