Figure 1

An uPAR deficiency alters cell adhesion to Vn and collagen: (A) uPAR deficiency promotes EC adhesion to Vn as observed by enhanced adhesion of uPAR-/- ECs compared to WT cells. WT and uPAR-/- cells on BSA serve as a control for this assay. (B) Enhanced adhesion of uPAR-/- ECs on collagen at 4 hr. (C) Adhesion of uPAR-/- ECs is similar to WT cells when plated on fibronectin. BSA served as a negative control matrix. The cell counts represent the mean ± SEM of three independent assays each performed in triplicate (40× field). Significance levels (*) indicates p value of < 0.05 between WT and uPAR-/- ECs.
