Induction of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Keratinocytes by Histamine [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2008
Mast cells and their mediator, histamine, are well-recognized effectors in immediate allergy, but their role in tissue remodeling and chronic inflammation has also been the focus of intense research during the past decade. Gschwandtner et al. (2008, this issue) report that histamine can induce MMP-9 expression in keratinocytes, promote collagen type IV

Environmental arsenic exposure and serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 [PDF]

Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between environmental arsenic exposure and serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, a biomarker associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer. In a cross-sectional study of residents of Arizona, USA (n=215) and Sonora, Mexico (n=163), drinking water was assayed for total arsenic, and daily

Ablation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Prevents Cardiomyocytes Contractile Dysfunction in Diabetics [PDF]

, 2016
Elevated expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and decreased contractility of cardiomyocytes are documented in diabetic hearts. However, it is unclear whether MMP is involved in the regulation of contractility of cardiomyocytes in ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 in mucosally invasive gastric cancer [PDF]

Gastric Cancer, 1998
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) facilitates tumor invasion and metastasis via basement membrane degradation. Control of MMP-9 production by cancer-stromal cell interactions in these processes has been observed.METHODS: We measured plasma MMP-9 concentrations, using a one-step sandwich enzyme immunoassay, and also immunohistochemically ...
