Differential Regulation of MMPs, Apoptosis and Cell Proliferation by the Cannabinoid Receptors CB1 and CB2 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Cardiac Myocytes

Differential Regulation of MMPs, Apoptosis and Cell Proliferation by the Cannabinoid Receptors CB1 and CB2 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Cardiac Myocytes

Cannabinoids (CB) are implicated in cardiovascular diseases via the two main receptor subtypes CB<sub>1</sub>R and CB<sub>2</sub>R. This study investigated whether cannabinoids regulate the activity of matrix metalloproteases (MMP-2, MMP-9) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VS...
