PLAU and adenocarcinoma: These hyperproliferative adenocarcinoma cell lines displayed a TGFβ induced increase in the expression of the extracellular matrix degrading proteinases, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which correlated with an invasive cell phenotype as measured by in vitro migration, invasion and cell scattering assays.
