Interaction between the urokinase-type
plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) localizes cellular
proteolysis and promotes cellular proliferation and migration. The
interaction between uPA and uPAR at the surface of epithelial cells
thereby contributes to the pathogenesis of lung inflammation and
neoplasia. In this study, we sought to determine if uPA itself alters
uPAR expression by lung epithelial cells. uPA enhanced uPAR expression as well as 125I-uPA binding in Beas2B lung epithelial
cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The
uPA-mediated induction of uPAR is not accomplished through its receptor
and requires enzymatic activity. The low molecular weight fragment of
uPA, lacking the receptor binding domain, was as potent as intact
two-chain uPA in inducing expression of uPAR at the cell surface.
Plasmin, the end product of plasminogen activation, did not alter
uPA-mediated uPAR expression. Induction of uPAR by uPA represents a
novel pathway by which epithelial cells can regulate
uPAR-dependent cellular responses that may contribute to
stromal remodeling in lung injury or neoplasia.
