Ex-vivo vessels culture: A740003 effects on MMP9 content and activities. MMP9 content in PL extracts after treatment with A740003 is displayed (A). Paired t-test is applied. Quantification of MMP9-related gelatinolytic activities in PL extracts after treatment with A740003 at t1 and t3 is plotted (B). Wilcoxon signed rank test is applied. MMP9-related gelatinolytic activities in IMA extracts are presented (C) as scatter dot plot with median and interquartile range. A740003 on patients grouped for their smoking status: efficacy in diminishing the MMP9 content and activities is shown (D). Dotted line displays the control value in (D) histograms. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test is used. Values displayed as boxes are shown with whiskers 5–95 percentile. Significant differences are shown as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
