35 8200293 Plasma t-PA and PAI-1 antigen concentrations in non-insulin dependent diabetic patients: implication for diabetic retinopathy.
36 8200293 Parameters of fibrinolysis, including basal plasma tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) antigen levels were studied in 49 non-insulin dependent diabetic patients (23 men, 26 women: ages 51.3 +/- 14.9 years) and 16 age matched non-diabetic subjects (9 men, 7 women ages 49.8 +/- 12.2 years) as a control group.
37 8200293 Compared to a control group, the diabetic patients had a significantly higher mean plasma t-PA antigen (4.94 +/- 2.68 vs 3.20 +/- 2.30 ng/ml) and PAI-1 antigen (34.86 +/- 16.71 vs. 17.60 +/- 15.36 ng/ml) levels (P < 0.05).
38 8200293 Significant univariate correlations were observed between t-PA and body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.0009, r = 0.7217), and PAI-1 were positively correlated with BMI and FBS (fasting blood sugar) in the total diabetic patients (P = 0.0003, r = 0.7217; P = 0.0477, r = 0.2858, respectively).

42 8241103 Because of the frequent occurrence of premature cardiovascular disease in patients with non-insulin-dependent, type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), the attenuated fibrinolytic activity of plasma from type II diabetic patients with increased concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), and the fact that insulin stimulates synthesis of PAI-1 by human hepatic cells in vitro, we and others have hypothesized that accelerated vascular disease in type II diabetes may result in part from impaired fibrinolysis secondary to excessive elaboration of PAI-1 stimulated by insulin.
43 8241103 Secretion of PAI-1 by highly differentiated human hepatoma (Hep G2) cells did not increase as a function of increasing concentrations of glucose, whether or not insulin was present.

86 9126661 Elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) activity has been shown to correlate with plasma insulin, proinsulin-like molecules, serum triglycerides and insulin sensitivity in both non-insulin dependent diabetic (NIDDM) subjects and subjects with coronary heart disease.
87 9126661 In univariate analysis, there were significant correlations of PAI-1 activity with intact and des-31,32-proinsulin and serum triglycerides in non-diabetic subjects with (r = 0.52, P = 0.001; r = 0.58, P < 0.001; r = 0.41, P = 0.010) and without (r = 0.31, P = 0.056; r = 0.46, P = 0.006; r = 0.41, P = 0.011) MI, but not with plasma insulin or insulin sensitivity.

95 9133556 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) contributes to the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis.
96 9133556 Its plasma level is strongly correlated with parameters that define the insulin resistance syndrome, in particular with BMI and visceral accumulation of body fat, suggesting that PAI-1 may be an adipose tissue-derived circulating peptide.
97 9133556 PAI-1 protein detected by immunolocalization was present at the stromal and adipocyte levels.
98 9133556 Transforming growth factor-beta1 significantly increased PAI-1 antigen production by the adipocyte fraction, whereas tumor necrosis factor-alpha did not have any effect.
99 9133556 Interestingly, after 5 h of incubation, omental tissue explants produced significantly more PAI-1 antigen than did subcutaneous tissue from the same individual, whereas similar production of leptin by the two territories was observed.
100 9179544 Lipoprotein(a), tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels in hyperlipidaemic patients in Kuwait.
101 9179544 Plasma levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) were assessed in addition to anthropometry and levels of glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and apo A1 and B in 73 patients (36 men and 37 women) with primary hyperlipidaemia (group NDHL) in Kuwait.
102 9179544 Lp(a) levels (212 mg L-1, 8-600 mg L-1, median and range) were similar to those obtained in a matched group of 32 non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients with hyperlipidaemia (218 mg L-1, 50-610 mg L-1) and slightly higher, although not significantly so (P = 0.06), than levels seen in 68 healthy normolipidaemic control subjects (182 mg L-1, 70-488 mg L-1). tPA levels (8.4 ng mL-1, 3.8-18.4 ng mL-1, median and range) in group NDHL were lower than in the diabetic group (11.4 ng mL-1, 5.2-14.2 ng mL-1) but higher than in the healthy control subjects (7.4 ng mL-1, 2.8-12.6 ng mL-1).
103 9179544 Hyperlipidaemia phenotype (hypercholesterolaemia or hypertriglyceridaemia) did not influence tPA and PAI-1 levels, but Lp(a) levels were significantly lower with hypertriglyceridaemia.
104 9179544 Gender, cigarette smoking and racial origin (Kuwaitis, other Arabs or South Asians) did not affect Lp(a), tPA and PAI-1 levels, but tPA levels were higher in postmenopausal subjects.
105 9179544 PAI-1 levels correlated with tPA and triglyceride (TG) levels in the groups of subjects (normo- and hyperlipidaemic).
