Assessment of Matrix Metalloproteinases a Prognostic Indicator in Advanced Fibrotic Lung Disease: A Systematic Review

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: Fibrotic lung diseases were seen to have devastating effects among patients globally. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) including MMP-7, MMP-9, and MMP-1 have become promising biomarkers for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and other ...

The Significance of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) in Urinary Bladder Cancer

Biomedicines, 2023
Introduction: Urinary bladder cancer is a serious oncological problem that is the cause of many deaths worldwide. The processes of metastasis and origination of local tumor invasion depend on the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation.

Identification of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 activities within the intestinal mucosa of dogs with chronic enteropathies

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2018
Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are zinc- and calcium-dependent endopeptidases involved in the breakdown and reconstitution of extracellular matrix under both physiological and pathological conditions.

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 ...
