The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) play an important role in tumour invasion. Previous studies have shown by RT-PCR that uPA and uPAR mRNAs are expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and double immunoΒ―
The expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), its receptor (u-PAR) and metalloproteases activity were analyzed in 4 human gastric-cancer cell lines (AGS, Hs746T, SNU-1, and SNU-5), in an attempt to relate these activities to their invasive potential and tumorigenicity on the modifie
Met protein encoded by MET oncogene is the high affinity receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF). HGF/SF has to be cleaved in its heterodimeric form by the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to become active as a ligand for Met receptor. The expression of Met protein
