AM/AMBP-1 enhanced MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions.

<p><b>A</b>. Skin tissues from Vehicle (<b>a</b>) and AM/AMBP-1 (<b>b</b>) treated animals on day 3 were immunostained with MMP-2 antibody. Total RNA extracted from skin tissues were analyzed by real time RT-PCR for MMP-2 (<b>B</b>) and MMP-9 (<b>C</b>) mRNA expressions. Data are represented as mean ± SEM (n = 4–5/group) and compared by Student’s <i>t</i>-test. *P<0.05 vs. Vehicle.
