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

open access: yesОбщая 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.

Soluble Urokinase Receptor and the Kidney Response in Diabetes Mellitus. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Diabetes Res, 2017
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. DN typically manifests by glomerular hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria; then, the disease progresses to impaired glomerular filtration rate, which leads to ...

Let-7 Family microRNAs Regulate the Expression of the Urokinase-Receptor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells. [PDF]

open access: yesCells
The urokinase-receptor (uPAR) exerts multiple functions supporting most cancer hallmarks. Increased uPAR expression is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in several cancer types, including hematologic malignancies. We previously reported that three

Gelsolin induces colorectal tumor cell invasion via modulation of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator cascade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Gelsolin is a cytoskeletal protein which participates in actin filament dynamics and promotes cell motility and plasticity. Although initially regarded as a tumor suppressor, gelsolin expression in certain tumors correlates with poor prognosis and ...

Prognostic relevance of MMP-2 (72-kD collagenase IV) in gastric cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The association of MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase 2, 72-kD collagenase IV) with invasive and metastatic capacity of tumor cells has implicated a potential role in the prognosis for cancer patients.

Novel bi- and trifunctional inhibitors of tumor-associated proteolytic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Serine proteases, cysteine proteases, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Recently, a recombinant bifunctional inhibitor (chCysuPA(19-31)) directed against cysteine proteases and the urokinasetype ...

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 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 ...
