    Abstract : The release of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) from endometrial stromal cells decreased after progesterone stimulation, due to upregulation of PA inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and uPA receptor (uPAR). Subsequently, the uPA:PAI-1 complex was internalized and degraded via uPAR. READ MORE

  5. 3. The significance of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) in tumour growth and Linomide-induced upregulation of u-PA's endogenous inhibitor PAI-2

    Abstract : The progressive process of tumour invasion and generation of metastases is the primary cause of death for most patients with cancer. Some of the regulatory components of this progressive process are adhesion, migration, and proteolysis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Activation of the novel PDGFS by plasminogen activators in tumorigenesis

    Author : Monika Ehnman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Members of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family are mitogens for cells of a mesenchymal origin and have important functions both during development and in the adult. Their role in developmental processes has been extensively investigated by methodical targeted gene inactivations, revealing critical involvement in microvascular pericyte recruitment, neural crest development and alveogenesis.
