Mechanism of heparin action.
Jackson CM.
Abstract
Heparin catalysis of clotting proteinase inactivation occurs most
efficiently through the reaction of the proteinase with the
antithrombin-heparin complex. The efficiency of a heparin molecule in
this reaction depends on the presence of a specific pentasaccharide
sequence in it, and its molecular weight. The mechanism by which such
high affinity heparin acts when antithrombin III is the inhibitor is
promotion of the formation of an intermediate
proteinase-heparin-antithrombin complex. Heparin promotion of thrombin
inactivation by heparin cofactor II may occur by a similar mechanism.
The requirement for a specific oligosaccharide sequence within the
heparin molecule does not, however, exist for heparin cofactor II.
Binding of heparin to both thrombin and antithrombin III interferes with

And TPa
The biology of tPA in the fibrinolytic system
Blood clots are formed from the aggregation of activated platelets onto
fibrin meshes. The breakdown of the fibrin meshes is achieved by
plasmin, a broad spectrum protease found in the blood as an inactive
zymogen, plasminogen. Plasmin cleaves fibrin thus breaking down the
meshwork of the clot, and it is extremely short lived; it is quickly
inactivated by =CE=B12-antiplasmin, an abundant inhibitor that restricts th=
e
action of plasmin to the vicinity of the clot (reviewed in [2] and [3]).
>
Successful fibrinolysis is achieved by adequate generation of plasmin
from plasminogen by one of two Plasminogen Activators (PAs), the
tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (tPA) and the urokinase-type
Plasminogen Activator (uPA). The two are thought to have redundant
functions in the fibrinolytic system, since genetic deletion of either
one is not accompanied by major fibrinolytic defects, and only tPA/uPA
doubly deficient mice display phenotypes similar to plasminogen
deficient ones [4, 5]. As opposed to uPA, the activity of tPA is itself
regulated by binding to fibrin, which increases its catalytic efficiency

[6, 7]. Thus, the formation of the clot initiates, with the generation

protein inhibitor(s), primarily the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1
(PAI 1) [8]. The inactive PAI 1-bound tPA is cleared from the
circulation by the liver via a scavenger receptor, the LDL Receptor
Related Protein 1 (LRP1) [9]. LRP1 also binds catalytically active tPA,
but with lower affinity [10]. A neuronal-specific inhibitor of tPA,
neuroserpin, is the primary modifier of tPA activity in the nervous
system [11, 12]. Inhibited tPA-neuroserpin complexes are internalized by

bloodstream is rather short, 5-10 minutes in humans, as a result of
PAI-1-mediated inhibition and LRP1-mediated liver uptake [14].
Carbohydrate side chains added to the backbone of tPA protein also play
important roles in the clearance of tPA from the bloodstream and forms
of tPA with longer half lives have been generated by mutating the
glycosylation sites of tPA (reviewed in [15]).
tPA is a secreted serine protease consisting of a single polypeptide
chain with 3 or 4 glycosylation sites and numerous disulfide bonds in
its secondary structure [16, 17]. The action of plasmin cleaves tPA into

an N-terminal light chain and a C-terminal heavy chain still held
together by disulfide bonds [18]. Two-chain tPA has higher catalytic
efficiency compared to the single chain form and is essentially
constitutively fully active, contrary to the single chain form which
only becomes fully active upon binding to fibrin [19]. The catalytic
domain of tPA lies towards its C-terminal end and comprises the light
chain of the protease [20, 21]. The protein also contains the following
domains: an N-terminal fibronectin type III finger domain, an epidermal
growth factor-like domain and two kringle domains [16, 22]. Plasminogen
binds to the second tPA kringle domain and fibrin binds to the finger
domain and the second kringle domain. Finally, inhibition by PAI 1 is
achieved by covalent binding of PAI 1 to the catalytic domain and the
formation of a complex [21]. The presence of the additional domains
beyond the catalytic one not only allows for regulation of the catalytic

