ADAMTS proteinases: a multi-domain, multi-functional family with roles in extracellular matrix turnover and arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Members of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family are known to influence development, angiogenesis, coagulation and progression of arthritis.

MMP2 and MMP9 contribute to lung ischemia–reperfusion injury via promoting pyroptosis in mice

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Lung ischemia–reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a cause of poor prognosis in several lung diseases and after lung transplantation. In LIRI, matrix metalloproteinases and pyroptosis indicators change in parallel, both of them involvement of ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 1993
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of nine or more highly homologous Zn++endopeptidases that collectively cleave most if not all of the constituents of the extracellular matrix. The present review discusses in detail the primary structures and the overlapping yet distinct substrate specificities of MMPs as well as the mode of activation of ...

Inhibitory antibodies designed for matrix metalloproteinase modulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consists of a set of biological targets that are involved in a multitude of severe pathogenic events such as different forms of cancers or arthritis.

A 2-year randomised placebo-controlled trial of doxycycline for lymphangioleiomyomatosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is characterised by lung cysts and airflow obstruction. Matrix metalloproteinases have been implicated in lung destruction in LAM.

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

Matrix metalloproteinases: A double edge sword

open access: yesDentistry and Medical Research, 2016
Dental caries is a dynamic process which results in demineralization of inorganic constituents and destruction of organic structure of the tooth. The basic mechanism of inorganic demineralization has been studied and documented well enough.

Implications of MMP9 for Blood Brain Barrier Disruption and Hemorrhagic Transformation Following Ischemic Stroke. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Numerous studies have documented increases in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP-9 levels following stroke, with such perturbations associated with disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB), increased risk of hemorrhagic complications ...

The atypical KRASQ22K mutation directs TGF‐β response towards partial epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in patient‐derived colorectal cancer tumoroids

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TGF‐β has a complex role in cancer, exhibiting both tumor‐suppressive and tumor‐promoting properties. Using a series of differentiated tumoroids, derived from different stages and mutational background of colorectal cancer patients, we replicate this duality of TGF‐β in vitro. Notably, the atypical but highly aggressive KRASQ22K mutation rendered early‐

The possibilities of using the inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases for keratoplasty

open access: yesТрансплантология (Москва), 2023
Introduction. The review is devoted to the actual problem of treating patients with keratolysis. The role of matrix metalloproteinases in the pathogenesis of cornea and corneal graft melting is discussed as well as the practical experience of using ...
