External pneumatic compression does not increase urokinase plasminogen activator after abdominal surgery

Plasminogen activator inhibitor from human fibrosarcoma cells binds urokinase-type plasminogen activator, but not its proenzyme.

An approximately 75% pure form of a human Mr approximately 54,000 plasminogen activator inhibitor from conditioned culture fluid of the fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080 was obtained by a single step of chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose. The inhibitor inhibited human urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator, but not plasmin. Rabbit antibodies again...

Increased plasminogen activator (urokinase) in tissue culture after fibrin deposition.

Lysis of fibrin in tissue culture has been shown to be due to plasminogen activator identified immunologically as urokinase. The present study examines fibrinolytic events in culture, particularly mechanisms leading to increased urokinase levels and accelerated fibrinolysis. Deposition of fibrin on cells in culture was followed by a two- to six-fold increase in urokinase in the supernates and r...

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the emergency department: An update

Background: The biomarker soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an indicator of inflammation which is increased in a variety of chronic and acute disease states. Its most promising application in the emergency setting is to aid in the prognostic stratification of patients by identifying those at high risk of deterioration. This is a narrative review of studies evaluating t...
