One of great importance, urokinase (uPA) and its high affinity receptor, the GPI-anchored membrane CD87 (uPAR), is critical in tumour progression and its level of expression is correlated with poor prognosis of various cancers such as prostate [ 2 ] , breast [ 3 ] , colon [ 4 ] , ovarian [ 5 ] , gastric [ 6 ] , brain [ 7 ] , and lung cancer [ 8 ] . Urokinase (uPA) and its main product plasmin belong to the very early proteases [ 9 10 11 ] that activate the metallo-protease (MMP) cascade and therefore control cell motility, tissue remodelling and the activation of various angiogenic factors (VEGF, TGFβ).

More importantly, Glu351 of PAI-1 is a specificity determinant for uPA, thrombin and plasmin, but not for tPA.
