Abstract

Induction of the urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) promotes cell adhesion through its interaction with vitronectin (VN) in the extracellular matrix, and facilitates cell migration and invasion by localizing uPA to the cell surface. We provide evidence that this balance between cell adhesion and cell detachment is governed by PA inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). First, we demonstrate that uPAR and PAI-1 bind to the same site in VN (i.e., the amino-terminal somatomedin B domain; SMB), and that PAI-1 competes with uPAR for binding to SMB. Domain swapping and mutagenesis studies indicate that the uPAR-binding sequence is located within the central region of the SMB domain, a region previously shown to contain the PAI-1-binding motif. Second, we show that PAI-1 dissociates bound VN from uPAR and detaches U937 cells from their VN substratum. This PAI-1 mediated release of cells from VN appears to occur independently of its ability to function as a protease inhibitor, and may help to explain why high PAI-1 levels indicate a poor prognosis for many cancers. Finally, we show that uPA can rapidly reverse this effect of PAI-1. Taken together, these results suggest a dynamic regulatory role for PAI-1 and uPA in uPAR-mediated cell adhesion and release.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
