Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition Increases Human Vascular Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator Release Through Endogenous Bradykinin

Abstract: Background-Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition potentiates the tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) response to exogenous bradykinin. This study tested the hypothesis that ACE inhibition increases endothelial t-PA release through endogenous bradykinin. Methods and Results-We measured the effect of intra-arterial enalaprilat (5 g/min) on forearm blood flow (FBF) and net t-PA release before and during intra-arterial infusion of bradykinin (25 to 400 ng/min) and methacholine (3.2 to 12.8 g/min) in … Show more

“…FBF was measured using strain-gauge venous occlusion plethysmography (D.E. Hokanson, Bellevue, WA), as described previously, 14,52 at each of the six timepoints outlined above. FBF was measured in milliliters per 100 ml of volume tissue per minute.…”

“…On the one hand, bradykinin causes vasodilation and stimulates the release of t-PA from the vascular endothelium via bradykinin B 2 receptor-dependent mechanisms, and infused bradykinin inhibits platelet aggregation in healthy subjects. [12][13][14] On the other hand, bradykinin also stimulates activation of nuclear factor B and cytokine expression via the B 2 receptor. 15,16 Understanding the contribution of endogenous bradykinin to the inflammatory response to hemodialysis has important implications for the prevention of atherothrombotic events.…”

“…2,4 ACE inhibition alters fibrinolysis by decreasing angiotensin II formation, a potent stimulus for PAI-1 expression, 5 and also by reducing the enzymatic degradation of bradykinin, a potent stimulus of tPA release. 19,20 ACEIs have been shown to reduce circulating PAI-1 antigen in patients with risk factors for coronary artery disease 9,13,21 or after myocardial infarction. 11,22 In addition, ACE inhibition prevents the increase in PAI-1 after thrombolysis.…”

“…CPB stimulates the kallikrein-kinin system, increasing bradykinin concentrations 10-to 20-fold. 23,24 Because bradykinin stimulates endothelial tPA release, 19,20 decreased bradykinin clearance during ACE inhibition would be expected to increase tPA. Thus, the net effect of ACE inhibition in patients undergoing elective CABG requiring CPB was to increase fibrinolytic activity by decreasing PAI-1 antigen and increasing tPA antigen.…”

“…22 In addition, ACE inhibition potentiates bradykinin-stimulated t-PA release to a greater extent in premenopausal women than in postmenopausal women and in either group of women compared with age-matched men, 23 suggesting that estrogen may modulate the effect of ACE inhibition on bradykininstimulated t-PA release. This study tested the hypothesis that 17␤-estradiol enhances t-PA release in the presence of ACE inhibition in young postmenopausal women.…”
