The effect of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 on apoptosis.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), an inhibitor of plasminogen activators, inhibits formation of plasmin and plasmin-mediated proteolysis. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a potentially important phenomenon in mediating overall cell death. This review focuses on the influence of PAI-1 on apoptosis. Greater expression of PAI-1 has been associated with increased survival of ce...
متن کاملPlasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 in Cancer: Rationale and Insight for Future Therapeutic Testing.
Despite its function as an inhibitor of urokinase and tissue-type plasminogen activator (PA), PA inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has a paradoxical protumorigenic role in cancer, promoting angiogenesis and tumor cell survival. In this review, we summarize preclinical evidence in support of the protumorigenic function of PAI-1 that has led to the testing of small-molecule PAI-1 inhibitors, initially develope...
متن کاملRegulation of programmed cell death by plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1).
Elevated levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) are associated with poor prognosis in cancer. An explanation to the elevated levels of PAI-1 could be a protective response to the increased proteolytic activity, caused by elevated levels of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) observed in tumours; however, several lines of evidence suggest that PAI-1 may contribute directly to...
متن کاملLack of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 effect in a transgenic mouse model of metastatic melanoma.
Tumor cell invasion and metastasis is a complex, multistep process that is postulated to require degradation of extracellular matrix at several steps. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is expressed on the cell surface of B16 murine melanoma cells and is thought to contribute to the pericellular proteolysis necessary for tumor cell migration. In vitro modification of B16 melanoma cell s...
متن کاملBinding of urokinase to plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 mediates cell adhesion and spreading.
Urokinase plasminogen activator and its receptor are both found at the surface of the cell membrane in many cell types. The plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is often associated with the extracellular matrix. The spatial localization of these three molecules could account for their involvement in cell adhesion and/or migration. We have shown previously that the urokinase receptor m...
