Matrix metalloproteinase 1: role in sarcoma biology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
In carcinomas stromal cells participate in cancer progression by producing proteases such as MMPs. The expression MMP1 is a prognostic factor in human chondrosarcoma, however the role in tumor progression is unknown.

Matrix metalloproteinases-9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 in sarcoidosis patients [PDF]

Arhiv za farmaciju, 2017
Matrix metaloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific inhibitors - tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play an important role in pulmonary extracellular matrix destruction. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease affecting multiple organs.

The content of matrix metalloproteinase-1, -9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in patients with bronchial asthma and obesity

Patologìâ, 2023
Airway remodeling is a significant factor in the progression of respiratory failure in bronchial asthma (BA). Obesity can contribute to inflammation, and consequently – airway remodeling, by increased production of matrix proteinase (MMP).

MMP-1 activation contributes to airway smooth muscle growth and asthma severity [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase-1 and mast cells are present in the airways of people with asthma. We hypothesised that matrix metalloproteinase-1 could be activated by mast cells and increase asthma severity.
