Possible Interaction: Cocaine and Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Cocaine and many other psychostimulants strongly induce urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) expression in the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway, which plays a major role in drug-mediated behavioral plasticity [Bahi A, Boyer F, Gumy C, Kafri T, Dreyer JL.

Furthermore, animals infected with lentiviruses expressing uPA show enhanced conditional place preference for cocaine compared with tPA‐overexpressing animals.

Importantly, in a screening for genes induced after drug treatment we found that urokinase plasminogen‐type activator uPA ) was strongly regulated by cocaine in several protocols of drug administration.
