The plasminogen activation system in skeletal muscle regeneration: antagonistic roles of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its inhibitor (PAI-1).
The plasminogen activation (PA) system is an extensively used mechanism for the generation of proteolytic activity in the extracellular matrix, where it contributes to tissue remodeling in a wide range of physiopathological processes. Despite the limited information available at present on plasminogen activators, their inhibitors and cognate receptors in skeletal muscle, increasing evidence is ...
متن کاملReactive protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) levels, PAI-1 promoter 4G/5G polymorphism and acute myocardial infarction
Objective To investigate the relationship between CRP, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels, PAI-1 gene promoter 4G/5G polymorphism and the type of acute myocardial infarction (ST elevation myocardial infarction, STEMI vs the non-ST elevation Myocardial infarction, NSTEMI). Methods One hundred seventy-six consecutive patients with AMI were included for the study, of whom 60 had...
متن کاملDistribution of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in tissues.
Extracts of human tissue were analysed for plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) antigen and activity. PAI-1 was localised in tissues by an immunochemical method, using monoclonal antibodies. PAI-1 occurred throughout the body; its concentration and activity differed considerably from organ to organ. Extracts of liver and spleen had the greatest abundance of PAI-1, but the activity of the inh...
متن کاملEstrogen regulates endothelial migration via plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1).
Endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) controls vascular remodeling, angiogenesis and fibrinolysis. PAI-1 blood levels in women are related to estrogen. The aim of this study was to characterize the signaling pathways through which estrogen regulates PAI-1 in endothelial cells. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate whether PAI-1 is implicated in the control of endothelial migration ...
متن کاملThe regulatory region of the human plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) gene.
The human gene for plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) has been isolated and its promoter region characterized. PAI-1 regulation by glucocorticoids, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and the phorbol ester PMA is shown to be exerted at the promoter level. A fragment spanning 805 nucleotides of the 5' flanking and 72 of the 5' untranslated region contain information enough to ...
