System of plasminogen regulators in the skin of intact uPA gene-knockout C57BL/6-PlautmI.IBug-This Plau6FDhu/GFDhu mice and in a model of chronic neurogenic pain by E. M. Frantsiyants, E. I. Surikova, I. V. Kaplieva, I. V. Neskubina, L. S. Kozlova, V. A. Bandovkina, L. K. Trepitaki, V. V. Pozdnyakova

“…Intact uPA-deficient C57BL/6-PlautmI.IBug-ThisPlau6FDhu/GFDhu mice differed from C57BL/6 mice by a decreased level of PG regulators, excluding plasmin in all mice, PG in males and urokinase receptor (uPAR). uPA-deficient mice with CNP showed continuing decrease in levels of plasminogen regulators, except for uPAR in all mice, PG in males and the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1-act) in females.Conclusion. Almost the entire cascade of PG regulators was inhibited in intact uPA-deficient mice of both genders, compared to C57BL/6 animals, except for uPAR in females, PG in males and plasmin in all animals. …”
