In addition, we clearly detected the messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNA) of four matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-10, and MMP-13) and of two tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in hepatocytes from both normal and cirrhotic rats by RT-PCR and by in situ hybridization.

Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis showed that FSAP treatment increased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 and decreased the expression of methionine adenosyltransferase 2A, collagen (alpha1)(I), collagen (alpha1)(III), transforming growth factor-beta1, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1.

Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed administration of MSCs has a significant antifibrotic effect as evidenced by the decrease in expression of liver collagen and increase in matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) in the CCl4/MSC group when compared to the CCl4 group, four weeks after transplantation.

In contrast, thioacetamide caused more severe liver injury and fibrosis in K18 R89C as compared with WT and nontransgenic mice and resulted in increased messenger RNA levels of collagen, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1, matrix metalloproteinase 2, and matrix metalloproteinase 13.

The increased levels of matrix metalloproteinase-13 in extract treated rats were indicative of the protective action of L. flexuosum n-hexane extract.

Pyrene and CCl (4) caused opposite effects on expression of several genes, including HSP-27, macrophage receptor Marco, metalloproteinases (MMP9 and MMP13), and delta-6 fatty acid desaturase.

The persistence of hepatic injury in mutant animals was correlated with sustained tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 mRNA expression levels and a reduction in matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-13 expression levels.

To reveal the contribution of bone marrow (BM)-derived cells to the spontaneous regression of liver fibrosis, mice were treated with repeated carbon tetrachloride injections after hematopoietic reconstitution with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-expressing BM cells.
