Abstract

This study demonstrates that the lysyl oxidase was transiently up-regulated at the transcriptional level parallely to alpha(1)I procollagen within developing granulomas. Myofibroblasts are involved in the expression of the lysyl oxidase which may be secreted as a proenzyme and an activated enzyme.
