DYNAMIC ALTERATIONS OF CONNEXIN 43, MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-2 AND TISSUE INHIBITOR OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-2 DURING VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION IN DOGS [PDF]

Heart, 2012
Objectives We aimed to investigate the dynamic alterations of cardiac connexin 43 (Cx 43), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in the setting of different ventricular fibrillation (VF) duration and try to reveal the possible initiation and/or persistence mechanisms

Multimodal therapy for synergic inhibition of tumour cell invasion and tumour-induced angiogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) are highly invasive tumours with frequent local and distant recurrence. Metastasis formation requires degradation of the extracellular matrix, which is fulfilled by membrane-associated ...

Regulation of the synthesis of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 and -2 by hepatic and pancreatic stellate cells

, 2010
Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a central role in fibrosis development by production of extracellular matrix and also by secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) including TIMP-2 and MMP-2.

Characterization of Xenopus tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2: a role in regulating matrix metalloproteinase activity during development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Frog metamorphosis is totally dependent on thyroid hormone (T3) and mimics the postembryonic period around birth in mammals. It is an excellent model to study the molecular basis of postembryonic development in vertebrate.

The calpastatin-derived calpain inhibitor CP1B reduces mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9 and invasion by leukemic THP-1 cells [PDF]

, 2003
The ubiquitous proteases μ- and m-calpain are Ca2+-dependent cysteine endopeptidases. Besides involvement in a variety of physio(patho)logical processes, recent studies suggest a pivotal role of calpains in differentiation of hematopoietic cells and ...

The influence of dusty environment (Makka city broken mountains) on bronchial asthma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of asthma was 12%, with vast regional variations ranging from less than 10% in Dammam to 23% in Hail. Makka city has a lot of mountains that under the process of breaking causes dusty environment.

Modulation of autocrine TNF-α-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) expression by mitogenactivated protein kinases in THP-1 monocytic cells [PDF]

, 2006
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is implicated in various physiological processes by its ability to degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) and process multiple regulatory proteins. Normally, MMP-9 expression is tightly controlled in cells. Sustained or

Temporal Patterns of 14 Blood Biomarker candidates of Cardiac Remodeling in Relation to Prognosis of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure—The Bio‐SHiFT Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Remodeling biomarkers carry high potential for predicting adverse events in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. However, temporal patterns during the course of CHF, and especially the trajectory before an adverse event, are unknown.

RNA interference against discoidin domain receptor 2 ameliorates alcoholic liver disease in rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is involved in fibrotic disease. However, the exact pathogenic implications of the receptor in early alcoholic liver disease are still controversial.

The Balance of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (Mmp-2) and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (Timp-2) on Severe Endometriosis [PDF]

Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2015
The objective of this study is to examine the level balance of serum and peritoneal fluid MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in patients with severe endometriosis. The method of this study was a cross sectional study with twenty patients were diagnosed as severe endometriosis based on laparoscopy and laparotomy with five controls. Serum samples were taken before surgery,