tPA as a thrombolytic in stroke
The use of tPA in ischemic stroke has been the subject of numerous
recent reviews, so that only key concepts are being mentioned here and
the interested reader is referred to such reviews for more information
[23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28].
Recombinant human tPA produced in mammalian cell lines was introduced as
>
a thrombolytic agent in selected cases of stroke following the results
of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS)
study in 1995 [29]. This study consisted of two independently powered
trials that both showed clinical benefit from the use of tPA. A European
>
study conducted around the same time also showed clinical improvement,
albeit more modest, and the use of tPA was not recommended, for fear
that eligible patients could not be easily identified [30]. A second
European and Australian study showed no benefit from tPA [31], a fact
which delayed the use of the protease in Europe until 2002 when a
license was granted, provided that an observational safety study was
conducted to assess the safety profile of tPA in routine clinical
practice. The results of this study were recently published and
confirmed the positive effect of tPA [32], thus further relieving
reservations concerning its use as a thrombolytic in stroke. However,
tPA is still used only in a small number of ischemic stroke cases (3-8%,
>
[33]), but this percentage greatly increases in specialized stroke
centers [28].
The rationale behind the use of tPA in ischemic stroke is that by
breaking down the clot, recanalization of the occluded blood vessel
occurs. The restoration of blood vessel patency is meaningful, however,
only if the brain tissue of the ischemic area is still viable.
Unfortunately, brain tissue is metabolically very active and thus very
sensitive to ischemia. The core of the area serviced by the occluded
vessel becomes necrotic very quickly, whereas the periphery, which
receives some perfusion by adjacent non-ischemic regions, is still
salvageable within a reasonable time frame of a few hours, and is
referred to as the penumbra. Thrombolysis by tPA resulting in successful
>
recanalization potentially saves this ischemic but still viable
penumbra, but it has to be administered quickly. The positive effect of
tPA was clearly demonstrated in the two trials of the NINDS study [29],
in which the cut-off time from symptoms onset to initiation of
thrombolysis was set at three hours. The effect was more moderate in the

ECASS study (30), where treatment was initiated within 6h from stroke
onset, but clearer in the subgroup of ECASS patients treated within the
first three hours [34]. Along the same lines tPA showed moderate benefit

upon administration between 3 and 5 hours from stroke onset [35]. To
date the initial recommendation remains that tPA should be administered
within three hours from stroke onset [29, 36, 32]. This is a narrow time

window since the patient needs to be transferred to the health care
unit, and at minimum a CT scan has to be performed, primarily to exclude

the possibility of hemorrhage and to assess the size of the infarction.
Since potentially positive effects have also been reported with
administration of tPA between 3 and 5 hours from stroke onset [35, 36],
clinical trials are under way to further extend the time window for tPA
thrombolysis [37, 38].
Time is not the only parameter to be taken into account in the decision
to initiate tPA thrombolysis; novel imaging technologies may aid in the
identification of thrombolysis candidates at late time points.
Diffusion-weighted and perfusion-weighted MRIs are being employed to
identify patients with large diffusion-perfusion mismatches [39, 40],
i.e. patients with significant brain areas that still receive some
oxygen and nutrients from adjacent non-ischemic areas by diffusion,
although they do not receive any blood flow directly. These patients are

predicted to benefit the most from recanalization which would restore
blood flow to viable, salvageable tissue even after a relatively long
time from stroke onset [40]. Perfusion CTs (PCT) and CT angiography
source image (CTA-SI) analysis are CT modalities that could substitute
for MRIs in cases where an MRI is contraindicated or not available [41].

has not yet been unequivocally proven. The results of the DEFUSE study
[40, 42] are expected to shed light on this issue.
The need for strict criteria and time-consuming diagnostic procedures
prior to the administration of tPA results from the adverse side-effects

of tPA, most notably that of intracerebral hemorrhagic conversion [43],
even though such conversion occurs only in 6-7% of patients. This is
considered a result of systemic plasminemia/fibrinolytic activation,
i.e. the tipping of the coagulation/fibrinolysis balance towards the
latter side in the systemic circulation which is thought to disrupt
microscopic plugs that physiologically prevent hemorrhages at
transiently injured spots on vessel walls [43, 44]. Although this lytic
state can manifest itself as hemorrhage in different organs,
intracranial hemorrhage is the most dramatic manifestation and can
complicate thrombolysis taking place in the body, such as during
myocardial infarction where brain vasculature is otherwise healthy,
although not necessarily. However, it is much more common in ischemic
stroke, because brain vasculature and the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) are
already compromised from the ischemia. In general, the greater the
severity of the ischemia and the longer the time from stroke onset, the
higher the likelihood of hemorrhage ensuing when recanalization of the
occluded vessel occurs in the course of thrombolysis [30]. Moreover, tPA

