Angiotensin II Inhibits Human Trophoblast Invasion through AT1 Receptor Activation
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Trophoblast implantation depends, in part, on the controlled production of plasmin from plasminogen, a process regulated by plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors. We have determined that angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulates plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) synthesis and secretion in human trophoblasts in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Our results indicate that Ang II...
