Hexa-acylated LPS-lipid A deploys the appropriate level of fibrin to confer protection through MyD88

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Objectives: Fibrin has been demonstrated to function protectively against pathogens in our previous studies, but we observed that a very high level of fibrin played a negative role during infection. We performed this research to address the complication.

Induction of brain microvascular endothelial cell urokinase expression by Cryptococcus neoformans facilitates blood-brain barrier invasion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The invasive ability of the blood-borne fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans can be enhanced through interactions with host plasma components, such as plasminogen.

Matrix metalloproteinases at key junctions in the pathomechanism of stroke [PDF]

, 2011
Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in the remodelling of the extracellular matrix through direct degradation of its structural proteins and control of extracellular signaling.

Plasminogen–receptor KT: plasminogen activation and beyond [PDF]

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2017
The cell surface orchestrates plasminogen activation through the concomitant binding of plasminogen and plasminogen activators to specific receptors. In this issue, Miles and colleagues describe their detailed phenotypic characterization of mice deficient in Plg-RKT, a key plasminogen receptor expressed in numerous tissues, but highly expressed by ...

Salt-inducible kinases (SIKs) regulate TGFβ-mediated transcriptional and apoptotic responses [PDF]

, 2020
The signalling pathways initiated by members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) family of cytokines control many metazoan cellular processes, including proliferation and differentiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis. TGFβ

A novel ex vivo approach for measuring plasminogen activation upon established plasma clots

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2022
Background The fibrinolytic system plays a critical role in maintaining hemostasis. Central to fibrinolysis is the degradation of fibrin by plasmin, produced in the circulation following the activation of plasminogen by plasminogen activators (PAs ...

Mice deficient in urokinase-type plasminogen activator have delayed healing of tympanic membrane perforations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Mice deficient in plasminogen, the precursor of plasmin, show completely arrested healing of tympanic membrane (TM) perforations, indicating that plasmin plays an essential role in TM healing.
