"[To assess the participation of the plasminogen activation system in the invasiveness of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, we performed immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization to study the distribution of a urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), u-PA receptor (u-PAR), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2). u-PA and PAI-2 were expressed heterogeneously in cancer cells, and restricted expression was found in stromal cells, especially fibroblasts, that were located in the immediate proximity of the cancerous cells. u-PAR was found only in cancer cells located at the periphery of tumors.].
