Plasminogen activators are membrane-associated, arginine-specific serine proteases which convert the inactive plasma zymogen plasminogen to plasmin, an active, broad-spectrum serine protease. Plasmin, the major fibrinolytic enzyme in blood, also participates in a number of physiologic functions invo
Tumor cell migration and invasion require complex interactions between tumor cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix. These interactions are modified by cell adhesion receptors, as well as by proteolytic enzymes and their receptors. Here, we study the influence of the protease urokinasetype p
We have investigated the effects of laminin, on the plasminogen-activator system of MCF-7 breast-carcinoma cells. MCF-7 cells were incubated on plastic or laminin-coated wells, and medium and cell lysate aliquots were assayed for tissue-type (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) by a
