Expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in cords and nodules of patients with Dupuytren�s disease
Conclusions The balance between MMPs and their natural inhibitors is disturbed in patients with Dupuytren�s disease. The decrease in MMP-to-TIMP expression can cause increased synthesis and deposition of collagen, leading to palmar fibromatosis. The high expression of MMP2 may represent an unsuccessful attempt to reduce collagen deposition. In the future, a treatment that downregulates TIMPs but increases the activity of MMPs may be an appropriate therapy for Dupuytren�s disease.
