This study found that MMP-9 protein levels in endometriosis tissues correlated with invasion degree, while TIMP-1 showed a negative correlation, suggesting MMP-9 as a marker and TIMP-1 as a potential inhibitor.

Abstract

Objective To study the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the expression and significance of endometriosis. Methods Selecting 30 cases of endometriosis and 50 cases of endometriosis, Detection of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 protein levels. Results The endometriosis tissues MMP- 9 and is associated with the degree of invasion, TIMP-1 negative correlation. Conclusion MMP-9 is good molecular marker detection of endometriosis, or artificially induced TIMP- 1 block MMP- 9 May inhibit the onset of different development.
