Abstract
Elevated expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in tumors is associated with a poor prognosis in many cancers. Reduced tumor growth and angiogenesis have also been reported in mice deficient in PAI-1. These results suggest that PAI-1 may be required for efficient angiogenesis and tumor growth. In the present study, we demonstrate that PAI-1 can both enhance and inhibit the growth of M21 human melanoma tumors in nude mice and that this appears to be due to PAI-1 regulation of angiogenesis. Quantitative analysis of angiogenesis in a Matrigel implant assay indicated that in PAI-1 null mice angiogenesis was reduced approximately 60% compared with wild-type mice, while in mice overexpressing PAI-1, angiogenesis was increased nearly 3-fold. Furthermore, addition of PAI-1 to implants in wild-type mice enhanced angiogenesis up to 3-fold at low concentrations but inhibited angiogenesis nearly completely at high concentrations. Together, these data demonstrate that PAI-1 is a potent regulator of angiogenesis and hence of tumor growth and suggest that understanding the mechanism of this activity may lead to the development of important new therapeutic agents for controlling pathologic angiogenesis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