BBB, as suggested by animal studies discussed below although evidence
from human trials is lacking.
One important issue in the use of tPA in stroke thrombolysis is whether
efficient and permanent recanalization of the occluded vessel occurs.
This may be the case with as little as 10% to 25% of cases [45], as tPA
only works on the surface of the clot. Therefore larger size clots would
>
take a long time to break down. Moreover, tPA is rapidly removed from
the systemic circulation and its thrombolytic effect is quickly lost
after termination of its IV infusion. This short half-life results in
inability to act on subsequent and continued vessel occlusions that
occur both in bigger and smaller blood vessels. Attempts at increasing
the dose are hampered by increased incidence of hemorrhagic
complications and a potential solution would be to alter the tPA
protein, so that favorable properties (such as fibrin specificity) are
maintained or enhanced and undesirable ones (such as short half life)
are modified or abolished. Mutant forms of tPA exhibiting longer half
lives and increased fibrin specificity have been generated and their
specific mutations and properties have recently been reviewed elsewhere
[15]. Although these tPA mutants have been evaluated as thrombolytics
for myocardial infarctions, their use for ischemic stroke is still under
>
investigation [46, 47, 48, 49]. Another solution would be to locally
deliver tPA via an arterial catheter in the vicinity of the clot (an
approach that seems to extend the therapeutic window) rather than
intravenously, so that higher local concentrations and hence higher
fibrinolytic efficiency are achieved. Unfortunately, it appears that
systemic plasminemia and the risk of intracranial hemorrhage are not
avoided this way [50]. This method of intra-arterial tPA administration
has been used in combination with the intravenous infusion and is
referred to as bridging therapy [45, 51]. Its disadvantages are that it
can only be used in large artery occlusions, and that it is more
interventional, thus requiring more specialized personnel and equipment
for its successful implementation. The appearance of specialized stroke
units circumvents this problem, although the cost remains considerable.

