Matrix metalloproteinases

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1998
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of highly regulated peptidases that are collectively responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix during tissue remodeling. Dysregulated activity has long been implicated in the pathologies of cancer and arthritis, and the number of diseases more recently associated with these enzymes has been ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases

Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2003
AbstractMatrix metalloproteinases are a class of enzymes that play an important role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in development and cancer metastasis. This unit describes a set of methods‐cell‐mediated dissolution of type I collagen fibrils, direct and reverse zymography, enzyme capture based on a‐2 macroglubulin and TIMP‐1 and ‐2 ...

Labelling Matrix Metalloproteinases

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2023
Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-containing proteases that participate in many physiological and pathological processes in vivo. Recently, the MMP network has been established according to a deeper understanding of its functions. Some MMPs have been also regarded as biomarkers of various diseases, including inflammation,

Matrix Metalloproteinases

Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2008
AbstractMatrix metalloproteinases are a class of enzymes that play an important role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in development and cancer metastasis. This unit describes a set of methods—cell‐mediated dissolution of type‐1 collagen fibrils, direct and reverse zymography, enzyme capture based on α2‐macroglobulin and TIMP‐1 and ‐2, and

Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors

Investigational New Drugs, 1997
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of at least fifteen secreted and membrane-bound zinc-endopeptidases. Collectively, these enzymes can degrade all of the components of the extracellular matrix, including fibrallar and non-fibrallar collagens, fibronectin, laminin and basement membrane glycoproteins.

Matrix metalloproteinases and atherosclerosis

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2004
Atherosclerosis is a major cause of coronary heart disease, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in atherosclerosis by degrading the extracellular matrix, which results in cardiovascular remodeling. Recent studies have identified enhanced expression of MMPs in the atherosclerotic lesion and their contribution to weakening of the ...

The Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 1992
Abstract A number of metalloproteinases that degrade the extracellular matrix of connective tissues and two specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have now been isolated, characterized, and cloned. Comparison of the enzyme sequences has allowed the delineation of domain structures, and initial studies have been ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases

2012
Remodeling of extracellular matrix is crucial for many physiological (cell migration, proliferation, growth, and development) and pathological (remodeling of heart, carcinogenesis, metastasis, etc.) events. Thus, the interaction between cells and extracellular matrix plays a key role in normal development and differentiation of organism and many ...

Matrix metalloproteinases and metastasis

Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 1999
Metastatic disease is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths, either directly due to tumor involvement of critical organs or indirectly due to complications of therapy to control tumor growth and spread. An understanding of the mechanisms of tumor cell invasion and metastasis may be important for devising therapies aimed at preventing ...
