Coexpression of glucose transporter 1 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in human cancers.
BACKGROUND Cancer cells express higher levels of glucose transporter proteins (Gluts) than do normal cells. Glut-1 overexpression is associated with invasiveness. Because matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is also overexpressed in cancer cells and is associated with invasiveness, we tested the hypothesis that Glut-1 may regulate MMP-2 expression. METHODS We transiently transfected Glut-1 comp...
متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Meningioma
Background: Meningioma is one of the most common tumors of the central nervous system. It was shown that meningioma had up-regulated expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) that involved in cell growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Objectives: The aim of the study was the assessment of serum MMP-2 and -9 levels in patients with different grades of meningioma. Materials & Me...
متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1/2 as Predictive Factors in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: Metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors play an important role in the metastases formation. A multistage process of carcinogenesis requires the involvement of numerous enzymes and compounds that facilitate the expansion of tumor cells. The formation of metastases depends on both metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors activation leading to the acti...
متن کاملeffect of portulaca oleracea seeds on the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2, 9 and tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 in patients with type 2 diabetes
objective: diabetes plays an important role in the progression of tissue damage. influencing factors of the cellular matrix can lead to changes in the structure and function of tissues or their failure. herbal consumption can be effective in reducing tissue failure. the aim of the this study is to research the effect portulaca oleracea seeds on the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2, 9 and ti...
متن کاملGene Expression Analysis of Matrix Metalloproteinase 2, Matrix Metalloproteinase 13 and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 in Epithelium of Diseased Human Corneas*
It has been shown in animal models that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) are responsible for remodelling and neovascularization of the diseased cornea. Under normal conditions, MMPs are expressed at relatively low levels, which may increase in case of different corneal diseases. In this paper we have investigated gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2, matrix...
