Remodeling of the injured vascular wall is dependent on the action of several extracellular proteases. Previous studies have shown that expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) is upregulated after vascular injury and that MMP-2 is required for the migration of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells across complex extracellular matrix barriers. The present study examined changes in the expression of membrane-type metalloproteinase (MT-MMP-1), a putative regulator of MMP-2, in the tissue localization of MMP-2, and in the expression of activated and latent forms of MMP-2 and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, TIMP-2, in rat carotid arteries subjected to balloon catheter injury.
