Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and the kidney Eddy AAAm J Physiol Renal Physiol 2002[Aug]; 283 (2): F209-20Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a serine protease inhibitor that was isolated 20 years ago. First recognized as an inhibitor of intravascular fibrinolysis, it is now evident that PAI-1 is a multifunctional protein with actions that may be dependent on or independent of its protease inhibitory effects. The latter often involve interactions between PAI-1 and vitronectin or the urokinase receptor. The protease-inhibitory actions of PAI-1 extend beyond fibrinolysis and include extracellular matrix turnover and activation of several proenzymes and latent growth factors. PAI-1 has been implicated in several renal pathogenetic processes, including thrombotic microangiopathies and proliferative and/or crescentic glomerulopathies. Most recently, it has become clear that PAI-1 also plays a pivotal role in progressive renal disease, both glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. An active area of present research interest, untold stories are likely to be uncovered soon.|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Diseases/genetics/*physiopathology[MESH]|Kidney/*physiology[MESH]|Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1/*genetics[MESH]|Protein Biosynthesis/*physiology[MESH] |
