PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTIBODIES AGAINST K1-3 FRAGMENT OF HUMAN PLASMINOGEN [PDF]

Biotechnologia Acta, 2013
Components of plasminogen/plasmin system play crucial role in fibrinolytic rocesses. They are also involved in regulation of cell activity in normalcy and various pathological conditions.

Fibrinolysis protease receptors promote activation of astrocytes to express pro-inflammatory cytokines. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Astrocytes contribute to the crosstalk that generates chronic neuro-inflammation in neurological diseases; however, compared with microglia, astrocytes respond to a more limited continuum of innate immune system stimulants.

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

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

Disease 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.

KLK7 overexpression promotes an aggressive phenotype and facilitates peritoneal dissemination in colorectal cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KLK7, a tissue kallikrein‐related peptidase, is elevated in advanced colorectal cancer and associated with shorter survival. High KLK7 levels in ascites correlate with peritoneal metastasis. In mice, KLK7 overexpression increases metastasis. In vitro, KLK7 enhances cancer cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and spheroid formation, driving ...

Mutant and chimeric recobinant plasminogen activatorsproduction in eukaryotic cellsand preliminary characterization [PDF]

, 1987
Mutant urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) genes and hybrid genes between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and u-PA have been designed to direct the synthesis of new plasminogen activators and to investigate the structure-function ...

Expression of the inhibitory Ly49E receptor is not critically involved in the immune response against cutaneous, pulmonary or liver tumours [PDF]

, 2016
Natural killer (NK) lymphocytes are part of the innate immune system and are important in immune protection against tumourigenesis. NK cells display a broad repertoire of activating and inhibitory cell surface receptors that regulate NK cell activity ...

Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...

Inactivation of the lysine binding sites of human plasminogen (hPg) reveals novel structural requirements for the tight hPg conformation, M-protein binding, and rapid activation

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Accelerated activation of the human plasminogen zymogen (hPg) to two-chain active plasmin (hPm) is achieved following conformational changes induced by ligand-binding at the lysine-binding sites (LBSs) in four of the five hPg kringle domains.
