Association of Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator with Asthma and Atopy
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007Abstract Rationale Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) interacts with its receptor on inflammatory and migrating cells to regulate extracellular matrix degradation, cell adhesion, and inflammatory cell activation.

Wounds in patients with hyperglycemia show impaired healing. Plasminogen activation is crucial in several overlapping phases of wound healing process. In this study, we aimed i) to compare acute wound fluid in patients with hyperglycemia and normoglycemia, ii) to focus on the elements of plasminogen activation in the wound fluid, and iii) to determine ...

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

UVB Increases Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) Expression1 [PDF]
Keratinocytes synthesize and secrete urokinase-type plasminogen activator, which binds to its specific receptor on keratinocytes. When bound to urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, urokinase-type plasminogen activator proteolytically converts ...

The murine urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene
Biochemistry, 1987The murine urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene has been isolated from a BALB/c liver DNA cosmid library and its nucleotide sequence established. The gene is organized into 11 exons comprising 34.7% of the 6710 base pair (bp) region spanning the interval between the presumed transcription initiation and polyadenylation sites.

It has become more and more clear in recent decades that the plasminogen activation system, which includes urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA), urokinase‐type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)‐1 and PAI‐2, plays a very important role in the aggressiveness of cancer. Using immunohistochemistry and enzyme‐

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2007Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease involved in tissue remodeling and cell migration. At the gene level, the interplay between a complex enhancer, required for induced and basal transcription, and the minimal promoter finely tunes uPA expression.

Inhibitors of the Proteolytic Activity of Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2003Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) activates plasminogen to plasmin and is often associated with diseases where tissue remodeling is essential (e.g. cancer, macular degeneration, atherosclerosis). We discuss some of the mechanisms of uPA action in diseases, and evidence that some of the early uPA inhibitors can modulate the progression of these

Modulation of lipoxidase activity by urokinase-type plasminogen activator
Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 1994Malignant cells show increased urokinase (UK) activity and decreased peroxidation of essential fatty acids (EFA). In order to explore this phenomenon the effect of UK on the lipoxidase activity was spectrophotometrically investigated. Decreased lipoxidase activity was obtained with increased UK concentrations (r = -1.000, p < 0.0001).
