In the present study, uPA, PAI-1 and uPAR-wt mRNA values did not differ significantly between tumors in relation to clinical and histomorphological parameters, except for a significant relationship between high PAI-1 mRNA expression and tumor grade and between PAI-1 and uPAR-wt mRNA levels and the histological STS subtype, which has also been reported by others [21]. Here, SERPINE1 is linked to neoplasm.
