Suppressive Activity of Vitamin D3 on Matrix Metalloproteinase Production From Cholesteatoma Keratinocytes In Vitro

There is much evidence that degradation of the extracellular matrix is essential for the development of cholesteatomas and that this is induced by activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Vitamin D3 (VD3) has several well-recognised biological activities, including suppression of MMP producti...
