چکیده

Fibronectin immobilized onto polystyrene surface was found to bind plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) but only slightly the urokinase type as determined using mono- and polyclonal antibodies against the activators. Of the defined fibronectin fragments tested, the Mr 120,000-140,000 fragment was found to bind both plasminogen and t-PA. Proteolytically modified plasminogen (Lys-plasminogen) bound considerably better than the native form (Glu-plasminogen). Experiments with 125I-plasminogen yielded Kd = 9.1 X 10(-8) M for the binding to immobilized fibronectin. The partially or completely inactive single-chain form of t-PA (pro-t-PA) bound considerably better than the activated two-chain form. Lysine at greater than 3 mM inhibited the binding of plasminogen. The interaction was independent of calcium ions. CaCl2 (greater than 0.5 mM) and NaCl (greater than 0.2 M) inhibited the binding of pro-t-PA and of t-PA. Fibronectin-bound t-PA retained its ability to activate plasminogen. The observed interactions may operate in directional proteolysis localizing plasminogen and plasminogen activator to degrade fibronectin-containing extracellular matrix including fibrin clots.

The extracellular matrix proteins laminin and fibronectin contain binding domains for human plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator.

This study describes the binding of plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) to the extracellular matrix proteins fibronectin and laminin. Plasminogen bound specifically and saturably to both fibronectin and laminin immobilized on microtiter wells, with Kd(app) values of 115 and 18 nM, respectively. Limited proteolysis by endoproteinase V8 coupled with ligand blotting analysis s...

Optimizing refolding condition for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator

Low molecular size additives such as L-arginine and the redox compounds have been used both in the culturemedium and in vitro refolding to increase recombinant proteins production. Additives increase proteinrefolding and yield of active proteins by suppressing aggregate formation or enhancing refolding process.In this work, a comparative study was performed on refolding of rec...

Cytokeratin 8 released by breast carcinoma cells in vitro binds plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator and promotes plasminogen activation.

Cell-surface activation of plasminogen may be important in diseases that involve cellular migration, including atherosclerosis and tumour invasion/metastasis. Cytokeratin 8 (CK 8) has been identified as a plasminogen-binding protein expressed on the external surfaces of hepatocytes and breast carcinoma cells [Hembrough, Vasudevan, Allietta, Glass and Gonias (1995) J. Cell Sci. 108, 1071-1082]. ...

Destruction of Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rtPA) -Loaded Echogenic Liposomes under Dual Frequency Sonication

Background:Echogenic liposomes (ELIPs) encapsulate drugs and gas bubbles within lipid vesicles. The destruction of ELIPs in response to MHz and kHz ultrasound waves has been studied previously. Applying ultrasound above a certain threshold causes encapsulated gas bubbles destruct rapidly by fragmentation or more slowly by acoustically driven diffusion. This study compares the d...
