Relationship between uPA/uPAR/PAI and inflammatory joint disease
Abstract:Recently, many researches focus on relationship between urokinase-type plasminogen activator/its receptor/its inhib-itors system ( uPA/uPAR/PAI ) and inflammatory joint disease (LJD). uPA/uPAR/PAI may promote synovial hyperplasia, destroy ar-throdial cartilage and bone in LJD. We overview recent studies with an aim of searching new ways and targets to prevent and cure LJD.
