Regulation and Dysregulation of Thrombin Activity

Southeastern European Medical Journal, 2021
Thrombin is the enzyme of the haemostasis system that stands at the crossroads between the coagulation cascade and coagulation inhibition by protein C, between plasma coagulation factors and cells involved in haemostasis and between haemostasis and the ...

Thrombomodulin-modified thrombin generation after in vivo recombinant factor VIII treatment in severe hemophilia A

Haematologica, 2008
Background Thrombin generation has been shown to reflect coagulation potential and factor VIII (FVIII) levels in patients with hemophilia A. We hypothesize that thrombin generation in the presence of thrombomodulin reflects plasma FVIII levels better ...

Thrombin Protease-activated Receptor-1 Signals through Gq- and G13-initiated MAPK Cascades Regulating c-Jun Expression to Induce Cell Transformation [PDF]

, 2003
Although the ability of G protein-coupled receptors to stimulate normal and aberrant cell growth has been intensely investigated, the precise nature of the molecular mechanisms underlying their transforming potential are still not fully understood.

Myricetin, the main flavonoid in Syzygium cumini leaf, is a novel inhibitor of platelet thiol isomerases PDI and ERp5 [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Flavonoids have been characterized as a prominent class of compounds to treat thrombotic diseases through the inhibition of thiol isomerases. Syzygium cumini is a flavonoid-rich medicinal plant that contains myricetin and gallic acid.

A General, Label-Free and Homogeneous Electrochemical Strategy for Probing of Protease Activity and Screening of Inhibitor

Micromachines, 2022
Proteases play a critical role in regulating various physiological processes from protein digestion to wound healing. Monitoring the activity of proteases and screening their inhibitors as potential drug molecules are of great importance for the early ...

How we treat bleeding associated with direct oral anticoagulants [PDF]

, 2016
Direct oral anticoagulants are at least as effective as vitamin K antagonists for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolism. Unfortunately, differently from vitamin K antagonists, they have the great drawback of lacking specific antidotes in the ...

Inhibition of thrombin, an unexplored function of retinoic acid

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, is known to possess in vivo anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet and fibrinolytic activities. We have investigated the in vitro thrombin and platelet aggregation inhibitory activities of vitamin A (retinol) and its ...

Structural Features and PF4 Functions that Occur in Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) Complicated by COVID-19

Antibodies, 2020
Platelet factor 4 (PF4, CXCL4) is a small chemokine protein released by activated platelets. Although a major physiological function of PF4 is to promote blood coagulation, this cytokine is involved in innate and adaptive immunity in events when ...

Salmon and human thrombin differentially regulate radicular pain, glial-induced inflammation and spinal neuronal excitability through protease-activated receptor-1.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Chronic neck pain is a major problem with common causes including disc herniation and spondylosis that compress the spinal nerve roots. Cervical nerve root compression in the rat produces sustained behavioral hypersensitivity, due in part to the early ...
