malfunction | intracerebroventricular microinjection of MMP8-specific shRNA lentivirus reduces the extent of ischemia-induced brain damage, as assessed by infarct volume, neurological score, microglial activation, and TNF-alpha expression. Administration of an MMP8 inhibitor (M8I) immediately after reperfusion reduced brain damage | Mus musculus |
physiological function | neutrophil collagenase matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP8) belongs to the MMPs that have important roles in various inflammation-related disorders. MMP8 is a neuroinflammatory mediator in activated microglia by regulating TNF-alpha productivity. Pathogenetic role of MMP8 | Mus musculus |
