Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 [PDF]
Circulation, 2013 Hypertension is the most common reversible risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure, affecting >60 million individuals in the United State alone and 1 billion globally.1 According to the World Health Organization, hypertension is now the leading cause of preventable death worldwide.2 Importantly, the prevalence and complications

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 in the Pathogenesis of Asthma
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2004 Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 is the main inhibitor of the fibrinolytic system and is known to play an essential role in tissue remodeling. Recent evidence indicates that chronic asthma may lead to tissue remodeling such as subepithelial fibrosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in the airways. However, the role of PAI-1 in asthma is

Pleiotropic functions of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2005 Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a 45-kDa serine proteinase inhibitor with reactive site peptide bond Arg345-Met346, is the main physiological plasminogen activator inhibitor. It occurs in human plasma at an antigen concentration of about 20 ng mL(-1).

Platelets retain high levels of active plasminogen activator inhibitor 1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The vascular fibrinolytic system is crucial for spontaneous lysis of blood clots. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), the principal inhibitor of the key fibrinolytic enzyme tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), is present in platelets at high ...

Biochemical properties of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009 PAI-1 is a Mr ~50,000 glycoprotein, which is the primary physiological inhibitor of the two plasminogen activators uPA and tPA. PAI-1 belongs to the serpin protein family. Studies of PAI-1 have contributed significantly to the elucidation of the protease inhibitory mechanism of serpins, which is based on a metastable native state becoming stabilised by

Scientific Reports, 2017 Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is known to protect mice against cardiac fibrosis. It has been speculated that PAI-1 may regulate cardiac fibrosis by inactivating urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and ultimately plasmin (Pm) generation.

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in cancer research
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2018 [Despite as a major inhibitor of urokinase (uPA), paradoxically,] Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been validated to be highly expressed in various types of tumor biopsy tissues or plasma compared with controls based on huge clinical data bases analysis, more importantly, PAI-1 alone or in conjunction with uPA have been identified as ...
