Treatment with a Urokinase Receptor-derived Cyclized Peptide Improves Experimental Colitis by Preventing Monocyte Recruitment and Macrophage Polarization [PDF]
Leukocyte migration across the blood barrier and into tissues represents a key process in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases. The urokinase receptor (urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor) is a master regulator of leukocyte ...

Differential Roles of uPAR in Peritoneal Ovarian Carcinomatosis
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies in the United States. Most cases are diagnosed at late stages, with the solid tumor masses growing as peritoneal implants, or floating within the ascitic fluid (peritoneal ovarian carcinomatosis).

Our multiomics analysis across three PD cohorts revealed distinct fecal microbiome and plasma metabolome alterations in patients with motor complications (PD‐MC). We identified specific microbial and metabolic biomarkers and uncovered significant correlations between them, providing new insights into PD‐MC pathophysiology. ABSTRACT Background Parkinson'

Selection of optimal molecular targets for tumor-specific imaging in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Discrimination of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) from chronic pancreatitis (CP) or peritumoral inflammation is challenging, both at preoperative imaging and during surgery, but it is crucial for proper therapy selection. Tumor-specific molecular

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies in Anti‐Aging Medicine: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Aging is orchestrated by interconnected hallmarks such as genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and disrupted intercellular communication, which collectively drive chronic disease progression. Recent advances have expanded therapeutic opportunities to include pharmacological agents, gene and epigenome editing ...

The uPA/uPAR system in astrocytic wound healing
The repair of injured tissue is a highly complex process that involves cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Cell migration requires the dismantling of intercellular contacts in the injured zone and their subsequent reconstitution in the wounded area. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine proteinase found in multiple cell

Attenuation of urokinase activity during experimental ischaemia protects the cerebral barrier from damage through regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and NAD(P)H oxidase [PDF]
Ischaemic injury impairs the integrity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). In this study, we investigated the molecular causes of this defect with regard to the putative correlations among NAD(P)H oxidase, plasminogen–plasmin system components, and matrix ...

Targeting uPAR in diabetic vascular pathologies*
The uPAR protein is one of the most important elements in fibrinolysis. uPAR is associated with many biological processes, such as cell invasion, angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Because of its multifunctional character, it is difficult to produce an effective inhibitor of uPA-uPAR interactions.

Applying a novel, highly specific and sensitive immunoabsorption/Western blotting technique we have identified in vitro in conditioned cell culture medium and in vivo in human urine different soluble forms of the urokinase‐type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR/CD87). These include the uPAR fragment D2D3 and the never before identified domain 1 (D1)

SPRY1 promotes the degradation of uPAR and inhibits uPAR-mediated cell adhesion and proliferation.
Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a GPI anchored cell surface protein that is closely associated with invasion, migration, and metastasis of cancer cells. Many functional extracellular proteins and transmembrane receptors interact with uPAR. However, few studies have examined the association of uPAR with cytoplasm proteins.
