Eotaxin-induced expression of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase mRNA in human eosinophils
Eosinophil penetration across the basement membrane (BM) is thought to be dependent on the degradation of membrane components. In this process, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) appear to be primarily responsible for degradation of the BM. Matrix metalloproteinases -2 and MMP-9 degrade type IV collage...
