Substrates of Factor XIII-A: roles in thrombosis and wound healing.
FXIII (Factor XIII) is a Ca²+-dependent enzyme which forms covalent ϵ-(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-links between the γ-carboxy-amine group of a glutamine residue and the ϵ-amino group of a lysine residue. FXIII was originally identified as a protein involved in fibrin clot stabilization; however, additional extracellular and intracellular roles for FXIII have been identified which influence thrombu...
متن کاملFactor XIII deficiency causes cardiac rupture, impairs wound healing, and aggravates cardiac remodeling in mice with myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Identification of key molecular players in myocardial healing could lead to improved therapies, reduction of scar formation, and heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). We hypothesized that clotting factor XIII (FXIII), a transglutaminase involved in wound healing, may play an important role in MI given prior clinical and mouse model data. METHODS AND RESULTS To determine w...
متن کاملCachexia - an intrinsic factor in wound healing.
Systemic diseases are intrinsic factors that alter and may impair the wound healing process. Cachexia is a manifestation of systemic, often chronic, diseases and is characterised by systemic inflammation, appetite suppression and skeletal muscle wasting. Anorexia in cachectic states is commonly associated with malnutrition. Malnutrition may cause impaired healing. Therefore, it would follow tha...
متن کاملConcentration-dependent effects of transforming growth factor β1 on corneal wound healing
PURPOSE There is an unmet challenge to promote wound healing in non-healing wounds such as in the post-LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) cornea. Using human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs) in cell culture, we investigated the concentration dependence of the growth factor transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) on wound closure. Although high concentrations of TGFβ1 leads to scarring, we as...
متن کاملConcentration-dependent effects of lidocaine on corneal epithelial wound healing.
Local anesthetic toxicity is a recognized clinical problem that has limited the use of topical corneal anesthetics for pain relief after corneal abrasion. Studies have shown clinically administered concentrations (0.5-2%) of local anesthetics impair corneal reepithelialization. Unfortunately, instillation of local anesthetic drops into an eye does not provide a measurable, steady-state concentr...
