Suppression of angiogenesis by lentiviral delivery of PEX, a noncatalytic fragment of matrix metalloproteinase 2.
Modulation of the balance between pro- and antiangiogenic factors holds great promise for the treatment of a broad spectrum of human disease ranging from ischemic heart disease to cancer. This requires both the identification of angiogenic regulators and their efficient delivery to target organs. Here, we demonstrate the use of a noncatalytic fragment of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (termed PEX) ...
متن کاملDisruption of Angiogenesis by PEX, a Noncatalytic Metalloproteinase Fragment with Integrin Binding Activity
Angiogenesis depends on both cell adhesion and proteolytic mechanisms. In fact, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and integrin alphavbeta3 are functionally associated on the surface of angiogenic blood vessels. A fragment of MMP-2, which comprises the C-terminal hemopexin-like domain, termed PEX, prevents this enzyme binding to alphavbeta3 and blocks cell surface collagenolytic activity. PEX b...
متن کاملEffect of PEX, a noncatalytic metalloproteinase fragment with integrin-binding activity, on experimental Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection.
Chlamydophila pneumoniae is a pathogen that is involved in acute and chronic respiratory infections and that is associated with asthma and coronary artery diseases. In this study, we evaluated the effects of PEX, a noncatalytic metalloproteinase fragment with integrin-binding activity, against experimental infections caused by C. pneumoniae. Moreover, we investigated the relationships between C...
