Increased Mosquito Midgut Infection by Dengue Virus Recruitment of Plasmin Is Blocked by an Endogenous Kazal-type Inhibitor

open access: yesiScience, 2019
Summary: Dengue symptoms include alteration of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, causing severe hemorrhage and death. Here, we demonstrate that higher concentration of plasmin, the human fibrinolytic factor, in blood meal enhances dengue virus (DENV ...

Group B Streptococcus hijacks the host plasminogen system to promote brain endothelial cell invasion. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of meningitis in neonates. We have previously shown that plasminogen, once recruited to the GBS cell surface and converted into plasmin by host-derived activators, leads to an enhancement of bacterial ...

On the Mechanism of Thrombolysis by Plasmin [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 1962
I 131 -labeled purified human fibrin clots were introduced into the circulation of dogs at various time intervals after an infusion of human plasmin. One hour later, the clots were removed and incubated in saline at 37 C.

Plasmin Regulation through Allosteric, Sulfated, Small Molecules

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
Plasmin, a key serine protease, plays a major role in clot lysis and extracellular matrix remodeling. Heparin, a natural polydisperse sulfated glycosaminoglycan, is known to allosterically modulate plasmin activity.

New Insights on Plasmin Long Term Stability and the Mechanism of Its Activity Inhibition Analyzed by Quartz Crystal Microbalance

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
We used the research quartz crystal microbalance (RQCM) to monitor regulatory effects of plasmin and trypsin in the presence of their inhibitor α2-antiplasmin.

CALIX[4]ARENES METHYLENE BISPHOSPHONIC ACIDS EFFECT ON PLASMIN ACTIVITY [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2018
The aim of the work was to study plasmin inhibiting properties of calix[4]arenes functionalized by phosphonic acid remnants. The following methods were used: turbidimetry, analysis of enzyme activity for chromogenic substrates, evaluation of caseinolytic

Astrocytes regulate the balance between plasminogen activation and plasmin clearance via cell-surface actin

open access: yesCell Discovery, 2017
Plasminogen activation is involved in many processes within the central nervous system, including synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms that regulate plasminogen activation in the brain still remain unknown.

Activation of Pro-uPA Is Critical for Initial Escape from the Primary Tumor and Hematogenous Dissemination of Human Carcinoma Cells

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2011
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasmin have long been implicated in cancer progression. However, the precise contributions of the uPA/plasmin system to specific steps involved in cancer cell dissemination have not been fully established ...
