Excerpt

Animal studies suggest matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP8) (neutrophil collagenase) impairs neutrophil (PMN) recruitment in inflammation; in humans, MMP8 has been associated with inflammation. We hypothesized that septic patients with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MMP8 promoter region will have a survival advantage, and this advantage is due to differences in MMP8 enzymatic activity and not MMP8 levels. …
