| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We concentrated fibrin degradation products (FDP) by its specific antibodies and identified cleavage sites of FDP, followed by a estimation of candidate proteases which cleave the cleavage sites. As a result, plasmin (PLM), cathepsin G, granulocyte elastase and matrix metalloproteinase-3 were considered candidates. We investigated the fibrin degradation by these proteases. The fibrin degradations in patients were mainly due to residual PLM activity, corresponding to about 15% of the degradations in healthy controls, while the degradations were little affected by other proteases. On the other hand, we found that the specific complement system proteins were high levels in the patient by plasma proteome analysis. Therefore, we investigated the complement activity on a fibrin clot. We found that the complement system was activated on the fibrin clot. We postulated that the complement-opsonized fibrin clot might be removed by phagocytosis.
