HDAC-mediated control of ERK- and PI3K-dependent TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix-regulating genes [PDF]

, 2010
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the acetylation of histones in the control of gene expression. Many non-histone proteins are also targeted for acetylation, including TGF-ß signalling pathway components such as Smad2, Smad3 and Smad7. Our studies in

Copper–Collagen Interactions Regulate the Mechanical and Invasive Properties of Tumor Spheroids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic copper is investigated as a modulator of tumor spheroid growth and invasiveness in a 3D microfluidic glioblastoma model. Copper exposure alters metabolic activity, cytoskeletal organization, protrusion dynamics, and EMT‐related phenotypes in a dose‐ and timing‐dependent manner, revealing how copper bioavailability shapes tumor aggressiveness ...

Complex regulation of neutrophil-derived MMP-9 secretion in central nervous system tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) may be fatal even with treatment. Neutrophils are the key mediators of TB immunopathology, and raised CSF matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) which correlates to neutrophil count in CNS-TB is ...

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

Matrix metalloproteinases and their considerations in Dentistry from the field of computational chemistry

Revista Cubana de Estomatología, 2014
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc-dependent proteases responsible for the remodeling the protein components of extracellular matrix of all tissues; its catalytic activity is controlled by tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases.

Variants within the MMP3 gene are associated with achilles tendinopathy: possible interaction with the COL5A1 gene [PDF]

, 2009
Objectives: Sequence variation within the COL5A1 and TNC genes are known to associate with Achilles tendinopathy. The primary aim of this case-control genetic association study was to investigate whether variants within the matrix metalloproteinase 3 ...
