The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Negative regulation of urokinase receptor activity by a GPI-specific phospholipase C in breast cancer cells. [PDF]

, 2017
The urokinase receptor (uPAR) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that promotes tissue remodeling, tumor cell adhesion, migration and invasion.

Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor Predicts Survival and Hepatic Decompensation in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) based therapies has significantly improved the prognosis of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the variable treatment response and the uncertain benefit in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis emphasise the urgent need for prognostic ...

Urokinase Regulates Vitronectin Binding by Controlling Urokinase Receptor Oligomerization [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Adhesion of monocytes to the extracellular matrix is mediated by a direct high affinity interaction between cell-surface urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) and the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin. We demonstrate a tight connection between uPA-regulated uPAR oligomerization and high affinity binding to immobilized ...

Intrapleural Fibrinolysis with Urokinase versus Alteplase in Complicated Pleural Effusions and Empyema: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
Background Intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy (IPFT) has been used as an effective agent since 1949 for managing complicated pleural effusion and empyema. Several agents, such as streptokinase, urokinase (UK), and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (

Cyclo19,31[D-Cys19]-uPA19-31 is a potent competitive antagonist of the interaction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator with its receptor (CD87) [PDF]

, 2001
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) represents a central molecule in pericellular proteolysis and is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes such as tissue remodelling, wound healing, tumor invasion, and ...

Overexpression of the urokinase receptor splice variant uPAR-del4/5 in breast cancer cells affects cell adhesion and invasion in a dose-dependent manner and modulates transcription of tumor-associated genes [PDF]

, 2012
mRNA levels of the urokinase receptor splice variant uPAR-del4/5 are associated with prognosis in breast cancer. Its overexpression in cancer cells affects tumor biologically relevant processes.
