Activation of the Urokinase Plasminogen Activator/Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor System in Periodontitis: A Case–Control Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene
ABSTRACTIntroductionThe plasminogen activating (PA) system has a multitude of functions such as wound healing, proteolytic activity, collagen degradation and cell growth, and the role of the urokinase plasminogen activator/urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPA/uPAR) system has been studied in many disease states.

Expression of urokinase plasminogen activator and the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor in myeloma cells [PDF]

British Journal of Haematology, 2000
Binding of urokinase (uPA) to its receptor (uPAR; CD87) focuses proteolytic activity on the cell surface and this system is of importance in malignant matrix degradation and tumour invasion. By immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry, we found that primary myeloma cells and myeloma cell lines expressed uPA and uPAR.

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Determining biomarkers for evaluation and diagnosis of hereditary angioedema

Clinical and Translational Allergy, 2022
Rationale Kallikrein‐bradykinin‐forming cascade is known to cause hereditary angioedema (HAE) acute angioedema (AE) attacks. Further research of HAE attacks is needed to explain disease heterogeneity, predict treatment response and identify biomarkers ...

A study of the interaction between Helicobacter pylori and components of the human fibrinolytic system

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
The interaction of plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase with a clinical strain of Helicobacter pylori was studied. Plasminogen bound to the surface of H. pylori cells in a concentration-dependent manner and could be activated to

The Ly49E receptor inhibits the immune control of acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]

, 2016
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in the blood upon infection and invades various cells. Parasites intensively multiply during the acute phase of infection and persist lifelong at low levels in tissues and blood during the chronic phase.

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]

, 2009
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.
