Endothelial APC/PAR1 distinctly regulates cytokine-induced pro-inflammatory VCAM-1 expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Introduction: Dysfunction of the endothelium impairs its’ protective role and promotes inflammation and progression of vascular diseases. Activated Protein C (APC) elicits endothelial cytoprotective responses including barrier stabilization, anti ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Thrombin-induced changes in syndecan ectodomain proteins from ex vivo human lung.

open access: yes, 2019
ELISA was performed to measure the concentration of each of the syndecan ectodomains in the supernatant of fresh human lung slices treated with vehicle or thrombin.

TAK-442, a Direct Factor Xa Inhibitor, Inhibits Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 Production in Endothelial Cells via Involvement of Protease-Activated Receptor 1

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Oral blood coagulation inhibitors and their receptors, such as factor Xa (FXa), thrombin, and the thrombin receptor protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), are entered into clinical trials for acute coronary syndrome therapy; however, the results obtained ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Novel Thrombolytic Drug Based on Thrombin Cleavable Microplasminogen Coupled to a Single‐Chain Antibody Specific for Activated GPIIb/IIIa

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundThrombolytic therapy for acute thrombosis is limited by life‐threatening side effects such as major bleeding and neurotoxicity. New treatment options with enhanced fibrinolytic potential are therefore required.

New High-Affinity Thrombin Aptamers for Advancing Coagulation Therapy: Balancing Thrombin Inhibition for Clot Prevention and Effective Bleeding Management with Antidote

open access: yesCells, 2023
Thrombin is a key enzyme involved in blood clotting, and its dysregulation can lead to thrombotic diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and deep vein thrombosis.

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.

Thrombin-Induced Responses via Protease-Activated Receptor 1 Blocked by the Endothelium on Isolated Porcine Retinal Arterioles

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: Thrombin, a serine protease, causes organ-specific responses to vessels. However, the mechanism by which thrombin affects the retinal microcirculation remains unclear.

Mice lacking protease nexin-1 show delayed structural and functional recovery after sciatic nerve crush [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Multiple molecular mechanisms influence nerve regeneration. Because serine proteases were shown to affect peripheral nerve regeneration, we performed nerve crush experiments to study synapse reinnervation in adult mice lacking the serpin protease nexin-1
