✦ Synopsis

The biochemical, regulatory, and physiological aspects of plasmin formation by the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is discussed and its involvement in cancer malignancy analyzed. Cell surface plasminogen activation has been shown to be essential in extracellular matrix degradation, basement membrane dissolution, and cancer invasiveness and metastasis in a variety of model systems. The ability of cells to produce plasmin on their surface depends on the presence of uPA and plasminogen receptors, and is the basis of the regulation of the plasminogen activating system in vivo.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Constitutive activation of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) is a frequent molecular alteration in pancreatic cancer and a number of studies have suggested that constitutive NF‐κB activity plays a key role in the aggressive behavior of this disease. In an attempt to identify an e
