Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, and extracellular matrix in Kaposi's sarcoma
Dermatologic Therapy, 2010Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tumorigenesis and may contribute to the mechanism of KS invasive growth. To date, only a few MMPs have been studied in KS lesions, and exactly which MMPs are involved in KS development and progression remains unanswered.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Airway Remodeling in Asthma
Current Drug Target -Inflammation & Allergy, 2005Airway remodeling is a major change responsible for irreversible asthmatic airflow restriction. The Th-2 cytokines-dominant eosinophilic inflammatory mechanism cannot fully explain the progressive subepithelial fibrosis and structural changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM).

The Response of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and -2 to Exercise
Sports Medicine, 2014Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a major group of enzymes that play essential roles in normal functioning of diverse tissues during growth, development, and aging. However, among the MMPs little is known regarding the role of exercise in MMP-9 and MMP-2 function in humans.The aim of this study was to provide a systematic comprehensive review of the

Serum activity of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2006Matrix metalloproteinases belong to the key effectors of tissue remodeling in health and disease. Matrix metalloproteinases -2 and -9, the most prevalent representatives of this family, are expressed in the endometrium. Chronic endometritis concomitant with sterility and spontaneous abortions is associated with decreased content of matrix ...

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Peripheral Blood Eosinophils
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1999<i>Background:</i> Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are major contributors to tumor invasion, remodeling of connective tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells and may be important mediators in developing allergic inflammation. Overexpression of MMP-9 mRNA by eosinophils in the asthmatic airways has been reported.
