“…Noticeably, HDAC2 could bind to different loci on chromosome 11 and can modulate MMP27 bidirectionally. Previous studies suggested that the HDAC family could regulate multiple MMPs, including MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP9, MMP10, MMP13, MMP14, and MMP28, 23‐28 and that MMP10 could be regulated by HDAC3 and HDAC7 28,29 . For the first time, we found that HDAC2 could potentially modulate the MMP10, MMP16, MMP21, MMP25‐AS1, MMP27, and CD16 genes in neutrophils of AIS patients.…”
