1 Mice deficient in the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene (PAI-1-/- mice) are relatively protected from developing pulmonary fibrosis from bleomycin administration. Bleomycin serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 1 Mus musculus
2 Mice deficient in the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene (PAI-1-/- mice) are relatively protected from developing pulmonary fibrosis from bleomycin administration. Bleomycin serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 1 Mus musculus
3 Conversely, intratracheal instillation of urokinase into bleomycin-injured PAI-1+/+ mice to activate plasminogen caused a significant increase in HGF within bronchoalveolar lavage and caused less collagen accumulation in the lungs. Bleomycin serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 1 Mus musculus
4 Administration of an anti-HGF neutralizing antibody markedly increased collagen accumulation in the lungs of bleomycin-injured PAI-1-/- mice. Bleomycin serine (or cysteine) peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 1 Mus musculus
