Progesterone transcriptionally inhibits LPS-induced matrix metalloproteinase up-regulation in human cervical fibroblast cells

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of progesterone (P4) on the gene expression profile of extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated molecules in human uterine cervical fibroblasts (UCFs) treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
