Expression of MMP-10, MMP-21, MMP-26, and MMP-28 in Merkel cell carcinoma

Virchows Archiv, 2009
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous tumor with poor outcome and increasing incidence. We examined by immunohistochemistry the expression of three novel matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-MMP-21, MMP-26, and MMP-28-in 44 primary MCC tumors and six lymph node metastases while MMP-10 served as a positive control. Their mRNA expression was

Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 Activates MMP-8 But Not MMP-13

Medicinal Chemistry, 2006
Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a class of zinc-dependent enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix components, particularly collagen. MMPs have been implicated in a diverse list of pathological processes, including cancer and cardiovascular disease.

MMP-responsive nanomaterials

Biomaterials Science, 2023
MMP-responsive nanomaterials can be used to control and amplify the spatial and temporal effects of anti-cancer treatments. This review focuses on the design strategies that can regulate and optimize enzyme specificity, access, and response.

Expression of MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-10 and MMP-11 in human astrocytic and oligodendroglial gliomas.

Anticancer research, 2004
The members of the matrix metalloproteinase family (MMP) have the ability to degrade macromolecules of the extracellular matrix and are responsible for tumor invasion and infiltration, limiting the effectiveness of the neurosurgical resection of brain tumors. Among the glial brain tumors, astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas are the most important tumor
