FSL-1 Induces MMP-9 Production through TLR-2 and NF-κB /AP-1 Signaling Pathways in Monocytic THP-1 Cells
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory disorders. FSL-1 (fibroblast-stimulating lipopeptide-1) induces cytokine production by monocytes/macrophages. However, it is unclear whether FSL-1 is also able to induce MMP-9 production...
