Abstract

• MMP-14 levels decrease in lungs from endotoxemic mice and serum from septic patients. • Mmp14 -/- mice show increased lung injury and mortality following endotoxemia. • Absence of Mmp14 decreases activated MMP-2 and increases S100A9 levels in lung tissue. • MMP-14 ameliorates inflammation by promoting S100A9 cleavage by activated MMP-2.
