Mutant plasminogen in hereditary angioedema is bypassing FXII/kallikrein to generate bradykinin
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by recurrent localized edema in various organs, which can be potentially fatal. There are different types of hereditary angioedema, which include genetic deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) and hereditary ...

Background/Objectives. Carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1)/kininogen and selenoprotein W (SelW)/14-3-3η signal transduction orchestrate oxidative stress, which can also be regulated by nitric oxide (NO).

Insulin has metabolic and vascular effects in the human body. What mechanisms that orchestrate the effects in the microcirculation, and how the responds differ in different tissues, is however not fully understood.

Assembly of Bioactive Superstructures via Metal–Phenolic Complexation for Blood Purification
Bioactive superstructures are assembled via metal–phenolic‐mediated assembly on agarose templates, followed by modification with human serum albumin. These superstructures demonstrate high bilirubin adsorption efficiency, strong antibacterial activity, and anticoagulant activity, providing a strategy for the rational design of multifunctional blood ...

Plasma Prekallikrein: Its Role in Hereditary Angioedema and Health and Disease
Plasma prekallikrein (PK) has a critical role in acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). Unlike C1 inhibitor, its levels fall during HAE attacks with resultant cleaved high-molecular-weight kininogen.

Abstract Objective Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are recognized to have a pivotal role in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we assessed the vascular function of women with RPL and examined the association with each type of aPL.

Kininogen binding to the surfaces of macrophages
Kinin generation may be initiated on the cell surfaces via a primary kininogen docking which has been characterized for endothelial cells, platelets, neutrophils, astrocytes and smooth muscle cells. In this work we describe the adsorption of biotin-labeled human kininogens by murine RAW 264.7 macrophages and human U-937 monocytes/macrophages. Both cell

Suppressed Angiogenesis in Kininogen-Deficiencies [PDF]
We investigated whether the kinin-generating system enhanced angiogenesis in chronic and proliferative granuloma and in tumor-surrounding stroma. In rat sponge implants, angiogenesis was gradually developed in normal Brown Norway Kitasato rats (BN-Ki).

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

The kallikrein–kinin pathway as a mechanism for auto-control of brown adipose tissue activity
Brown adipose tissue, known produce heat by metabolizing fat, is also secretes molecules capable of communicating with other organs. Here the authors show that brown adipose tissue secretes kininogen, a component of heat system regulation, that provides ...
