Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease involved in cancer invasion and metastasis. uPA mediates its action while attached to a membrane-bound receptor (uPAR). In this investigation we show that uPAR levels correlate with uPA levels in human breast cancers. uPAR levels, however, d
In order to evaluate the relationship of plasminogen activator (PA) activity to the expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors, we assayed primary tumor specimens from 121 cases of female breast cancer. Other clinical and histopathological variables were also investigated with respe
We measured antigen levels of 2 kinds of plasminogen activator, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (UK), as well as those of their primary inhibitors, type-I plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAL I) and type-2 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-2), in
