Dynamic Assembly of the Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Signaling Receptor Complex Determines the Mitogenic Activity of Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) functions in concert with co-receptors, including integrins, FPR-like receptor-1/lipoxin A4 receptor, and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), to initiate cell signaling. uPAR co-receptors may be dynamically organized into a multiprotein signaling receptor complex.

A randomized trial of an early measles vaccine at 4½ months of age in Guinea-Bissau: sex-differential immunological effects. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
After measles vaccine (MV), all-cause mortality is reduced more than can be explained by the prevention of measles, especially in females.We aimed to study the biological mechanisms underlying the observed non-specific and sex-differential effects of MV ...

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

Integrin-uPAR signaling leads to FRA-1 phosphorylation and enhanced breast cancer invasion

Breast Cancer Research, 2018
Background The Fos-related antigen 1 (FRA-1) transcription factor promotes tumor cell growth, invasion and metastasis. Phosphorylation of FRA-1 increases protein stability and function.

Gut microbiota‐related modulation of immune mechanisms in post‐infarction remodelling and heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.
Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Caveolar dysfunction leads to signal transduction defects that are critical for obesity-driven disorders [PDF]

, 2006
To say that obesity and diabetes have reached epidemic proportions has become something of a cliché. This should not lead us to simply accept it as a byproduct of our changing lifestyle, or to overlook the socioeconomic importance of these conditions ...

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor in IgA nephropathy

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2014
See Article on Page 176-182 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common pathologic form of primary glomerulonephritis and accounts for up to 50% of cases of this condition diagnosed using renal biopsy in Korea [1]. The most common pathologic findings related to the development of end-stage renal disease were global sclerosis, segmental sclerosis ...

Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Regulation of urokinase plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in murine breast cancer cells [PDF]

, 2011
Proteases are indispensable for tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. These proteases are produced by tumor cells, stromal cells, and by the host coagulation cascade.
