Figure 4. MAC treatment increases MMP activities in mouse cell lines.

Figure 4

A–C. Activities of MMP2 or MMP9 from the cell extracts of the mouse smooth muscle (A), macrophage (B), and endothelial cells (C) 12 hours after MAC treatment (assembled by C5b6: 24 µg/ml and + for C7, C8 or C9: 24 µg/ml) on the cells. The MMP activities were examined by gelatin zymography. Coomassie staining of SDS-PAGE showed equal protein loading. Fold changes in the MMP activities treated by MAC assemble compared to that treated with C5b6 alone. The data from the independent experiments (n) are displayed by boxplots. *P<0.05 vs C5b6.
