… patterns of MMP in human skeletal muscle tissue undergoing various denervation processes,
we investigated MMP-2, MMP-7 and MMP-9 expression in human biopsy samples from …

… of MMP-2 and MMP-9 at the NMJs, we denervated muscles by either crush or axotomy of
sciatic nerves. After injury, neuromuscular specialization persists on the muscular side, even …

… , on MMP-2 gene expression and activity in the early denervation phase of rat muscle. To
assess possible effects of these interventions on muscle atrophy, the muscle fiber cross-…

… MMP-9 activity was not detected in any of the groups. The results of … denervation increases
MMP-2 activity, and ES regulates MMP-2 gene expression in rat denervated skeletal muscle. …

… In a nerve crush model of denervation, we examined muscle matrix metalloproteinase (MMP…
Compared with our early time point at 7 days, when the muscle is still denervated, MMP …

… after denervation or reinnervation (7, 15), our results showed no significant modification of
MMP-2 mRNA expression by denervation. On the other hand, expression of TIMP-2 mRNA …

… osteoactivin in the mouse skeletal muscle atrophied by denervation. … denervation increased
the expression of osteoactivin in muscle fiber membrane, whereas matrix metalloproteinase …

… MMP-2 immunoreactivity following DN and that daily low-frequency ES treatment on denervated
muscle … ratios but did not alter higher levels of MMP-2 produced by DN-induced disuse. …

… , satellite cells remain mitotically quiescent, but become activated in response to muscle
injury, denervation, stretching or exercise. Upon activation, the satellite cells resume proliferation…

… In denervated mouse muscles, MMP-2 immunolabeling persists at the neuromuscular
junctions but decreases in the nerves, whereas MMP-9 … Denervated muscles did not show any …
