Staphylokinase is a new promising therapeutic agent with an expanding clinical application in the treatment of vascular disease.In the present paper the autors discuss the biochemical and physiological properties of the recombinant protein.The methods and techniques of protein synthesis, isolation and purification, including the genetic engineering approaches are critically summarized.The emphasis is put onto the critical review of the experiments concerning the use of ataphylokinase in thrombotic models in experimental animals.Moreover, we discuss the potential role and advantages of staphylokinase over the other thrombolytic agents in the treatment of cardiovascular disease in humans.

Myocardial infarction and stroke are the major cause of death in developed countries and are the clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis and hypertension. Both the environmental factors and genetic predisposition have an influence on the pathogenesis of these diseases. Despite we know lots of environmental risk factors and we made important advances in the prevention and treatment of mentioned diseases, our knowledge about the pathogenic linkage between genetic predisposition and cardiovascular diseases is still very little. Activation of the renin-angiotensin system has been proposed as a very important step in the pathogenesis of hypertension and atherosclerosis. In spite of vasoconstrictor activity, angiotensin II can stimulate migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophage-foam cells formation, adhesion and agregation of platelets and fibrinolytic system inhibition. Angiotensin convertin enzyme inhibitors reduce the development of the atherosclerotic process after vascular injury and in hyperlipidemic animals. Blockade of renin-angiotensin system seems to be also effective in secondary prevention of myocardial infarction in men. In sum, the genetic variations inside the renin-angiotensin system which may affect the function of its components might have an influence on genetic predisposition to cardiovascular diseases. The paper deals with the current state of knowledge on association between polymorphic variations in renin gene, angiotensinogen gene, angiotensin converting enzyme gene and AT1 receptor gene and primary hypertension, ischeamic heart disease and myocardial infarction.

The activation of the renin-angiotensin system has been proposed as a very important step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Accordingly, ACE-inhibitors and angiotensin II receptors antagonists showed their ability to reduce the atherosclerotic process in animals. Inhibition of renin-angiotensin system reduces the development of atherosclerotic lesion either in cholesterol-fed animals and in animals after vascular injury. The precise mechanism for this action may depend on the inhibition of other than hypertensive property of angiotensin II.
