Elevated levels of expression of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its inhibitor PAI-1 have shown to be related to poor prognosis in a variety of cancer types. In the present study, cytosolic levels of uPA and PAI-1 were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in cytosols
The plasminogen activating system is involved in tumor growth and metastasis by degradation of extracellular matrix, and modulation of cell adhesion and migration. Benign and well-differentiated malignant ovarian tumors present as cystic lesions with preserved glandular morphology, whereas poorly di
## Abstract Cancer cell invasion is facilitated by extracellular matrix degrading proteases such as plasmin. We have studied the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) and urokinase receptor (uPAR) together with the γ2‐chain of laminin‐5 (lam‐γ2) by immunohistochemistry in 20 cases
