Protein disulfide isomerase A1 regulates fenestration dynamics in primary mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs).

Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) are involved in many intracellular and extracellular processes, including cell adhesion and cytoskeletal reorganisation, but their contribution to the regulation of fenestrations in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) remains unknown. Given that fenestrations are supported on a cytoskeleton scaffold, this study aimed to investigate whether endothelial PDIs regulate fenestration dynamics in primary mouse LSECs. PDIA3 and PDIA1 were found to be the most abundant among PDI isoforms in LSECs.

Aromatic sulphonamides of aziridine-2-carboxylic acid derivatives as novel PDIA1 and PDIA3 inhibitors.

In this study, we report a series of newly synthesised sulphonamides of aziridine-2-carboxylic acid (Az-COOH) ester and amide analogues as potent protein disulphide isomerase (PDI, EC 5.3.4.

Protein disulfide isomerase-A1 regulates intraplatelet reactive oxygen species-thromboxane A -dependent pathway in human platelets.

Background: Platelet-derived protein disulfide isomerase 1 (PDIA1) regulates thrombus formation, but its role in the regulation of platelet function is not fully understood.

Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize the role of PDIA1 in human platelets.

Methods: Proteomic analysis of PDI isoforms in platelets was performed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectometry, and the expression of PDIs on platelets in response to collagen, TRAP-14, or ADP was measured with flow cytometry.

Protein Disulphide Isomerase A1 Is Involved in the Regulation of Breast Cancer Cell Adhesion and Transmigration via Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells.

Cancer cell cross-talk with the host endothelium plays a crucial role in metastasis, but the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. We studied the involvement of protein disulphide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) in human breast cancer cell (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) adhesion and transendothelial migration. For comparison, the role of PDIA1 in proliferation, migration, cell cycle and apoptosis was also assessed.
