The mRNA expression and protein expression of MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, and TIMP1 in injured arteries 14 days after balloon angioplasty. (a) qRT-PCR analysis of MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, and TIMP1 mRNA expression, GAPDH served as internal standard. (b) Western blot analysis of MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, and TIMP1 protein expression, GAPDH served as internal standard. Each bar shows as mean ± SD. P < 0.05; P < 0.01; P < 0.001.
