Effect of small interfering RNAs on matrix metalloproteinase 1 expression
Three small double strand siRNAs (506-MMP1, 859-MMP1 and 891-MMP1), each contains 25–26 nucleotides, with high specific to human MMP1 were designed according to mRNA sequence of human MMP1 (NCBI, NM_002421). To monitor the MMP1 gene expression, the total

Structural Basis for Matrix Metalloproteinase 1-Catalyzed Collagenolysis [PDF]
The proteolysis of collagen triple-helical structure (collagenolysis) is a poorly understood yet critical physiological process. Presently, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) and collagen triple-helical peptide models have been utilized to characterize the events and calculate the energetics of collagenolysis via NMR spectroscopic analysis of 12 enzyme-

Matrix metalloproteinase‐1 contribution to sarcoma cell invasion [PDF]
AbstractMatrix metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP‐1) activity has been linked to numerous disease processes from arthritis to ulcer. Its proteolytic activity has been implicated inconsistently in different steps of tumourigenesis and metastasis. The discrepancies may be attributable to our limited understanding of MMP‐1 production, cellular trafficking ...

Vascular tube formation on matrix metalloproteinase-1-damaged collagen [PDF]
Endothelial cells maintained on a three‐dimensional lattice of intact, polymerized type I collagen formed a monolayer of cells with a cobblestone morphology. When the collagen was exposed to organ culture fluid from human skin (previously characterized and shown to contain a high level of active matrix metalloproteinase‐1 [MMP‐1]), degradation of the ...

Association of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 Genotypes With Bladder Cancer Risk. [PDF]
There is very little literature reporting the association of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) with personal susceptibility to bladder cancer. In the current study, we carried out the first examination of the contribution of MMP1 rs1799750 to bladder cancer risk in Taiwanese.A total of 375 bladder cancer cases and 375 healthy controls were genotyped ...

Chemokine-induced secretion of gelatinase B in primary human monocytes [PDF]
Chemokines help control normal leukocyte trafficking as well as their infiltration into tissues during acute and chronic inflammation. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) help support the extravasation and infiltration of leukocytes through limited ...

Role of matrix metalloproteinases 1, 2, and 9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in chronic venous insufficiency [PDF]
Increased transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) activity is associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) disease progression and dermal skin pathology. Because TGF-beta(1) stimulates collagen synthesis and alters the levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), we investigated the hypothesis that increased ...

A Complete Expression Profile of Matrix-Degrading Metalloproteinases in Dupuytren’s Disease [PDF]
Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a common fibrotic condition of the palmar fascia, leading to deposition of collagen-rich cords and finger contractions. The metzincin superfamily contains key enzymes in the turnover of collagen and other extracellular matrix ...
