Regulation of matrix metalloproteinases in human endometrium.
Considerable evidence supports a role for matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in menstruation, but their focal pattern of expression within perimenstrual and menstrual endometrium suggests local rather than hormonal regulation. Menstruation shares a number of features with inflammatory responses, with leukocyte infiltration, proliferation and activation, occurring in the endometrium prior to menstr...
متن کاملExpression pattern of metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of matrix-metalloproteinases in cycling human endometrium.
The cyclic growth, differentiation, and cell death of endometrium represents the most dynamic example of steroid-driven tissue turnover in human adults. Key effectors in these processes-matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific inhibitors (TIMPs)-are regulated by ovarian steroids and, locally, by cytokines. We used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the expres...
متن کاملSuppression of matrix metalloproteinases inhibits establishment of ectopic lesions by human endometrium in nude mice.
Matrix metalloproteinases of the stromelysin family are expressed in the human endometrium as a consequence of cellular events during the menstrual cycle that require extracellular matrix remodeling. We have recently documented the presence of these enzymes in lesions of endometriosis, a benign disease that presents as persistent ectopic sites of endometrial tissue, usually within the peritonea...
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 کاملIntegrin receptor signaling and matrix metalloproteinases regulation
Integrins play a significant role in the acquisition of a neoplastic phenotype through their ability to induce cell proliferation and prevent apoptosis. Complex alterations in the integrin expression profile, including upor downregulation, are associated with tumorigenesis. It is currently generally accepted that the combined participation of integrins and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is es...
