Thrombo-inflammatory biomarkers to predict sepsis outcome

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2021
Background: Sepsis has been redefined recently as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host responses to infection and septic shock. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (SuPAR) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1)

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Promotes Paracellular Transmigration of Neutrophils Via Mac-1, But Independently of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear.
