Plasminogen activation in synovial tissues: differences between normal, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis joints.
OBJECTIVE To analyse the functional activity of the plasminogen activators urokinase (uPA) and tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) in human synovial membrane, and to compare the pattern of expression between normal, osteoarthritic, and rheumatoid synovium. The molecular mechanisms underlying differences in PA activities between normal and pathological synovial tissues have been further exam...
متن کاملOptimizing refolding condition for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator
Low molecular size additives such as L-arginine and the redox compounds have been used both in the culturemedium and in vitro refolding to increase recombinant proteins production. Additives increase proteinrefolding and yield of active proteins by suppressing aggregate formation or enhancing refolding process.In this work, a comparative study was performed on refolding of rec...
متن کاملPlasminogen and Plasminogen Activators Protect against Renal Injury in Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
The plasminogen/plasmin system has the potential to affect the outcome of inflammatory diseases by regulating accumulation of fibrin and other matrix proteins. In human and experimental crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN), fibrin is an important mediator of glomerular injury and renal impairment. Glomerular deposition of matrix proteins is a feature of progressive disease. To study the role of p...
متن کاملDecreased fibrinolytic activity in juvenile chronic arthritis.
The basal fibrinolytic activity in 17 children with active juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) was investigated. It was found that patients with JCA, and particularly those with the systemic form, show decreased plasma fibrinolytic activity and a marked increase in plasminogen activator inhibitor. Additionally, it was found that patients with systemic JCA, but not those with the polyarticular or p...
متن کاملDifference in expression of the plasminogen activation system in synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Proteolytic joint destruction in inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthropathy is believed to be mediated, at least in part, by the plasminogen activation (PA) system. To further investigate possible involvement of the PA system, we quantified immunoreactive urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), both plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAI-1 and PA...
