Human CC chemokine CCL23 enhances expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and invasion of vascular endothelial cells ... CCL23 was shown to dose-dependently activate the expression of the MMP-2/Luc reporter gene, thereby indicating that it stimulates the transcription of the MMP-2 gene

(Atherosclerosis) :
CCL23 stimulated chemotaxis of human THP-1 monocytes in a dose dependent manner and enhanced the expression of adhesion molecule CD11c, as well as release of MMP-2 from the THP-1 monocytes
