Hormonal regulation of matrix metalloproteinase 9/gelatinase B gene expression in rabbit uterine cervical fibroblasts

Since the degradation of uterine cervical extracellular matrix is an essential process in cervical ripening and dilatation at term, we examined the effect of pregnancy on the level of pro-matrix metalloproteinase 9 (proMMP-9)/progelatinase B in the rabbit uterine cervix and its regulation in uterine...
