Zymography of Metalloproteinases
Current Protocols in Protein Science, 2003 AbstractZymography is an electrophoretic technique enabling visualization of the number and approximate size of peptidases in a sample on the basis of their hydrolysis of a protein substrate within the gel. The technique is particularly useful for analyzing the peptidase composition of complex biological samples because visualization depends directly ...

Inhibition of Trophoblast-Induced Spiral Artery Remodeling Reduces Placental Perfusion in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]
, 2010 Rats harboring the human angiotensinogen and human renin genes develop preeclamptic features in pregnancy. The preeclamptic rats exhibit a deeper trophoblast invasion associated with a reduced resistance index by uterine Doppler.

The calpastatin-derived calpain inhibitor CP1B reduces mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9 and invasion by leukemic THP-1 cells [PDF]
, 2003 The ubiquitous proteases μ- and m-calpain are Ca2+-dependent cysteine endopeptidases. Besides involvement in a variety of physio(patho)logical processes, recent studies suggest a pivotal role of calpains in differentiation of hematopoietic cells and ...

The chemopreventive polyphenol Curcumin prevents hematogenous breast cancer metastases in immunodeficient mice [PDF]
, 2007 Dissemination of metastatic cells probably occurs long before diagnosis of the primary tumor. Metastasis during early phases of carcinogenesis in high risk patients is therefore a potential prevention target.

HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]
, 2015 The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in
