Dynamic Assembly of the Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Signaling Receptor Complex Determines the Mitogenic Activity of Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) functions in concert with co-receptors, including integrins, FPR-like receptor-1/lipoxin A4 receptor, and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), to initiate cell signaling. uPAR co-receptors may be dynamically organized into a multiprotein signaling receptor complex.

Multimodal therapy for synergic inhibition of tumour cell invasion and tumour-induced angiogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) are highly invasive tumours with frequent local and distant recurrence. Metastasis formation requires degradation of the extracellular matrix, which is fulfilled by membrane-associated ...

Cathepsin G is associated with cerebral vascular injury in myeloid leukemia: a pathologic insight into intracranial hemorrhage

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal complication of leukemia; however, mechanisms underlying its development, particularly central nervous system (CNS) involvement and vascular injury, remain unclear.

Origin and diversification of the plasminogen activation system among chordates

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The plasminogen (PLG) activation system is composed by a series of serine proteases, inhibitors and several binding proteins, which together control the temporal and spatial generation of the active serine protease plasmin. As this proteolytic

Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor contribute to chemoresistance in leukemia

Oncology Letters, 2017
The soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) have been proposed as useful biomarkers of tumor progression. Recently, suPAR was associated with chemoresistance in lung cancer. However, its clinical significance in leukemia has not previously been investigated.

Effect of dsRNA on Mesangial Cell Synthesis of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 1 and Tissue Plasminogen Activator [PDF]

, 2009
Background/Aims: Viral infections are a major problem worldwide and many of them are complicated by virally induced glomerulonephritides. Progression of kidney disease to renal failure is mainly attributed to the development of renal fibrosis ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

QSAR modelling to predict structural features of certain sulfonamide as Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator inhibitors

Chemical Physics Impact
The serine hydrolase family includes serine proteases. It is essential for hydrolyzing protein peptide bonds and breaking them. The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) selectively binds to the uPAR on numerous cell types, including cancer cells ...

Binding of Human Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator and Plasminogen to Borrelia Species [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1996
Borrelia burgdorferi binds human urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), which cleaves plasminogen (Pgn) to plasmin. The ability of other Borrelia species to bind uPA, Pgn, or both was investigated. Borrelia coriacae, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia parkeri, Borrelia anserina, and Borrelia turicatae were compared with infectious and noninfectious B ...
