Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors and Mmp3 Polymorphism in Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a progressive and chronic disease resulting from atherosclerotic events. Atherosclerotic obstructions are consequence of chronic ischemia in the lower extremity arteries in patients with PVD. It is suggested that blood levels of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and endogenous Tissue inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been associated with atheroscl...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases in arthritic disease
The role of matrix metalloproteinases in the degradative events invoked in the cartilage and bone of arthritic joints has long been appreciated and attempts at the development of proteinase inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents have been made. However, the spectrum of these enzymes orchestrating connective tissue turnover and general biology is much larger than anticipated. Biochemical stu...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases: implication in vascular matrix remodelling during atherogenesis.
1. The matrix metalloproteinases are a family of at least 16 zinc-dependent endopeptidases possessing catalytic activity against extracellular matrix components. Some members of this family have been implicated in vascular matrix remodelling in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. 2. A common, naturally occurring variant has been identified in the promoter of the stromelysin gene with one allel...
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 and cardiovascular disease.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of endopeptidases with capacity to cleave components of extracellular matrix, such as collagen and elastin. The ability to modify the tissues is important for several aspects of normal and abnormal physiology. Approximately 20 different MMPs are identified, and they can be subdivided into different groups according to which components of the extracel...
