Abstract Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)–induced smooth muscle cell (SMC) fibrinolysis is necessary for SMC migration. In order to determine whether the T-cell lymphokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and gamma interferon (-IFN) affect SMC fibrinolysis and migration, we examined the effects of human recombinant IL-4 and -IFN on human aortic SMC tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (UPA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) antigen production, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Although IL-4 had no direct effect on SMC TPA antigen, IL-4 potentiated SMC TPA antigen levels and activity in conditioned media and cellular lysates in media containing 2% fetal bovine serum but did not change UPA or PAI-1 production. -IFN attenuated IL-4 augmentation of SMC TPA antigen production in conditioned media, although -IFN itself had no direct effects on SMC TPA and PAI-1 antigen production. IL-4 augmented PDGF induction of SMC TPA antigen. -IFN inhibited PDGF induction of SMC TPA antigen and IL-4 potentiation of this process. -IFN diminished the promigratory effects of both IL-4 and PDGF on in vitro SMC migration. Tranexamic acid, a plasmin inhibitor, abrogated the stimulation of SMC migration by IL-4. Therefore, IL-4 and -IFN modulate the induction of SMC TPA and SMC migration by 2% fetal bovine serum and PDGF.
