In vivo Efficacy of Marimastat and Chemoradiation in Head and Neck Cancer Xenografts [PDF]

open access: yesORL, 2008
<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 ...

Melanoma Mediated Disruption of Brain Endothelial Barrier Integrity Is Not Prevented by the Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Proteases

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
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]

open access: yesAlzheimers Dement
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 ...

Marimastat treatment increased hepatic fibrosis following repeated carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration.

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Marimastat decreases hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, but increases recruitment of inflammatory cells.

open access: yes, 2013
Chronic carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration in animals treated with Marimastat resulted in a decreased activation of HSCs, as identified by alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) staining (A).

Marimastat treatment downregulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression and MMP-activities.

open access: yes, 2013
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

The Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitor Marimastat Promotes Neural Progenitor Cell Differentiation into Neurons by Gelatinase-Independent TIMP-2-Dependent Mechanisms

open access: yes, 2013
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 Dysregulates Angiogenesis and Activates Pro‐Inflammatory Endothelial Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
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 ...

Clinical management of snakebite envenoming: Future perspectives

open access: yesToxicon: X, 2021
Snakebite envenoming is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in rural communities throughout the tropics. Generally, the main clinical features of snakebites are local swelling, tissue necrosis, shock, spontaneous systemic hemorrhage, incoagulable ...
