An important role of matrix metalloproteinase-8 in angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo
19 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Growing evidence suggests a close association of plaque angiogenesis with atherosclerotic plaque formation and progression, and an important role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in angiogenesis and atherosclerosis. We attempted to investigate the functional involvements of MMP8 in angiogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Knockdown of MMP8 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HuVECs) with MMP-8 shRNA...
