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

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

Ras, metastasis, and matrix metalloproteinase 9
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the Ras, metastasis, and matrix metalloproteinase 9. The process of metastasis involves breakdown and penetration of intercellular matrix and basement membranes. The basement membrane in particular is a barrier to tumor invasion, intravasation, and extravasation.

Increased Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinase‐9 Levels in Migraineurs [PDF]
Background and Objective.— Cortical spreading depression and neurogenic inflammation have been hypothesized to be key steps in the development of migraine headache. Recent studies have highlighted matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in cortical spreading depression, neurogenic inflammation, and cerebral ischemia.
