Urokinase and type I plasminogen activator inhibitor production by normal human hepatocytes: modulation by inflammatory agents

, 1994
We examined the effects of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and transforming growth factor-beta) on the plasminogen activator system (urokinase, tissue-type plasminogen activator, type 1 plasminogen activator ...

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 ...

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Urokinase Plasminogen Activator

, 2016
The urokinase plasminogen activator system (uPAS) is an essential mechanism in a wide variety of biological processes such as fibrinoloysis, inflammation, atherosclerotic plaque formation, matrix remodeling during wound healing, tumor invasion ...

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 ...

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor and cardiotoxicity in doxorubicin-treated breast cancer patients: a prospective exploratory study

Cardio-Oncology
Background Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor is an inflammatory biomarker that may prognosticate cardiovascular outcomes. We sought to determine the associations between soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor and established ...

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...
