NK2 homeobox 5 (Nkx2‐5) regulates expression of MMPs and TIMPs in human monocyte‐derived macrophages and human aortic smooth muscle cells. A, Representative immunoblot for MMPs and TIMPs in human peripheral blood monocyte‐derived macrophages infected with Ad‐EV or Ad‐Nkx2‐5. B, Representative immunoblot for MMPs and TIMPs in human aortic smooth muscle cells infected with Ad‐EV or Ad‐Nkx2‐5. C, Quantification of band density in (A). Results are expressed as fold of control group. Data represent the mean±SEM of 3 independent experiments. *P<0.05 versus Ad‐EV group. D, Quantification of band density in (B). Results are expressed as fold of control group. Data represent the mean±SEM of 3 independent experiments. *P<0.05 versus Ad‐EV group. MMP indicates matrix metalloproteinase; TIMP, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase.
