Matrix metalloproteinase expression in the olfactory epithelium.
The olfactory epithelium contains neuronal progenitor cells capable of continuous neurogenesis and is a unique model for studying neural degeneration, regeneration, axon outgrowth and recovery from injury. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), have been implicated in cell turnover, development, migration, and metastatic processes. We used Western...
متن کاملMatrilysin (matrix metalloproteinase-7) expression in human junctional epithelium.
Matrilysin is a matrix metalloproteinase expressed in exocrine and mucosal epithelium in many human tissues. Immunohistochemical staining showed that matrilysin is expressed in suprabasal cells of junctional epithelium facing the teeth and in epithelial cell rests of Malassez. No matrilysin expression was seen in the periodontal pocket tissue. In a tissue culture model mimicking junctional epit...
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 کاملRelationship between the Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase and Clinicopathologic Features in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity is one of the most important and common types of head and neck malignancy, with an estimated rate of 4% among all human malignancies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 and the clinicopathological features of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Met...
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...