106 9179544 In the normolipidaemic control group, the significant associations of tPA and PAI-1 were with body mass, expressed as the body mass index or the waist-hip ratio.
107 9179544 These results suggest that different factors influence the plasma levels of the prothrombotic factors Lp(a), tPA and PAI-1 in healthy control subjects and in patients with hyperlipidaemia.
108 9179544 In the latter, hyperlipidaemia phenotype, age, glycaemic status and uric acid levels are important determinants of the levels of these prothrombotic variables, whereas in the healthy, young control population, body mass was the single important association with tPA and PAI-1.
109 9187410 Albuminuria is directly associated with increased plasma PAI-1 and factor VII levels in NIDDM patients.
110 9187410 Increased plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), coagulation factor VII (FVII) and fibrinogen levels have been recognized as risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
111 9187410 Because a substantially high incidence of cardiovascular disease has been reported in diabetic patients with nephropathy compared with those without nephropathy, we measured plasma levels of PAI-1, FVII activity and fibrinogen in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients (NIDDM) with normoalbuminuria (without nephropathy), microalbuminuria (incipient nephropathy) and macroalbuminuria (overt nephropathy).
112 9187410 Univariate regression analysis indicated that PAI-1 and FVII levels were significantly correlated with the albumin excretion rate (AER) in urine.
113 9187410 PAI-1, FVII and fibrinogen levels were significantly correlated with the degree of insulin resistance estimated by the steady state plasma glucose concentration (SSPG) during the continuous infusion of glucose, insulin and octreotide.
114 9187410 These results suggest that elevated plasma levels of PAI-1 and FVII in NIDDM patients with nephropathy are directly associated with renal damage, whereas insulin resistance widely regulates hemostatic components in NIDDM patients, irrespective of the presence of nephropathy.
115 9258277 All subjects were tested on the following parameters: fibrinogen, factor VII, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2), thrombin-antithrombin III complexes (TAT), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen (Ag) before and after venous occlusion (VO), and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) activity pre- and post-VO.
116 9258277 At baseline, obese nondiabetic subjects, lean NIDDM patients, and especially obese NIDDM patients displayed significantly (P < .01) higher levels of fibrinogen, factor VII, F1 + 2, TAT, t-PA(Ag) pre-VO, and PAI-1 pre- and post-VO and significantly (P < .01) lower levels of t-PA(Ag) post-VO.
117 9258277 In obese NIDDM patients treated with heparin fibrinogen, factor VII, F1 + 2, TAT, t-PA(Ag) pre-VO, and PAI-1 pre- and post-VO levels significantly (P < .01) decreased and t-PA(Ag) post-VO levels significantly (P < .01) increased at the end of treatment.
118 9498646 Increased concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) in blood and attenuated fibrinolytic activity, hypertriglyceridaemia, and insulin resistance are common in subjects with obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who are at markedly increased risk for coronary artery disease.
119 9498646 Positive correlations were observed between blood PAI-1 and both insulin and triglycerides.
120 9737940 Augmentation of arterial endothelial cell expression of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) gene by proinsulin and insulin in vivo.
121 9737940 We have shown previously that insulin and proinsulin-typically elevated in blood in patients with type II diabetes-increase plasma activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1)in vivo.
122 9737940 Within 3 h plasma PAI-1 activity increased from 1.15+/-1.34 to 11.33+/-4.30 AU/ml with insulin (mean+/-s.d., P=0.015) and from 2.83+/-0.74 to 15.43+/-4.70 AU/ml with proinsulin (P=0.035).

124 9737940 We have shown previously that insulin and proinsulin-typically elevated in blood in patients with type II diabetes-increase plasma activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1)in vivo.
125 9737940 Within 3 h plasma PAI-1 activity increased from 1.15+/-1.34 to 11.33+/-4.30 AU/ml with insulin (mean+/-s.d., P=0.015) and from 2.83+/-0.74 to 15.43+/-4.70 AU/ml with proinsulin (P=0.035).
126 9763537 Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the major plasminogen activator responsible for dissolving blood clots found in blood vessels.
127 9763537 In addition, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) activity was found to be significantly and positively associated with tPA antigen concentration (P<0.001).
128 9763537 A multivariate analysis identified chronic low-dose aspirin therapy (P<0.001), PAI-1 activity (P<0.001), hypertriglyceridemia (P=0.005), the type of angina (P=0.026), multivessel disease (P=0.041), and hypercholesterolemia (P=0.043) as significant and independent determinants of tPA antigen.
129 9763537 The relation of tPA antigen to PAI-1 activity furthermore underlines the relation between tPA antigen concentration and a prothrombotic state.
