Analysis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) in co-culture model. Quantitative analysis of band density in gelatin zymography of medium collected on culture day 21: Pro-MMP-9 (a), pro-MMP-2 (b), and active MMP-2 (c). The results represent fold changes relative to the control. Concentrations of TIMP-1 (d) and TIMP-2 (e) in medium collected on culture day 21. All data are shown as means ± SD of triplicate inserts. *p < 0.05 (Dunnett’s test against the control)
