Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been regarded as a risk factor for thrombosis and atherosclerosis. Since it has been shown that PAI-1 can activate macrophages through Toll-like receptor-4, we sought to investigate the role of PAI-1 in the tumor microenvironment. Methods: Th...
