In vivo Efficacy of Marimastat and Chemoradiation in Head and Neck Cancer Xenografts [PDF]
<i>Objective:</i> To assess the effect of combining a synthetic matrix metalloprotease inhibitor and chemoradiation therapy on tumor growth in a murine model of head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC). <i>Methods:</i> Athymic, nude mice bearing SCC-1 xenografts were used to comprise 4 treatment groups: (1) control receiving ...

We have previously shown that human melanoma cells rapidly decrease human brain endothelial barrier strength. Our findings showed a fast mechanism of melanoma mediated barrier disruption, which was localised to the paracellular junctions of the brain ...

Profiling the immune response to anti‐Aβ immunotherapy [PDF]
Abstract Background As patients receive approved anti‐Aβ immunotherapies the critical need to understand the effects of anti‐Aβ antibody exposure on the brain is of extreme priority. We sought to identify immune changes in response to acute and chronic anti‐Aβ antibody to determine potential causes of neuroinflammation that may lead to ARIA (amyloid ...

In mice treated with Marimastat, the liver to body weight ratio (A), as well as the spleen to body weight ratio (B) were increased. Masson trichrome staining of liver sections for collagen (blue; C) revealed bridging portal fibrosis.

Following repeated carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration, Marimastat did not affect hepatic transcript levels of MMP-2 (A), or MMP-3 (B) as quantified by real-time RT-PCR. Hepatic MMP-8 (C) and MMP-9 (D) transcripts were significantly upregulated in

Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their endogenous inhibitors (TIMPs), produced in the brain by cells of non-neural and neural origin, including neural progenitors (NPs), are emerging as regulators of nervous system development and adult brain functions.

Perivascular matrix densification promotes the emergence of aberrant endothelial tip cells (ATECs) that invade and persist within fibrotic microenvironments. Using in vivo lineage tracing and a human microvessel model, this study shows that fibrous matrix cues destabilize VE‐cadherin–mediated junctions to gate TGF‐β signaling, inducing a pro ...
