Figure 3 Matrix metalloproteinase gelatin zymography. A: Zymogram showing latent and active forms of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in fresh controls and tissue conditioned to tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) ascending aorta (AA) and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) AA wall shear stress (WSS); B: Densitometry results for total MMP-2 enzymatic activity; C: Latent MMP-2; D: Active MMP-2 (aP < 0.05 vs control; MMP-9 data not shown as MMP-9 was absent from the protein lysates).
