Relationship of MMP-14 and TIMP-3 Expression with Macrophage Activation and Human Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability

Matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) promotes vulnerable plaque morphology in mice, whereas tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) overexpression is protective. MMP-14(hi)  TIMP-3(lo) rabbit foam cells are more invasive and more prone to apoptosis than MMP-14(lo)  TIMP-3(hi) cells. We inv...
