The Biological Behaviors of Rat Dermal Fibroblasts Can Be Inhibited by High Levels of MMP9

Figure 2

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) activity detected by Gelatin zymography. The activity of MMP9 in model group was 1.62-fold greater than that in control group. When the cells were treated with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), the activity of MMP9 decreased by 70.7% compared with model group. * versus control group; # versus model group. Data are mean ± SEM, .
