Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) expression is quickly up-regulated after injury, and functions to regulate wound repair and various mucosal immune processes. We evaluated the global transcriptional response of airway epithelial cells from wild-type and Mmp7-null mice cultured at an air-liquid interface. The analysis of differentially expressed genes between genotypes after injury revealed an enrichment of...
