The gelatinases, matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, play individual roles in skeleton development
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The gelatinases, a subgroup of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) superfamily are composed of two members; MMP2 and MMP9. They are known to degrade gelatin among other components of the extracellular matrix. Recently, the two gelatinases were found to be necessary for neural crest cell migration and to compensate for each other loss in these cells. To characterize their involvement in the skeletal system, and to better reveal their individual or common roles, we have generated double knockout (dKO) mice, lacking both MMP2 and MMP9. The transcriptome of calvaria, growth plate and femoral cortical bone of P21 C57BL/6J WT, MMP2-/-, MMP9-/- and dKO mice was analyzed by bulk RNA-Seq.
