Comparison of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 mRNA Expression in Prostatic Adenocarcinoma and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Background and Aims: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide in men. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) has a role in the invasion and destruction of the basement membrane and the extra-cellular matrix and facilitating the process of tumor cell invasion. The present study was conducted to compare the expression of MMP2 gene in prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic ...
متن کاملTumor-suppressing 15-Lipoxygenase-2
Lipoxygenases (LOX) comprise a family of non-heme-iron-containing proteins that cata-lyze the dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to form bioactive lipids. Metabolism of arachidonic acid by LOXs leads to the formation of regioisomeric cis/trans-conjugated hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HeTes), leukot-rienes, lipoxins, and hepoxilins. Dependent on the predominant position of the incorpo...

متن کاملQualitative and Quantitative analysis of 3D predicted arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase-B (15-LOX-2) from Homo sapiens
15-Lipoxygenase-2 protein has been reported to play an important role in normal development of prostate, lung, skin, and cornea tissues. It behaves as a suppressor of prostate cancer development by restricting cell cycle progression and implicating a possible protective role against tumor formation. On the basis of the above report, we selected 15-LOX-2 protein to study the structural classific...
متن کاملModulation of Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling in Hypoxia: Role of 15-LOX-2/15-HETE-MAPKs Pathway.
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) plays a critical role in pulmonary hypertension (PH)-associated vascular remodeling. However, the signaling mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of 15-lipoxygenase-2 (15-LO-2)/15-HETE-mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathway in hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascula...
