Plasmin and Plasminogen System in the Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Therapy

open access: yesCancers, 2021
Simple Summary In this review, we present a detailed discussion of how the plasminogen-activation system is utilized by tumor cells in their unrelenting attack on the tissues surrounding them.

MHJ_0125 is an M42 glutamyl aminopeptidase that moonlights as a multifunctional adhesin on the surface of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2013
Bacterial aminopeptidases play important roles in pathogenesis by providing a source of amino acids from exogenous proteins, destroying host immunological effector peptides and executing posttranslational modification of bacterial and host proteins.

Essential role of DNA-PKcs and plasminogen for the development of doxorubicin-induced glomerular injury in mice

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2021
Susceptibility to doxorubicin-induced nephropathy (DIN), a toxic model for the induction of proteinuria in mice, is related to the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C6418T of the Prkdc gene encoding for the DNA-repair enzyme DNA-PKcs.

The Plasminogen–Activator Plasmin System in Physiological and Pathophysiological Angiogenesis

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 1996
BACKGROUND Thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke has been approached cautiously because there were high rates of intracerebral hemorrhage in early clinical trials.

All tangled up: interactions of the fibrinolytic and innate immune systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
The hemostatic and innate immune system are intertwined processes. Inflammation within the vasculature promotes thrombus development, whilst fibrin forms part of the innate immune response to trap invading pathogens.

Interaction of plasminogen and fibrin in plasminogen activation. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1990
Glu1-, Lys77-, miniplasminogens, kringle 1-3, kringle 1-5A, and kringle 1-5R were able to bind with fibrin, while microplasminogen and kringle 4 did not bind significantly. Kringle 1-5A, but not kringle 1-3, effectively inhibited the binding of Glu1-, Lys77-, and miniplasminogens with fibrin.

Plasminogen Receptors and Fibrinolysis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
The ability of cells to promote plasminogen activation on their surfaces is now well recognized, and several distinct cell surface proteins have been demonstrated to function as plasminogen receptors. Here, we review studies demonstrating that plasminogen bound to cells, in addition to plasminogen directly bound to fibrin, plays a major role in ...

Monitoring of fibrinolytic system activity with plasminogen, D-dimers and FDP in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after topical, intravenous or combined administration of tranexamic acid

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2020
Aim: We assessed various ways of tranexamic acid (TXA) administration on the fibrinolytic system. Blood loss, transfusions, drainage and haematoma were secondary outcomes.

C-Terminal Lysine Residue of Pneumococcal Triosephosphate Isomerase Contributes to Its Binding to Host Plasminogen

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
The main causative agent of pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumoniae, is also responsible for invasive diseases. S. pneumoniae recruits human plasminogen for the invasion and colonization of host tissues. We previously discovered that S.
