Expression and Activation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Rat Brain after Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Expression and Activation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Rat Brain after Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix and carry out key functions during development and after injury. By means of zymography, Western blot and immunohistochemistry, we studied MMP-2 (gelatinase A) and MMP-9 (gelatinase B) in rat brain after focal cerebral ischemia. The c...
