One of the problems in wound treatment optimization is the necessity of an effective and objective method of laboratory wound process monitoring. In present
study the current wound process was estimated by changes in MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities in the wound fluid. An original model was used in this work to study
correlation of morphological structure of the wound with the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in wound fluid at various types of wound process. Protein fractions of the
coelomic liquid from regenerating sea star Asterias rubens were used as the substances changing the wound process. The correlation of wound process with
MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities in wound fluid was revealed on the basis of correlation analysis.
Key words: wound model, MMP-2, MMP-9, wound fluid, starfish, Asterias rubens
