Measurement of MMP-9 and -12 degraded elastin (ELM) provides unique information on lung tissue degradation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elastin is an essential component of selected connective tissues that provides a unique physiological elasticity. Elastin may be considered a signature protein of lungs where matrix metalloprotease (MMP) -9-and -12, may be considered the ...

Developmental regulation of tropoelastin isoforms.
The production of tropoelastin isoforms was examined by cell-free translation of nuchal ligament RNA from cows of various ages ranging from 110 days of gestation to adult. Tropoelastin polypeptides synthesized in vitro were immunoprecipitated with a specific monoclonal antibody and separated by high resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel ...

Changes in the physical structure and chain dynamics of elastin network in homocysteine-cultured arteries [PDF]
The thermal and dielectric properties of the elastin network were investigated in arteries cultured with physiological and pathological concentrations of homocysteine, an aminoacid responsible of histological impairments in human arteries.

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Insights into the structure and dynamics of lysyl oxidase propeptide, a flexible protein with numerous partners [PDF]
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of lysine and hydroxylysine residues in collagens and elastin, which is the first step of the cross-linking of these extracellular matrix proteins.

A cell-based assay for CD63-containing extracellular vesicles [PDF]
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are thought to be important in cell-cell communication and have elicited extraordinary interest as potential biomarkers of disease. However, quantitative methods to enable elucidation of mechanisms underlying release are few.
