Abstract excerpt
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) enhances urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) expression in ovarian cancer cells; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for this event have not been investigated. In this study, we used the invasive ovarian cancer SK-OV-3 cell line to explore the signaling molecules and pathways essential for LPA-induced uPA up-regulation. With the aid of specific inhibitors and dominant...
