Exhaled Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Lung Cancer
Rejuvenation Research, 2012Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has been recognized in several types of tumor development and progression, including lung cancer, for its role in the degradation and remodeling of lung tissue. Furthermore, increased MMP-9 has been commonly described in the serum and airways of non-small cell lung ...

Matrix metalloproteinases‐9 in preterm and term human parturition
The Journal of Maternal‐Fetal Medicine, 1999Spontaneous rupture of the fetal membranes occurs after the commencement of labor in 90% of cases. Recent evidence indicates that the process of parturition requires not only an increase in myometrial contractility and cervical ripening, but also degradation of extracellular matrix in fetal membranes (i.e., leakage of fibronectin into cervico-vaginal ...

Altered matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) levels are involved in cardiovascular diseases and increased MMP-9 levels enhance the cardiovascular risk in apparently healthy subjects. We investigated the effects of MMP-9 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes on the circulating MMP-9 levels in healthy black subjects and the effects of an MMP-2 polymorphism on ...

Increased matrix metalloproteinase-9 with elastolysis in nocturnal asthma
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2003Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is capable of degrading elastin, whereas tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) can inhibit MMP-9 activity. We observed reduced airway tissue elastin volume density in six subjects with nocturnal asthma (NA) as compared with seven subjects with nonnocturnal asthma (NNA) and seven normal controls (NL) when ...

Neutrophil Infiltration and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Lacunar Infarction
Neurochemical Research, 2017We use the modified pial vessel disruption rat model to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cavitation as it plays a role in lacunar infarction. Here we discuss the similarities between the genesis of pulmonary cavitation in various animal models and lacunar infarction in the cerebral cortex of rats.
