The endothelial cell annexin A2 system and vascular fibrinolysis.

چکیده
Vascular endothelial cell surface expression of annexin A2 and its binding partner p11 is a key element in maintaining fibrinolytic balance on blood vessel surfaces. In the recent decade, investigators have made significant progress toward understanding the mechanisms that regulate heterotetrameric (A2*p11)(2) receptor translocation from the cytoplasm to the outer cell surface. Accumulating evidence now shows that heterotetrameric (A2*p11)(2) cell surface expression is a dynamic process that modulates plasmin activation during periods of vascular stress or injury, and is independent of the classical endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi pathway. Translocation of heterotetrameric (A2*p11)(2) is facilitated both by src-kinase mediated phosphorylation of A2 at tyrosine 23, and by expression of and partnering with p11. In the absence of A2 both in vivo and in vitro, p11 is expressed at very low levels in endothelial cells, because unpartnered p11 is polyubiquitinated and rapidly degraded through a proteasome-dependent mechanism. A2 directly binds and stabilizes intracellular p11 by masking an autonomous polyubiquitination signal on p11. This modulatory role of A2 binding prevents accumulation of unpartnered p11 within the endothelial cell, and ultimately suggests that the regulation of heterotetrameric (A2*p11)(2) receptor surface expression is precisely attuned to the intracellular level of p11.

Regulation of fibrinolysis by S100A10 in vivo Running title: S100A10 and fibrinolysis
Endothelial cells form the inner lining of vascular networks and maintain blood fluidity by inhibiting blood coagulation and promoting blood clot dissolution (fibrinolysis). Plasmin, the primary fibrinolytic enzyme, is generated by the cleavage of the plasma protein, plasminogen, by its activator, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). This reaction is regulated by plasminogen receptors at the sur...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of endothelial cell surface plasmin generation by PKC-dependent phosphorylation of annexin A2.
In response to blood vessel injury, hemostasis is initiated by platelet activation, advanced by thrombin generation, and tempered by fibrinolysis. The primary fibrinolytic protease, plasmin, can be activated either on a fibrin-containing thrombus or on cells. Annexin A2 (A2) heterotetramer (A2·p11)(2) is a key profibrinolytic complex that assembles plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator a...
متن کاملHomocysteine-mediated thrombosis and angiostasis in vascular pathobiology.
The mechanisms by which homocysteine contributes to atherothrombosis are complex and their in vivo relevance uncertain. In this issue of the JCI, Jacovina and colleagues report a unique in vivo mechanism by which homocysteine may contribute to vascular disease (see the related article beginning on page 3384). This group had previously reported that homocysteine impairs endothelial cell surface ...
متن کاملThrombin induces endothelial cell-surface exposure of the plasminogen receptor annexin 2.
Cell-surface annexin 2 (A2) and its ligand p11 have been implicated in fibrinolysis because of their ability to accelerate tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-mediated activation of plasminogen to plasmin. Because thrombin is a potent cell modulator obligately produced at the site of clot formation, we hypothesized that the amount of cell-surface A2 and p11 might be altered by thrombin with cons...
متن کاملRab3D and annexin A2 play a role in regulated secretion of vWF, but not tPA, from endothelial cells.
von-Willebrand factor (vWF) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) are products of endothelial cells acutely released into the vasculature following cell activation. Both factors are secreted after intraendothelial Ca2+ mobilization, but exhibit opposing physiological effects with vWF inducing coagulation and tPA triggering fibrinolysis. To identify components that could regulate different...
