Possible Mechanism of Betel-quid-extract-induced Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2

Possible Mechanism of Betel-quid-extract-induced Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2

Betel quid extract (BQE) has been demonstrated to induce matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression. This study aimed to establish the possible mechanism involved in this event. Methods: Western blotting, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, and gelatin zymography were used to study the...
