Rhenium‐Based β‐Galactosidase Probe Allows Senescence Profiling by Mass Cytometry
Senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase (SA‐β‐Gal) activity is a widely accepted biomarker of cellular senescence, yet its integration with other senescence markers has been limited by available detection methods. Here, we introduce ReGal, a mass cytometry‐compatible SA‐β‐Gal activity probe that can be multiplexed with established markers of senescence ...

Prostate cancer cells show elevated urokinase receptor in a mouse model of metastasis
Background The urokinase receptor (uPAR) governs several functions necessary during invasion and metastasis such as motility, degradation of the extracellular matrix and adhesion.

Geriatric Regenerative Medicine: Mechanisms, Strategies, and Clinical Translation
The pathological drivers of aging—stem cell exhaustion, cellular senescence with SASP, and aged extracellular matrix—are precisely targeted by three corresponding mechanism‐based strategies: stem cell therapies (rejuvenation, regeneration, and replacement), senolytic/senomorphic agents (D + Q, fisetin, vaccines, and CAR‐T), and senescence‐targeting ...

The Absence of uPAR Is Associated with the Progression of Dermal Fibrosis [PDF]
The fibrinolytic system is considered to play an important role in the degradation of extracellular matrices (ECM). However, the detailed mechanism regarding how this system affects fibrosis remains unclear. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) not only functions as a proteinase receptor but also plays a role in cellular adhesion ...

Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) as a novel biomarker in prostate cancer.
183 Background: New biomarkers are warranted to distinguish between indolent and aggressive prostate cancer (PCa). The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) plays an important role in pericellular proteolysis by binding urokinase plasminogen ...

Modulation of Cellular Function by the Urokinase Receptor Signalling: A Mechanistic View
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR or CD87) is a glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol anchored (GPI) membrane protein. The uPAR primary ligand is the serine protease urokinase (uPA), converting plasminogen into plasmin, a broad spectrum ...

Mixed lineage kinase 3 mediates SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury via the Hsp70‐IL‐17A axis
Kidney samples from patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) showed upregulated expression and activity of Mixed Lineage Kinase (MLK3). Based on the mechanistic studies, we identified MLK3 as a critical player in promoting SARS‐CoV‐2‐induced kidney injury.

uPAR co-immunoprecipitates with fMLF-Rs.
A: Lysates of uPAR-293 cells or V-293 cells, transiently transfected with FPR1 cDNA, were analyzed by Western blot with a uPAR-specific monoclonal antibody or immunoprecipitated with anti-FPR1 polyclonal antibodies or nonimmune rabbit immunoglobulins and

TGF-β regulation of the uPA/uPAR axis modulates mesothelial-mesenchymal transition (MesoMT)
Pleural fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease which affects approximately 30,000 people per year in the United States. Injury and sustained inflammation of the pleural space can result in PF, restricting lung expansion and impairing ...

Evolutionary Mechanisms of Coagulation Factors in Cetaceans During Aquatic Adaptation
Compared with Bos taurus, T. truncatus showed shorter prothrombin time and thrombin time but prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, indicating pathway‐specific remodeling of coagulation. Evolutionary analyses identified 18 positively selected genes and accelerated F11 evolution, while functional assays revealed increased coagulation factor ...
