Metformin alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration by upregulating MMP-1 expression via the KDM6A/SOX9/miR-202-3p/MMP-1 signaling pathway [PDF]
Introduction MiR-202-3p is involved in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) via regulating MMP-1 expression in neuronal precursor cells (NPCs).

Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) nanoemulgel activity as antiaging through suppressing the MMP-1 expression and the collagen degradation [PDF]
Context: Aging is closely related to reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS increases the collagenase enzyme (MMP-1) levels and collagen degradation that causes skin wrinkling.

Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors in Locally Invasive Papillary Thyroid Cancer
Locally invasive papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) protrudes beyond the thyroid capsule and invades local structures. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) are implicated in local invasion and metastasis in PTC.

Stimulation of MMP-1 and CCL2 by NAMPT in PDL Cells [PDF]
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms and characterized by the destruction of the periodontium. Obese individuals have an increased risk of periodontitis, and elevated circulating levels of adipokines, such as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), may be a pathomechanistic link between both diseases. The

The Effect of MMP-1 on Wound Healing and Scar Formation
In this study, we investigated the effect of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) on wound healing on skin in a model produced in rats.Sixteen Sprague-Dawley male rats were included in the study. The four full-thickness skin wound was created on the dorsal area of each rat with 4.4 mm punch. The rats were randomly divided into two groups.

Effects of Oral and Topical Application of Centella asiatica Extracts on The UVB-Induced Photoaging of Hairless Rats [PDF]
Chronic exposure to UVB irradiation can caused premature skin aging (photoaging), as it can trigger the production of ROS and initiate both oxidative stress in cell membrane and affect the molecular pathway.

The clinical significance of MMP-1 expression in oesophageal carcinoma [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) is involved in the degradation of interstitial collagen and thus thought to play a role in invasion of carcinoma. We investigated 51 oesophageal carcinoma patients to clarify the significance of MMP-1. MMP-1 mRNA was demonstrated to be expressed exclusively in almost all carcinoma tissue specimens (T) (94.1%) by ...

MMP-1 gene polymorphism in osteoporosis.
To investigate the correlation of osteoporosis (OP) with matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) gene polymorphism.A total of 199 patients as observation group (OP) and 180 healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled in the study, and the general data, the expression levels of serum calcium, serum phosphate and MMP-1 were collected and determined.

Influence of variations across the MMP-1 and -3 genes on the serum levels of MMP-1 and -3 and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and are strongly associated with levels of inflammation. To understand the relationship between MMP-1 and -3 variants and MMP levels in RA, we investigated the genotypic and haplotypic relationships of the MMP-1 and -3 genes with circulating levels of these
