Polymorphism of MMP-3 Gene and Imbalance Expression of MMP-3 / TIMP-1 in Articular Cartilage Are Associated With an Endemic Osteochondropathy, Kashin- Beck Disease
2021-04-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The etiology of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD), an endemic osteochondropathy, is largely unknown. Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) plays a central role in the initiation and progression of cartilage destruction, however,no study has reported on the relationship between KBD and MMP-3. The objective of this study was to explore the polymorphism of MMP-3 gene and expression of MMP-3 / TIMP-1(Tissue...
