Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Gene-deficient Mice
Homozygous plasminogen activator inhibitor-i (PAI-1 )-deficient (PAI-1 /-I) mice were generated by homologous recombination in D3 embryonic stem cells. Deletion of the genomic sequences encompassing the transcription initiation site and the entire coding regions of murine PAI-i was demonstrated by Southern blot analysis. A 3.0-kb PAI-i-specific mRNA was identified by Northern blot analysis in l...
متن کاملAP-1-dependent induction of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 by nickel does not require reactive oxygen.
Inhalation of nickel dust has been associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary fibrosis. Nickel may promote fibrosis by transcriptionally activating plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and inhibiting fibrinolysis. The current studies examined whether nickel stimulated the PAI-1 promoter though an oxidant-sensitive activator protein (AP)-1 signaling pathway. Addition of nickel to BEA...
متن کاملSaturation mutagenesis of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 reactive center.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a specific inhibitor of the serine proteases tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). To systematically investigate the roles of the reactive center P1 and P1' residues in PAI-1 function, saturation mutagenesis was utilized to construct a library of PAI-1 variants. Examination of 177 unique recombinant p...
متن کاملNutritionally induced obesity is attenuated in transgenic mice overexpressing plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the role of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in adipose tissue development in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS Transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing murine PAI-1 under control of the adipocyte promoter aP2 and wild-type (WT) controls were kept on standard food (SFD) or on high-fat diet (HFD) for 15 weeks. The body weight and the weight ...
متن کاملSerum Level of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type-1 in Addicted Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a glycoprotein with inhibitory effects on the formation of plasmin from plasminogen by plasminogen activator. Thus, it prevents clot lysis in vessel walls. Several evidences prove the relationship between coronary artery disease and response to fibrinolytic therapy in patients with myocardial infarction with PAI-1 level. Opium addiction i...
