Matrix metalloproteinases and their function in myocardium.
A significant number of myocardial diseases are accompanied by increased synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as by changed maturation and incorporation of ECM components. Important groups of enzymes responsible for both normal and pathological processes in ECM remodeling are matrix metaloproteinases (MMPs). These enzymes share a relatively conserved structure wit...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors in pressure-overloaded human myocardium during heart failure progression.
OBJECTIVES We studied the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in fibrosis formation in the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure (HF) as well as the cellular source of MMPs and TIMPs. BACKGROUND Human pressure-overloaded hearts are characterized by a significant increase in cardiac fibrosis. However, the contribution of the proteolytic/antiprote...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in ovarian function.
Growth and ovulation of follicles, and development, maintenance, and regression of the corpus luteum depend on cyclical remodelling of the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix consists of proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous components and provides the tissue-specific, extracellular architecture to which cells attach, and modulates the activities of cells through cell surface receptors...
متن کاملThe Extracellular Matrix, Matrix Metalloproteinases and their roles in Disease
Biomedical research is often thought to primarily focus upon the trillions of cells that make up the body. However just as study of the immune system cannot ignore the lymph in favor of blood, the extracellular matrix (ECM) cannot be ignored in favor of the cells. The ECM is a dynamic structure that acts as scaffolding substrate for cell adhesion, as well as a reservoir of various proteins, gro...
متن کاملEvaluation of matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 13 in the patients with breast cancer and their association with the clinical features
Background: Metalloproteinase enzymes can lead to the digestion of the extracellular matrix and its compounds and ultimately facilitate the metastasis of cancer cells to other tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 1 and 13 in the tissue and plasma samples of the patients with breast cancer and their relationship with clinical features of the dise...
