Production of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin) by cultured ovine endometrial cells.
Ovine endometrial cells (stromal plus epithelial) in primary culture release matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin, MMP-3), the enzyme that degrades various extracellular components including the basement membrane components collagen IV and laminin. The enzyme was detected in tissue culture medium by specific enzyme assay. A low level of MMP-3 activity was released from the cells (0.12 +/- 0....
متن کاملStromelysin-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-3) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 are overexpressed in the wall of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) but more often causes aortic occlusive disease (AOD). The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix and may play a central role in the pathogenesis of AAA. The aim of this study was to examine differences in the patterns of MMP and MMP inhibitor expression between AAA and AOD. M...
متن کاملActivities of the matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin-2 (MMP-10) in matrix degradation and keratinocyte organization in wounded skin.
The matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin-2 is expressed in keratinocytes of the epithelial tongue of skin wounds, suggesting a role in keratinocyte migration. Here, we show that stromelysin-2 enhances migration of cultured keratinocytes. To gain insight into the in vivo activities of stromelysin-2 in epithelial repair, we generated transgenic mice expressing a constitutively active stromelysin-...
متن کاملDendrite reshaping of adult Drosophila sensory neurons requires matrix metalloproteinase-mediated modification of the basement membranes.
In response to changes in the environment, dendrites from certain neurons change their shape, yet the mechanism remains largely unknown. Here we show that dendritic arbors of adult Drosophila sensory neurons are rapidly reshaped from a radial shape to a lattice-like shape within 24 hr after eclosion. This radial-to-lattice reshaping arises from rearrangement of the existing radial branches into...
متن کاملImmunolocalisation of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin) in rheumatoid synovioblasts (B cells): correlation with rheumatoid arthritis
was immunolocalised in hyperplastic synovial lining cells in rheumatoid synovium, but not in the cells of normal synovium. Cells responsible for synthesis of MMP-3 have the phenotype of synovioblasts (B cells) by immunoelectron microscopy, but not of phagocytic synovial macrophages (A cells). Cultured monolayer of rheumatoid synovial cells synthesises MMP-3 only under treatment with macrophage ...
