Urokinase plasminogen activator enzymatic activity is increased in the contused mouse spinal cord. Urokinase plasminogen activator zymographic results (A) show detectable uPA enzyme activity in control spinal tissue. After SCI, tissue levels of uPA enzyme activity are markedly increased by 1 and 3 days after injury. (B) Quantitative analysis of zymographic results show uPA levels significantly elevated at 1 day after SCI as compared with controls, with spinal levels further elevated at 3 days after injury (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; F = 18.7, d.f. = 2, 9). Quantitative data are expressed as mean±s.d.
