Cathepsin G--induced release of PAI-1 in the culture medium of endothelial cells: a new thrombogenic role for polymorphonuclear leukocytes?
1993
Activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) may affect the integrety of blood vessels by endothelial cell injury. We investigated the effects of cathepsin G purified from human neutrophils on the fibrinolytic potential of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cathepsin G (5 and 10 μg/ml) induced marked intercellular gap formation after 1 hour of treatment, whereas 1 μg/ml did not, even after 6 hours incubation
