Prognostic Significance of Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer and Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

Tumor Biology, 2007
We investigated the prognostic significance of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) in epithelial ovarian cancer as well as their relation to hyaluronan (HA) expression.The expression of EMMPRIN and MMP-2 was analyzed immunohistochemically in 295 primary epithelial ovarian cancer patients and ...

What is the function of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in pain processes?

Journal of Society Medicine, 2023
At the cellular level, the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain can be divided into two parts. The first is the early phase (several days) and the second is the late phase (ranging from weeks to months and years). Cancer cell growth in the periphery will cause nerve damage in the periphery and prolonged pain will cause changes in nerve transmission ...

Combating Inflammation and Promoting Anabolism in Osteoarthritic Cartilage Defect With an MMP13‐Sensing Dual‐Drug Scaffold

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition marked by progressive cartilage breakdown, and a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, where conventional therapies largely fail to halt disease progression. To address this unmet need, an intra‐articularly implantable, disease‐responsive scaffold was developed for combinatorial

The Development and Pilot Clinical Study of CD147 Targeted Antagonistic Peptide Probe for Tumor Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes [68Ga]Ga‐DOTA‐AP9 as a first‐in‐human CD147‐targeted PET tracer with favorable safety and specific tumor uptake. Tracer accumulation correlates with CD147 expression in patients, enabling noninvasive quantification of CD147‐positive malignancies.

NOX4 mediates activation of FoxO3a and matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression by urotensin-II

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2011
This study identified matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) as a novel target gene of Forkhead box O transcription factor FoxO3a in the response to urotensin-II and the NADPH oxidase NOX4 and showed that FoxO3a activated by this pathway promotes vascular ...

Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 Activation in Cultured Corneas

Ophthalmic Research, 2000
<i>Purpose:</i> Corneas that are maintained in tissue culture medium shed their epithelial cells and repopulation following graft surgery is an essential facet of the healing process. Failure to do so may be a result of structural damage to the epithelial basement membrane of a donor cornea.

Chiral Nanoparticles Suppress Inflammatory Infiltration to Promote Extracellular Matrix Remodeling for Ectopia Lentis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
L‐cysteine‐configured chiral polyurethane nanoparticles suppress ocular inflammation and reduce extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in ectopia lentis by regulating macrophages polarization and inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. By promoting zonular fiber‐associated protein restoration and tissue repair, this minimally invasive ...

Senolytic Therapy as a Preventive Strategy for Spine Degeneration and Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cellular senescence promotes inflammation, tissue degeneration, and chronic back pain. In sparc‐null mice, early oral administration of the senolytic agents o‐vanillin and RG‐7112 reduced senescent cell burden and pro‐inflammatory SASP signaling across intervertebral discs, endplates, vertebral bone, and spinal cord.

Study of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Inguinal Hernia

Journal of Clinical Medicine Research, 2009
Abnormal collagen metabolism is thought to play an important role in the development of primary inguinal and ventral hernia. The detection of an impaired collagen balance both in the tissue as well as in cultured fibroblasts underlines the suspicion that the development of hernia is likely to be implemented primarily by a disturbance of the fibroblast ...

Astrocytic LMP2 Coordinates NF‐κB and TGF‐β1/Smad3 Signaling to Drive Neuroinflammation after Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Astrocyte reactivity critically shapes neuroinflammatory outcomes after ischemic stroke, yet the upstream regulators governing astrocyte state transitions remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify the immunoproteasome subunit low molecular weight protein 2 (LMP2) as an important modulator of astrocyte functional remodeling following ...
