Release and Activity of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 by Alveolar Macrophages from Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Destruction of lung elastin is critical for development of emphysema associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Lung macrophages release elastolytic enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, along with tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP). We examined the production and acti...
