Purpose Previous research in our laboratory indicated that prothrombin and other coagulation enzymes required to activate prothrombin to thrombin are synthesized by the cornea and that apoptotic human corneal stromal cells can provide a surface for p

Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) associates with ligands that influence wound healing outcomes. However, the expression pattern of IGF2R and its role in the cornea is unknown.Human keratocytes were isolated from donor corneas. Fibroblast

Maspin is a non-inhibitory serine protease inhibitor (serpin) that influences many cellular functions including adhesion, migration, and invasion. The underlying molecular mechanisms that facilitate these actions are still being elucidated. In this s

Maspin, an ov-serpin, inhibits tumor invasion and induces cell adhesion to extracellular matrix molecules. Here, we use maspin/ovalbumin chimeric proteins and the maspin reactive site loop (RSL) peptide to characterize the role of the RSL in maspin-m

Because inflammatory processes may promote the development of atherosclerosis, we examined the activation of cytokine genes in rat vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro after treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL

OBJECTIVES: Beta-adrenergic receptor agonists such as isoproterenol inhibit production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in a number of cell types. Because the heart is a source of TNF-alpha, we hypothesized that isoproterenol would inhibit cardia

Recent evidence suggests that inflammatory cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-α), may play a role in heart disease. Elevated plasma levels of the cytokine have been reported in congestive heart failure and severe angina and after m

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is an important factor in regulating the inflammatory response and the production of extracellular matrix by fibroblasts. These two processes are linked in the formation of fibrous adhesions after abdominal

Latent TGF-β1 was one of the first non-lysosomal glycoproteins reported to bear mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) residues on its N-glycans. Prior studies have suggested that this sugar modification regulates the activation of latent TGF-β1 by allowing

Maspin, an inhibitor of cell migration and a stimulator of adhesion of cells to the ECM, is synthesized and released by corneal keratocytes into the extracellular matrix. When the cornea is wounded, the quiescent stromal keratocytes underlying the wo
