Takeba et al., Arthritis Rheum 1999
(Arthritis, Rheumatoid) :
The effects of CGRP and VIP on proinflammatory cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase ( MMP ) production by RA synovial cells were estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and their messenger RNA ( mRNA ) expression by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ) using limiting dilutions of the complementary DNA
Onoue et al., Eur J Biochem 2004
(Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive) :
VIP , at 10 ( -7 ) m, reduced CSE stimulated MMP activity and caspase-3 activation
Xia et al., J Immunol 1996
:
Matrix metalloproteinase ( MMP ) -dependent in situ cleavage of [ 3H ] type IV human collagen in the layer of Matrigel by HuT 78 T cells also was not stimulated by VIP
