Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]

, 2014
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

t-plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 polymorphism in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

Indian Journal of Human Genetics, 2008
The aim of the present study was to identify the possible genotypic association of 3'UTR Hind III polymorphism of Plasminogen activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH).IPAH is a disorder with abnormally raised mean pulmonary arterial pressure and increase in the resistance to blood flow in pulmonary ...

Development and application of global assays of hyper‐ and hypofibrinolysis

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020
Numerous methods for evaluation of global fibrinolytic activity in whole blood or plasma have been proposed, with the majority based on tissue‐type plasminogen activator (t‐PA) addition to initiate fibrinolysis. We propose that such an approach is useful

t-Plasminogen activator and von Willebrand factor in patients with unstable angina

International Journal of Cardiology, 1996
We investigated whether the clinical evolution of symptoms in patients admitted with unstable angina is associated with changes in t-plasminogen activator antigen (t-PA) and von Willebrand (vW) factor levels. Concentrations of vW factor antigen and t-PA antigen were measured by an enzyme-linked immunoassay method in 10 patients who became clinically ...

Spectrophotometric analysis of thrombolytic activity: SATA assay [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Measurement of thrombolytic activity i.e. clot lysis is crucial for research and development of novel thrombolytics. It is also a key factor in assessment of the effectiveness of conventionally used thrombolytic agents in the clinic, which ...

JNK suppression is essential for 17β-Estradiol inhibits prostaglandin E2-Induced uPA and MMP-9 expressions and cell migration in human LoVo colon cancer cells

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2011
Background Epidemiological studies demonstrate that the incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer in women are lower than in men. However, it is unknown if 17β-estradiol treatment is sufficient to inhibit prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-induced cellular

Gene expression of fibrinolytic markers in coronary thrombi

Thrombosis Journal, 2022
Background The fibrinolytic system plays an important role in coronary artery atherothrombosis, and especially circulating plasminogen-activator inhibitor (PAI) type 1 (PAI-1) associates with increased mortality, infarct size and heart failure in ...

HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]

, 2015
The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]

, 2009
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.
