Cardiac transgenic matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression induces myxomatous valve degeneration: a potential model of mitral valve prolapse disease
Cardiovascular Pathology, 09/10/09
Mahimkar R et al. – This report demonstrates that increased activity of a single enzyme, MMP–2, within a transgenic context reproduces many of the features of the human MVP syndrome. The cardiac–specific MMP–2 transgenic mouse potentially provides a unique experimental platform for the evaluation of nonsurgical therapies based on the underlying pathophysiology of this disease.
