In addition, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), an enzyme which degraded type IV collagen, was decreased in Cr VI) transformed cells.
Our results emphasize that the enzymatic processing is important since only the MMP-mediated type I collagen degradation was predictive of mortality, not cathepsin K degraded type I collagen.
The present data clearly demonstrate that the ELISA measured exclusively degraded type IV collagen.
Contrary, we found no association between cathepsin K degraded type I collagen (CTX-I) and all-cause mortality.
The degenerated and degraded type I collagen fibers are sometimes replaced by calcification or by the accumulation of lipid cells (tendolipomatosis).
The presently reported data clearly demonstrate that the ELISA measured exclusively degraded type IV collagen, by MMP-9 or pepsin alone or together, and not fibrillar collagens types I, II and III.
Marsden sees it more as aversion therapy for sex offender: "It's a degrading type of thing," she told VICE.

MMP-9, a gelatinase that degrades type IV and type V collagen and has an established role in cartilage degradation during RA (43), was chosen because of previous reports that MMP-9 release could be induced from the myeloid cell line THP-1 in vitro by either crosslinking of DR-3 (44) or the action of IFNγ and TL1A (26).
In contrast, the amounts of degraded type-IV gene (Table 2; classes D and F in Fig. 1c) mRNAs remained unchanged after drought treatment, whereas synthesized mRNA quantities showed obvious alterations.
Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (matrilysin 1) is a stromelysin, which degrades type IV collagen, fibronectin and laminin.
