Increased plasma concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-7 in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Plaque rupture is often associated with breakdown of the extracellular matrix in the shoulder region of a plaque. We tested whether plasma concentrations of various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) could serve as markers for plaque instability as well as relationships between plasma MMPs and inflammatory markers. METHODS The stud...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations and genetic variation of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 secretion by macrophages and other inflammatory cells accelerates atherosclerotic progression and destabilizes vulnerable plaque in animal models. However, epidemiological data evaluating the prognostic impact of circulating concentrations and functional genetic variations of MMP-9 are lacking. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective study of 1127 pati...
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 کاملAssociation study between DNA methylation and genetic variation of APOE gene with the risk of coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common health problem with a high rate of disability and death. Dyslipidemia and altered metabolism of Apo-lipoproteins are involved in the CAD pathogenesis. The current study investigated two common polymorphisms (rs429358 and rs7412) and promoter DNA methylation status of APOE in the Iranian CAD patients and control subjects. Two hundred angiographi...
متن کاملGene 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 کاملGenetic Polymorphisms of Estrogen Receptors in Iranian Women with Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease
Estrogen might play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type 2. Estrogens inhibit diabetes via distinct mechanisms particularly by reducing both hyperglycemia and plasma insulin levels. Estrogen exerts its physiological effects mainly through estrogen receptors including α and β types. Estrogen receptors are found in many tissues that participate in the pathogenesis of ty...
