(Albuminuria...) :
ALB and RBP were significantly increased concurrently with the expression of renal MMP-9mRNA in group D compared with those of group C. Rosiglitazone significantly reduced urinary excretion rates of ALB, RBP and MMP-9 as well as the expression of renal MMP-9 mRNA

To investigate the effects of albumin on the production of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) in podocytes ... It is concluded that albumin up-regulated the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 at gene and protein levels in a time- and dose dependent manner

:
The effect of albumin on MMP-9 activation in astrocytes is not known ... We found that albumin induces a time dependent release of MMP-9 via the activation of p38 MAPK and extracellular signal regulated kinase, but not Jun kinase ... However, albumin induced increase in MMP-9 is independent of the TGF-ß receptor, previously described as a receptor for albumin
