Studies using mouse models of MFS have shown that activation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2) and the concomitant upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to aneurysm development. Our previous study showed that doxycycline delayed aneurysm rupture in a mouse model of MFS,\n              <jats:italic>\n                Fbn1\n                <jats:sup>mgR\/mgR<\/jats:sup>\n              <\/jats:italic>\n              .

Gelatin zymography and Western blot data showed that only doxycycline inhibited MMP-2 expression, whereas both drugs decreased Erk1\/2 phosphorylation. When combined, only one of nine mice died within the 30-week study; aortic histology and diameter were normalized and the effects on Smad2 phosphorylation was additive. To further explore the role of MMP-2 in MFS, we created MMP-2\u2013deficient\n              <jats:italic>\n                Fbn1\n                <jats:sup>mgR\/mgR<\/jats:sup>\n              <\/jats:italic>\n              mice.
