There are conflicting data in the literature regarding the expression pattern of the vascular matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in human hypertension. The authors hypothesized that MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 would be abnormal in hypertension, reflecting alterations in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover.

Applied Immunohistochemistry & Molecular Morphology, 2022
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a tumor of the neuroendocrine system. In recent years, the need to assess the MTC diagnostic-related parameters has emerged with the aim to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this pathology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9, their tissue inhibitors of

Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 in fetal rabbit lung
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2000Cell-extracellular matrix interaction and extracellular matrix remodeling are known to be important in fetal lung development. We investigated the localization of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in fetal rabbit lungs. Immunohistochemistry for type IV collagen, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, membrane type (MT) 1 MMP, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamic alterations of cardiac connexin 43 (Cx43), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in the setting of different ventricular fibrillation (VF) duration. In this study, thirty-two dogs were randomly divided into sham control group, 8-min VF group, 12-min VF

The Impact of Differential Expression of Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer, Matrix Metalloproteinase-2, Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and PDGF-AA on the Chronicity of Venous Leg Ulcers [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2006 Introduction. Alteration in the expression of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP-2) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-AA) may contribute to poor healing in venous leg ulcers. Aim. The aim of this study is to determine the expression of

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective anti-cancer drug with limited clinical use due to its serious cardiotoxicity. Recent studies reported that erythropoietin (EPO) could exert a cardioprotective effect by non-erythropoietic effects. This study was to investigate fibrosis of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and determine mechanisms of EPO against ...

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and its inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2), are known to be important in cancer. The purposes of this study were to determine the cDNA sequence of canine MMP-2 and to investigate the expression patterns of MMP-2 and TIMP2 in normal canine lymph nodes and spontaneously arising canine ...

ABSTRACTThe involvement of gelatinase (matrix metalloproteinase‐2 [MMP‐2] and MMP‐9) in the matrix remodeling and development of tubulointerstitial fibrosis has been studied recently, but relatively little is known about the regulators and the mechanisms controlling the activation and expression of gelatinase in renal fibroblasts. In these studies, the

Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
MedGenMed : Medscape general medicine, 2008By regulating matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and controlling the breakdown of extracellular matrix components, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play an important role in the process of tumor invasion and metastasis. The present study was designed to clarify the role of TIMP-2 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients and to ...
