MMP9rs3918242 TT genotype is associated with elevated serum TG and LDL-C, and enhanced LDL-C-lowering response upon simvastatin treatment in Chinese patients with CHD.
Association between matrix metalloproteinase 9C-1562T polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery disease: an update systematic review and meta-analysis.
Circulating concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) are associated with cardiovascular disease mortality in patients with coronary artery disease.
Circulating levels of MMP2 and MMP9 are independently associated with development of an acute MI rather than stable angina as the initial clinical presentation of coronary artery disease.
Circulating levels of MMP2 and MMP9 are independently associated with development of an acute MI rather than stable angina as the initial clinical presentation of coronary artery disease.
In conclusion, we suggest that the TT and CT genotypes and T allele of MMP-9rs3918242 polymorphism is correlated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease in a Chinese population.
In stable CHD patients with elevated Lp(a), MMP-9 levels are positively associated with the size of the necrotic core of coronary atherosclerotic plaques.
In the total sample, the gelatinase B promoter polymorphism was not associated with the risk of CAD and MI or with the extent of CAD defined either by the number of diseased coronary arteries or--in patients with coronary angiography--by a score for coronary heart disease (CHD) according to the Gensini score.
Lack of association between matrix metalloproteinase-9 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and coronary artery disease in Turkish population.
Rat coronary atherosclerosis heart disease model can be successfully established by feeding with high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of VD3, the permeability of coronary artery in coronary heart disease rat model is significantly increased, which may be related to up-regulation of MMP-9, CD40L, TNF-α and CRP expression.
