Increased serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation
International Journal of Hematology, 06/26/09

Tagami K et al. - The present study showed that the serum levels of MMP-9, but not those of MMP-2, significantly correlated with the occurrence and severity of aGVHD.

These results suggest that MMP-9 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of aGVHD.
