“…A role of MMPs in hemorrhage is also supported by the association between increased levels of certain MMPs and prolonged bleeding in human and animal studies, whereas genetic deletion of MMPs prevented bleeding in experimental models 17, 18. Furthermore, our research group recently demonstrated that acute and short‐term MMP inhibition is an effective and safe therapeutic strategy for the prevention of bleeding.…”

“…[63] TIMP-1 has been found as an MMP-9 activity inhibitor through binding to its precursors and active form. [64] Increased expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 and alveolar macrophages trigger larger amounts of MMP-9 with greater enzymatic activity in COPD patients. The imbalances between the levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 might result in the aberrant ECM degradation or the accumulation of ECM proteins in pulmonary alveoli and small airway walls, which would lead to COPD.…”

“…23 Importantly, the role of MMPs in hemorrhaging is supported by the fact that increased levels of certain MMPs are associated with prolonged bleeding in human and animal studies, whereas genetic deletion of MMPs prevented bleeding in experimental models. 24,25 In this regard, fibrinolytic activity and bleeding time were found to be markedly reduced in Mmp10 -/-mice. 23 Also, MMP-3, which is a fibrinolytic MMP 18 that is 82% homologous to MMP-10, deserves particular attention as it has been consistently associated with intracranial hemorrhage.…”
