In vitro hypoxia increases production of matrix metalloproteinases and tryptase in isolated rat lung mast cells /

Chronic hypoxia results in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension characterized by fibrotization and muscularization of the walls of peripheral pulmonary arteries. This vessel remodeling is accompanied by an increase in the amount of lung mast cells (LMC) and the presence of small collagen cleavage products...
