Summary

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) have been reported to prevent the recurrence of cardiovascular events. The mechanism of this decrease, however, can not be completely explained by anti-hypertensive and anti-hypertrophic effects of ACE-I. To investigate the mechanism of this decrease, we studied the regulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue type plasminogen activator (TPA), tissue factor (TF), and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) by angiotensin II (Ang II) in cultured rat aortic endothelial cells. Ang II increased PAI-1 and TF mRNA expression without affecting that of TPA or TFPI. These inductions were accompanied by increases in PAI-1 and TF activities and were inhibited by a type 1 Ang II receptor antagonist. The results suggest that Ang II decreases the antithrombotic properties of endothelial cells which increases the chance of thrombosis. Thus, inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system may be beneficial to prevent thrombus formation in treatment of ischemic heart disease.
