MMP, TIMP mRNA expression. Densitometric analysis of MMP-1, -2, -3, -8, 9, TIMP-1, and -3 in control, LTA-, LPS-, and CpG-ODN-stimulated pulmonary tissue as well as total MMP and TIMP expression. Values of mRNA expressions are normalized to L32 and expressed as arbitrary units (AU). Alphabetic characters indicate 𝑃-values<.05 from Bonferroni post-hoc testing (a = versus control, b = versus LTA, c = versus LPS, d = versus CpG-ODN; M ± SEM; 𝑛=4/group).
