van den Eijnden-Schrauwen, Y. (author), Kooistra, T. (author), de Vries, R.E.M. (author), Emeis, J.J. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)The process of acute release of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is important in locally speeding up fibrinolysis. Using a sensitive enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay for tPA, we investigated the acute release of tPA from cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The addition of thrombin (0.003 to 3 NIH U/mL) caused the dose...article 1995

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Plasminogen activator (PA) and PA inhibitor (PAI) antigen, activity, and mRNA were analyzed in the three layers of rat aorta, and the effect of endotoxin on PA and PAI was studied. All PA activity in aorta was identified as tissue-type PA (TPA) activity; no urokinase-type PA was detected. In the tunica adventitia TPA activity, TPA antigen, and...article 1994

Schrauwen, Y. (author), de Vries, R.E.M. (author), Kooistra, T. (author), Emeis, J.J. (author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)The acute release of t-PA was studied in vitro in human endothelial cells from different origin. It proved possible to enhance the amounts of t-PA which can be released by increasing t-PA synthesis, both in vitro, and in vivo in rats. These data suggest the feasibility to induce and (or) enhance acute release of t-PA in man. Chemicals/CAS:...article 1994

Kooistra, T. (author), Schrauwen, Y. (author), Arts, J. (author), Emeis, J.J. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)The fibrinolytic activity of blood is to a large extent determined by the plasma level of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Changes in the plasma level of t-PA are mainly achieved by the endothelium by two mechanisms: (a) a rapid, short-term release of t-PA, which occurs within minutes (acute release, regulated secretion) and (b) a long...article 1994

Padró, T. (author), van den Hoogen, C.M. (author), Emeis, J.J. (author), Instituut voor verouderings- en vaatziekten onderzoek TNO (author)The aim of the present study was to investigate whether hypothyroidism would affect the components of the rat plasma fibrinolytic system. Hypothyroidism was induced by feeding rats a thiouracil-containing diet for 2 weeks. During this period, half of the animals received subcutaneous injections of L-thyroxine (20 μg/kg daily) to restore thyroid...article 1993

Emeis, J.J. (author), Tranquille, N. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Bradykinin will induce, in perfused rat hindlegs, the acute release from endothelial cells of tissue-type plasminogen activator and of von Willebrand factor. This release is mediated by B2-receptors, requires the influx of extracellular calcium, and is modulated by cyclic nucleotides. A possible role of bradykinin in the physiological regulation...article 1992