Mechanism of heparin action.
Jackson CM.
Abstract
Heparin catalysis of clotting proteinase inactivation occurs most
efficiently through the reaction of the proteinase with the
antithrombin-heparin complex. The efficiency of a heparin molecule in
this reaction depends on the presence of a specific pentasaccharide
sequence in it, and its molecular weight. The mechanism by which such
high affinity heparin acts when antithrombin III is the inhibitor is
promotion of the formation of an intermediate
proteinase-heparin-antithrombin complex. Heparin promotion of thrombin
inactivation by heparin cofactor II may occur by a similar mechanism.
The requirement for a specific oligosaccharide sequence within the
heparin molecule does not, however, exist for heparin cofactor II.
Binding of heparin to both thrombin and antithrombin III interferes with
thrombin inactivation. This binding is very dependent on the ionic
strength of the reaction mixture and may explain some of the discordant
results and interpretations from early studies on the mechanism of
heparin action. Low ionic strength in in vitro reactions also results in
cleavage of antithrombin III by thrombin in the presence of heparin and
effectively converts antithrombin III from an inhibitor to a substrate.
And TPa
The biology of tPA in the fibrinolytic system
Blood clots are formed from the aggregation of activated platelets onto
fibrin meshes. The breakdown of the fibrin meshes is achieved by
plasmin, a broad spectrum protease found in the blood as an inactive
zymogen, plasminogen. Plasmin cleaves fibrin thus breaking down the
meshwork of the clot, and it is extremely short lived; it is quickly
inactivated by =CE=B12-antiplasmin, an abundant inhibitor that restricts th=
e
action of plasmin to the vicinity of the clot (reviewed in [2] and [3]).
Successful fibrinolysis is achieved by adequate generation of plasmin
from plasminogen by one of two Plasminogen Activators (PAs), the
tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (tPA) and the urokinase-type
Plasminogen Activator (uPA). The two are thought to have redundant
functions in the fibrinolytic system, since genetic deletion of either
one is not accompanied by major fibrinolytic defects, and only tPA/uPA
doubly deficient mice display phenotypes similar to plasminogen
deficient ones [4, 5]. As opposed to uPA, the activity of tPA is itself
regulated by binding to fibrin, which increases its catalytic efficiency
[6, 7]. Thus, the formation of the clot initiates, with the generation
of fibrin, the fibrinolytic/ clot dissolving cascade. The catalytic
activity of tPA in the bloodstream is terminated with the binding of (a)
protein inhibitor(s), primarily the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1
(PAI 1) [8]. The inactive PAI 1-bound tPA is cleared from the
circulation by the liver via a scavenger receptor, the LDL Receptor
Related Protein 1 (LRP1) [9]. LRP1 also binds catalytically active tPA,
but with lower affinity [10]. A neuronal-specific inhibitor of tPA,
neuroserpin, is the primary modifier of tPA activity in the nervous
system [11, 12]. Inhibited tPA-neuroserpin complexes are internalized by
LRP1, similarly to tPA-PAI 1 complexes [13]. The half-life of tPA in the
bloodstream is rather short, 5-10 minutes in humans, as a result of
PAI-1-mediated inhibition and LRP1-mediated liver uptake [14].
Carbohydrate side chains added to the backbone of tPA protein also play
important roles in the clearance of tPA from the bloodstream and forms
of tPA with longer half lives have been generated by mutating the
glycosylation sites of tPA (reviewed in [15]).
tPA is a secreted serine protease consisting of a single polypeptide
chain with 3 or 4 glycosylation sites and numerous disulfide bonds in
its secondary structure [16, 17]. The action of plasmin cleaves tPA into
an N-terminal light chain and a C-terminal heavy chain still held
together by disulfide bonds [18]. Two-chain tPA has higher catalytic
efficiency compared to the single chain form and is essentially
constitutively fully active, contrary to the single chain form which
only becomes fully active upon binding to fibrin [19]. The catalytic
domain of tPA lies towards its C-terminal end and comprises the light
chain of the protease [20, 21]. The protein also contains the following
domains: an N-terminal fibronectin type III finger domain, an epidermal
growth factor-like domain and two kringle domains [16, 22]. Plasminogen
binds to the second tPA kringle domain and fibrin binds to the finger
domain and the second kringle domain. Finally, inhibition by PAI 1 is
achieved by covalent binding of PAI 1 to the catalytic domain and the
formation of a complex [21]. The presence of the additional domains
beyond the catalytic one not only allows for regulation of the catalytic
function, but also suggests hitherto unknown interactions and
potentially functions. Indeed, both fibronectin finger and growth factor
domains are known modalities involved in protein-protein interactions.
Go to:
tPA as a thrombolytic in stroke
The use of tPA in ischemic stroke has been the subject of numerous
recent reviews, so that only key concepts are being mentioned here and
the interested reader is referred to such reviews for more information
[23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28].
Recombinant human tPA produced in mammalian cell lines was introduced as
a thrombolytic agent in selected cases of stroke following the results
of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS)
study in 1995 [29]. This study consisted of two independently powered
trials that both showed clinical benefit from the use of tPA. A European
study conducted around the same time also showed clinical improvement,
albeit more modest, and the use of tPA was not recommended, for fear
that eligible patients could not be easily identified [30]. A second
European and Australian study showed no benefit from tPA [31], a fact
which delayed the use of the protease in Europe until 2002 when a
license was granted, provided that an observational safety study was
conducted to assess the safety profile of tPA in routine clinical
practice. The results of this study were recently published and
confirmed the positive effect of tPA [32], thus further relieving
reservations concerning its use as a thrombolytic in stroke. However,
tPA is still used only in a small number of ischemic stroke cases (3-8%,
[33]), but this percentage greatly increases in specialized stroke
centers [28].
The rationale behind the use of tPA in ischemic stroke is that by
breaking down the clot, recanalization of the occluded blood vessel
