Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors
Current Oncology Reports, 2004Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent proteinases that are associated with the tumorigenic process. MMPs degrade the extracellular matrix, promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. They also regulate host defense mechanisms and normal cell function; blocking all MMPs may not lead to a positive therapeutic outcome. Most clinical

Snake venom metalloproteinases
Toxicon, 2013Recent proteomic analyses of snake venoms show that metalloproteinases represent major components in most of the Crotalid and Viperid venoms. In this chapter we discuss the multiple activities of the SVMPs. In addition to hemorrhagic activity, members of the SVMP family also have fibrin(ogen)olytic activity, act as prothrombin activators, activate ...

Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 1997Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes responsible for the breakdown of proteins of connective tissue. Through this action they play an important role in growth, development and tissue repair. Recent studies also suggest that MMPs are utilised in cancer, facilitating both local tumour invasion and metastasis.

Summary 1. Crystalline agavain has been shown to be inhibited by metal binding agents and DFP, but not by sulfhydryl reagents. 2. The activity of agavain is sensitive to the nature of the buffer solution used in the assay medium, this inhibitory effect being a function of the buffer anions. 3.

Measurement of Metalloproteinases
2003Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (1,2) comprise a family of over 20 matrix degrading enzymes believed to be essential for normal development and physiologic tissue remodeling and repair. Abnormal expression of metalloproteinases has been implicated in many destructive processes, including tumor cell invasion and angiogenesis, arthritis, atherosclerosis,

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases and metalloproteinases in atherosclerosis
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1998The ability of the metalloproteinases to degrade extracellular matrix proteins is essential for the matrix remodelling that occurs during infiltration of inflammatory cells, intimal thickening, angiogenesis and plaque rupture which are a result of atherosclerosis.

Matrix metalloproteinases and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors in lung cancer
Seminars in Oncology, 2002Preclinical studies have provided evidence that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc-containing proteolytic enzymes, facilitate tumor invasion, the establishment of metastases, and the promotion of tumor-related angiogenesis. Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) have been shown to inhibit tumor growth and dissemination in ...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to cell migration and cell proliferation by degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM) and by releasing growth factors bound up in the ECM. The actions of MMPs are held in check by a class of proteins called tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
