The aim of this study was to determine urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) concentrations in tumour and adjacent normal tissue samples from 58 patients, and in serum samples from 40 of 58 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck obtained at diagnosis and after completion of therapy. uPA and PAI-1 serum concentrations were also measured in 28 healthy volunteers who served as controls. Measurements were made using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques. For both uPA and PAI-1, significantly elevated concentrations were measured in tumour tissue as compared with normal tissue (uPA: 8.89 versus 0.41 ng/mg total protein (mgp), P<0.0001; PAI-1: 23.9 versus 1.47 ng/mgp, P<0.0001). A statistically significant difference in uPA concentrations was found between normal laryngeal and non-laryngeal tissue (0.52 versus 0.3 ng/mgp, P=0.008), and in PAI-1 concentrations between T 1+2 and T 3+4 stage of disease (17.32 versus 35.63 ng/mgp, P=0.04). The uPA concentrations positively correlated with those of PAI-1 measured in both tumour ( R S=0.62, P<0.0001) and normal tissue ( R S=0.30, P=0.02). In serum samples, lower concentrations of PAI-1 were measured in the control group than in patients with cancer (412.0 versus 680.5 ng/ml serum (mls), P=0.0006). The time of collection of the serum sample did not influence uPA and PAI-1 concentrations, and no association was observed between their concentrations and any clinical and histopathological prognostic factors tested. Our results indicate that both uPA and PAI-1 may play a specific role in the process of invasion and metastasis, and might also be of prognostic value in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
