Fibrinolysis and bleeding of unknown cause [PDF]
Patients with bleeding of unknown cause (BUC) present with a variety of mild to moderate bleeding symptoms, but no hemostatic abnormalities can be found. Hyperfibrinolysis is rarely evaluated as the underlying cause for bleeding in clinical practice, and

Novel bis-arylsulfonamides and aryl sulfonimides as inactivators of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). [PDF]
Inactivators of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) have been identified as possible treatments for a range of conditions, including atherosclerosis, venous thrombosis, and obesity. We describe the synthesis and inhibitory activity of a novel series of compounds based on bis-arylsulfonamide and aryl sulfonimide motifs that show potent and ...

Mechanistic characterization and crystal structure of a small molecule inactivator bound to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. [PDF]
Significance Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) are a protein superfamily whose members are involved in many diseases and are thus attractive drug targets. In addition to protease inhibition, serpins also bind a variety a of other biological molecules, including extracellular matrix components and cell surface receptors.

Immunohistochemical study of the plasminogen activator system in benign epithelial odontogenic lesions [PDF]
: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the immunohistochemical expression of plasminogen activator system (PAS) proteins (uPA, uPAR, and PAI-1) in ameloblastomas (AMBs), odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs), and dental follicles (DFs) representing ...

We performed thromboelastography on the whole blood of pregnant women, and then analyzed the data. We found that thromboelastography has a good application prospect in the differential diagnosis of normal pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Abstract Background This observational study aimed to compare the potential application of thromboelastography

Molecular analysis of vascular gene expression
Abstract A State of the Art lecture entitled “Molecular Analysis of Vascular Gene Expression” was presented at the ISTH Congress in 2021. Endothelial cells (ECs) form a critical interface between the blood and underlying tissue environment, serving as a reactive barrier to maintain tissue homeostasis. ECs play an important role in not only coagulation,

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 polymers, induced by inactivating amphipathic organochemical ligands [PDF]
Negatively charged organochemical inactivators of the anti-proteolytic activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) convert it to inactive polymers. As investigated by native gel electrophoresis, the size of the PAI-1 polymers ranged from dimers to multimers of more than 20 units.

Prostatic human kallikrein 2 inactivates and complexes with plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PDF]
Human kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a serine protease expressed predominantly in the prostate which has 80% homology to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). hK2 is an active trypsin-like protease which has been shown by immuno-histochemical staining to be more highly expressed in prostate carcinoma than in benign prostate tissue. Unlike PSA, hK2 activates pro-PSA ,

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 detaches cells from extracellular matrices by inactivating integrins [PDF]
The binding of urokinase plaminogen activator (uPA) to its cell surface receptor (uPAR; CD87) promotes cell adhesion by increasing the affinity of the receptor for both vitronectin (VN) and integrins. We provide evidence that plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 can detach cells by disrupting uPAR–VN and integrin–VN interactions and that it does so ...
