Both MMP2 and MMP14 have been shown to promote adipogenesis in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and FAPs (61–64) and are implicated in the pathogenesis of several muscular dystrophies, including Duchenne, Emery-Dreifuss, and congenital muscular dystrophy 1D (65–67). This evidence concerns the gene MMP2 and muscular dystrophy.
