Tumor necrosis factor α, protein gene product 9.5, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 presence in congenital intra-abdominal adhesions in children under one year of age
CONCLUSIONS: The positive correlation between the immunoreactive structures for TNF-α and PGP 9.5 suggests that nerve in-growth into intraabdominal adhesions might be induced by TNF-α and PGP 9.5 could have a role in maintaining inflammation. The down-regulation of PGP 9.5 suggests that pathogenesis of congenital intraabdominal adhesions may be related to hypoxia induced damage. The imbalance between MMP-2 and TIMP-2 may prove tissue fibrosis as a response to congenital peritoneal adhesions.PMID:33488860 | PMC:PMC7811308 | DOI:10.5114/aoms.2020.101184
