Neutrophil activator of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (NAM)
Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2006We have isolated a novel soluble factor(s), neutrophil activator of matrix metalloproteinases (NAM), secreted by unstimulated normal human peripheral blood neutrophils that causes the activation of cell secreted promatrix metalloproteinase-2 (proMMP-2).

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 promoter variability in psoriasis
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2009The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 was observed to be significantly upregulated in psoriasis. The aim of this study was to associate the DNA polymorphic variants in MMP-2 promoter gene with psoriasis and/or with psoriasis phenotypes related to psoriasis and comorbid heredity.

The ability to measure protease activity in the blood is important for the development of future diagnostics and for biomedical research. Presently, protease assays require sample preparation, making them time-consuming, costly, less accurate, and unsuitable for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9) are influenced by relative levels of estrogen and are involved in promoting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. The present study investigated expression of COX-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in endometrial polyps from premenopausal and postmenopausal women.Premenopausal (n=18) and ...

Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)
2016Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of glycoprotein enzymes, which are zinc-dependent endoproteinases. These degradative enzymes digest the blood-vessel walls to allow endothelial cells to escape and migrate toward the site of the angiogenic stimuli. MMPs play a role in angiogenesis in many different ways; endothelial cell migration caused by

Fibrillin-2 Degradation by Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Periodontium
Journal of Dental Research, 2007Elastic system fibers, comprised of microfibrils and tropoelastin, are extracellular components of periodontal tissue. During development, the microfibrils act as a template on which tropoelastin is deposited. However, the process of elastic system fiber remodeling is not fully understood. Therefore, we examined whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)

Significance of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in nonmelanoma skin cancer
Egyptian Journal of Pathology, 2013Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are degradative enzymes that play an important role in tumour progression. Identification of subtypes associated with each cancer type and determination of their source (epithelial or stromal) are crucial steps for effective targeting of MMPs during carcinogenesis. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate
