Matrix metalloproteinases and epileptogenesis
Matrix metalloproteinases are vital drivers of synaptic remodeling in health and disease. It is suggested that at early stages of epileptogenesis, inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases may help ameliorate cell death, aberrant network rewiring, and neuroinflammation and prevent development of epilepsy.
متن کاملRoles of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Targets in Epileptogenesis and Seizures
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) remodel the pericellular environment by regulating the cleavage of extracellular matrix proteins, cell surface components, neurotransmitter receptors, and growth factors, which together regulate cell adhesion, synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and long-term potentiation. Increased MMP activity and dysregulat...

متن کاملP 88: Matrix Metalloproteinases in Neuroinflammation
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of neutral proteinases that are important in normal development, cellular differentiation or migration, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, wound repair, and a wide range of pathological processes such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. MMPs have been demonstrated to increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) by degrading the c...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases
What makes an MMP an MMP? They all have a conserved zinc-binding site in their catalytic domain (HEXGHXXGXXH), and the sequence PRCGVPD in the propeptide domain. The cysteine residue serves to anchor the propeptide to the catalytic zinc, suppressing enzymatic activity in a manner that is not unlike a thumb in an open mouth. Release of this interaction results in proteolytic activity. MMPs are a...