occurs. The restoration of blood vessel patency is meaningful, however,
only if the brain tissue of the ischemic area is still viable.
Unfortunately, brain tissue is metabolically very active and thus very
sensitive to ischemia. The core of the area serviced by the occluded
vessel becomes necrotic very quickly, whereas the periphery, which
receives some perfusion by adjacent non-ischemic regions, is still
salvageable within a reasonable time frame of a few hours, and is
referred to as the penumbra. Thrombolysis by tPA resulting in successful
recanalization potentially saves this ischemic but still viable
penumbra, but it has to be administered quickly. The positive effect of
tPA was clearly demonstrated in the two trials of the NINDS study [29],
in which the cut-off time from symptoms onset to initiation of
thrombolysis was set at three hours. The effect was more moderate in the
ECASS study (30), where treatment was initiated within 6h from stroke
onset, but clearer in the subgroup of ECASS patients treated within the
first three hours [34]. Along the same lines tPA showed moderate benefit
upon administration between 3 and 5 hours from stroke onset [35]. To
date the initial recommendation remains that tPA should be administered
within three hours from stroke onset [29, 36, 32]. This is a narrow time
window since the patient needs to be transferred to the health care
unit, and at minimum a CT scan has to be performed, primarily to exclude
the possibility of hemorrhage and to assess the size of the infarction.
Since potentially positive effects have also been reported with
administration of tPA between 3 and 5 hours from stroke onset [35, 36],
clinical trials are under way to further extend the time window for tPA
thrombolysis [37, 38].
Time is not the only parameter to be taken into account in the decision
to initiate tPA thrombolysis; novel imaging technologies may aid in the
identification of thrombolysis candidates at late time points.
Diffusion-weighted and perfusion-weighted MRIs are being employed to
identify patients with large diffusion-perfusion mismatches [39, 40],
i.e. patients with significant brain areas that still receive some
oxygen and nutrients from adjacent non-ischemic areas by diffusion,
although they do not receive any blood flow directly. These patients are
predicted to benefit the most from recanalization which would restore
blood flow to viable, salvageable tissue even after a relatively long
time from stroke onset [40]. Perfusion CTs (PCT) and CT angiography
source image (CTA-SI) analysis are CT modalities that could substitute
for MRIs in cases where an MRI is contraindicated or not available [41].
However, it should be noted that the usefulness of imaging techniques in
detecting thrombolysis candidates at late time points after stroke onset
has not yet been unequivocally proven. The results of the DEFUSE study
[40, 42] are expected to shed light on this issue.
The need for strict criteria and time-consuming diagnostic procedures
prior to the administration of tPA results from the adverse side-effects
of tPA, most notably that of intracerebral hemorrhagic conversion [43],
even though such conversion occurs only in 6-7% of patients. This is
considered a result of systemic plasminemia/fibrinolytic activation,
i.e. the tipping of the coagulation/fibrinolysis balance towards the
latter side in the systemic circulation which is thought to disrupt
microscopic plugs that physiologically prevent hemorrhages at
transiently injured spots on vessel walls [43, 44]. Although this lytic
state can manifest itself as hemorrhage in different organs,
intracranial hemorrhage is the most dramatic manifestation and can
complicate thrombolysis taking place in the body, such as during
myocardial infarction where brain vasculature is otherwise healthy,
although not necessarily. However, it is much more common in ischemic
stroke, because brain vasculature and the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) are
already compromised from the ischemia. In general, the greater the
severity of the ischemia and the longer the time from stroke onset, the
higher the likelihood of hemorrhage ensuing when recanalization of the
occluded vessel occurs in the course of thrombolysis [30]. Moreover, tPA
may also directly damage the cerebrovascular endothelium and disrupt the
BBB, as suggested by animal studies discussed below although evidence
from human trials is lacking.
One important issue in the use of tPA in stroke thrombolysis is whether
efficient and permanent recanalization of the occluded vessel occurs.
This may be the case with as little as 10% to 25% of cases [45], as tPA
only works on the surface of the clot. Therefore larger size clots would
take a long time to break down. Moreover, tPA is rapidly removed from
the systemic circulation and its thrombolytic effect is quickly lost
after termination of its IV infusion. This short half-life results in
inability to act on subsequent and continued vessel occlusions that
occur both in bigger and smaller blood vessels. Attempts at increasing
the dose are hampered by increased incidence of hemorrhagic
complications and a potential solution would be to alter the tPA
protein, so that favorable properties (such as fibrin specificity) are
maintained or enhanced and undesirable ones (such as short half life)
are modified or abolished. Mutant forms of tPA exhibiting longer half
lives and increased fibrin specificity have been generated and their
specific mutations and properties have recently been reviewed elsewhere
[15]. Although these tPA mutants have been evaluated as thrombolytics
for myocardial infarctions, their use for ischemic stroke is still under
investigation [46, 47, 48, 49]. Another solution would be to locally
deliver tPA via an arterial catheter in the vicinity of the clot (an
approach that seems to extend the therapeutic window) rather than
intravenously, so that higher local concentrations and hence higher
fibrinolytic efficiency are achieved. Unfortunately, it appears that
systemic plasminemia and the risk of intracranial hemorrhage are not
avoided this way [50]. This method of intra-arterial tPA administration
has been used in combination with the intravenous infusion and is
referred to as bridging therapy [45, 51]. Its disadvantages are that it
can only be used in large artery occlusions, and that it is more
interventional, thus requiring more specialized personnel and equipment
for its successful implementation. The appearance of specialized stroke
units circumvents this problem, although the cost remains considerable.

