Figure 1: Individual tPA antigen levels<br />

(grey lines) and mean tPA antigen level<br />

(black bold line) in the study group.<br />

Mean ± standard error of the mean<br />

of tPA in healthy controls (green).<br />

tPA is secreted into the plasma primarily by vascular endothelial cells through<br />

two pathways: consecutive secretion, in which proteins are continuously<br />

released as fast as they are synthesized, and regulated secretion, in which<br />

newly synthesized tPA is stored at high concentrations in organelles and<br />

secreted only in response to an appropriate stimulus such as a vascular injury.<br />

We speculate that the physical impact at the time of injury and pathophysiological<br />

processes hereafter might trigger enhanced consecutive secretion,<br />

causing a long-term increase in biomarker levels, whereas regulated secretion<br />

might further raise this „steady-state“ level for a short period in response to<br />

additional endothelial damage.<br />

At day 0 the mean PAI-1 antigen level was 2.6-fold higher than that of healthy<br />

controls. Despite the 20% decrease from day 0 to day 5 (p = 0.007), it remained<br />

elevated for at least three weeks. Mean PAI-1 antigen levels were higher in<br />

poly trauma victims developing pneumonia compared to those not developing<br />

the complication. The Wald test calculated p = 0.128 and 0.044 for the first<br />

week and first three weeks from admission, respectively. Noteworthy, PAI-1<br />

antigen levels increased between day 7 and day 10 in ten of 12 patients sustaining<br />

pneumonia, all ten patients also suffering from ARDS.<br />

A strong positive correlation between tPA and PAI-1 antigen levels within<br />

the first week post-trauma was revealed, indicating that tPA and PAI-1<br />

synthesis and their clearance from circulation by hepatic cells might be biologically<br />

linked. The significant subject correlation over time between each<br />

pair of tPA antigen levels might be explained by a predominant consecutive<br />

secretion, ensuring high continuity in tPA antigen levels. Contrarily, correlation<br />

coefficients between PAI-1 antigen levels were only significant in some
