In the present study, we investigated whether the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) are involved in the induction of MMP-9 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated primary astrocytes. The expression of MMP-9 but not MMP-2 was increased by LPS.
## Abstract The expression of matrix metalloproteinaseβ9 (MMPβ9) has been implicated in progression of atherosclerotic lesions. The role and importance of the signaling pathway in the transcriptional regulation of MMPβ9 in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) was examined. Tumor necrosis factor
