## Abstract Expression of 12 matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) after exposure of human melanoma cell lines C32TG and Mewo to nitric oxide (NO) was investigated by the reverse transcriptionโpolymerase chain reaction. Expression of the mRNA of MMPโ1, โ3, โ10 and โ13 in C32TG cells was transcriptionall
## Abstract Transforming growth factor (TGFโฮฒ1) is a potent inducer of chondrogenesis and stimulant of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinasesโ3 (TIMPโ3) is located in ECM and is the major inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanase,
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.
