Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-3 (PAI-3) in normal adult skin. Methods Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were used to detect the expressions of PAI-3 and uPA. Results mRNA of PAI-3 and uPA were detected. PAI-3 was mainly expressed in stratum basale, stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum, and its expression enhanced in the well differentiated keratinocytes of the epidermis. uPA was located in basal layer. Conclusion PAI-3 exists in normal adult skin and is related with the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes.
