medicine | Recombinant APC and/or its analogues with reduced by over 90% anticoagulant activity such as mutant 3K3A-APC (K191A/K192A/K193A), engineered to reduce APC-associated bleeding risk while retaining normal cell signaling activity, have shown benefits in preclinical models of ischemic stroke, brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sepsis, ischemic/reperfusion injury of heart, kidney and liver, pulmonary, kidney and gastrointestinal inflammation, diabetes, and lethal body radiation. Enzyme mutant 3K3A-APC stimulates neuronal production by human neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) in vitro via a PAR1-PAR3-sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1-Akt pathway, suggesting the potential for APC-based treatment as a strategy for structural repair in the human central nervous system. Late post-ischemic treatment of C57BL/6J mice with 3K3A-APC stimulates neuronal production by transplanted human NSCs, promotes circuit restoration, and improves functional recovery | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | activated protein C (APC) is a blood protease with anticoagulant activity and cell-signaling activities mediated by activation of protease-activated receptors 1 and 3 (PAR1, PAR3) via non-canonical cleavage1. Recombinant APC and/or its analogues with reduced by over 90% anticoagulant activity such as mutant 3K3A-APC (K191A/K192A/K193A), engineered to reduce APC-associated bleeding risk while retaining normal cell signaling activity, have shown benefits in preclinical models of ischemic stroke, brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sepsis, ischemic/reperfusion injury of heart, kidney and liver, pulmonary, kidney and gastrointestinal inflammation, diabetes, and lethal body radiation.
