Gene targeting and gene transfer studies of the plasminogen/plasmin system: implications in thrombosis, hemostasis, neointima formation, and atherosclerosis.
The plasminogen/plasmin or fibrinolytic system with its physiological triggers, tissue-type plasminogen activator, and urokinase-type plasminogen activator has been presumed to participate in normal and pathological processes of the vessel wall such as blood clot dissolution (thrombolysis), hemostasis, aneurysm formation, neovascularization, restenosis, and atherosclerosis. The implied role of ...
متن کاملGene targeting in hemostasis. tissue factor.
Tissue factor (TF) is the primary cellular initiator of blood coagulation. At sites of vascular injury, formation of a TF:FVIIa complex leads to the generation of FXa, thrombin and the deposition of fibrin to limit hemorrhage. In contrast to its beneficial role in hemostasis, TF initiates life-threatening intravascular thrombosis in sepsis, atherosclerosis and cancer. More recently, TF has been...
متن کاملDysfunctional platelet membrane receptors: from humans to mice.
Insights into hemostasis and thrombosis have historically benefited from the astute diagnosis of human bleeding and thrombotic disorders followed by decades of careful biochemical characterization. This work has set the stage for the development of a number of mouse models of hemostasis and thrombosis generated by gene targeting strategies in the mouse genome. The utility of these models is the...
متن کاملGene targeting in hemostasis. plasminogen.
A number of in vitro and in vivo observations have implicated plasminogen in contributing to events associated with diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes. The development of gene knockout technology has led to the generation of plasminogen deficient mice. These mice survive to adulthood and are thus a valuable resource for directly assessing its role in these processes. As a re...
متن کاملZinc Finger Protein, Hzf, Is Required for Megakaryocyte Development and Hemostasis
Using an expression gene trapping strategy, we recently identified a novel gene, hematopoietic zinc finger (Hzf), which encodes a protein containing three C(2)H(2)-type zinc fingers that is predominantly expressed in megakaryocytes. Here, we have examined the in vivo function of Hzf by gene targeting and demonstrated that Hzf is essential for megakaryopoiesis and hemostasis in vivo. Hzf-deficie...
