From: Synthetic emmprin peptides with chitobiose substitution stimulate MMP-2 production by fibroblasts
Effects of ECI-(GlcNAc) 1/2 on MMP-2 production by fibroblasts - Northern blotting. After culture of fibroblasts in the presence of synthetic ECI alone or ECI-(GlcNAc)1/2 for 3 days, the extracted total RNA was subjected to Northern blotting. Top panel, representative blots. Bottom panel, MMP-2 expression level relative to the control. Control-1, solvent control for ECI alone; control-2, solvent control for ECI-(GlcNAc)1 and 2.
