A partial automorphism of a semigroup $S$ is any isomorphism between its subsemigroups, and the set all partial automorphisms of $S$ with respect to composition is the inverse monoid called the partial automorphism monoid of $S$. Two semigroups are said to be $\cPA$-isomorphic if their partial automorphism monoids are isomorphic. A class $\K$ of semigroups is called $\cPA$-closed if it contains every semigroup $\cPA$-isomorphic to some semigroup from $\K$. Although the class of all inverse semigroups is not $\cPA$-closed, we prove that the class of inverse semigroups, in which no maximal isolated subgroup is a direct product of an involution-free periodic group and the two-element cyclic group, is $\cPA$-closed. It follows that the class of all combinatorial inverse semigroups (those with no nontrivial subgroups) is $\cPA$-closed. A semigroup is called $\cPA$-determined if it is isomorphic or anti-isomorphic to any semigroup that is $\cPA$-isomorphic to it. We show that combinatorial inverse semigroups which are either shortly connected [5] or quasi-archimedean [10] are $\cPA$-determined.
