Figure 5. Effects of Celecoxib on the expression MMP2, 9 by corneal fibroblasts.

Figure 5

Cells were cultured in collagen gels for 48 hours in the presence of plasminogen and in the absence or presence of IL-1ß (0.1ng/mL) and the indicated concentrations of Celecoxib. Culture supernatants were then subjected to gelatin zymography. The positions of bands corresponding to pro-MMP2 and pro-MMP9 and active MMP2, 9 are indicated on the right, and those of molecular size are shown on the left. Data are representative of three independent experiments.
