The chicken urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene

Fibrinolysis, 1989
The chicken urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) cDNA and gene have been isolated and the complete nucleotide sequence of each established. cDNA sequence and Northern blot RNA analysis indicate that the chicken uPA mRNA is approximately 2500 nucleotides in size and contains a large 3'-noncoding region (998 nucleotides).

Fibrinolysis protease receptors promote activation of astrocytes to express pro-inflammatory cytokines

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Astrocytes contribute to the crosstalk that generates chronic neuro-inflammation in neurological diseases; however, compared with microglia, astrocytes respond to a more limited continuum of innate immune system stimulants.

Immunohistochemical localization of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and α2-antiplasmin in human corneal perforation: a case report

BMC Ophthalmology, 2012
Background Corneal ulceration leading to perforation is associated with infectious and non-infectious destructive conditions in the cornea. The fibrinolytic (plasminogen/plasmin) system is considered to contribute to tissue remodeling in the wound ...

Prognostic effects of SuPAR and Neopterin Levels on Patients with Lung Cancer

Pteridines, 2020
Background: Two unique biomarkers, soluble form of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and neopterin, play a crucial role in inflammatory processes.

Components of the plasminogen activation system promote engraftment of porous polyethylene biomaterial via common and distinct effects. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Rapid fibrovascularization is a prerequisite for successful biomaterial engraftment. In addition to their well-known roles in fibrinolysis, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or their inhibitor plasminogen ...

Prognostic relevance of MMP-2 (72-kD collagenase IV) in gastric cancer [PDF]

, 1998
The association of MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase 2, 72-kD collagenase IV) with invasive and metastatic capacity of tumor cells has implicated a potential role in the prognosis for cancer patients.

Rhenium‐Based β‐Galactosidase Probe Allows Senescence Profiling by Mass Cytometry

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
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 ...

Plasminogen Mediates the Pathological Effects of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Overexpression [PDF]

The American Journal of Pathology, 2004
Increased expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) is associated with different pathological conditions. Both uPAR-mediated signaling and plasmin-catalyzed extracellular proteolysis may contribute to pathogenesis.

Novel bi- and trifunctional inhibitors of tumor-associated proteolytic systems [PDF]

, 2003
Serine proteases, cysteine proteases, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Recently, a recombinant bifunctional inhibitor (chCysuPA(19-31)) directed against cysteine proteases and the urokinasetype ...
