Urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor expression in colorectal neoplasms.
BACKGROUND The urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) may play a critical role in cancer invasion and metastasis. AIMS To study the involvement of uPAR in colorectal carcinogenesis. METHODS The cellular expression and localisation of uPAR were investigated in colorectal adenomas and invasive carcinomas by in situ hybridisation, immunohistochemistry, and northern and western bl...
متن کاملGene expression changes of urokinase plasminogen activator and urokinase receptor in rat testes at postnatal stages.
AIM To investigate the gene expression changes of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA)/urokinase receptor (uPAR) in rat testes at postnatal stages and explore the effects of uPA/uPAR system on the rat spermatogenesis. METHODS The mRNAs of uPA and uPAR in rat testes were measured by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at postnatal days 0, 5, 10, 15, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49...
متن کاملUrokinase, urokinase receptor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression on podocytes in immunoglobulin A glomerulonephritis
BACKGROUND/AIMS The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), uPA receptor (uPAR), and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 on podocytes in immunoglobulin A (IgA) glomerulonephritis (GN). METHODS Renal biopsy specimens from 52 IgA GN patients were deparaffinized and subjected to immunohistochemical staining for uPA, PAI-1, and uP...
متن کاملSoluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the emergency department: An update
Background: The biomarker soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an indicator of inflammation which is increased in a variety of chronic and acute disease states. Its most promising application in the emergency setting is to aid in the prognostic stratification of patients by identifying those at high risk of deterioration. This is a narrative review of studies evaluating t...
متن کاملCharacterization of urokinase receptor expression by human placental trophoblasts.
The processes of implantation and placentation are both dependent on the invasion and remodeling of the uterine endometrium and vasculature by trophoblasts. Because the secretion and autocrine binding of urokinase (uPA) appears to be a common mechanism used by cells to facilitate plasmin-dependent tissue invasion, we measured the production of uPA and expression of uPA receptors by trophoblasts...
