Transforming Growth Factor-β1-dependent Urokinase Up-regulation and Promotion of Invasion Are Involved in Src-MAPK-dependent Signaling in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells
27 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) has been implicated in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. We reported previously that transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 induces a dose- and time-dependent up-regulation of uPA mRNA and protein in highly invasive human ovarian cancer cell line HRA, leading to invasion. To further elucidate the mechanism of the invasive effect of TGF-beta1, we investigated which...
