## Abstract The net balance between urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type‐1 (PAI‐1) has been implicated in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. To elucidate the mechanism of the transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1)‐dependent up‐regulation of PAI‐1 expr
## Abstract ## Background Dominant‐negative transforming growth factor β type II receptor (TβRIIΔcyt) is a protein that blocks transforming growth factor (TGF‐β) signaling. Because the consequences of blocking TGF‐β have not been completely elucidated in liver fibrosis, we analysed the effects of
