Matrix metalloproteinase-9 as a biomarker predicting male fertility [PDF]

, 2016
The paper discusses the study of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (ММР-9) content in ejaculate after the hernia repair surgery. The clinical research study is based upon the results of inguinal hernia repair in 68 male patients at the age from 18 to 40.

Human mast cells produce matrix metalloproteinase 9 [PDF]

European Journal of Immunology, 1999
Extracellular matrix-destructive enzymes, like matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), have been recognized in the process of inflammation and tissue remodeling and repair. The affected tissues often contain markedly increased numbers of mast cells. Although mast cells are capable of activating latent collagenase and proMMP, it has so far been unknown whether

The Significance of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) in Urinary Bladder Cancer

Biomedicines, 2023
Introduction: Urinary bladder cancer is a serious oncological problem that is the cause of many deaths worldwide. The processes of metastasis and origination of local tumor invasion depend on the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation.

Contribution of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 to Cerebral Edema and Functional Outcome following Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Cerebral edema is an important risk factor for death and poor outcome following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Identification of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 activities within the intestinal mucosa of dogs with chronic enteropathies

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2018
Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are zinc- and calcium-dependent endopeptidases involved in the breakdown and reconstitution of extracellular matrix under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression: new regulatory elements [PDF]

Journal of Ocular Biology, Diseases, and Informatics, 2010
Retinal ganglion cells apoptosis is linked to matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) controlled changes of extracellular matrix. Abnormal expression of MMP-9 is associated with glaucomatous alterations. Thus, the knowledge of MMP-9 regulation is important for the understanding the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