Mechanism of heparin action.
Jackson CM.
Abstract
Heparin catalysis of clotting proteinase inactivation occurs most
efficiently through the reaction of the proteinase with the
antithrombin-heparin complex. The efficiency of a heparin molecule in
this reaction depends on the presence of a specific pentasaccharide
sequence in it, and its molecular weight. The mechanism by which such
high affinity heparin acts when antithrombin III is the inhibitor is
promotion of the formation of an intermediate
proteinase-heparin-antithrombin complex. Heparin promotion of thrombin
inactivation by heparin cofactor II may occur by a similar mechanism.
The requirement for a specific oligosaccharide sequence within the
heparin molecule does not, however, exist for heparin cofactor II.
Binding of heparin to both thrombin and antithrombin III interferes with

And TPa
The biology of tPA in the fibrinolytic system
Blood clots are formed from the aggregation of activated platelets onto
fibrin meshes. The breakdown of the fibrin meshes is achieved by
plasmin, a broad spectrum protease found in the blood as an inactive
zymogen, plasminogen. Plasmin cleaves fibrin thus breaking down the
meshwork of the clot, and it is extremely short lived; it is quickly
inactivated by =CE=B12-antiplasmin, an abundant inhibitor that restricts th=
e
action of plasmin to the vicinity of the clot (reviewed in [2] and [3]).
>
Successful fibrinolysis is achieved by adequate generation of plasmin
from plasminogen by one of two Plasminogen Activators (PAs), the
tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (tPA) and the urokinase-type
Plasminogen Activator (uPA). The two are thought to have redundant
functions in the fibrinolytic system, since genetic deletion of either
one is not accompanied by major fibrinolytic defects, and only tPA/uPA
doubly deficient mice display phenotypes similar to plasminogen
deficient ones [4, 5]. As opposed to uPA, the activity of tPA is itself
regulated by binding to fibrin, which increases its catalytic efficiency

[6, 7]. Thus, the formation of the clot initiates, with the generation
of fibrin, the fibrinolytic/ clot dissolving cascade. The catalytic
activity of tPA in the bloodstream is terminated with the binding of (a)

protein inhibitor(s), primarily the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1
(PAI 1) [8]. The inactive PAI 1-bound tPA is cleared from the
circulation by the liver via a scavenger receptor, the LDL Receptor
Related Protein 1 (LRP1) [9]. LRP1 also binds catalytically active tPA,
but with lower affinity [10]. A neuronal-specific inhibitor of tPA,
neuroserpin, is the primary modifier of tPA activity in the nervous
system [11, 12]. Inhibited tPA-neuroserpin complexes are internalized by

