Abstract
The role of monocyte/macrophage-derived microparticles (MPs) in the pathophysiology of cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases has been reported; nevertheless, the mechanism underlying microparticles release is currently unclear. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors could prevent MP shedding from stimulated human monocyte/macrophage. Microparticles were obtained by isolated peripheral...
