Abstract excerpt
The roles of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)9 in the control of pressure ulcers (PU) after hip fracture as well as how the rs1056629 in MMP9 3'UTR compromises the interaction between MMP9 and miR‑491 were explored. Online miRNA database (http://www.bioguo.org) was utilized to explore gene polymorphism in MMP9 3'UTR that might break the interaction between MMP9 and miRNA. Luciferase assay was utilized to confirm...
