Bacterial plasminogen activators and receptors.
Invasive bacterial pathogens intervene at various stages and by various mechanisms with the mammalian plasminogen/plasmin system. A vast number of pathogens express plasmin(ogen) receptors that immobilize plasmin(ogen) on the bacterial surface, an event that enhances activation of plasminogen by mammalian plasminogen activators. Bacteria also influence secretion of plasminogen activators and th...
متن کاملPlasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors in endometriosis.
Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign gynecological diseases that affect women. Little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of endometriosis, despite the numerous studies performed in this field. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, the endometrial tissue, after attachment to the peritoneum, has the ability to grow and invade the surrounding tissues. Similar to neoplas...
متن کاملPlasminogen activators. The old and the new.
T hrombosis of a coronary or cerebral artery is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed nations.' The proximate cause is most often atherosclerosis, and the most appropriate intervention is its prevention. Much progress has been made in identifying the risk factors predisposing to atherosclerosis, and, perhaps because of their recognition, a significant decrease in the...
متن کاملEditorial Comment Can Plasminogen Activators Be Improved?
T he widespread application of plasminogen activators in the treatment of myocardial infarction has resulted in a significant reduction in mortality.",2 Most patients have been treated with two very different drugs: streptokinase, a bacterial protein that is the product of fermentation technology dating from the 1930s, and recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA), a human protein t...
متن کاملPlasminogen activators promote excitotoxicity-induced retinal damage.
Increased levels of extracellular l-glutamate have been suggested to play a role in retinal damage in a number of blinding diseases such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Although glutamate can cause retinal damage in part by hyperstimulating its receptors ("excitotoxicity"), the downstream events that lead to retinal damage are poorly understood. In this study, we injected kainic acid (KA)...
