Fig. 7. Addition of an inhibitor of MMP2 and MMP-9 suppresses lymphangiogenesis and vascular angiogenesis.
(A) Average sprouting area by addition of an MMP-2/MMP-9 inhibitor. The inhibitor significantly prevented both vascular angiogenesis and lymphatic angiogenesis. n=5. (B) Representative image of blood vessel (BV) and lymphatic vessel (LV) with MMP inhibitor at D7. *, p<0.01, error bar=±SD.