130 9801931 A significant relationship between plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 and lipoprotein(a) in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus without complications.
131 9801931 We previously found a relationship between plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 and lipoprotein(a) in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and hypothesized that this could be due to a compensatory mechanism able to lower the risk of hypofibrinolysis found in type II diabetes mellitus.
132 9801931 The aims of the present study were: (1) to confirm the association between plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 and lipoprotein(a) in a different group of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients and (2) to investigate whether the association could be related to diabetic complications.

139 9819414 Sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) is a protein that binds to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and is proposed to play a role in directing EGF receptors to lysosomes for degradation (R.
140 9819414 We have obtained full-length cDNAs and deduced the amino acid sequences of three novel homologous proteins, which were denoted human sorting nexins (SNX2, SNX3, and SNX4).
141 9819414 Human SNX1 (522 amino acids), SNX1A (457 amino acids), SNX2 (519 amino acids), SNX3 (162 amino acids), and SNX4 (450 amino acids) are part of a larger family of hydrophilic molecules including proteins identified in Caenorhabditis elegans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
142 9819414 When expressed in COS7 cells, epitope-tagged sorting nexins SNX1, SNX1A, SNX2, and SNX4 coimmunoprecipitated with receptor tyrosine kinases for EGF, platelet-derived growth factor, and insulin.
143 9819414 Interestingly, endogenous COS7 transferrin receptors associated exclusively with SNX1 and SNX1A, while SNX3 was not found to associate with any of the receptors studied.
144 9826215 Compared with six normal-weight subjects (BMI, 21.0+/-0.9 kg/m2), all obese subjects exhibited basal hyperinsulinism (fasting plasma insulin, 16.0+/-1.4 v 9.8+/-1.3 microU/microL, P < .001; fasting plasma C-peptide, 1.4+/-0.2 v 0.5+/-0.2 ng/mL, P < .001), hypofibrinolysis (euglobulin lysis time [ELT], 378+/-29 v 222+/-31 minutes, P=.01; tissue plasminogen activator [tPA] antigen, 7.8+/-0.9 v 4.2+/-0.5 ng/mL, P=.04; plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 [PAI-1] activity, 22.2+/-2.5 v3.9+/-0.6 AU/mL, P=.004), and marked insulin resistance (M value, ie, the maximal glucose disposal rate, 9.1+/-0.6 v 18.6+/-0.8 mg/(kg x min), P < .001).
145 10342820 Furthermore, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) activity, tissue plasminogen activator antigen levels, von Willebrand factor antigen levels, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) activity, and endothelin-1 levels were measured.
146 10342820 TFPI activity was elevated, and PAI-1 activity was reduced in the type 1 diabetic patients.
147 10342820 Furthermore, PAI-1 activity was positively correlated with urinary albumin excretion (r = 0.48, P < 0.01) and inversely correlated with the vasodilatory response to the highest ACh dose (r = -0.37, P < 0.05).
148 10417739 The potential influence of insulin and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 on the formation of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques associated with type 2 diabetes.
149 10417739 Insulin-resistant states, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, are associated with increased concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) in blood and in extracted coronary atheroma, as well as with an increased incidence of acute coronary syndromes, known to be precipitated by the rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.
150 10417739 The potential influence of insulin and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 on the formation of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques associated with type 2 diabetes.
151 10417739 Insulin-resistant states, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, are associated with increased concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) in blood and in extracted coronary atheroma, as well as with an increased incidence of acute coronary syndromes, known to be precipitated by the rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.
152 10578022 In all patients levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, lipoprotein (a) (Lpa) C reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, thrombin/antithrombin III complex (TAT), plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1(PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and von Willebrand antigen were measured.
153 10578022 After H. pylori eradication, the levels of CRP and TAT decreased (48+/-0.7 ng/l vs 3.3+/-0.4 ng/l;P << 0.05), (27.7+/-44.7 microg/ml vs 2.1+/-1.4 microg/ml, P << 0.05), respectively.
154 10578022 Eradication of H. pylori infection in type 1 diabetic patients modifies some parameters of lipid and haemostasis patterns, (increase of HDL-cholesterol, reduction of Lpa and decrease of CRP and TAT) and so contributes to improvement of cardiovascular risk factors in these patients.
155 10588459 Increased factor VIIc (FVIIc) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels may lead to a thrombotic state and subsequently to a higher risk of myocardial infarction.
156 10664320 While abnormalities in plasma fibrinolytic activity have been described in diabetic retinopathy, platelets (a rich source of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, PAI-1) have received little attention.
157 10715368 Measurements of fasting triglycerides and antigen concentrations of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) were also included.
