متن کاملMultifaceted role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a large family of calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases, are involved in the tissue remodeling and degradation of the extracellular matrix. MMPs are widely distributed in the brain and regulate various processes including microglial activation, inflammation, dopaminergic apoptosis, blood-brain barrier disruption, and modulation of α-synuclein patholo...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs in the respiratory tract: potential implications in asthma and other lung diseases.
In healthy lung, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their physiological inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs), are produced in the respiratory tract by a panel of different structural cells. These activities are mandatory for many physiological processes including development, wound healing and cell trafficking. Deregulation of proteolytic-antiproteolytic network ...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Tumor growth and development involves interaction between tumor cells and extracellular matrix components characterized by cell proliferation, survival, migration into other tissues by invasion or metastasis. Migration of these tumor cells involve degradation of ECM which is facilitated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Thus MMPs serve useful tool for early diagnosis, prognosis and survival ...
متن کاملMembrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) in tumor metastasis.
Activated gelatinase A is reportedly associated with tumor spread. We identified novel matrix metalloproteinases that localize on the cell surface and mediate the activation of progelatinase A. Thus, these progelatinase A activators were named membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -2 (MT-MMP-1 and -2, respectively). MT-MMP-1 is overexpressed in malignant tumor tissues, including lung and...
