Prevalence of vascular-endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in primary breast cancer

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
Our objective was to determine the presence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 and specific tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in tumor samples obtained from patients ...

ECM Remodeling in Direct Inguinal Hernia: The Role of Aging, Oxidative Stress, and Antioxidants Defenses

open access: yesClinics and Practice
Inguinal hernia represents a multifactorial condition driven by extracellular matrix (ECM) dysregulation, collagen imbalance, and oxidative stress. Across studies, a consistent reduction in the collagen I:III ratio, coupled with altered expression of ...

Dynamic changes of serum matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors in Kawasaki disease: implications for coronary artery lesions persistence

open access: yesItalian Journal of Pediatrics
Background The mechanism of coronary artery lesions (CALs) persistence in Kawasaki disease (KD) remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the serum dynamic changes of matrix metalloproteinases (MPPs) and tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in children with ...

Vitrification affects the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors of mouse ovarian tissue

open access: yesIranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 2016
Background: One of the most major obstacles of ovarian tissue vitrification is suboptimal developmental competence of follicles. Matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) and 9 (MMP-9) and their tissue inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 are involved in the ...
