Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is induced by radiation resulting in endothelial cell impairment, potentially leading to multiple organ failure. Vitronectin (VN) is a 75-kDa glycoprotein (VN75) cleaved into two forms (VN75 or VN65/10) by furin, which is regulated by intracellular PAI-1. VN protects against radiation-induced endothelial cell death, but the mechanisms involved in VN processing and its...
