Induction of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a feature of primary bronchial epithelial cell (NHBEC) wound repair. Wound repair in monolayer NHBECs occurs over 24 h (n=4). (A) uPAR expression increases in cells at the wound edge 4 h after wounding (arrows). uPAR (B, E), urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) (C, F) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) (D, G) mRNA and protein levels in supernatants measured in wounded/unwounded cells over 24 h. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activity measured at 24 h by zymography (H) and ELISA-based MMP-9 activity assay (I). *p<0.05, ***p<0.001.
