Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1: a review Plasminogen-Aktivator-Inhibitor-1: eine Übersicht [PDF]

LaboratoriumsMedizin, 2005
Abstract Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the most potent inhibitor of both tissue type (t-PA) and urokinase type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and thus regulates fibrinolysis as well as proteolysis, cell migration, and tumor cell invasiveness.

Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) in breast cancer - correlation with traditional prognostic factors

Radiology and Oncology, 2015
Background. Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) play a key role in tumour invasion and metastasis. High levels of both proteolytic enzymes are associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients ...

Expression of plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma [PDF]

Cancer, 1997
The plasminogen activator system plays an important role in different malignant tumors. These enzymes participate in the destruction of intercellular matrices and basement membranes and/or can modulate the growth potency of tumor cells and may even promote metastases.

Degradation of connective tissue matrices by macrophages. III. Morphological and biochemical studies on extracellular, pericellular, and intracellular events in matrix proteolysis by macrophages in culture. [PDF]

, 1980
We have shown that macrophages in culture degrade the glycoproteins and amorphous elastin of insoluble extracellular matrices. Ultrastructural observation of the macrophage-matrix interaction revealed that connective tissue macromolecules were ...

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

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]

, 1989
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

The Ly49E receptor inhibits the immune control of acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]

, 2016
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in the blood upon infection and invades various cells. Parasites intensively multiply during the acute phase of infection and persist lifelong at low levels in tissues and blood during the chronic phase.

Measuring the metastatic potential of cancer cells [PDF]

, 1993
Cancer cells must secrete proteolytic enzymes to invade adjacent tissues and migrate to a new metastatic site. Urokinase (uPA) is a key enzyme related to metastasis in cancers of the lung, colon, gastric, uterine, breast, brain, and malignant melanoma. A
