Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2006
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

Ameliorative Effects of Loganin on Arthritis in Chondrocytes and Destabilization of the Medial Meniscus-Induced Animal Model

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2021
Arthritis is a common inflammatory disease that causes pain, stiffness, and joint swelling. Here, we investigated the ameliorative effects of loganin on arthritis in vitro and in vivo. A single bioactive compound was fractionated and isolated from Cornus

Exploring the Genetic Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-13 Variants in Pterygium Risk. [PDF]

open access: yesIn Vivo
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 2009
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

Upregulation of MMP-13 and TIMP-1 expression in response to mechanical strain in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2010
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
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]

open access: yes, 2001
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]

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatism, 1997
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.
