چکیده

The glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) heparin, heparan sulphate and chondroitin 6-sulphate stimulate the rate of urokinase activation of human plasminogen. Kinetic analysis of plasminogen activation demonstrates that heparin, heparan sulphate and chondroitin 6-sulphate increased the catalytic rate (Kcat) by 5.3-, 3.5- and 2.5-fold respectively. These stimulatory GAGs had no effect on the affinity of urokinase for plasminogen, since the Km of the reaction is unaltered by the GAGs. The GAGs may enhance the rate of plasminogen activation through an interaction with the catalytic domain of the urokinase, with dissociation constants of approx. 30 nM. Additionally, the lipoproteins, lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) inhibit heparin and heparan sulphate stimulation of plasmin formation. Lp(a) is a competitive inhibitor (Kic 20 nM) and LDL is a mixed inhibitor of heparin-enhanced urokinase-mediated plasminogen activation (Kic 24 nM and Kiu 60 nM). These inhibition constants correlate with physiological concentrations of these lipoproteins. These data suggest that these GAGs and lipoproteins may play an important role in vivo in regulating urokinase-mediated plasmin formation.

اثر آنتی بادی های منوکلونال ضد پلاسمینوژن انسانی بر فعال شدن گلو-پلاسمینوژن انسانی بوسیله فعال کننده های پلاسمینوژن

Background: Human plasminogen is a plasma glycoprotein synthesized mainly in the liver. Conversion of plasminogen to plasmin by plasminogen activators is a key event in the fibrinolytic system. In this study, we investigated the effects of two anti-human plasminogen monoclonal antibodies, A1D12 and MC2B8 on Glu-plasminogen activation in presence of u-PA, t-PA and streptokinase. Methods: Produci...

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the emergency department: An update

Background: The biomarker soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an indicator of inflammation which is increased in a variety of chronic and acute disease states. Its most promising application in the emergency setting is to aid in the prognostic stratification of patients by identifying those at high risk of deterioration. This is a narrative review of studies evaluating t...

Plasminogen activation by single-chain urokinase in functional isolation. A kinetic study.

The kinetics of the activation of Glu- and Lys-plasminogen by single-chain urokinase (sc urokinase) derived from the transformed human kidney cell line TCL-598 have been studied and compared with two-chain urokinase (tc urokinase). Plasminogen activation was determined by the increase in fluorescence polarization of fluorescein-labeled aprotinin, a high affinity inhibitor of plasmin. This metho...

Two components of the fibrinolytic system, plasminogen and the vascular plasminogen activator, have been isolated to apparent homogeneity from the post-venous occlusion plasma of three diabetic patients (hemoglobin A1C greater than 7%) and of one nondiabetic control person. Plasminogen activation was studied for each person separately in the absence and presence of CNBr fragments of fibrinogen....
