Angiostatin and plasminogen share binding to endothelial cell surface actin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that plasminogen binds to endothelial cell surface-associated actin via its kringles in a dose-dependent and specific manner. The purpose of this study was to determine whether angiostatin, a proteolytic fragment of plasminogen, shares binding properties with plasminogen. Our results indicated that like plasminogen, angiostatin bound to actin in a time-, concentration-, and kringle-dependent manner. Furthermore, this binding was significantly inhibited by excess plasminogen, suggesting that both proteins shared binding motifs on the actin molecule. Fluorescence studies demonstrated that angiostatin bound to intact endothelial cells through its kringles, and this binding was also inhibited by plasminogen but not by unrelated proteins. Ligand blot analyses on endothelial cell lysates indicated that angiostatin interacted with a 42 kDa protein, which was identified as actin. Furthermore, an anti-actin antibody inhibited binding of angiostatin to endothelial cells by approximately 25%. These results suggest that angiostatin and plasminogen share binding to endothelial cell surface actin and, therefore, that angiostatin has the potential to inhibit plasmin-dependent processes such as cell migration-movement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
