Crystal structure and cellular functions of uPAR dimer

Nature Communications, 2022
The structural basis for urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) dimerization is not understood. Here, the authors solve the crystal structure of soluble uPAR dimers, identifying substantial structural changes compared to the monomer.

Involvement of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor in the Formation of a Profibrotic Microenvironment in the Epicardial Region

Общая реаниматология, 2021
The study of the mechanisms of development and progression of fibrosis is one of the key directions of modern cardiology. Our work suggests that the urokinase receptor (uPAR) is involved in the regulation of mesothelial cell activity and epicardial ...

suPAR, a Circulating Kidney Disease Factor

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a multifaceted, GPI-anchored three-domain protein. Release of the receptor results in variable levels of soluble uPAR (suPAR) in the blood circulation.

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

The Diagnostic Value of Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor in Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Disease in Emergency Department

Düzce Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021
Aim: The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) system consists of a protease, a receptor (urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, uPAR), and inhibitors that can be expressed on various cell types.

Regulation of Urokinase/Urokinase Receptor Interaction by Heparin-like Glycosaminoglycans [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
We show here that the interaction between the urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor, which plays a critical role in cell invasion, is regulated by heparan sulfate present on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. Heparan sulfate oligomers showing a composition close to the dimeric repeats of heparin (glucosamine-NSO(3)(6-OSO ...

Role of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor in the Regulation of Angiogenic Properties of Sca1+ Vasculogenic Progenitor Cells

Общая реаниматология, 2022
Neoangiogenesis is the key process determining myocardial regeneration after infarction. The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is known to play an important role in the regulation of endothelial cell function and postnatal angiogenesis.

Urokinase receptor genotypes in colorectal cancer [PDF]

Carcinogenesis, 1998
A previous study has reported a high frequency of rare alleles of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) in a set of 15 colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. Our study investigated uPAR gene variation in 92 CRC patients and in tumour DNA from a subset of 69 patients using the PLAUR-IVS3 marker located in an intron of this gene.

Predicting Mortality in African Americans With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor, Coronary Artery Calcium, and High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, outcomes in individual patients vary. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a bone marrow–derived signaling molecule associated with ...
