<p>(<b>A</b>) MMPs expression was detected by real-time PCR analysis in the cervical cancer cells treated with and without IL-17A. (<b>B</b>) After treating with IL-17A for 24 hours, the expression of MMP2, MMP9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were detected by western blot analysis in cervical cancer cells. (<b>C</b>) Quantification of the protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2. MMP2 (<b>D</b>) and MMP9 (<b>E</b>) concentrations in supernatants form cells treated with or without IL-17A were analyzed by ELISA. (<b>F</b>) The effects of IL-17A on the activities of MMP2 and MMP9 were analyzed by zymography assay. (<b>G</b>) Quantification of the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Values are represented as means ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. * <i>p</i><0.05 and ** <i>p</i><0.01 compared with control group respectively.</p
