Urinary matrix metalloproteinase 9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 biomarkers for predicting renal scar in children with urinary tract infection

Urology Research and Practice, 2019
Objective: Urinary tract infection occurs in 1.8–6.6% of children under 6 years old. The aim of this study was to assess the urinary concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), in children with

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.

The anti-angiogenic herbal composition Ob-X inhibits adipose tissue growth in obese mice

, 2009
Objective: The growth and development of adipose tissue are thought to be associated with angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling. Since the composition of the herbal extract called Ob-X has been shown to have both anti-angiogenic and matrix ...

Plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 correlate with disease stage and survival in colorectal cancer patients.

, 2005
PURPOSE: The matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors are known to be involved in the process of tumor invasion and progression. Our objective was to investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of plasma matrix metalloproteinase-2 and

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

Frontiers 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.

Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9 and their tissue inhibitors in inflammatory neuromuscular disorders [PDF]

, 2006
We monitored serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) before and during intravenously applied immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in 33 patients with chronic immune-mediated neuropathies and myopathies and 15 ...

Disparate Remodeling of the Extracellular Matrix and Proteoglycans in Failing Pediatric Versus Adult Hearts

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure in adult and pediatric patients, but the underlying mechanism may vary in adults and children, with few studies conducted to date.

Modulation of plasma matrix metalloproteinase 9 and its inhibitors by vitamin D.

, 2012
PhDMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) are upregulated in a variety of diseases. Hypothesis: As TIMP-1 levels are elevated in liver fibrosis, might a similar process occur in essential hypertension driven left ...
