1 In this study, we investigated the expression and function of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1, an inhibitor of the plasminogen activator system and target gene of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 signalling cascade, in PASMC in IPAH. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
2 PAI-1 was also downregulated in primary PASMC derived from IPAH lungs as compared with donor-derived PASMC. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
3 In contrast, PAI-1 knock-down with siRNA increased PASMC proliferation and decreased PASMC migration. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
4 In contrast, PAI-1 knock-down with siRNA increased PASMC proliferation and decreased PASMC migration. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: PAI-1 is significantly downregulated in PASMC in IPAH, on the mRNA and protein level. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
6 PAI-1 negatively regulates PASMC proliferation, while it increases PASMC migration. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
7 PAI-1 negatively regulates PASMC proliferation, while it increases PASMC migration. pasmc serpin family E member 1 Homo sapiens
