HMGB1 reduced MMP 1 and TIMP-1 mRNA expression. HDFs were treated with 50 ng/mL of HMGB1 for various times, and examined using real-time RT-PCR. (a and c) MMP-1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced, but TIMP1 mRNA level was increased in 48 hr after treatment with HMGB1 (**p < 0.01). (b) MMP-2 mRNA expression increased up to 24 h, but the increase was not statistically significant.
