Analysis of Endothelial Protein C Receptor Functionality on Living Cells’
Activated protein C (APC) is a major control system of blood coagulation. APC prevents coagulation pathway by degrading Va and VIIIa plasma's coagulation factors. Protein C activation requires its binding to specific endothelial cell receptor (EPCR). APC binding to EPCR also activates a wide range of defense mechanisms (anti-inflammatory, antiapoptosis...). EPCR expression by cells can be detec...
متن کاملEndothelial cell protein C receptor: role beyond endothelium?
Endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein with homology to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-class 1/CD1 family of molecules.1 EPCR was isolated and cloned as an endothelial cell-specific, high selectivity and high affinity binding protein for protein C (PC) and activated PC (APC).1 EPCR binds PC on the endothelial surface and presents it to the ...
متن کاملThe endothelial cell protein C receptor augments protein C activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex.
Protein C activation on the surface of the endothelium is critical to the negative regulation of blood coagulation. We now demonstrate that monoclonal antibodies that block protein C binding to the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) reduce protein C activation rates by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex on endothelium, but that antibodies that bind to EPCR without blocking protein C bi...
متن کاملEndothelial cell protein C receptor plays an important role in protein C activation in vivo.
Endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) augments protein C activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex about 5-fold in vitro. Augmentation is EPCR concentration dependent even when the EPCR concentration is in excess of the thrombomodulin. EPCR is expressed preferentially on large blood vessel endothelium, raising questions about the importance of protein C-EPCR interaction for augment...
متن کاملActivated protein C inhibits bisphosphonate-induced endothelial cell death via the endothelial protein C receptor and nuclear factor-κB pathways.
Bisphosphonates promote apoptosis of cancer cells as well as osteoclasts in bone metastatic sites, but several clinical trials and high concentration treatment have shown that bisphosphonates have side effects that include bone loss and damage to normal cells. The aim of this study was to elucidate the protective effect and the possible mechanism of activated protein C (APC) against bisphosphon...
