Figure 3 Pro-MMP-9 immunoreactivity in colonic homogenates. A: Representative immunoblot in wild-type (wt) and MMP-9-deficient (KO) (n = 9 in each group) animals on d 5 (DSS 5) and 12 (DSS 12) after colitis induction. Supernatant of HT1080 cells and human recombinants MMP-9 (rMMP9) were used as positive controls. A band of 92 kDa corresponding to pro-MMP-9 was detected in colitic samples. B: Quantitative analysis (aP < 0.05 vs control).
