The elevated expression of TLR4 and MMP9 in human abdominal aortic aneurysm tissues and its implication

Abstract Background Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) have been investigated to play significant roles in the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). But the reports on the expression pattern of TLR4 and MMP9 in human AAA specimens were relatively scant. The aim...
