METRONIDAZOLE GEL EFFECT ON RATS WITH BACTERIA-INDUCED PERIODONTITIS

open access: yesODONTO: Dental Journal, 2020
Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease in the periodontal tissue and causes progressive tissue damage. Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is directly responsible for the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

A Complete Expression Profile of Matrix-Degrading Metalloproteinases in Dupuytren’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a common fibrotic condition of the palmar fascia, leading to deposition of collagen-rich cords and finger contractions. The metzincin superfamily contains key enzymes in the turnover of collagen and other extracellular matrix ...

Serum MMP-8 and TIMP-1 as prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2018
Despite gastric cancer being rare nowadays in Western countries, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The course of the disease varies, so the individual gastric cancer patient’s prognosis is difficult to determine.

Metalloproteinase and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase in tuberculosis and malignant pleural effusion

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Pleural effusions are associated with a number of medical conditions causing fluid accumulation via differing synergistic mechanisms including increased pleural membrane permeability, increased pulmonary capillary pressure, decreased oncotic pleural ...

Release of TNF-α during myocardial reperfusion depends on oxidative stress and is prevented by mast cell stabilizers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Objectives: Our study sought to elucidate the role of oxidative stress for shedding of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and for activating TNF-α-converting enzyme (TACE).

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases are proteolytic targets of matrix metalloproteinase 9

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2023
Extracellular proteolysis and turnover are core processes of tissue homeostasis. The predominant matrix-degrading enzymes are members of the Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) family. MMPs extensively degrade core matrix components in addition to processing a range of other factors in the extracellular, plasma membrane, and intracellular compartments.

Peroxynitrite inactivates human‐tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐4 [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2008
Peroxynitrite, via post‐translational modifications to target proteins, contributes to cardiovascular injury and cancer. Since tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐4 (TIMP‐4), the activity of which is impaired in both pathological conditions, has several amino acid residues susceptible to peroxynitrite, we investigated its role as a potential target ...

Relationships of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 proteins with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesJournal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: We performed this meta-analysis in order to collect all the relevant studies to clarify the correlations of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

Selective function-blocking monoclonal human antibody highlights the important role of membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in metastasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The invasion-promoting MT1-MMP is a cell surface-associated collagenase with a plethora of critical cellular functions. There is a consensus that MT1-MMP is a key protease in aberrant pericellular proteolysis in migrating cancer cells and, accordingly, a
