Statins Suppress TGF-β2-Mediated MMP-2 and MMP-9 Expression and Activation Through RhoA/ROCK Inhibition in Astrocytes of the Human Optic Nerve Head
PURPOSE: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) maintenance and remodeling. The present study aimed to determine whether transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2 regulates MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels and activities in astrocytes derived from the optic nerve head (ONH) and...
