Resumen
We assessed whether the -844 G/A polymorphism and mRNA expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) gene are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Demographic data, hematological, biochemical parameters, disease activity-disability indexes, -844 G/A genotypes and mRNA expression levels of the PAI-1 gene were determined in 50 RA patients and 50 healthy subjects (HS). Non-significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies related to -844 G/A polymorphism in RA versus HS, were found. High mRNA expression of the PAI-1 gene, was demonstrated in RA versus HS (P < 0.05). In addition, A/A genotype carriers showed increase of PAI-1 mRNA expression (3.1-fold) respect to G/G and G/A genotypes in RA patients (P < 0.05). Our finding suggest an association of A/A -844 PAI-1 genotype with high PAI-1 mRNA expression in RA patients.

Lakshman, M.R.",,"2013",,"Background: Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-?1) is a pleiotropic cytokine that activates hepatic stellate cell (HSC) proliferation, but inhibits parenchymal cell proliferation. Therefore, we hypothesize that TGF-?1 regulates HSC proliferation and elucidated its molecular action. Methods: In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism whereby TGF-?1 up-regulates platelet derived growth factor beta (PDGF-?) receptor mRNA and induces a delayed proliferation of HSC, we used proliferation and apoptosis assays as well as RT-PCR, Western blot analysis, immunostaining, and flow cytometry in mouse and rat HSC. Results: We show that TGF-?1 markedly induces the proliferation of mouse HSC in culture with concomitant 2.1-fold (p < 0.001) stimulation in [3H]-thymidine incorporation into cellular DNA. This induction is maximal between 24 and 36 hours postcytokine exposure that is triggered by 7.6-fold (p < 0.001) up-regulation of PDGF-? receptor mRNA and associated increase in PDGF-? receptor protein after 48 hours. TGF-?1-dependent HSC proliferation is mimicked by H2O2 that is inhibited by catalase, implying that TGF-?1 action is mediated via reactive oxygen species. HSC proliferation is blunted by PDGF-? receptor-neutralizing antibody as well as by specific inhibitors of PI3 kinase (PI3K), AKT, and p70S6K, indicating that the action of TGF-?1 involves the activation of PDGF-? receptor via the PI3K/AKT/p70S6K signaling pathway. TGF-?1 also induces a reorganization of actin and myosin filaments and cell morphology leading to the formation of palisades although their myosin and actin contents remained constant. These findings suggest that TGF-?1-mediated oxidative stress causes the transdifferentiation of HSC and primes them for extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and scar contraction. Conclusions: We conclude that liver injury up-regulates TGF-?1 that inhibits parenchymal cell proliferation, but stimulates HSC proliferation leading to the production of ECM and type I collagen resulting in fibrosis.
