Glycated albumin activates PAI-1 transcription through Smad DNA binding sites in mesangial cells ... This study examined whether glycated albumin induces PAI-1 transcription in human mesangial cells ( HMC ) through Smad binding sites in the PAI-1 promoter

:
Preincubation of PAI-1 with vitronectin, but not bovine serum albumin , blocked PAI-039 activity while analysis of the reciprocal experiment demonstrated that preincubation of PAI-1 with PAI-039 blocked the binding of PAI-1 to vitronectin
