Han et al., J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2006
(Liver Cirrhosis) :
In vitro experiments also demonstrated the role of MMP in activation of HSC cultured in 3-D ECM
Han et al., J Biol Chem 2007
(Liver Cirrhosis) :
HSC cultured in three-dimensional type-I collagen, but not in Matrigel, IL-1 induces expression of MMP-13 and its matured form at 50 and 25 kDa, respectively
Zhang et al., Hepatogastroenterology 2007
(Disease Models, Animal...) :
The expression of TGF-beta1, MMP-2 and TIMP-1 increased in liver or in HSC of hepatic fibrosis rats and decreased after treatment with IL-10
