Fibrinolytic activity of rat plasma during development of Guerin epithelioma.

Fibrinolytic activity in the blood of rats during the development of Guerin epithelioma was studied. It was measured by means of radiometric method, based on the amount of plasmin degradation products released from 125I-fibrin, as well as by means of amidolytic technique with the use of Chromozym PL. During the initial phase of epithelioma development the fibrinolytic activity of plasma, determined after inactivating plasma proteinase inhibitors, increases. It also increases in the euglobulin fraction. Simultaneously, the content of fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDP) increases in the blood. During the stage of the intensive development of neoplastic disease fibrinolytic activity as well as plasminogen activator activity become inhibited, whereas the concentration of FDP retains the level observed in healthy animals. Inhibition of fibrinolytic activity in the later phase of the disease coincides with the appearance of low-molecular weight antifibrinolytic factor in the blood of rats loaded with epithelioma.

Plasminogen activator (PA) in Guerin epithelioma. Additional PA inhibitor in plasma of rats bearing the epithelioma.

The presence of plasminogen activator (PA) with a Mr of about 35,000 was detected by SDS-PAGE in extract from Guerin epithelioma. The activator, which is a serine proteinase, was partially purified on Sephadex G-50 followed by Lys-Sepharose. Rat plasma, both of healthy and epithelioma-bearing animals, inhibited the activity of such isolated PA. However, the difference between these plasmas in their antiactivator action was observed after inactivation of plasma proteinase inhibitors. In such conditions, the control plasma lost the ability to inhibit the examined PA, whereas the plasma of epithelioma bearing rats retained this ability.

Blood coagulation changes in rats during development of epithelioma.

Coagulation activity in the blood of rats during the development of Guerin epithelioma was studied. Clotting time, level of fibrinogen and some coagulation factors (II, V, VII + X) in the plasma were determined and thromboelastographic studies were performed. Two periods of blood hypercoagulability were observed in the process of epithelioma development. The first a short-term period, was noticed during the first days following the implantation of the neoplastic tissue. The second took place during the intensive growth of the primary tumor and metastases.
