Abstract: The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAAs) involves progressive cycles of proteolysis and inflammation, the product of proteolysis driving subsequent inflammation. Little is yet known about the initiating events. We review the specific literature examining the possibility that MMP‐2 may be the initial catalyst.

Summary1. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are associated with the vascular remodelling seen in atherosclerosis and aneurysm. The activation and activity of MMP‐2 are regulated by the intrinsic tissue inhibitor of MMP‐2 (TIMP‐2). The aim of the present study was to examine whether, conversely, MMP‐2 can affect the gene and protein expression of TIMP‐2.2.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Dentin Matrix Mineralization
Journal of Endodontics, 2001In the serum-free culture medium of bovine odontoblasts we detected active gelatinolytic metalloproteinases, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 (gelatinases A and B). The activity of MMP-2, in particular, appeared suddenly around day 21 in the culture, coinciding with the development of odontoblastic cell processes and the loss of alkaline ...

Matrix Metalloproteinase 2: Involvement in Keratoconus
European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2000Purpose The activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is postulated to be a crucial pathogenic factor behind progressive and chronic diseases in which basement membranes are disrupted. An ocular example is keratoconus.

Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, and extracellular matrix in Kaposi's sarcoma
Dermatologic Therapy, 2010Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tumorigenesis and may contribute to the mechanism of KS invasive growth. To date, only a few MMPs have been studied in KS lesions, and exactly which MMPs are involved in KS development and progression remains unanswered.

Mechanisms of cytosolic targeting of matrix metalloproteinase‐2
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2012AbstractMatrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) is best understood for its biological actions outside the cell. However, MMP‐2 also localizes to intracellular compartments and the cytosol where it has several substrates, including troponin I (TnI). Despite a growing list of cytosolic substrates, we currently do not know the mechanism(s) that give rise to ...
