Plasmin, the principal downstream product of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), is known for its potent fibrin-degrading capacity but is also recognized for many non-fibrinolytic activities. Curiously, plasmin has not been conclusively linked to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption during recombinant tPA (rtPA)-induced thrombolysis in ischemic stroke. This is surprising given the substantial involvement of tPA in the modulation of BBB permeability and the co-existence of tPA and plasminogen in both blood and brain throughout the ischemic event. Here, we review the work that argues a role for plasmin together with endogenous tPA or rtPA in BBB alteration, presenting the overall controversy around the topic yet creating a rational case for an involvement of plasmin in this process.
纤溶酶是组织型纤溶酶原激活物(tPA)的主要下游产物,以其强大的纤维蛋白降解能力而闻名,但也具有许多非纤维蛋白溶解活性。奇怪的是,纤溶酶与缺血性中风中重组 tPA(rtPA)诱导的溶栓过程中血脑屏障(BBB)的破坏并没有明确的联系。鉴于 tPA 大量参与 BBB 通透性的调节,以及 tPA 和纤溶酶原在整个缺血事件中同时存在于血液和大脑中,这令人惊讶。在这里,我们回顾了认为纤溶酶与内源性 tPA 或 rtPA 一起在 BBB 改变中起作用的工作,提出了围绕该主题的总体争议,但为纤溶酶在该过程中的参与提供了合理的依据。
