Abstract
Tumor progression and neovascularization during malignant processes are believed to be associated with plasminogen activators and the PAI-1 inhibitor, but their role and interactions in various types of brain tumors have been studied insufficiently. To conduct a comparative study of plasminogen regulation in optic nerve sheath meningiomas, glioblastomas, and brain metastases of breast cancer, as well as in perifocal tissues surrounding the tumors. Tumors and perifocal areas of 19 breast cancer (BC) metastases, 24 glioblastomas, and 13 meningiomas without perifocal edema were investigated by ELISA in 56 patients aged 35-72 years. Histological control was carried out in each case. Significant differences were found in the levels of urokinase (uPA), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and PAI-1 inhibitor between glioblastomas and breast cancer metastases and the histologically unaltered (relatively intact) tissue around meningioma lesions (p≤0.05 in all cases). The levels of uPA-AG and uPA-act in meningioma were higher than those in the relatively intact tissue, while the levels of both tPA forms were reduced. The levels of uPA-AG and uPA-act in both malignant tumors and their perifocal areas were elevated compared to those in the...Continue Reading
