Abstract

Lipoprotein(a) is a plasma lipoprotein whose structure and composition are similar with low density lipoprotein (LDL) with an addition of apo(a) that is bound to apo B100. The structure of apo(a) is similar with plasminogen, a proenzym in fibrinolytic system. Due to this similarity, it is assumed that Lp(a) can inhibit plasminogen activity and decreases fibrinolytic activity. The purpose of this study is to prove that addition of Lp(a) to normal plasma can inhibit fibrinolytic activity. Four healthy people whose fibrinogen levels, plasminogen activities and euglobulin clot lysis time were within normal range were enrolled in this study. Fibrinolytic activity were assessed by euglobulin clot lysis time (ECLT). In the first experiment, the addition of Lp(a) was done before centrifugation to obtain euglobulin precipitates, while in the second experiment, Lp(a) was added to the euglobulin precipitates. As a control, ECLT was performed in the plasma with the addition of NaCl 0.9% in the same volume with Lp(a). The results of the study showed that in the first experiment, there was no clot formation. It is assumed that Lp(a) can bind fibrinogen and both of them floated in the supernatant, so there was no fibrinogen in the euglobulin precipitate that can be clotted by thrombin. In the second experiment, the clot did not dissolve until the fourth day. In conclusion, the addition of Lp(a) to normal plasma can inhibit the activity of fibrinolytic system.

Abstract

Aim Recently, increased plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been known a risk factor for ischemic heart disease. However, the association of increased PAI-1 level with ischemic stroke remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of PAI-1 level with ischemic stroke.Methods By case control design we involved 38 ischemic stroke and 38 risky-matched control subjects who fulfilled the criteria. The PAI-1 level was determined by ELISA method using Asserachrom PAI-1 from Stago.Results High PAI-1 level was found more frequent in ischemic stroke subjects than in control subjects (21.1% vs. 7.9 % with OR 3.1; 95 % CI 0.757 – 12.790). The analysis of all studied subjects showed that there was a weak negative correlation between PAI-1 level and age (r = -0.4; P = 0.000). High PAI-1 level was found more frequent in younger (40 – 58 years old) than in the older subjects (60 – 84 years old) (20% vs. 9.8 %) (p=0.004).Conclusion The result of this preliminary study suggested an association between PAI-1 level and ischemic stroke in younger age. Further study with larger subjects is recommended to confirm this association. (Med J Indones 2009;19:158-63)Key words: ischemic stroke, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, stroke risk factors
