Role of angiostatins in diabetic complications

Abstract: Angiogenesis is a process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is regulated by a number of factors of peptide nature. Disbalance of angiogenic system appears to be the major causative factor contributing vascular abnormalities in diabetes mellitus, resulting in various complications. Angiostatins, which are kringle-containing fragments of plasminogen/plasmin, are known to be powerful physiological inhibitors of neovascularization. In the present review, current literatur… Show more

“…14 Activation of oxidative stress causes a large number of oxygen-free radicals to form, which oxidizes with microvascular endothelial cells and glomerular basement membrane cells and causes cell damage, which will further cause proteins to leak through the glomerulus and enter the urine, causing proteinuria. 15,16 MDA is a lipid peroxide degradation product that reflects the degree of damage of oxygenfree radicals to cells. 17 SOD is a scavenger that eliminates harmful substances produced by organisms during metabolism.…”

“…It consists of several domains: the N-terminal domain, five sequential homologous kringle domains (K1, K2, K3, K4, and K5) and the proteinase domain. Lysine-binding sites (LBSs) of kringle domains allow the interaction of plasminogen with various proteins and receptors [3][4][5][6]. Glu-plasminogen exists in the closed conformation in plasma, it is stabilized by intramolecular interactions of the Nterminal domain with the K5 [7].…”

“…[1][2] In addition, the limited proteolysis of macromolecules makes it possible to obtain functionally active fragments that can be used in medicine. 3 Over the past decade, powerful fibrinolytic enzymes from various sources have been discovered, such as earthworms, 4 snake poisons, 5 insects, 6 microorganisms 7 and marine species. 8 An attractive source of various biologically active compounds are fungi.…”
