Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors
Current Oncology Reports, 2004Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent proteinases that are associated with the tumorigenic process. MMPs degrade the extracellular matrix, promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. They also regulate host defense mechanisms and normal cell function; blocking all MMPs may not lead to a positive therapeutic outcome. Most clinical

Matrix metalloproteinases in immunity
The Journal of Immunology, 1996Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-containing endo-proteinases that share structural domains but differ in substrate specificity, cellular sources, and inducibility. Macrophage production and secretion of large quantities of many MMPs, after contact with matrix proteins, is enhanced by surface determinants ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases in Invertebrates
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2020Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of metal-dependent endopeptidases which contain a series of conserved pro-peptide domains and catalytic domains. MMPs have been widely found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. MMPs are involved in regulating numerous physiological processes, pathological processes, and immune responses.

Matrix metalloproteinases in inflammation
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2014Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of ubiquitously expressed zinc-dependent endopeptidases with broad substrate specificity and strictly regulated tissue specific expression. They are expressed in physiological situations and pathological conditions involving inflammation.

Labelling Matrix Metalloproteinases
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2023Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-containing proteases that participate in many physiological and pathological processes in vivo. Recently, the MMP network has been established according to a deeper understanding of its functions. Some MMPs have been also regarded as biomarkers of various diseases, including inflammation,

Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors
Investigational New Drugs, 1997The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of at least fifteen secreted and membrane-bound zinc-endopeptidases. Collectively, these enzymes can degrade all of the components of the extracellular matrix, including fibrallar and non-fibrallar collagens, fibronectin, laminin and basement membrane glycoproteins.

Matrix metalloproteinases and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors in lung cancer
Seminars in Oncology, 2002Preclinical studies have provided evidence that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc-containing proteolytic enzymes, facilitate tumor invasion, the establishment of metastases, and the promotion of tumor-related angiogenesis. Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) have been shown to inhibit tumor growth and dissemination in ...

Matrix metalloproteinases in pneumonia
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2014Pneumonia is a worldwide infectious disease that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and is the most common fatal infection acquired in hospitals. Despite advances in preventive strategies, such as antibiotic therapies and intensive care, the mortality rate still requires substantial improvement.

Matrix metalloproteinases in repair
Wound Repair and Regeneration, 1999During repair, many different matrix metalloproteinases are produced by multiple cell types residing in various compartments within the wound environment. This diversity of enzymes, coupled with discreet cellular expression, implies that different matrix metalloproteinases serve different functions, acting on a variety of substrates, during wound ...

Matrix metalloproteinases and bone
Bone, 2008Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are members of a family of zinc-dependent proteolytic enzymes. Several of the MMPs are expressed at high levels in bone and cartilage in mammals including humans and mice and are capable of cleaving native, undenatured collagens with long uninterrupted triple helices; these MMPs therefore potentially function as ...
