PLAUR and ovarian carcinoma: Using human ovarian carcinoma SKOV-3 cells expressing uPAR, hamster ovarian CHO-K1 cells lacking uPAR and stably transfected with cDNAs coding for GPI-anchored, truncated forms of uPARs lacking the N-terminal D1 domain and exposing (uPARD2D3) or lacking (uPARΔD2D3) the 84–95 sequence, we investigated whether the presence, or the deletion of uPAR84–95 plays a role in the growth and intra-abdominal dissemination of ovarian cells orthotopically implanted in nude mice.
