Phenotypic diversity of breast cancer-related mutations in metalloproteinase-disintegrin ADAM12. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Six different somatic missense mutations in the human ADAM12 gene have been identified so far in breast cancer. Five of these mutations involve highly conserved residues in the extracellular domain of the transmembrane ADAM12-L protein.

Risk factors for silent cerebral infarction in immune‐mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic survivors
British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.Summary Immune‐mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) survivors are predisposed to silent cerebral infarctions (SCI) defined as radiological evidence of brain ischaemia without focal symptoms. This study examined risk factors associated with SCI burden in iTTP survivors during remission.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of numerous acute and chronic diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure. Targeting ADAM proteases, particularly ADAM10, holds promise for fine‐tuning inflammatory responses.

Nuclear translocation and signalling of L1-CAM in human carcinoma cells requires ADAM10 and presenilin/gamma-secretase activity [PDF]
, 2009 L1-CAM (L1 cell-adhesion molecule), or more simply L1, plays an important role in the progression of human carcinoma. Overexpression promotes tumour-cell invasion and motility, growth in nude mice and tumour metastasis.

CD9 controls integrin α5β1-mediated cell adhesion by modulating its association with the metalloproteinase ADAM17 [PDF]
, 2018 Integrin α5β1 is a crucial adhesion molecule that mediates the adherence of many cell types to the extracellular matrix through recognition of its classic ligand fibronectin as well as to other cells through binding to an alternative counter-receptor ...

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The immunopathogenesis of epilepsy
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract There is a wealth of data indicating that the immune system plays an important role in seizure disorders. This includes autoimmune encephalitis, in which an immune response directed against neuronal antigens results in brain inflammation and subsequent seizure activity, as well as autoimmune‐associated epilepsy and neuroinflammatory changes ...

ADAMTS -1 and -4 are up-regulated following transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat and their expression is modulated by TNF in cultured astrocytes [PDF]
, 2006 ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are a recently described group of metalloproteinases. The substrates degraded by ADAMTS-1, -4 and -5 suggests that they play a role in turnover of extracellular matrix in the