158 10715368 No consistent correlation between insulin sensitivity and triglycerides, t-PA, or PAI-1 were demonstrated before or during treatment.
159 10715368 We conclude that the treatments were followed by a compensated decrease in insulin sensitivity that was unrelated to changes in triglycerides, t-PA, or PAI-1 antigen.
160 10770198 Troglitazone, a novel oral insulin sensitizer, normalizes increased plasma activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) in hyperinsulinemic patients such as women with polycystic ovary syndrome and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
161 10770198 The accumulation depended on the concentration of troglitazone, but not that of insulin (known to stimulate PAI-1 synthesis).
162 10770198 By contrast, in human aortic smooth muscle cells, 3 microg/mL troglitazone decreased basal PAI-1 expression by 23% (P = 0.037) and decreased transforming growth factor-beta-induced expression by 34% (P = 0.026).
163 10770198 In human endothelial cells, PAI-1 was diminished by 32% (P < 0.001), whereas tissue-type plasminogen activator was unaffected.
164 10782561 Previously, we found a relationship between plasminogen activator inhibitor Type 1 (PAI-1) and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without complications.
165 10798278 Endogenous fibrinolytic activity is predominantly regulated by the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1).
166 10798278 In addition, endothelial cells synthesize and secrete substantial amounts of plasminogen activators and their inhibitor PAI-1.
167 10855561 Cytokines and oxygen-centered free radicals implicated in insulin resistance stimulate adipocyte and endothelial production of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), the primary physiologic inhibitor of fibrinolysis, in vitro.
168 10855561 In obese hyperinsulinemic animal models simulating insulin resistance, plasma PAI-1 activity is increased.
169 10855561 Blood t-PA antigen differed as well, yet basal endogenous fibrinolytic activity was decreased because of the high PAI-1 activity.
170 10855561 The increased PAI-1 level was associated with increased levels of immunoreactive insulin (IRI).
171 10855561 These results indicate that adipocyte overproduction of PAI-1 by insulin induces decreased endogenous fibrinolytic activity and contributes to the accelerated coronary macroangiopathy in hyperinsulinemic obese subjects with insulin resistance.
172 11085978 We have identified a novel 342-amino acid residue sorting nexin, SNX15, and a 252-amino acid splice variant, SNX15A.
173 11085978 The phox homology domain of SNX15 is required for its membrane association and for association with the platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
174 11085978 We did not detect association of SNX15 with receptors for epidermal growth factor or insulin.
175 11085978 However, overexpression of SNX15 led to a decrease in the processing of insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors to their mature subunits.
176 11085978 Immunofluorescence studies showed that SNX15 overexpression resulted in mislocalization of furin, the endoprotease responsible for cleavage of insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors.
177 11105969 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), the most important physiological fibrinolysis inhibitor, is considered an independent factor of cardiovascular risk in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
178 11116074 The increased expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is associated with increased concentrations of fatty acids in blood and may accelerate atherogenesis in diabetes.
179 11129405 In type II diabetes mellitus the activity of the endogenous fibrinolytic system is reduced secondary to increased plasma activity of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1).
180 11208079 Overexpression of a novel sorting nexin, SNX15, affects endosome morphology and protein trafficking.
181 11208079 Sorting nexin (SNX) 15 is a novel member of the SNX family of proteins.
182 11208079 Although the functions of most SNXs have not yet been determined, several family members (e.g., SNX1, SNX2, SNX3, and SNX8) are orthologs of yeast proteins involved in protein trafficking.
183 11208079 Overexpression of a novel sorting nexin, SNX15, affects endosome morphology and protein trafficking.
184 11208079 Sorting nexin (SNX) 15 is a novel member of the SNX family of proteins.
185 11208079 Although the functions of most SNXs have not yet been determined, several family members (e.g., SNX1, SNX2, SNX3, and SNX8) are orthologs of yeast proteins involved in protein trafficking.
186 11238525 We measured intranuclear NFkappaB, total cellular NFkappaB, inhibitor kappaB (IkappaB)alpha, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and p47(phox) subunit (a key component protein of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase) in MNC.
187 11238525 Plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin (IL)-10 (antiinflammatory cytokine) concentrations were also measured as mediators of inflammatory activity that are regulated by the proinflammatory transcription factor NFkappaB.
188 11238525 MNC were separated; and the levels of intranuclear NFkappaB, total cellular NFkappaB, IkappaBalpha, and p47 (phox) subunit and ROS generation were determined.
189 11238525 Plasma was used to measure insulin glucose, TNFalpha, sICAM, MCP-1, PAI-1, CRP, and IL-10.
