Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 increase permeability of sheep pleura in vitro
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are two gelatinase members which have been found elevated in exudative pleural effusions. In endothelial cells these MMPs increase paracellular permeability via the disruption of tight junction (TJ) proteins occludin and claudin. In the present st...
