Figure 5From: Effects of simvastatin on cell viability and proinflammatory pathways in lung adenocarcinoma cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide Matrix metalloproteinase expression. Western blot evaluation of MMP-2 (upper panel) and MMP-9 (lower panel) expression following or not H2O2 administration, and in the presence or absence of 24 hours treatment with simvastatin. Data represent the mean ± SEM of three experiments *P < 0.01 (H2O2 vs control); #P < 0.01 (H2O2 + simvastatin and simvastatin vs H2O2).Back to article page
