Gene Polymorphism of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 in Asthenozoospermic Male Subjects
Objective Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMPs) play important roles in the structural and functional properties of reproductive organs. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of C-1562T Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (rs3918242) gene polymorphism in fertile and infertile men. In addition, we aimed to determine the association between C-1562T MMP-9 and G-1575A MMP-2 gene polymorphisms. Mate...
متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Meningioma
Background: Meningioma is one of the most common tumors of the central nervous system. It was shown that meningioma had up-regulated expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) that involved in cell growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Objectives: The aim of the study was the assessment of serum MMP-2 and -9 levels in patients with different grades of meningioma. Materials & Me...
متن کاملEffects of deletion of the matrix metalloproteinase 9 gene on development of murine thoracic aortic aneurysms.
BACKGROUND The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to cardiovascular remodeling, and MMPs, such as the gelatinases (MMP-9 and MMP-2), have been identified in thoracic aortic aneurysmal (TAA) tissue, but a cause-effect relationship has not been clearly established. Accordingly, this study examined TAA progression in mice devoid of the MMP-9 gene. METHODS AND RESULTS The descending thor...

متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-9 gene deletion facilitates angiogenesis after myocardial infarction.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are postulated to be necessary for neovascularization during wound healing. MMP-9 deletion alters remodeling postmyocardial infarction (post-MI), but whether and to what degree MMP-9 affects neovascularization post-MI is unknown. Neovascularization was evaluated in wild-type (WT; n = 63) and MMP-9 null (n = 55) mice at 7-days post-MI. Despite similar infarct siz...
