## Abstract The expression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) has been implicated in progression of atherosclerotic lesions. The role and importance of the signaling pathway in the transcriptional regulation of MMP‐9 in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) was examined. Tumor necrosis factor
