Precision targeting of the plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 mechanism increases efficacy of fibrinolytic therapy in empyema

Physiological Reports, 2021
Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) is an endogenous irreversible inhibitor of tissue‐type (tPA) and urokinase (uPA) plasminogen activators. PAI‐1‐targeted fibrinolytic therapy (PAI‐1‐TFT) is designed to decrease the therapeutic dose of tPA and uPA,

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.

Effect of dsRNA on Mesangial Cell Synthesis of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 1 and Tissue Plasminogen Activator [PDF]

, 2009
Background/Aims: Viral infections are a major problem worldwide and many of them are complicated by virally induced glomerulonephritides. Progression of kidney disease to renal failure is mainly attributed to the development of renal fibrosis ...

Plasminogen-activator-producing Tumour [PDF]

BMJ, 1969
In a patient with giant-cell carcinoma of the lung a secondary tumour deposit in the arm was incised and bled for three weeks. Investigations showed the tumour to be rich in plasminogen activator. Haemostasis in the tumour was achieved with aminocaproic acid therapy. For a period the plasminogen-activator properties were retained in cell culture of the

Leukocyte- and endothelial-derived microparticles: a circulating source for fibrinolysis

Haematologica, 2012
Background We recently assigned a new fibrinolytic function to cell-derived microparticles in vitro. In this study we explored the relevance of this novel property of microparticles to the in vivo situation.Design and Methods Circulating microparticles ...

The plasmin-antiplasmin system: structural and functional aspects [PDF]

, 2018
The plasmin-antiplasmin system plays a key role in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Plasmin and α2-antiplasmin are primarily responsible for a controlled and regulated dissolution of the fibrin polymers into soluble fragments. However, besides plasmin(

Mechanical Stability and Fibrinolytic Resistance of Clots Containing Fibrin, DNA, and Histones [PDF]

, 2013
Neutrophil extracellular traps are networks of DNA and associated proteins produced by nucleosome release from activated neutrophils in response to infection stimuli and have recently been identified as key mediators between innate immunity, inflammation,

Streptolysin O accelerates the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin

Nature Communications
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a human-specific bacterial pathogen that can exploit the plasminogen-plasmin fibrinolysis system to dismantle blood clots and facilitate its spread and survival within the human host.

Interference with the Host Haemostatic System by Schistosomes [PDF]

, 2013
Schistosomes, parasitic flatworms that cause the tropical disease schistosomiasis, are still a threat. They are responsible for 200 million infections worldwide and an estimated 280,000 deaths annually in sub-Saharan Africa alone.

Targeted Thrombolysis with Magnetic Nanotherapeutics: A Translational Assessment

Pharmaceutics
Plasminogen activators, such as recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activators (rtPAs), while effective in treating thromboembolic diseases, often induce hemorrhagic complications due to non-specific enzyme activities in the systemic circulation.
