CYP1B1 induces tumorigenic metastasis through promotion of uPAR and subsequently activation of uPAR signaling via regulation of MDM2‐uPAR system

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2018
Human CYP1B1 is known as a major metabolizer for estrogen and shows tumor‐specific hyper‐expression. To explore the role of CYP1B1 on metastasis of human cancer cells, we studied the effects of CYP1B1 inhibition and activation in MCF‐10A, MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐231, and HeLa cells.

uPAR expression controls cell migration.

open access: yes, 2014
uPAR-293 and V-293 cells efficiently migrate toward serum growth factors or EGF (GF). However, uPAR, when expressed, recruits and bridges fMLFRs and β1 integrin at the cell surface, thus driving pro-migratory signaling (upper panels).

CD177 Deficiency Defines a Stable Subtype of Human Neutrophil Granulocytes with Tumor Promoting Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human neutrophils exist as two epigenetically imprinted subtypes defined by stable CD177 expression or absence — a ratio that persists across time, circadian rhythms, and inflammation. CD177− neutrophils display a distinct molecular landscape enriched in arginase 1 and lipid metabolism markers, accumulate in head‐and‐neck tumors, and associate with ...

The Absence of uPAR Is Associated with the Progression of Dermal Fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2008
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 ...

Identification of a novel regulatory mechanism for the disease associated protein, uPAR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as determined through a series of statistical association studies collectively known as genome-wide association (GWA) studies, have provided us with a hypothesis free approach for the investigation into ...

Suppression of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor by Docosahexaenoic Acid Mediated by Heme Oxygenase-1 in 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-Acetate-Induced Human Endothelial Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) plays a crucial role in inflammation and tumor metastasis. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a representative omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor ...

Engineering CAR‐Macrophages With Advanced Delivery Systems for Tissue Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights how engineered macrophages equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) guide tissue repair by recognizing disease‐related targets, clearing harmful cells, and reshaping local immune environments. It summarizes macrophage biology, CAR design, delivery platforms, and functionalization strategies, and discusses emerging ...

Urokinase Anchors uPAR to the Actin Cytoskeleton

open access: yesInvestigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2004
To investigate the expression and localization of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) and their interaction with the actin cytoskeleton in human corneal fibroblasts.Primary cultured human corneal fibroblasts were exposed to exogenous uPA to investigate its effect on the distribution of uPAR under resting conditions and in a ...

uPAR is found in endocytic compartments in the absence of ligands in HEK293-uPAR cells.

open access: yes, 2013
Immunofluorescence of HEK293-uPAR cells labeled with a polyclonal anti-uPAR antibody and imaged by confocal microscopy. Image 2 (left), shows the predominant location of uPAR in lamellipodia-like protrusions and in intracellular compartments, including ...
