## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The vascular extracellular matrix is maintained by a dynamic balance between matrix synthesis and degradation. This equilibrium is disrupted in arterial pathologies such as abdominal aortic aneurysm. Lowβlevel laser irradiation (LLLI) promotes wound healing
Citrus fruits are high in naringin, which has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular diseases. However, the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) regulation involved in cell migration and invasion remains to be identified. Naringin inhibited tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced expression of
## 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
