Suppression of osteosarcoma cell invasion by chemotherapy is mediated by urokinase plasminogen activator activity via up-regulation of EGR1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumour response following chemotherapy are largely unknown. We found that low dose anti-tumour agents up-regulate early growth response 1 (EGR1) expression. EGR1 is a member of the immediate-early gene

Thrombolytic proteins profiling: High‐throughput activity, selectivity, and resistance assays

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We present optimized biochemical protocols for evaluating thrombolytic proteins, enabling rapid and robust screening of enzymatic activity, inhibition resistance, and fibrin affinity, stimulation, and selectivity. The outcome translates to key clinical indicators such as biological half‐life and bleeding risk. These assays streamline the development of

KLK7 overexpression promotes an aggressive phenotype and facilitates peritoneal dissemination in colorectal cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KLK7, a tissue kallikrein‐related peptidase, is elevated in advanced colorectal cancer and associated with shorter survival. High KLK7 levels in ascites correlate with peritoneal metastasis. In mice, KLK7 overexpression increases metastasis. In vitro, KLK7 enhances cancer cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and spheroid formation, driving ...

Crystal structures of two human vitronectin, urokinase and urokinase receptor complexes [PDF]

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2008
The urokinase receptor (uPAR) can recognize several ligands. The structural basis for this multiple ligand recognition by uPAR is unknown. This study reports the crystal structures of uPAR in complex with both urokinase (uPA) and vitronectin and reveal that uPA occupies the central cavity of the receptor, whereas vitronectin binds at the outer side of ...

Basilar Artery Occlusion Stroke Managed With Tenecteplase Versus Alteplase Before Endovascular Treatment (BAO‐TNK)

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of tenecteplase (TNK) versus alteplase (TPA) in patients with basilar artery occlusion prior to endovascular treatment (EVT). Methods In this retrospective multicenter study (BAO‐TNK), we analyzed consecutive BAO patients from 14 U.S.

The urokinase receptor as an entertainer of signal transduction

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
The serine-protease urokinase (uPA) and its specific membrane receptor uPAR controls matrix degradation through the conversion of plasminogen into plasmin and play a crucial role in a number of biological processes including local fibrinolysis, inflammation, angiogenesis, matrix remodelling during wound healing, tumor invasion and metastasis.

Population‐Based Multi‐Omics and Cohort Study Identifying Predictive Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets for Psoriatic Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psoriatic disease (PsD) is a chronic skin disease, with challenges in early risk stratification and drug development. Through gene‐level causal inference framework and expression level validation, combined with longitudinal cohort study, CDSN and PRSS8 have been identified as candidate biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PsD.

A Metalloporphyrin Nanosystem Enables Non‐Invasive Visualization and Specific Treatment for Thrombosis and Ischemic Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Thrombotic ischemic stroke is a severe neurological disease of the brain that presents major challenges for effective diagnosis and treatment. Precisely engineered Ir and Mn cores within a single porphyrin framework of 4IrMn nanoparticles enable endogenous ONOO−‐ or laser‐activated switching among NIR‐CL imaging, photothermal / photodynamic therapy ...
