MMP12 expression in the human samples. (a) Real-time PCR analyses of MMP12 mRNA levels in oral mucosal macrophages from human donors, n = 10. (b) Western blot determinations of MMP12 protein levels in oral mucosal macrophages from human donors (left) and quantitative analyses (right), n = 5. (c-d) Saliva (c) or Serum (d) MMP12 concentrations of healthy or OLP donors measured by Elisa, n = 10. *** P < 0.001 vs. corresponding control group. NEOLP, non-erosive oral lichen planus; EOLP, erosive oral lichen planus. Data were expressed as means ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.
