Effect of the plasminogen active site mutant, [D(646)E]-Plg, on apoptosis. U937 cells were either untreated (diamonds) or exposed to 10 ng/mL TNFα (squares) (A) or 50 μg/mL CHX (circles) (B) in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of either the plasminogen active site mutant, [D(646)E]-Plg (closed symbols), or wild-type plasminogen (open symbols) for 24 hours at 37°C. The cells were analyzed by FACS with annexin V–FITC and PI. Data are shown as mean ± SE, n = 2, for a representative of 3 independent experiments.
