Gelatinases A and B activities in the serum of patients with various coronary artery disease stages [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2010
Background/Aim. The main characteristic of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is the degradation of extracellular matrix. Synthesis of MMPs has been reported in coronary atherosclerotic lesions in patients with coronary disease (CD) suggesting a pathogenic

Biomarkers of Skin Graft Healing in Venous Leg Ulcers

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2022
There is a need for biomarkers that predict the success of transplantation of venous leg ulcers (with autologous split-thickness skin grafts). The primary objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the association between split-thickness skin

The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Atherosclerotic Plaque Instability

Mediators of Inflammation, 2020
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) belongs to the MMP family and has been widely investigated. Excessive MMP-9 expression can enhance extracellular matrix degradation and promote plaque instability.

The Impact of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 on the Sequential Steps of the Metastatic Process

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
In industrialized countries, cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. Most cancer patients die because of metastases, which consist of the self-transplantation of malignant cells in anatomical sites other than the one ...

Diagnostic value of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in the course of osteoarthritis in young persons with excessive body weight and obesity

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2022
  In 125 patients with osteoarthritis (OA), among whom 75 had increased body weight, the content of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) was studied. It was established that the course of OA is accompanied by an increase in the content of MMP-9, which ...

Cell surface-localized matrix metalloproteinase-9 proteolytically activates TGF-beta and promotes tumor invasion and angiogenesis.

Genes & Development, 2000
We have uncovered a novel functional relationship between the hyaluronan receptor CD44, the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and the multifunctional cytokine TGF-beta in the control of tumor-associated tissue remodeling.