LRP1, similarly to tPA-PAI 1 complexes [13]. The half-life of tPA in the

bloodstream is rather short, 5-10 minutes in humans, as a result of
PAI-1-mediated inhibition and LRP1-mediated liver uptake [14].
Carbohydrate side chains added to the backbone of tPA protein also play
important roles in the clearance of tPA from the bloodstream and forms
of tPA with longer half lives have been generated by mutating the
glycosylation sites of tPA (reviewed in [15]).
tPA is a secreted serine protease consisting of a single polypeptide
chain with 3 or 4 glycosylation sites and numerous disulfide bonds in
its secondary structure [16, 17]. The action of plasmin cleaves tPA into
>
an N-terminal light chain and a C-terminal heavy chain still held
together by disulfide bonds [18]. Two-chain tPA has higher catalytic
efficiency compared to the single chain form and is essentially
constitutively fully active, contrary to the single chain form which
only becomes fully active upon binding to fibrin [19]. The catalytic
domain of tPA lies towards its C-terminal end and comprises the light
chain of the protease [20, 21]. The protein also contains the following
domains: an N-terminal fibronectin type III finger domain, an epidermal
growth factor-like domain and two kringle domains [16, 22]. Plasminogen
binds to the second tPA kringle domain and fibrin binds to the finger
domain and the second kringle domain. Finally, inhibition by PAI 1 is
achieved by covalent binding of PAI 1 to the catalytic domain and the
formation of a complex [21]. The presence of the additional domains
beyond the catalytic one not only allows for regulation of the catalytic

function, but also suggests hitherto unknown interactions and
potentially functions. Indeed, both fibronectin finger and growth factor

tPA as a thrombolytic in stroke
The use of tPA in ischemic stroke has been the subject of numerous
recent reviews, so that only key concepts are being mentioned here and
the interested reader is referred to such reviews for more information
[23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28].
Recombinant human tPA produced in mammalian cell lines was introduced as
>
a thrombolytic agent in selected cases of stroke following the results
of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS)
study in 1995 [29]. This study consisted of two independently powered
trials that both showed clinical benefit from the use of tPA. A European
>
study conducted around the same time also showed clinical improvement,
albeit more modest, and the use of tPA was not recommended, for fear
that eligible patients could not be easily identified [30]. A second
European and Australian study showed no benefit from tPA [31], a fact
which delayed the use of the protease in Europe until 2002 when a
license was granted, provided that an observational safety study was
conducted to assess the safety profile of tPA in routine clinical
practice. The results of this study were recently published and
confirmed the positive effect of tPA [32], thus further relieving
reservations concerning its use as a thrombolytic in stroke. However,
tPA is still used only in a small number of ischemic stroke cases (3-8%,
>
[33]), but this percentage greatly increases in specialized stroke
centers [28].
The rationale behind the use of tPA in ischemic stroke is that by
breaking down the clot, recanalization of the occluded blood vessel
occurs. The restoration of blood vessel patency is meaningful, however,
only if the brain tissue of the ischemic area is still viable.
Unfortunately, brain tissue is metabolically very active and thus very
sensitive to ischemia. The core of the area serviced by the occluded
vessel becomes necrotic very quickly, whereas the periphery, which
receives some perfusion by adjacent non-ischemic regions, is still
salvageable within a reasonable time frame of a few hours, and is
referred to as the penumbra. Thrombolysis by tPA resulting in successful
>
recanalization potentially saves this ischemic but still viable
penumbra, but it has to be administered quickly. The positive effect of
tPA was clearly demonstrated in the two trials of the NINDS study [29],
in which the cut-off time from symptoms onset to initiation of
thrombolysis was set at three hours. The effect was more moderate in the
>
ECASS study (30), where treatment was initiated within 6h from stroke
onset, but clearer in the subgroup of ECASS patients treated within the
first three hours [34]. Along the same lines tPA showed moderate benefit
>
upon administration between 3 and 5 hours from stroke onset [35]. To
date the initial recommendation remains that tPA should be administered
within three hours from stroke onset [29, 36, 32]. This is a narrow time
>
window since the patient needs to be transferred to the health care
unit, and at minimum a CT scan has to be performed, primarily to exclude

