<h4>Objective</h4>Inflammation and proteolysis crucially contribute to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. The extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer EMMPRIN (CD147) and its ligand cyclophilin A (CyPA) may be involved in both processes. The aim of the study was to characterize the role of the CD147 and CyPA interplay in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Immunohistochemistry showed enhanced expression of CD147 and CyPA in myocardial sections ...[more]
