摘要
Conversion of plasminogen to plasmin provides an important source of proteolytic activity in the bovine mammary gland. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1.) plays a key role in limiting plasminogen activation. The PAI-1 biosynthetic capabilities of various bovine mammary cells mere determined. The immortalized epithelial cell lines MAC-T and BME-UV and the myoepithelial cell Line BMM-UV were used as model systems. Northern blot analysis indicated that both epithelial and myoepithelial cells contained PAI-1. mRNA. Bovine PAI-1 was encoded by a single mRNA species similar to 3.0 kb long. BME-UV cells contained 2.0-fold (P < 0.01) the PAI-1. mRNA of MAC-T or BMM-UV cells. Reverse zymography indicated that both epithelial and myoepithelial cells synthesized PAI-1 protein with a molecular mass of similar to 50 kDa.
