Hormonal regulation of collagenolysis in uterine cervical fibroblasts. Modulation of synthesis of procollagenase, prostromelysin and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) by progesterone and oestradiol-17 β

·doi:10.1042/bj2750645

Rabbit uterine cervical fibroblasts produced a large amount of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) such as collagenase (MMP-1) and stromelysin (MMP-3) and a small relatively amount of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP). When cells w…

Effect of prostaglandins on the production of collagenase by rabbit uterine cervical fibroblasts

·doi:10.1016/0090-6980(88)90106-2

Effects of prostaglandins on the production of collagenase by rabbit uterine cervical fibroblasts were investigated. Exogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and PGF2 alpha significantly stimulated the production of collagenase in a dose dependent…