190 11238525 There was a fall in intranuclear NFkappaB, total cellular NFkappaB, and p47 (phox) subunit, with an increase in cellular IkappaBalpha at week 2, which persisted until week 4.
191 11238525 Plasma TNF-alpha, sICAM-1, MCP-1, and PAI-1 concentrations fell significantly at week 4.
192 11238525 Plasma IL-10 concentration increased significantly, whereas plasma CRP concentrations decreased.
193 11259926 The plasma levels of many clotting factors including fibrinogen, factor VII, factor VIII, factor XI, factor XII, kallikrein, and von Willebrand factor are elevated in diabetes.
194 11259926 The fibrinolytic system, the primary means of removing clots, is relatively inhibited in diabetes due to abnormal clot structures that are more resistant to degradation and an increase in plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1).
195 11259926 Increased circulating platelet aggregates, increased platelet aggregation in response to platelet agonists, increased platelet contractile force (PCF), and the presence of higher plasma levels of platelet release products, such as beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, and thromboxane B(2), demonstrate platelet hyperactivity in diabetes.
196 11383676 Nevertheless, in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) a profound reduction in the fibrinolytic activity has been demonstrated to be involved in vascular complications, probably due to plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) overproduction.
197 11383676 Significant differences were found for PAI-1 antigen (p=0.006), PAI-1 activity (p=0.028), apolipoprotein B (p=0.015) and antioxidant defence, evaluated as ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) values (p=0.005).
198 11423472 Transcriptional regulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 gene by insulin: insights into the signaling pathway.
199 11423472 Impairment of the fibrinolytic system, caused primarily by increases in the plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) type 1, are frequently found in diabetes and the insulin-resistance syndrome.
200 11423472 Among the factors responsible for the increases of PAI-1, insulin has recently attracted attention.
201 11423472 In this study, we analyzed the effects of insulin on PAI-1 biosynthesis in HepG2 cells, paying particular attention to the signaling network evoked by this hormone.
202 11423472 Experiments performed in CHO cells overexpressing the insulin receptor indicate that insulin increases PAI-1 gene transcription through interaction with its receptor.
203 11423472 By using inhibitors of the different signaling pathways evoked by insulin-receptor binding, it has been shown that the biosynthesis of PAI-1 is due to phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activation, followed by protein kinase C and ultimately by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 phosphorylation.
204 11423472 Transfection of HepG2 cells with several truncations of the PAI-1 promoter coupled to a CAT gene allowed us to recognize two major response elements located in the regions between -804 and -708 and between -211 and -54.
205 11423472 Electrophoretic mobility shift assay identified three binding sites for insulin-induced factors, all colocalized with putative Sp1 binding sites.
206 11423472 Using supershifting antibodies, the binding of Sp1 could only be confirmed at the binding site located just upstream from the transcription start site of the PAI-1 promoter.
207 11423472 A construct comprising four tandem repeat copies of the -93/-62 region of the PAI-1 promoter linked to CAT was transcriptionally activated in HepG2 cells by insulin.
208 11423472 These results outline the central role of MAP kinase activation in the regulation of PAI-1 induced by insulin.
209 11498469 Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) increases in diabetes, and this might contribute to decreased fibrinolysis and accelerated atherosclerosis.
210 11567664 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is known to contribute to thrombus formation and to the development and the clinical course of acute and chronic cardiovascular disease, as well as of other arterial and venous thromboembolic diseases.
211 11567664 PAI-1 plasma levels depend on the one hand on gene regulation but are related on the other hand to known risk factors of atherosclerosis like insulin resistance, diabetes or hypertriglyceridemia, respectively.
212 11567664 Furthermore, an activated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) significantly contributes to the upregulation of PAI-1 concentration via a receptor-mediated mechanism.
213 11567664 In accordance to the known mechanisms of regulation of PAI-1 plasma levels, the use of specific agents like antidiabetic drugs, fibrates, statins, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II type-1 receptor-blockers may contribute to the downregulation of circulating PAI-1 and, therefore, increase the fibrinolytic capacity and consecutively counteract the thrombotic tendency.
214 11567664 To further improve the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy, a PAI-1 resistant variant of t-PA, TNK-t-PA, has been developed and is now available for acute myocardial infarction.
215 11607880 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), an inhibitor of fibrinolysis and an important and independent cardiovascular risk factor, has been shown to be elevated in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
216 11607880 Visceral fat correlated significantly with PAI-1 activity, even after correction for insulin and triglycerides (r = 0.28, p = 0.034).
217 11991197 We have shown that both free fatty acids (FFA) and triglycerides (TG) increase expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) in vivo and in vitro.
218 12728597 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), the main human regulator of endogenous fibrinolysis, is considered to be an important cardiovascular risk factor.