the possibility of hemorrhage and to assess the size of the infarction.
Since potentially positive effects have also been reported with
administration of tPA between 3 and 5 hours from stroke onset [35, 36],
clinical trials are under way to further extend the time window for tPA
thrombolysis [37, 38].
Time is not the only parameter to be taken into account in the decision
to initiate tPA thrombolysis; novel imaging technologies may aid in the
identification of thrombolysis candidates at late time points.
Diffusion-weighted and perfusion-weighted MRIs are being employed to
identify patients with large diffusion-perfusion mismatches [39, 40],
i.e. patients with significant brain areas that still receive some
oxygen and nutrients from adjacent non-ischemic areas by diffusion,
although they do not receive any blood flow directly. These patients are
>
predicted to benefit the most from recanalization which would restore
blood flow to viable, salvageable tissue even after a relatively long
time from stroke onset [40]. Perfusion CTs (PCT) and CT angiography
source image (CTA-SI) analysis are CT modalities that could substitute
for MRIs in cases where an MRI is contraindicated or not available [41].

However, it should be noted that the usefulness of imaging techniques in

has not yet been unequivocally proven. The results of the DEFUSE study
[40, 42] are expected to shed light on this issue.
The need for strict criteria and time-consuming diagnostic procedures
prior to the administration of tPA results from the adverse side-effects
>
of tPA, most notably that of intracerebral hemorrhagic conversion [43],
even though such conversion occurs only in 6-7% of patients. This is
considered a result of systemic plasminemia/fibrinolytic activation,
i.e. the tipping of the coagulation/fibrinolysis balance towards the
latter side in the systemic circulation which is thought to disrupt
microscopic plugs that physiologically prevent hemorrhages at
transiently injured spots on vessel walls [43, 44]. Although this lytic
state can manifest itself as hemorrhage in different organs,
intracranial hemorrhage is the most dramatic manifestation and can
complicate thrombolysis taking place in the body, such as during
myocardial infarction where brain vasculature is otherwise healthy,
although not necessarily. However, it is much more common in ischemic
stroke, because brain vasculature and the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) are
already compromised from the ischemia. In general, the greater the
severity of the ischemia and the longer the time from stroke onset, the
higher the likelihood of hemorrhage ensuing when recanalization of the
occluded vessel occurs in the course of thrombolysis [30]. Moreover, tPA

may also directly damage the cerebrovascular endothelium and disrupt the

BBB, as suggested by animal studies discussed below although evidence
from human trials is lacking.
One important issue in the use of tPA in stroke thrombolysis is whether
efficient and permanent recanalization of the occluded vessel occurs.
This may be the case with as little as 10% to 25% of cases [45], as tPA
only works on the surface of the clot. Therefore larger size clots would
>
take a long time to break down. Moreover, tPA is rapidly removed from
the systemic circulation and its thrombolytic effect is quickly lost
after termination of its IV infusion. This short half-life results in
inability to act on subsequent and continued vessel occlusions that
occur both in bigger and smaller blood vessels. Attempts at increasing
the dose are hampered by increased incidence of hemorrhagic
complications and a potential solution would be to alter the tPA
protein, so that favorable properties (such as fibrin specificity) are
maintained or enhanced and undesirable ones (such as short half life)
are modified or abolished. Mutant forms of tPA exhibiting longer half
lives and increased fibrin specificity have been generated and their
specific mutations and properties have recently been reviewed elsewhere
[15]. Although these tPA mutants have been evaluated as thrombolytics
for myocardial infarctions, their use for ischemic stroke is still under
>
investigation [46, 47, 48, 49]. Another solution would be to locally
deliver tPA via an arterial catheter in the vicinity of the clot (an
approach that seems to extend the therapeutic window) rather than
intravenously, so that higher local concentrations and hence higher
fibrinolytic efficiency are achieved. Unfortunately, it appears that
systemic plasminemia and the risk of intracranial hemorrhage are not
avoided this way [50]. This method of intra-arterial tPA administration
has been used in combination with the intravenous infusion and is
referred to as bridging therapy [45, 51]. Its disadvantages are that it
can only be used in large artery occlusions, and that it is more
interventional, thus requiring more specialized personnel and equipment
for its successful implementation. The appearance of specialized stroke
units circumvents this problem, although the cost remains considerable.
