Urokinase and its receptor are essential components of the cell migration machinery, providing an inducible, transient and localized cell surface proteolytic activity. This activity has been shown to be required in normal and pathological forms of cellular invasiveness (i.e. in several embryonic dev

## Abstract We have previously shown that urokinase receptor physically and functionally interacts with Ξ±vΞ²5 vitronectin receptor, leading to tumor breast cell migration and invasion. Here, the link between these 2 receptors was further investigated by analyzing the expression levels of urokinase r
We have examined the role of urokinase receptor (uPAR) in tumor invasion and metastasis by developing a homologous model of uPAR overexpression in a rat breast cancer cell line (Mat B III) using gene transfer technique. Control (pRc-CMV) and experimental plasmid (pRc-uPAR-S) were transfected into Ma
