Chemokine-induced secretion of gelatinase B in primary human monocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Chemokines help control normal leukocyte trafficking as well as their infiltration into tissues during acute and chronic inflammation. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) help support the extravasation and infiltration of leukocytes through limited ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases [PDF]

open access: yesScience's STKE, 2000
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to cell migration and cell proliferation by degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM) and by releasing growth factors bound up in the ECM. The actions of MMPs are held in check by a class of proteins called tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).

Histopathologic Findings Associated With Matrix Metalloproteinases Proceeding to Recurrence of Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax in Adolescents

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is potentially life-threatening, and its recurrence is always a serious problem. Pathological examination provides molecular insights into the pathophysiology of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.Objectives: To

Functional relationship between matrix metalloproteinase‐11 and matrix metalloproteinase‐14 [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2014
AbstractMMP‐11 is a key factor in physiopathological tissue remodeling. As an active form is secreted, its activity must be tightly regulated to avoid detrimental effects. Although TIMP‐1 and TIMP‐2 reversibly inhibit MMP‐11, another more drastic scenario, presumably via hydrolysis, could be hypothesized.

Correlation of matrix metalloproteinase 3 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 levels with non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
ObjectiveMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are essential for tissue formation, neuronal network remodeling, and blood–brain barrier integrity. MMPs have been widely studied in acute brain diseases.

Matrix metalloproteinases in liver injury, repair and fibrosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The liver is a large highly vascularized organ with a central function in metabolic homeostasis, detoxification, and immunity. Due to its roles, the liver is frequently exposed to various insults which can cause cell death and hepatic dysfunction ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 level as an indicator for restenosis following cervical and intracranial angioplasty and stenting

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Cervical and intracranial angioplasty and stenting is an effective and safe method of reducing the risk of ischemic stroke, but it may be affected by in-stent restenosis.

Identification of a novel 82 kDa proMMP-9 species associated with the surface of leukaemic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) plays a critical role in tumour progression. Although the biochemical properties of the secreted form of proMMP-9 are well characterized, little is known about the function and activity of cell surface-associated proMMP-
