Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) Is an Endogenous Activator of the MMP-9 Secreted by Placental Leukocytes: Implication in Human Labor

Fig 5

MMP-3 increments in placental leukocyte supernatants along the culture.

Multiplex assay was performed in placental leukocyte supernatants to measure MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-7 and MMP-9. MMP-3 showed a significant increase at 48 and 72h, while the other MMP-s did not significantly change. Bars represent mean ± SD of five independent experiments in duplicate. *P≤0.05, ***P≤0.001
