additional information | enzyme expression analysis in bones and cartilage of healthy subjects and patients with osteoarthritis (OA), overview. During disease progression, MMP-12 is expressed at the sides of the cartilage and bone erosion and in the bone cysts. Furthermore, it is traced in the osteocytes of the subchondral bone. Osteoblast-like cells and bone lining cells express MMP-12 during the stage of severe OA. MMP-12 expression is positively correlated with the age and the BMI of OA patients | Homo sapiens | - |
