The Central Role of Fibrinolytic Response in COVID-19—A Hematologist’S Perspective
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Central Role of Fibrinolytic Response in COVID-19—A Hematologist’s Perspective Hau C. Kwaan 1,* and Paul F. Lindholm 2 1 Division of Hematology/Oncology, Department of Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA 2 Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has many characteristics common to those in two other coronavirus acute respiratory diseases, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). They are all highly contagious and have severe pulmonary complications. Clinically, patients with COVID-19 run a rapidly progressive course of an acute respiratory tract infection with fever, sore throat, cough, headache and fatigue, complicated by severe pneumonia often leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The infection also involves other organs throughout the body. In all three viral illnesses, the fibrinolytic system plays an active role in each phase of the pathogenesis. During transmission, the renin-aldosterone- angiotensin-system (RAAS) is involved with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, attaching to its natural receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) in host cells. Both tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) are closely linked to the RAAS. In lesions in the lung, kidney and other organs, the two plasminogen activators urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), along with their inhibitor, plasminogen activator 1 (PAI-1), are involved. The altered fibrinolytic balance enables the development of a hypercoagulable Citation: Kwaan, H.C.; Lindholm, state. -

Bioinformation Database links GeneID: 5345 Human Swiss-port # P08697 Human Gene Symbol SERPINF2 Gene Full Name serpin family F member 2 Background This gene encodes a member of the serpin family of serine protease inhibitors. The protein is a major inhibitor of plasmin, which degrades fibrin and various other proteins. Consequently, the proper function of this gene has a major role in regulating the blood clotting pathway. Mutations in this gene result in alpha-2-plasmin inhibitor deficiency, which is characterized by severe hemorrhagic diathesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. -
Differential Gene Expression of Serine Protease Inhibitors in Bovine
Hayashi et al. Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2011, 9:72 http://www.rbej.com/content/9/1/72 RESEARCH Open Access Differential gene expression of serine protease inhibitors in bovine ovarian follicle: possible involvement in follicular growth and atresia Ken-Go Hayashi, Koichi Ushizawa, Misa Hosoe and Toru Takahashi* Abstract Background: SERPINs (serine protease inhibitors) regulate proteases involving fibrinolysis, coagulation, inflammation, cell mobility, cellular differentiation and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate differentially expressed genes of members of the SERPIN superfamily between healthy and atretic follicles using a combination of microarray and quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) analysis. In addition, we further determined mRNA and protein localization of identified SERPINs in estradiol (E2)-active and E2-inactive follicles by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Methods: We performed microarray analysis of healthy (10.7 +/- 0.7 mm) and atretic (7.8 +/- 0.2 mm) follicles using a custom-made bovine oligonucleotide microarray to screen differentially expressed genes encoding SERPIN superfamily members between groups. The expression profiles of six identified SERPIN genes were further confirmed by QPCR analysis. In addition, mRNA and protein localization of four SERPINs was investigated in E2- active and E2-inactive follicles using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Results: We have identified 11 SERPIN genes expressed in healthy and atretic follicles by microarray analysis. QPCR analysis confirmed that mRNA expression of four SERPINs (SERPINA5, SERPINB6, SERPINE2 and SERPINF2) was greater in healthy than in atretic follicles, while two SERPINs (SERPINE1 and SERPING1) had greater expression in atretic than in healthy follicles. In situ hybridization showed that SERPINA5, SERPINB6 and SERPINF2 mRNA were localized in GCs of E2-active follicles and weakly expressed in GCs of E2-inactive follicles. -

Antiplasmin the Main Plasmin Inhibitor in Blood Plasma
1 From Department of Surgical Sciences, Division of Clinical Chemistry and Blood Coagu- lation, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, S-171 76 Stockholm, Sweden ANTIPLASMIN THE MAIN PLASMIN INHIBITOR IN BLOOD PLASMA Studies on Structure-Function Relationships Haiyao Wang Stockholm 2005 2 ABSTRACT ANTIPLASMIN THE MAIN PLASMIN INHIBITOR IN BLOOD PLASMA Studies on Structure-Function Relationships Haiyao Wang Department of Surgical Sciences, Division of Clinical Chemistry and Blood Coagulation, Karo- linska University Hospital, Karolinska Institute, S-171 76 Stockholm, Sweden Antiplasmin is an important regulator of the fibrinolytic system. It inactivates plasmin very rapidly. The reaction between plasmin and antiplasmin occurs in several steps: first a lysine- binding site in plasmin interacts with a complementary site in antiplasmin. Then, an interac- tion occurs between the substrate-binding pocket in the plasmin active site and the scissile peptide bond in the RCL of antiplasmin. Subsequently, peptide bond cleavage occurs and a stable acyl-enzyme complex is formed. It has been accepted that the COOH-terminal lysine residue in antiplasmin is responsible for its interaction with the plasmin lysine-binding sites. In order to identify these structures, we constructed single-site mutants of charged amino ac- ids in the COOH-terminal portion of antiplasmin. We found that modification of the COOH- terminal residue, Lys452, did not change the activity or the kinetic properties significantly, suggesting that Lys452 is not involved in the lysine-binding site mediated interaction between plasmin and antiplasmin. On the other hand, modification of Lys436 to Glu decreased the reaction rate significantly, suggesting this residue to have a key function in this interaction. -
Serpins—From Trap to Treatment
MINI REVIEW published: 12 February 2019 doi: 10.3389/fmed.2019.00025 SERPINs—From Trap to Treatment Wariya Sanrattana, Coen Maas and Steven de Maat* Department of Clinical Chemistry and Haematology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands Excessive enzyme activity often has pathological consequences. This for example is the case in thrombosis and hereditary angioedema, where serine proteases of the coagulation system and kallikrein-kinin system are excessively active. Serine proteases are controlled by SERPINs (serine protease inhibitors). We here describe the basic biochemical mechanisms behind SERPIN activity and identify key determinants that influence their function. We explore the clinical phenotypes of several SERPIN deficiencies and review studies where SERPINs are being used beyond replacement therapy. Excitingly, rare human SERPIN mutations have led us and others to believe that it is possible to refine SERPINs toward desired behavior for the treatment of enzyme-driven pathology.
