Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal age-related lung disease whose pathogenesis involves an aberrant response of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC). Activated epithelial cells secrete mediators that participate in the activation of fibroblasts and the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. Previous studies indicate that matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) is increased in the lung epithelium in patients with IPF, however, the role of this membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase has not been elucidated.
