Clearing factor inhibitor in human atherosclerosis.

چکیده
A reductioii in leparin-activated clearing factor has been demonistrated in individuals with atheroselerosis or conditions related to it. The recent isolation fromn normal plasmlla of an inhibitor to clearing factor suggested that the reduction described mllight be due to .in increased level of inhibitor. This possibility was therefore investigated by determiiiilug the inhibitor efTect of tile plalols(f atherosclerotic, diabetic, (aid 1iicphitotic individaa 0il tile iu vitro clearinog activity of post-hepai.in lplas'la.

Heparin - Activated Clearing Factor
A possible relationship may exist between the concentration of heparin-activated plasma clearing factor and alterations in lipid metabolism associated with advancing age, atherosclerosis, and other diseases. To test this hypothesis, 121 men were evaluated in the development and application of a standardized in vitro method for the determination of clearing factor response to minimal heparin sti...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species and p38MAPK Have a Role in the Smad2 Linker Region Phosphorylation Induced by TGF-β
Background: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in addition to the C-terminal region can phosphorylate receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads) in their linker region. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of signaling mediators such as NAD(P)H oxidases (reactive oxygen species [ROS] generators), ROS, and ROS-sensitive p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) in this signaling ...
متن کاملThe Inhibition of Lipemia-clearing
It was recently shown in this laboratory (1) that in idiopathic hyperlipemia the elimination of lipids from the blood stream following an intravenous infusion of a fat emulsion is considerably delayed, indicating a defect of the lipemiaclearing mechanism in these patients. It was then found that the clearing activity present in the serum of normal human subjects who have received heparin was in...
متن کاملPlasma-clearing effect of gastric mucin in healthy and atherosclerotic subjects under basal conditions.
Other substances, in addition to the heparin clearing factor, exert a plasma-clearing effect under experimental conditions. A mucin compound extracted from the pig gastric mucosa has recently been included among such substances. Its clearing effect, as evaluated by variations in plasma optical density, is as constant and evident as that of heparin, both in normal and atherosclerotic subjects un...
متن کاملExpression of human tissue factor pathway inhibitor on vascular smooth muscle cells inhibits secretion of macrophage migration inhibitory factor and attenuates atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice.
BACKGROUND Tissue factor (TF) and coagulation proteases are involved in promoting atherosclerosis, but the molecular and cellular bases for their involvement are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated a new strain (ApX4) of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice expressing a membrane-tethered human tissue factor pathway inhibitor fusion protein on smooth muscle actin-positive cells, including vas...
