MMPs plays important in the degradation and remodeling of the
extracellular matrix at sites of inflammation. HMOX1 (HO1) mediates IL-10-induced suppression
of MMP9 expression.

A key mediator secreted from neutrophils and involved in carcinogenesis
is MMP-9. It was demonstrated to be involved in skin tumorigenesis,
by regulation of oncogene-induced keratinocyte hyperproliferation
and their progression to invasive cancer (71). In addition to its effects
on matrix, it has been shown that MMP-9 secreted from neutrophils
(among other bone marrow cells) prevents apoptosis of tumor cells in
the lung (72).
