Single chain u PA ( scu PA ) was recently found to efficiently initiate cell surface plasminogen activation , and we herein describe the interaction of scu PA with PAI type 2 ( PAI 2 ) . ^^^ Although scu PA did not form SDS stable complexes with PAI 2 , preincubation of scu PA with 125I PAI 2 demonstrated a dose dependent inhibition of SDS stable complex formation between 125I PAI 2 and subsequently added two chain u PA . ^^^ This indicates that although a `` stable intermediate ' ' type complex between scu PA and PAI 2 was not detected , there was a physical association between the two molecules that shared at least some determinants with the two chain u PA PAI 2 complex . ^^^ In contrast , Glu 158 scu PA bound to u PA receptors on monocytes was only minimally inhibited by a large molar excess of PAI 2 . ^^^ These data suggest that the initiation of cell surface plasminogen activation may involve the partitioning of scu PA between PAI 2 ( a `` negative modulator ' ' ) and the u PA receptor ( a `` positive modulator ' ' ) and that the enzymatic activity of receptor bound scu PA may allow initiation of cell surface proteolysis even in PAI 2 rich environments . ^^^

The urokinase type plasminogen activator system ( uPAS ) , consisting of the urokinase plasminogen activator ( uPA ) , the uPA receptor ( uPA R ) , and their corresponding inhibitors , PAI 1 and PAI 2 , is thought to play a role in this process . ^^^ In KS , we observed positive immunostaining in 16 of 31 ( 51 . 6 % ) cases for uPA R , in 11 of 31 ( 35 . 5 % ) cases for uPA , in 3 of 31 ( 9 . 6 % ) cases for PAI 1 , and in 2 of 31 ( 6 . 4 % ) cases for PAI 2 . ^^^ The GP cases showed the following positive results : 4 of 25 ( 16 % ) for uPA R , 6 of 25 ( 24 % ) for uPA , 10 of 25 ( 40 % ) for PAI 1 , and 11 of 25 ( 44 % ) for PAI 2 . ^^^ The upregulation of uPA and its corresponding receptor , uPA R , in AS and KS supports the hypothesis of the proliferative nature of these lesions ; however , the upregulation of the inhibitors ( PAI 1 and PAI 2 ) in benign and reactive proliferative angiomatous lesions ( GP and AN ) shows how this process may be limited . . ^^^

We compared two methods that measure plasminogen activator inhibitor ( PAI ) activity in plasma based on the ability of PAI to inhibit tissue plasminogen activator ( tPA ) or urokinase ( uPA ) in order to determine which method most accurately measures plasma PAI activity after stressors , like hemorrhage . ^^^ Using standard curves derived from rhPAI 1 , we found that the tPA PAI assay was more sensitive than the uPA PAI assay . ^^^ However , we measured a 10 fold difference in PAI activity as measured between assays , suggesting that some endogenous plasma constituents ( tPA , uPA , plasminogen or plasmin ) may interfere with the accurate determination of PAI activity . ^^^ The uPA PAI assay does not have this confounding problem because endogenous uPA does not interfere with the assay , nor does it rise during hemorrhage . . ^^^

Although fragments of the extracellular matrix component hyaluronan induce macrophage production of inflammatory mediators , the effect of hyaluronan on the fibrinolytic mediators plasminogen activator inhibitor ( PAI ) 1 and urokinase type plasminogen activator ( uPA ) is unknown . ^^^ This study demonstrates that hyaluronan fragments augment steady state mRNA , protein , and inhibitory activity of PAI 1 as well as diminish the baseline levels of uPA mRNA and inhibit uPA activity in an alveolar macrophage cell line . ^^^ Hyaluronan fragments alter macrophage expression of PAI 1 and uPA at the level of gene transcription . ^^^ Similarly , hyaluronan fragments augment PAI 1 and diminish uPA mRNA levels in freshly isolated inflammatory alveolar macrophages from bleomycin treated rats . ^^^ These data suggest that hyaluronan fragments influence alveolar macrophage expression of PAI 1 and uPA and may be a mechanism for regulating fibrinolytic activity during lung inflammation . . ^^^

The effect of PAI 2 on papilloma formation did not appear to involve inhibition of the secreted protease urokinase type plasminogen activator ( uPA ) : PAI 2 accumulated predominantly in cells , and PAI 2 overexpression failed to alleviate a phenotype induced by uPA secretion , as demonstrated by a double transgenic strategy . ^^^ In addition , in situ hybridization revealed that uPA mRNA is not expressed concomitantly with PAI 2 in developing papillomas . ^^^ We conclude that overexpression of PAI 2 promotes the development and progression of epidermal papillomas in a manner that does not involve inhibition of its extracellular target protease , uPA , but appears to be related to an inhibition of apoptosis . . ^^^

PURPOSE : Urokinase type plasminogen activator ( uPA ) and its inhibitor , plasminogen activator inhibitor ( PAI ) 1 , have been shown to be related to poor prognosis in a variety of malignant solid tumors . ^^^ Studies on the prognostic relevance of uPA and PAI 1 in ovarian cancer , however , have been inconclusive . ^^^ The current study tests the hypothesis that elevated expression of uPA and PAI 1 is associated with prognosis and disease progression . ^^^ EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN : uPA and PAI 1 were prospectively measured by quantitative ELISA in tumor samples from 103 ovarian cancer patients ( 82 primary invasive epithelial carcinomas , 9 low malignant potential tumors , and 12 recurrent ovarian carcinomas ) . ^^^ RESULTS : uPA but not PAI 1 levels were consistently associated with malignant progression , with levels increased from low malignant potential tumors to primary tumors ( uPA , P = 0 . 04 ; PAI 1 , P = 0 . 019 ) , from early to advanced disease stages ( uPA , P = 0 . 014 ; PAI 1 , P = 0 . 23 ) , and from primary to intra abdominal metastatic tumors ( uPA , P = 0 . 001 ; PAI 1 , P = 0 . 16 ) . ^^^

Indeed in several tumour types , elevated levels of uPA , its receptor ( uPAR ) or its inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 ( PAI 1 ) is associated with a poorer prognosis . ^^^ The aims were to assess whether the uPA , uPAR and / or PAI 1 correlates with angiogenic activity and could therefore be a useful objective clinical measure of tumour neovascularization ; and to clarify whether the poor outcome associated with high levels of the urokinase system is due to its association with angiogenesis . ^^^ The cytosolic levels of uPA , PAI 1 and uPAR were therefore measured by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay , together with tumour vascularity , in 136 well characterized invasive breast carcinomas . ^^^ There were significant relationships between uPA and uPAR ( Spearman r=0 . 37 , p < 0 . 0001 ) , uPA and PAI 1 ( Spearman r=0 . 19 , p=0 . 03 ) and between uPAR and PAI 1 ( Spearman r=0 . 23 p=0 . 01 ) . ^^^ A significant correlation was also observed between PAI 1 and vessel remodelling ( Spearman r=0 . 34 , p=0 . 04 ) , patient age ( p=0 . 01 ) , nodal status ( p=0 . 047 ) and tumour grade ( p=0 . 04 ) , but no association between tumour vascularity and PAI ( p=0 . 96 ) , uPA ( p=0 . 69 ) or uPAR ( p=0 . 81 ) was present . ^^^
