Cannabidiol Decreases Metalloproteinase Activity and Normalizes Angiogenesis Factor Expression in UVB-Irradiated Keratinocytes from Psoriatic Patients

Figure 5

The level of metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-7) and metalloproteinase inhibitors (TIMP-1/2) in medium of keratinocytes isolated from psoriatic patents () or healthy subjects () and cultured following UVB irradiation (60 mJ/cm2) for 24 h with or without cannabidiol (CBD, 4 μM). are presented; x statistically significant differences vs. non treated group (control or psoriatic, respectively), ; y statistically significant differences between psoriatic and respective-treated control group, ; z statistically significant differences between UVB + CBD and only UVB-treated group, .
