Agonist-Biased Signaling via Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Promotes Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

Cells, 2018
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic noncellular structure that is crucial for maintaining tissue architecture and homeostasis. The dynamic nature of the ECM undergoes constant remodeling in response to stressors, tissue needs, and ...

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Pneumococcal Meningitis: Activation via an Oxidative Pathway [PDF]

, 2017
In experimental bacterial meningitis, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to brain damage. MMP-9 increases in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during bacterial meningitis and is associated with the brain damage that is ...

Purification of a fragment obtained by autolysis of a PIIIb-SVMP from Bothrops alternatus venom [PDF]

, 2018
Snake Venom Metalloproteinases (SVMPs) represent 43.1% of the components in Bothrops alternatus venom and play an important role in envenomation. Disintegrins and disintegrin-like domains are released by proteolytic processing of PII and PIII classes of ...

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in allergic nasal polyps

Acta Histochemica, 2010
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to play important roles in the invasion of nasal mucosa by inflammatory cells through degradation of extracellular matrix. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyp.

Eotaxin-induced expression of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase mRNA in human eosinophils

Allergology International, 2000
Eosinophil penetration across the basement membrane (BM) is thought to be dependent on the degradation of membrane components. In this process, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) appear to be primarily responsible for degradation of the BM.