219 12861268 Some recent discoveries have made it evident that this is a very active endocrine tissue that secretes important molecules related to different processes such as the immune response (TNF alpha) the regulation of food intake and expenditure of energy (leptin, Acrp30/adipoQ) and the vascular function (angiotensin and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1).
220 14557472 We evaluated the association of hemostatic factors with insulin resistance in relation to reproductive hormones including FSH, estradiol, testosterone, and SHBG.
221 14557472 We measured the hemostatic factors, fibrinogen, factor VIIc, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), as well as glucose and insulin to calculate insulin resistance.
222 14557472 After adjustment for body mass index, site, and ethnicity, SHBG was correlated with PAI-1 (partial r = -0.30) and t-PA (partial r = -0.12).
223 14557472 Although testosterone was associated with t-PA (partial r = 0.13) and PAI-1 (partial r = 0.07), free androgen index was strongly correlated with t-PA (partial r = 0.18) and PAI-1 (partial r = 0.26).
224 14557472 SHBG modified the association of hemostatic factors with insulin resistance.
225 14557472 Women with greater insulin resistance had lower SHBG and higher PAI-1.
226 14557472 SHBG, which influences the amount of bioavailable hormone, significantly modified the association of PAI-1 and t-PA with insulin resistance.
227 14581151 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma mediated inhibition of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 production and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
228 14581151 The diabetic milieu elevates the production of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and also increases the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.
229 14581151 Therefore, the effect of PPARgamma was investigated to determine if it plays an important role in PAI-1 production and cellular proliferation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).
230 14581151 In conclusion, PPARgamma can reduce PAI-1 production in HUVEC directly by transcriptional repression, and may play a beneficial role in preventing cardiovascular events.
231 14581151 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma mediated inhibition of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 production and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
232 14581151 The diabetic milieu elevates the production of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and also increases the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.
233 14581151 Therefore, the effect of PPARgamma was investigated to determine if it plays an important role in PAI-1 production and cellular proliferation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).

235 14626649 These include tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), leptin, resistine and adiponectin.
236 14626649 Adiponectin (also referred to as AdipoQ, Acrp 30, apM1 or GBP28) is a novel adipose-specific protein.
237 14626649 Adiponectin is a peculiar adipocytokine because in contrast to the markedly increased levels of many others, as leptin or TNF-alpha, its level is reduced in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
238 14626649 The administration of thiazolidinediones, which are synthetic PPARs-gamma ligands, significantly increases the plasma adiponectin concentrations, an effect that could improve insulin sensitivity.
239 14626649 Thus, the administration of adiponectin may provide a novel treatment modality for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
240 14671398 We found plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 and heparin binding EGF-like growth factor.
241 14671398 We found a unique and novel collagen-like protein, adiponectin, encoded by the most abundantly expressed gene in adipose tissue, termed APM1 (adipose most abundant gene transcript-1).
242 14671398 Adiponectin knockout mice showed severe insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism when fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet.
243 14681304 Two polymorphisms related to thrombosis (an arg353gln polymorphism in the factor VII gene and a T11053G polymorphism in the plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 gene) and one related to lipid metabolism [a C(-482)T polymorphism in the apolipoprotein CIII gene] achieved nominal significance, but were not found to be independent predictors after multiple comparison adjustment.
244 15069077 Oxidative stress activates the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) promoter through an AP-1 response element and cooperates with insulin for additive effects on PAI-1 transcription.
245 15069077 We previously identified an insulin response element in the promoter of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) that was activated by an unidentified member of the forkhead/winged helix (Fox) family of transcription factors.
246 15069077 Mutational analysis of the PAI-1 promoter revealed that oxidative stress acted at an AP-1 site at -60/52 of the promoter.
247 15069077 Gel mobility shift analysis demonstrated that binding to an AP-1 oligonucleotide was increased 4-fold by oxidative stress.
248 15069077 Finally, JNK/SAPK activity was found to increase in response to oxidants, and inhibition of JNK/SAP blocked TBHQ-increased PAI-1-luciferase expression.
249 15069077 Thus, oxidative stress stimulated AP-1 and activated the PAI-1 promoter.
250 15116265 Adiponectin is inversely related to plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 in patients with stable exertional angina.
251 15116265 Adiponectin has antiatherogenic properties while plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is closely involved in the development of atherosclerosis.
252 15116265 The relationship between adiponectin and PAI-1 in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been clarified.
253 15116265 This study examined plasma levels of adiponectin and PAI-1 in 64 patients with stable exertional angina (SEA) and 65 patients with the chest pain syndrome (CPS).
