Structure and function of matrix metalloproteinases and TIMPs.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also called matrixins, function in the extracellular environment of cells and degrade both matrix and non-matrix proteins. They play central roles in morphogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair and remodelling in response to injury, e.g. after myocardial infarction, and in progression of diseases such as atheroma, arthritis, cancer and chronic tissue ulcers. Th...

هدف از انجام این تخقیق بررسی رابطه احتمالی بین سطح مهارت زبان خارجی (foreign language proficiency) و ساختار مهارت زبان خارجی بود. تعداد 314 زبان آموز مونث و مذکر که عمدتا دانشجویان رشته های زبان انگلیسی در سطوح کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. از لحاظ سطح مهارت زبان خارجی شرکت کنندگان بسیار با هم متفاوت بودند، (75 نفر سطح پیشرفته، 113 نفر سطح متوسط، 126 سطح مقدماتی). کلا ...
15 صفحه اولMatrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in ovarian function.
Growth and ovulation of follicles, and development, maintenance, and regression of the corpus luteum depend on cyclical remodelling of the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix consists of proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous components and provides the tissue-specific, extracellular architecture to which cells attach, and modulates the activities of cells through cell surface receptors...
متن کاملThe role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in the development of esophageal cancer.
Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. There are two distinct histological types of EC: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Etiologic factors and the patterns of incidence of both subtypes are different. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) play an important role in ...
متن کاملInvolvement of protein kinase C in TNFalpha regulation of trabecular matrix metalloproteinases and TIMPs.
PURPOSE The cytokine TNFalpha is a strong modulator of trabecular meshwork (TM) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and tissue inhibitor (TIMP) expression. Studies were conducted to identify signal-transduction pathways involved. METHODS Porcine TM cells were treated with TNFalpha, and MMP and TIMP levels were evaluated by zymography and Western immunoblot. Inhibitors and activators of several sig...
