“…[47] There is also an increased expression of MMPs in cerebrospinal fluid of AD patients. [48] Selective inhibitors for MMP12 [49] was shown to reduce inflammation and delay of atherosclerosis progression. [50,51] While observational studies demonstrated an association between high levels of plasma MMP12 and recurrent cardiovascular disease, MR yielded the inverse finding, such that genetic variants associated with higher MMP12 levels are associated with decreased risks of coronary artery disease and large artery atherosclerotic stroke, discouraging potential clinical trials of MMP12 inhibitors.…”

“…It has been known for many years that the changes following elastase application progress for many months following the initial insult [31,[35][36][37]. The positive feedback loop characterizing progressive emphysema includes mechanical forces, matrix metalloproteinases, proteolysis, thus resembling the pathophysiology of ageing in general [1,31,[38][39][40][41].…”

“…However, we believe it to be unlikely that ARB elicits lung repair. Rather we assume that ARB interacts with mechanisms related to the evolution of emphysema following the initial event [31,35,38].…”
