Abstract
Remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical step in peripheral nerve regeneration. In fact, in human neuropathies,
endoneurial ECM enriched in fibrin and vitronectin associates with poor regeneration and worse clinical prognosis.
Accordingly in animal models, modification of the fibrinolytic complex activity has profound effects on nerve regeneration:
high fibrinolytic activity and low levels of fibrin correlate with better nerve regeneration. The urokinase plasminogen
receptor (uPAR) is a major component of the fibrinolytic complex, and binding to urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA)
promotes fibrinolysis and cell movement. uPAR is expressed in peripheral nerves, however, little is known on its potential
function on nerve development and regeneration. Thus, we investigated uPAR null mice and observed that uPAR is
dispensable for nerve development, whereas, loss of uPAR affects ne
