Identification of a novel 82 kDa proMMP-9 species associated with the surface of leukaemic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) plays a critical role in tumour progression. Although the biochemical properties of the secreted form of proMMP-9 are well characterized, little is known about the function and activity of cell surface-associated proMMP-

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) Binds to the Catalytic Domain of the Cell Surface Receptor, Membrane Type 1-Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP)*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
It has been proposed that tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), in stoichiometric concentrations, serves as an intermediate in progelatinase A activation by binding to activated membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP) on the ...

Early loss of blood-brain barrier integrity precedes NOX2 elevation in the prefrontal cortex of an animal model of psychosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The social isolation rearing of young adult rats is a model of psychosocial stress and provides a nonpharmacological tool to study alterations reminiscent of symptoms seen in psychosis.

Implications of MMP9 for Blood Brain Barrier Disruption and Hemorrhagic Transformation Following Ischemic Stroke. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Numerous studies have documented increases in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP-9 levels following stroke, with such perturbations associated with disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB), increased risk of hemorrhagic complications ...

Osteopontin Stimulates Tumor Growth and Activation of Promatrix Metalloproteinase-2 through Nuclear Factor-κB-mediated Induction of Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase in Murine Melanoma Cells*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) and play critical roles in tissue repair, tumor invasion, and metastasis. MMPs are regulated by different cytokines, ECM proteins, and other factors.

Relationships between MMP-2, MMP-9, and ADAMDEC1 serum and tissue levels in patients with colorectal cancer [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Coloproctology
Purpose Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common malignancy of the gastrointestinal system globally. Identifying specific gene expression patterns indicative of early-stage CRC could enable early diagnosis and rapid treatment initiation.

Matrix metalloproteinases at key junctions in the pathomechanism of stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in the remodelling of the extracellular matrix through direct degradation of its structural proteins and control of extracellular signaling.

A Theoretical Model of Type I Collagen Proteolysis by Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and Membrane Type 1 MMP in the Presence of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2*[boxs]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
One well documented family of enzymes responsible for the proteolytic processes that occur in the extracellular matrix is the soluble and membrane-associated matrix metalloproteinases.

Crotalus atrox venom preconditioning increases plasma fibrinogen and reduces perioperative hemorrhage in a rat model of surgical brain injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Perioperative bleeding is a potentially devastating complication in neurosurgical patients, and plasma fibrinogen concentration has been identified as a potential modifiable risk factor for perioperative bleeding.