254 15116265 Plasma log-adiponectin levels correlated negatively with diabetes mellitus (DM), body mass index (BMI), log-PAI-1 (r=-0.284, p<0.001), triglyceride (TG), and remnant-like particles cholesterol (RLP-C), and positively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.
255 15116265 Adiponectin is inversely related to PAI-1.
256 15116265 DM, BMI,TG, HDL-C, and RLP-C are common mediators between adiponectin and PAI-1, and treatment for common mediators may prevent the development of CAD by reducing PAI-1 and increasing adiponectin levels.
257 15116265 Adiponectin is inversely related to plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 in patients with stable exertional angina.
258 15116265 Adiponectin has antiatherogenic properties while plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is closely involved in the development of atherosclerosis.
259 15116265 The relationship between adiponectin and PAI-1 in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been clarified.
260 15116265 This study examined plasma levels of adiponectin and PAI-1 in 64 patients with stable exertional angina (SEA) and 65 patients with the chest pain syndrome (CPS).
261 15116265 Plasma log-adiponectin levels correlated negatively with diabetes mellitus (DM), body mass index (BMI), log-PAI-1 (r=-0.284, p<0.001), triglyceride (TG), and remnant-like particles cholesterol (RLP-C), and positively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.
262 15116265 Adiponectin is inversely related to PAI-1.
263 15116265 DM, BMI,TG, HDL-C, and RLP-C are common mediators between adiponectin and PAI-1, and treatment for common mediators may prevent the development of CAD by reducing PAI-1 and increasing adiponectin levels.
264 15334791 Both glimepiride and metformin lowered plasminogen activator inhibitor Type 1 (PAI-1) at 12 months and significantly improved levels of glycosylated haemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose and post-prandial plasma glucose after 6 and 12 months.
265 15543316 The importance of obtaining insight in the structure/function relationship in the serpin plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 can be understood from the major role PAI-1 plays in different (patho)physiological processes, mainly because of its involvement in the plasminogen/plasmin system.
266 15543316 Furthermore, PAI-1 also inhibits u-PA, attributing a role in phenomena such as cell migration and tissue remodelling.
267 15575342 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and increases in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

289 16968709 The orphan nuclear receptor Rev-erb alpha regulates circadian expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1.
290 16968709 Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is a major physiologic regulator of the fibrinolytic system and has recently gained recognition as a modulator of inflammation and atherosclerosis.
291 16968709 We discovered that the orphan nuclear receptor Rev-erb alpha, a core component of the circadian loop, represses human PAI-1 gene expression through two Rev-erb alpha binding sites in the PAI-1 promoter.
292 16968709 Furthermore, glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta) contributes to pai-1 repression by phosphorylating and stabilizing Rev-erb alpha protein, which can be blocked by lithium.
293 16968709 Ectopic expression of a stabilized form of Rev-erb alpha that mimics GSK3beta phosphorylation dramatically dampened PAI-1 circadian oscillations.

299 17395738 Adiponectin mRNA expression was decreased, and mRNA of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated protein, was significantly increased in adipose tissue of obese mice.
300 17395738 In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, hypoxia dysregulated the expression of adipocytokines, such as adiponectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1, and increased the mRNAs of ER stress marker genes, CHOP and GRP78 (glucose-regulated protein, 78 kD).
301 17395738 Expression of CHOP attenuated adiponectin promoter activity, and RNA interference of CHOP partly reversed hypoxia-induced suppression of adiponectin mRNA expression in adipocytes.

305 18177924 The increased risk of thrombotic events associated with disease states such as diabetes and hypertension has been correlated with elevated circulating levels of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1).
306 18177924 Using a tPA capture assay to quantify active PAI-1 in rat or human plasma, neither WAY140312, nor Tiplaxtinin attained 50% inhibition of PAI-1 activity at the highest concentration tested (1 mM); S35225 has an IC50 value of 194+/-30 microM against active rat PAI-1 and 260+/-41 microM against active human PAI-1.
307 18177924 The ability of the compounds to inhibit endogenous active PAI-1 in the rat following intravenous administration was also tested using the tPA capture assay.
308 18177924 In contrast to Tiplaxtinin and WAY140312, S35225 is a direct inhibitor of PAI-1 activity in vitro in rat and human plasmas where vitronectin is constitutively present as well as in vivo in the blood after an intravenous administration in the rat.
309 18180317 Glucagon-like peptide-1 attenuates tumour necrosis factor-alpha-mediated induction of plasminogen [corrected] activator inhibitor-1 expression.
310 18180317 Elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 [corrected] (PAI-1) levels have been implicated in endothelial cell dysfunction.
311 18180317 The effect of GLP-1 on PAI-1 expression in vascular endothelial cells has not been explored.
