Abstract

Plasminogen (Plg)-deficient mice were generated to define the physiological roles of this key fibrinolytic protein and its proteolytic derivatives, plasmin and angiostatin, in development, hemostasis, and reproduction. Plg-/- mice complete embryonic development, survive to adulthood, and are fertile. There is no evidence of fetal loss of Plg-/- mice based on the Mendelian pattern of transmission of the mutant Plg allele. Furthermore, embryonic development continues to term in the absence of endogenous, sibling-derived, or maternal Plg. However, Plg-/- mice are predisposed to severe thrombosis, and young animals developed multiple spontaneous thrombotic lesions in liver, stomach, colon, rectum, lung, pancreas, and other tissues. Fibrin deposition in the liver was a uniform finding in 5- to 21-week-old mice, and ulcerated lesions in the gastrointestinal tract and rectal tissue were common. A remarkable finding, considering the well-established linkage between plasmin and the proteolytic activation of plasminogen activators, was that the level of active urokinase-type plasminogen activator in urine was unaffected in Plg-/- mice. Therefore, Plg plays a pivotal role in fibrinolysis and hemostasis but is not essential for urokinase proenzyme activation, development, or growth to sexual maturity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
