May 2016 in “Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine” The study investigated the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) during the hair cycle in mice. It found that MMP-2 and MMP-9 had elevated mRNA and protein expression levels during the anagen phase and decreased levels during the catagen and telogen phases. Their activities fluctuated throughout the hair cycle. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 expression levels were negatively correlated with MMP-9 and MMP-2, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were present in all hair follicle structures, while MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were localized to specific areas. These findings suggested that MMP-2 and MMP-9 played significant roles in the hair growth cycle.
