P 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 کاملNew Insights into the Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy complication globally, characterized by poor placentation triggering vascular dysfunction. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) exhibit proteolytic activity implicated in the efficiency of trophoblast invasion to the uterine wall, and a dysregulation of these enzymes has been linked to preeclampsia. A decrease in MMP-2 and MMP-9 interferes with the normal remodeli...
متن کاملNew insights into the world of matrix metalloproteinases.
The article by Carrel et al 1 in the present issue of Circulation provides remarkable new insights into the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their effects on the remodeling of the vascular system in aortic atherosclerotic and aneurysmal lesions. The MMPs constitute a family of endopeptidases that have in common the presence of zinc in their active site, a dependency on Ca for their activity...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases, New Insights into the Understanding of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a subfamily of zinc-dependent proteases that are responsible for degradation and remodeling of extracellular matrix proteins. The activity of MMPs is tightly regulated at several levels including cleavage of prodomain, allosteric activation, compartmentalization and complex formation with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). In the central nervous...
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...
