Abstract：
:The expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), u-PA receptor (u-PAR) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) 1 and 2 was examined in 105 cases of primary lung cancer tissue using immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques. The expression of u-PA, u-PAR and PAI-1 was detected in approximately 80% of primary lung cancers, whereas detectable PAI-2 expression was observed only in half of the overall cases. We assessed the relationships between the expression pattern and clinicopathological findings and found that a diminished expression level of PAI-2 was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and a poor prognosis. These results indicate that PAI-2 may play a critical role in the regulation of extracellular matrix degradation during tumour cell invasion and metastasis, and the expression of PAI-2 may be useful as a marker for evaluating the prognosis of lung cancer.
