Pathways of matrix metalloproteinase induction in heart failure: bioactive molecules and transcriptional regulation.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cause extracellular matrix degradation and may be involved in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques by degrading fibrous cap, resulting in the intravascular thrombus formation. Here we examined whether local overexpression of MMP-9 alters the characteristics of arteriosclerot...
