Dendritic Cell-Mediated Phagocytosis but Not Immune Activation Is Enhanced by Plasmin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Removal of dead cells in the absence of concomitant immune stimulation is essential for tissue homeostasis. We recently identified an injury-induced protein misfolding event that orchestrates the plasmin-dependent proteolytic degradation of necrotic ...

The Plasminogen–Activator Plasmin System in Physiological and Pathophysiological Angiogenesis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Angiogenesis is a process associated with the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (EC) to form new blood vessels. It is involved in various physiological and pathophysiological conditions and is controlled by a wide range of proangiogenic ...

Gelsolin induces colorectal tumor cell invasion via modulation of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator cascade [PDF]
, 2012 Gelsolin is a cytoskeletal protein which participates in actin filament dynamics and promotes cell motility and plasticity. Although initially regarded as a tumor suppressor, gelsolin expression in certain tumors correlates with poor prognosis and ...

Plasmin inhibitors prevent leukocyte accumulation and remodeling events in the postischemic microvasculature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Clinical trials revealed beneficial effects of the broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor aprotinin on the prevention of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The underlying mechanisms remained largely unclear.

Lens subluxation after plasmin and SF6 injections in rabbit eyes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To investigate the rate of lens subluxation following plasmin and/or SF6 injections in eyes, and whether a subsequent elevated level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vitreous tap would aggravate subluxation.Four groups of rabbits were ...