312 18180317 In a spontaneously transformed human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) line, C11-spontaneously transformed HUVEC (STH) and primary HUVEC cells, GLP-1 treatment, in the presence of a dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor, attenuated induction of PAI-1 protein and mRNA expression by tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).
313 18180317 GLP-1 also inhibited the effect of TNF-alpha on a reporter gene construct harbouring the proximal PAI-1 promoter.
314 18180317 In addition, GLP-1 attenuated TNF-alpha-mediated induction of Nur77 mRNA and TNF-alpha-mediated binding of nuclear proteins (NPs) to the PAI-1, Nur77, cis-acting response element nerve growth factor induced clone B response element (NBRE).
315 18180317 GLP-1 treatment also inhibited TNF-alpha-mediated induction of Akt phosphorylation.
316 18180317 Taken together, these observations suggest that GLP-1 inhibits TNF-alpha-mediated PAI-1 induction in vascular endothelial cells, and this effect may involve Akt-mediated signalling events and the modulation of Nur77 expression and NP binding to the PAI-1 NBRE.

321 19608644 Insulin acts through FOXO3a to activate transcription of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1.
322 19608644 However, the mechanistic link between insulin and up-regulation of PAI-1 is unclear.
323 19608644 Here we demonstrate that overexpression of Forkhead-related transcription factor (Fox)O1, FoxO3a, and FoxC1 augment insulin's ability to activate the PAI-1 promoter.
324 19608644 Furthermore, insulin also increased the ability of chimeric LexA-FoxO1, LexA-FoxO3a, and LexA-FoxC1 proteins to increase the activity of a LexA reporter, suggesting that the effect of insulin on FoxO3a was direct.
325 19608644 Using small interfering RNA to specifically deplete each of the Fox transcription factors tested, we demonstrate that only reduction of FoxO3a inhibits insulin-increased PAI-1-Luc expression and PAI-1 mRNA accumulation.
326 19608644 Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirm the presence of FoxO3a on the PAI-1 promoter.
327 19608644 These results suggest that FoxO3a mediates insulin-increased PAI-1 gene expression.
328 19888787 Effect on the atherogenic marker plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 of addition of the ACE inhibitor imidapril to angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist therapy in hypertensive patients with abnormal glucose metabolism: a prospective cohort study in primary care.
329 20070990 The body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, immunoreactive insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)), total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin III complex, plasmin-alpha2-plasmin inhibitor complex, and plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) were not changed.
330 20070990 The other independent variants, like the final dose of gliclazide, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, percentage change of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and total cholesterol, were not significantly associated with the percentage change of plasma PAI-1 level.
331 20089789 Our objectives in this study were to examine the associations of whole grain and refined grain intake with plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), and fibrinogen plasma concentrations.
332 20089789 After adjustment for demographic, lifestyle, and dietary variables, whole-grain intake was inversely related to log PAI-1 (beta = -0.102; SEM = 0.038; P = 0.0077) and log CRP (beta = -0.102; SEM = 0.048; P = 0.0340).
333 20089789 In summary, whole grain intake was inversely related to PAI-1 and CRP plasma concentrations, but these relationships were attenuated by the addition of metabolic variables to the model.

336 20099993 Studies have suggested that the VDR, PPARG, HNF1A, and adenosine 5'-triphosphate-binding cassette ABCC8 (which encodes the sulfonylurea receptor) genes are associated with calcineurin inhibitor-induced diabetes.
337 20099993 The genes encoding for the angiotensin-converting enzyme, endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase, and cytochrome P450 3A isoenzyme have been involved in the development of hypertension and in calcineurin inhibitor-induced hypertension.
338 20226821 Adaptor protein sorting nexin 17 interacts with the scavenger receptor FEEL-1/stabilin-1 and modulates its expression on the cell surface.
339 20226821 In the current study, we have identified the phox-homology domain containing protein SNX17 as a novel interaction partner of FEEL-1/stabilin-1 in endothelial cells.
340 20226821 SNX17 directly interacts with FEEL-1/stabilin-1 and regulates its trafficking.
341 20226821 Studies using the cytoplasmic domain of truncated or mutant FEEL-1/stabilin-1 suggest that the NPxF motif of the FEEL-1/stabilin-1 cytoplasmic tail is required for its interaction with SNX17.
342 20226821 By transfecting cells with small interfering RNA targeting SNX17, total cellular FEEL-1/stabilin-1 expression and FEEL-1/stabilin-1-mediated ligand uptake were significantly decreased due to the enhancement of FEEL-1/stabilin-1 protein degradation.
343 20226821 Our results identify SNX17 as a novel interaction partner of FEEL-1/stabilin-1 in endothelial cells.
