title: [Plasminogen activators of urokinase and tissue types and their inhibitor (PAI-1) in cytosol fraction in thyroid diseases].
abstract: Enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) was used to estimate the levels of plasminogen activators of urokinase (uPA) and tissue (tPA) types and one of their inhibitors (PAI-I) in the cytosolic fraction of the thyroid in 129 patients with malignant and benign tumors and various non-cancer diseases of the gland. Tumors from patients with thyroid cancer displayed the lowest levels of tPA and the highest levels of uPA and PAI-I, while those from patients with benign thyroid diseases, including adenoma, had high concentrations of tPA and relatively low levels of uPA and PAI-I in the tissue of the diseased organ. At the same time, the lowest levels of uPA and PAI-I were found in patients suffering from toxic goiter with and without adenomatosis. In terms of uPA and PAI-I levels, patients with nodular colloidal goiter were intermediate between those with toxic goiter and adenoma, on the one hand, and those with thyroid cancer, on the other.
