Rapid Communication Raloxifene-Mediated Increase in Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 Production by Activated Monocytes
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), proteolytic enzymes produced by monocytes, may contribute to atherosclerotic arterial wall remodeling and to plaque rupture. Because estrogen influences the synthesis of MMPs, we examined the effect of raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, on monocyte MMP production. Human primary blood monocytes treated with raloxifene (10 mmol/L) in the presenc...

متن کاملProduction of matrix metalloproteinase-9 by activated human monocytes involves a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/Akt/IKK /NF- B pathway
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is considered to be an important component in the progression of inflammation. Monocytes/macrophages are prominent at inflammation sites, and activation of these cells by stimulants, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor necrosis factor and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, leads to the production of significant amounts of MMP-9. Here, we s...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinase 9 Production by Monocytes is Enhanced by TNF and Participates in the Pathology of Human Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
INTRODUCTION Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) due to L.braziliensis infection is characterized by a strong inflammatory response with high levels of TNF and ulcer development. Less attention has been given to the role of mononuclear phagocytes to this process. Monocytes constitute a heterogeneous population subdivided into classical, intermediate and non-classical, and are known to migrate to infla...
متن کاملEnhanced production and activation of progelatinase A mediated by membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase in human papillary thyroid carcinomas.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are believed to be involved in the invasion and metastasis of various human carcinomas. In the present study, the production levels of seven different MMPs (MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -9, and -13), the activation of the zymogen of MMP-2 (proMMP-2), the expression of membrane-type MMPs (MT1-, MT2-, and MT3-MMPs), and the tissue localization of the activated enzyme we...
