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).
