Endogenous fibrinolysis might lead to hematoma progression in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We studied plasma biomarkers of fibrinolysis and hemostasis in twenty-two patients with ICH and nine healthy controls (HC) in a single-center study.

The Role of CAF‐derived Vitronectin in Promoting Colorectal Cancer Progression and Immunosuppression
Cancer‐associated fibroblast (CAF)‐derived VTN upregulates SLC6A8 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and macrophages through enhanced FAK phosphorylation. This modulation significantly increases the cellular uptake of creatine and ATP, promoting cancer progression and macrophage polarization.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator: a new target for male contraception?
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is closely related to male reproduction. With the aim of investigating the possibility for uPA as a potential contraceptive target, in the present work, Kunming male mice were immunized by human uPA subcutaneous

Myosin as cofactor and substrate in fibrinolysis [PDF]
Myosin accelerates plasminogen activation by tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), and is degraded extensively by plasmin. Myosin binds both tPA and plasminogen, and enhances activation of des1-77-plasminogen by tPA but not by urokinase-type ...

Minactivin expression in human monocyte and macrophage populations [PDF]
Adherent monolayer cultures of human blood monocytes, peritoneal macrophages, bone marrow macrophages, and colonic mucosa macrophages were examined for their ability to produce and secrete minactivin, a specific inactivator of urokinase-type plasminogen ...

HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]
The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in

Migrating Keratinocytes Express Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator
When confluent keratinocyte cultures were wounded by cutting with a blade, the cells rapidly retracted from the wounded site, leaving an area denuded of cells. Within 3-4 h of wounding, keratinocytes began to migrate from the edges and gradually reepithelialized the entire denuded area.

Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Inhibits Efferocytosis of Neutrophils [PDF]
Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, also called efferocytosis, plays an essential role in the resolution of inflammation. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a multifunctional protein that has been implicated in inflammatory conditions, including pneumonia and severe infection, which are often accompanied by the development of acute lung injury.

We designed and synthesized novel mannose‐6‐phosphate (M6P) derivatives to enhance their binding affinity for the CI‐M6P/IGF2 receptor, which plays a key role in lysosomal targeting. Using a fluorescence polarization assay, we evaluated di‐, tri‐, and penta‐M6P peptides and modified M6P analogs.

Plasminogen influence on the PAI-1 release by human platelets [PDF]
РАІ-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1), as a major physiological inhibitor of tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase, plays a key role in the regulation of fibrinolysis in vivo.
