Increased matrix metalloproteinase 2 expression and activity are associated with premature rupture of fetal membranes. A proapoptotic protein produced in response to deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation, p53, can bind to the matrix metalloproteinase 2 gene promoter and cause increased gene expression. It promotes apoptosis by inducing the expression of the proapoptotic bax gene and inhibiting the antiapoptotic bcl-2 gene. This study was undertaken to investigate the expression pattern of apoptotic elements in pregnancy complications that may cause increased expression of the gene for matrix metalloproteinase 2.
