abstract：:Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) increases injury in several liver, lung and kidney disease models. The objective of this investigation was to assess the effect of PAI-1 deficiency on cholestatic liver fibrosis and determine PAI-1 influenced fibrogenic mechanisms. We found that PAI-1(-/-) mice had less fibros...

abstract：:Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) plays a critical role in parathyroid hormone (PTH)-induced bone resorption. PTH acts via protein kinase A (PKA) to phosphorylate and stimulate the transactivation of Runx2 for MMP-13 promoter activation. We show here that PTH stimulated Runx2 phosphorylation in rat osteoblastic cel...
