MMP25 and acute respiratory distress syndrome: In other studies related to lung damage, similar to COVID-19, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12, and MMP-14 contribute to COPD-associated pulmonary damage; MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12, MMP-14, and MMP-25 are associated with asthma; MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-11, MMP-12, and MMP-13 contribute to acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); and MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, and MMP-9 contribute to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [34,35,36,37,38,39].
