Distinct emphysema subtypes defined by quantitative CT analysis are associated with specific pulmonary matrix metalloproteinases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Emphysema is characterised by distinct pathological sub-types, but little is known about the divergent underlying aetiology. Matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that can degrade the extracellular matrix and have been ...

Epigenetic Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 and -3 Expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), the inflammatory immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is associated with tissue destruction and cavitation, which drives disease transmission, chronic lung disease, and mortality.

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 expression is not regulated by norgestimate or norelgestromin

open access: yesGynecological Endocrinology, 2004
Steroid hormones regulate endometrial expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. Synthetic progestins are widely used in oral contraceptives and for hormone replacement therapy. To assess whether the synthetic progestins norgestimate and its derivative norelgestromin (17-deacetylnorgestimate) modulate the expression of MMPs ...

Effects of Curcumin against Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and Tissue Inhibitor Metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) Serum Level on Rat Model of Liver Fibrosis Resolution Process

open access: yesThe Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2018
Background: Liver fibrosis is an effect from continuous fibrogenesis and fibrolysis process. During fibrogenesis, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 that produced by hepatic stellate cell (HSC) have a role to regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostastic.

c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase in Inflammation and Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and are activated by environmental stress. JNK is also activated by proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1, and Toll-like receptor ligands ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Estrogen treatment decreases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in autoimmune demyelinating disease through estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have a crucial function in migration of inflammatory cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Levels of MMP-9 are elevated in multiple sclerosis (MS) and predict the occurrence of new active lesions on magnetic ...

Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Eosinophil-Mediated Airway Remodeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Airway remodeling is responsible for the progressive decline of lung function in bronchial asthma. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition are involved in tissue remodeling.

Elevated plasma levels of TIMP-3 are associated with a higher risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome and death following severe isolated traumatic brain injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BackgroundComplications after injury, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated with poor clinical outcomes.
