Molecular genetic survey of five Japanese families with high-molecular-weight kininogen deficiency.
Analyses of the kininogen (KGN) molecule and KGN gene status in five Japanese families with high-molecular-weight (HMW) KGN deficiency were performed by the immunoblotting method with monoclonal antibodies to HMW-KGN, and by the Southern blotting method with the cDNA for human low-molecular-weight prekininogen. No molecular abnormality of KGN was detected in the DNA from four patients with tota...
متن کاملNeutrophil adhesion on polyurethanes preadsorbed with high molecular weight kininogen.
Interaction of biomaterials with blood components including neutrophils is responsible for some of the clinical complications that have occurred in cardiopulmonary bypass, hemodialysis, and ventricular assist procedures. The possibility of inhibiting the initial adhesion of neutrophils to biomaterials has been studied extensively, but the problem remains unsolved. In this study, we investigated...
متن کاملAn essential role of high-molecular-weight kininogen in endotoxemia
In this study, we show that mice lacking high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) were resistant to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mortality and had significantly reduced circulating LPS levels. Replenishment of HK-deficient mice with human HK recovered the LPS levels and rendered the mice susceptible to LPS-induced mortality. Binding of HK to LPS occurred through the O-polysaccharide/core oligos...
متن کاملInhibition of cell adhesion by high molecular weight kininogen
An anti-cell adhesion globulin was purified from human plasma by heparin-affinity chromatography. The purified globulin inhibited spreading of osteosarcoma and melanoma cells on vitronectin, and of endothelial cells, platelets, and mononuclear blood cells on vitronectin or fibrinogen. It did not inhibit cell spreading on fibronectin. The protein had the strongest antiadhesive effect when preads...
متن کاملDomain 5 of high molecular weight kininogen is antibacterial.
Antimicrobial peptides are important effectors of the innate immune system. These peptides belong to a multifunctional group of molecules that apart from their antibacterial activities also interact with mammalian cells and glycosaminoglycans and control chemotaxis, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Here we demonstrate a novel antimicrobial activity of the heparin-binding and cell-binding domain 5 o...
