From: Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 increase permeability of sheep pleura in vitro
Effect of 0.1 ng/ml MMP2 and MMP9 on the transmesothelial resistance (R TM ) of sheep pleura. A time-dependent decrease in transmesothelial resistance (RTM) occurred at both parietal and visceral pleura and on both the apical and basolateral side. For MMP2 the decrease on the apical side of parietal pleura is not significant. Data are given as mean ± SD (n = 6). ns: non-significant, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001 and *** p < 0.0001 compared to control RTM (ANOVA test with Dunett post-test).
