Matrix metalloproteinase-9 in spontaneously hypertensive hyperlipidemic rats
Pathophysiology, 2008 The presence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia accelerates atherosclerosis and increases the risk of ocular disease. Since there were few rat models for atherosclerosis, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and spontaneously hyperlipidemic rats (HLRs) were crossbred to obtain a new model: the spontaneously hypertensive hyperlipidemic rat (SHHR ...

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 is up-regulated by CCL21/CCR7 interaction via extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 signaling and is involved in CCL21-driven B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell invasion and migration [PDF]
, 2007 4 páginas, 2 figuras -- PAGS nros. 383-386B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) progression is frequently accompanied by clinical lymphadenopathy, and the CCL21 chemokine may play an important role in this process. Indeed, CCR7 (the CCL21 receptor),
