PAR1 Is a Matrix Metalloprotease-1 Receptor that Promotes Invasion and Tumorigenesis of Breast Cancer Cells
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are a unique class of G protein-coupled receptors that play critical roles in thrombosis, inflammation, and vascular biology. PAR1 is proposed to be involved in the invasive and metastatic processes of various cancers. However, the protease responsible for activating the proinvasive functions of PAR1 remains to be identified. Here, we show that expression of ...
متن کاملStromal cell-derived factor-1 induces matrix metalloprotease-13 expression in human chondrocytes.
The production of chemokine stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 is significantly higher in synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 may contribute to the breakdown of articular cartilage during arthritis. Here, we found that SDF-1alpha increased the secretion of MMP-13 in cultured human chondrocytes, as shown by reverse transcrip...
متن کاملDegradation of Extracellular Matrix Molecules in Interleukin-1 Alpha Treated Bovine Nasal Cartilage
Background: This work aimed to show and compare the degradation time of some of cartilage extracellular matrix components using an in vitro model for cartilage degradation induced by interleukin-1 alpha. It is known that elucidation of molecular events under Interleukin-1 alpha induction of bovine nasal cartilage could obtain useful data to understand more about involving mechanisms for tissue ...
متن کامل4215 Matrix-metalloprotease activation in cultured corneas
Purpose. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binds to oorneal endothelial cells (BCE). We screened BCE for the expression of the VEGF receptors KDRIFLK-I and FLT-1 and analysed their functions. Methods. The expression of KDRIFLK-1 and FLT-1 mRNA was analysed by northern-blot. BCE were also transfeoted with expression vectors carriing the VEGF receptors sequences. Their ability to prolifer...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical expression of matrix metalloprotease-2 and matrix metalloprotease-9 in the disks of patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
PURPOSE Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are tissue-remodeling enzymes that function during the remodeling process, such as in immune-inflammatory diseases. Metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2) and metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) are gelatinases that degrade several types of extracellular matrix collagen. It is hypothesized that in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression levels may b...
