Matrix metalloproteinase-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor expression change in experimental retinal neovascularization

AIM: To investigate the signal transduction mechanism of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) mediated- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and retinal neovascularization (RNV) in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model. METHODS: C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups: control gr...
