## Abstract Angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling and cell migration are associated with cancer progression and involve at least, the plasminogen activating system and its main physiological inhibitor, the plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1). Considering the recognized importance of P
We used an immunohistochemical assay with an antigenretrieval technique to study plasminogen activator inhibitor type-I (PAL I) expression in paraffin-embedded breast tissue samples at different stages of malignant transformation. We detected PAI-I in 15/20 invasive tumors. In several cases staining
A prominent phenotype of plasmin deficiency in mice is reduced metastasis in the MMTV-PymT transgenic breast cancer model. Proteolytically active plasmin is generated from inactive plasminogen by one of 2 activators, uPA or tPA. We now find that uPA deficiency alone significantly reduces metastasis
