medicine | expression of uPA, its receptor, and of inhibitor PAI-1 is increased in response to Helicobacter pylori, and for uPA, but not the receptor or PAI-1, requires the virulence factor CagE. Helicobacter pylori also stimulates soluble and cell surface-bound uPA activity. It stimulates epithelial cell proliferation, which is inhibited by uPA immunoneutralization and uPA receptor knock-down. Expogenous uPA also stimulates proliferation that is further increased after PAI-1 knock-down | Homo sapiens |

epithelial cell | gastric biopsy probes. uPA, uPA receptor and inhibitor PAI-1 are expressed in H+/K+ ATPase- and vesicular monoamine transporter 2-expressing cells. uPA is also expressed in pepsinogen- and uPA receptor-containing cells. In each case, expression is increased in response to Helicobacter pylori, and for uPA, but not the receptor or PAI-1, requires the virulence factor CagE. Helicobacter pylori also stimulates soluble and cell surface-bound uPA activity | Homo sapiens | - |
