## Background: The authors found previously that plasma levels of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (upa) and its receptor (upar) were elevated in patients with bladder carcinoma and were associated with features of biologically aggressive disease. in the current study, they tested the hypothesi

involved in tumor invasion and metastasis.
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) play an important role in tumour invasion. Previous studies have shown by RT-PCR that uPA and uPAR mRNAs are expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and double immunoยฏ
## Urokinase -type plasminogen activator (u-PA) is thought to be implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to determine whether the u-PA content of cancer tissue is a prognostic factor in bladder cancer. Tissue samples from 46 patients with bladder cancer were assesse
Basal cell carcinoma of the skin (BCC) is the most common cancer worldwide. Unlike most other human malignancies, BCCs rarely metastasise. In this investigation, we show that the serine protease urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA), which is causally involved in metastasis, is expressed at lower l
Met protein encoded by MET oncogene is the high affinity receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF). HGF/SF has to be cleaved in its heterodimeric form by the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to become active as a ligand for Met receptor. The expression of Met protein
