Role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with recurrent miscarriage
In this study, we investigated a role of MMPs in patients with recurrent miscarriage. With informed consent, decidua and villi were surgically collected from patients with recurrent miscarriage. A chromosome analysis of villi was performed using G-band staining. We investigate the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 using immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Non-parametric analysis was applied for statistical comparison of differences.
