MMP10 and tuberculosis: As such, MMP-10 has been hypothesized to play a role in immunopathology in the context of tuberculosis but is less studied compared to other MMP’s.18 MMP-10 can activate MMP-1, yet MMP-1 was not predictive of mortality in our study, indicating the possible contribution of MMP-10 to mortality through pathways independent of MMP-1 activation.
