PDGF-BB inhibited the synthesis and secretion of all hypoxia dependent MMP via Erk1/2 mitogen activated protein ( MAP ) kinase activation
Liu et al., Neurol Res 2008
(Disease Models, Animal...) :
So, PDGF-B may induce the expression of MMP for the degradation of collagen type III on the wall of the saccular aneurysms
