Candida albicans Biofilm-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Are Involved in the Tolerance to Caspofungin, Biofilm Detachment, and Fungal Proteolytic Activity

Journal of Fungi, 2023
It has been repeatedly reported that the cells of organisms in all kingdoms of life produce nanometer-sized lipid membrane-enveloped extracellular vesicles (EVs), transporting and protecting various substances of cellular origin. While the composition of

The complex role of kininogens in hereditary angioedema

Frontiers in Allergy, 2022
Human high molecular weight kininogen (HK) is the substrate from which bradykinin is released as a result of activation of the plasma “contact” system, a cascade that includes the intrinsic coagulation pathway, and a fibrinolytic pathway leading to the ...

Blocking domain 6 of high molecular weight kininogen to understand intrinsic clotting mechanisms

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2022
Background The contact system is initiated by factor (F) XII activation and the assembly of high molecular weight kininogen (HK) with either FXI or prekallikrein (PK) on a negatively charged surface.

Kininogen–Nitric Oxide Signaling at Nearby Nonexcited Acupoints after Long-Term Stimulation

JID Innovations, 2021
Acupuncture treatment is based on acupoint stimulation; however, the biological basis is not understood. We stimulated one acupoint with catgut embedding for 8 weeks and then used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation to screen proteins ...

Kininogen-1 as a protein biomarker for schizophrenia through mass spectrometry and genetic association analyses [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a complex and severe mental illness. There is a lack of effective biomarkers for SCZ diagnosis. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of using serum peptides for the diagnosis of SCZ as well as analyze the

Modulation of the Plasma Kallikrein-Kinin System Proteins Performed by Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Human plasma kallikrein-kinin system proteins are related to inflammation through bradykinin. In the proximity of its target cells, high molecular weight kininogen (H-kininogen) is the substrate of plasma kallikrein, which releases bradykinin from H ...

Structure-function studies using deletion mutants identify domains of gC1qR/p33 as potential therapeutic targets for vascular permeability and inflammation#.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2011
The endothelial cell (EC) receptor complex for kininogen (HK) comprises gC1qR, cytokeratin 1, and urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and is essential for activation of the kinin system that leads to bradykinin (BK) generation. Of these,

Mass-spectrometric identification of T-kininogen I/thiostatin as an acute-phase inflammatory protein suppressed by curcumin and capsaicin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Curcumin and capsaicin are dietary xenobiotics with well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. Previously, the beneficial effect of these spice principles in lowering chronic inflammation was demonstrated using a rat experimental model for arthritis ...
