Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]
Introduction Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood. The immunoregulatory adipokine leptin is detectable in

Modulation of autocrine TNF-α-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) expression by mitogenactivated protein kinases in THP-1 monocytic cells [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is implicated in various physiological processes by its ability to degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) and process multiple regulatory proteins. Normally, MMP-9 expression is tightly controlled in cells. Sustained or

Exploring the Genetic Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-13 Variants in Pterygium Risk. [PDF]
Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder characterized by abnormal fibrovascular growth and extracellular matrix remodeling, yet its precise molecular etiology remains unclear. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in pterygium pathogenesis.

Contribution of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 to Cerebral Edema and Functional Outcome following Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage [PDF]
Background: Cerebral edema is an important risk factor for death and poor outcome following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Prospective study of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older men and women [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The endopeptidase matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is implicated in atherosclerotic plaque rupture. We investigate prospective associations between MMP-9 and MI or stroke in an older general population cohort, accounting for established and

Background Mechanical strain plays a significant role in the regulation of bone matrix turnover, which is mediated in part by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1. However, little is known about the

Role of matrix metalloproteinase 13 in both endochondral and intramembranous ossification during skeletal regeneration. [PDF]
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is important during bone development and repair. Because matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13, collagenase-3) plays a role in long bone development, we have examined its role during adult skeletal repair. In this study

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 ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 13 (collagenase 3) in human rheumatoid synovium [PDF]
AbstractObjective. To show the eventual presence and extent of production of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP‐13, or collagenase 3) in rheumatoid synovial tissue samples and extracts, and to assess the inhibition characteristics of recombinant MMP‐13.Methods.
