Generation of Antibodies to the Urokinase Receptor (uPAR) by DNA Immunization of uPAR Knockout Mice: Membrane‐Bound uPAR is Not Required for an Antibody Response [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2003
AbstractThe urokinase receptor (uPAR) is a glycolipid‐anchored cell surface glycoprotein that plays a central role in extracellular proteolysis during tissue remodeling processes including cancer invasion. Furthermore, uPAR is found on the surface of both dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, and has been proposed to play a role in DC‐induced T‐cell ...

Domain 1 of the urokinase receptor (uPAR) is required for uPAR‐mediated cell binding to vitronectin [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2000
In the present paper we have analyzed uPAR‐mediated cellular binding to vitronectin using the murine erythroid progenitor cell line 32D. We show that expression of uPAR in 32D cells promotes cellular binding to vitronectin, but fails to support cell spreading.

Cyclo19,31[D-Cys19]-uPA19-31 is a potent competitive antagonist of the interaction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator with its receptor (CD87) [PDF]

, 2001
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) represents a central molecule in pericellular proteolysis and is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes such as tissue remodelling, wound healing, tumor invasion, and ...

The urokinase receptor (uPAR) facilitates clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
The causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, has been shown to induce expression of the urokinase receptor (uPAR); however, the role of uPAR in the immune response against Borrelia has never been investigated.

Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Promotes Paracellular Transmigration of Neutrophils Via Mac-1, But Independently of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear.

uPAR mediates anticancer activity of PEDF [PDF]

Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2008
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a cancer which afflicts the bone, ending in usually fatal lung metastasis mainly in teenagers and adolescents. We have recently shown that PEDF is one biological that has multiple anti-OS activity. In parallel, we have also shown using rodent cells, the beneficial effects of downregulation of uPAR against OS.

Cleavage of the urokinase receptor (uPAR) on oral cancer cells: regulation by transforming growth factor – β1 (TGF-β1) and potential effects on migration and invasion

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) is up-regulated at the invasive tumour front of human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), indicating a role for uPAR in tumour progression.

Efferocytosis: another function of uPAR

Blood, 2009
uPAR, the receptor for urokinase plasminogen activator, is a regulator of the uptake by macrophages of apoptotic neutrophils (efferocytosis). Its role and mechanism appear to be complex and possibly controversial.

Negative regulation of urokinase receptor activity by a GPI-specific phospholipase C in breast cancer cells

eLife, 2017
The urokinase receptor (uPAR) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that promotes tissue remodeling, tumor cell adhesion, migration and invasion.
