Expression 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 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...
متن کاملIncreased matrix metalloproteinase-2 and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase activity and expression in heterotopically transplanted murine tracheas.
BACKGROUND Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most common long-term cause of morbidity and mortality after heart-lung or lung transplantation. One pathologic feature of BOS is infiltration of fibroblasts and connective tissue products into the airway lumen, which form a fibrous, collagen-rich occlusion. Heterotopically transplanted allogeneic murine tracheal stenosis resemble BOS in...
متن کاملEffect of Foretinib on Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) Expression in Glioblastoma
Background: The most malignant form of infiltrating astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is one of the most aggressive human cancers. Foretinib diminished GBM cell invasion by downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). The study aimed to examine the anti-tumor activity of foretinib and to test its effect on MMP2 expression in T98 cells. Materials and methods: T9...
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...
