Effects of Hepatocyte Growth Factor on Collagen Synthesis and Matrix Metalloproteinase Production in Keloids
Keloids are pathologic proliferations of the dermal layer of the skin resulting from excessive collagen production and deposition. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) increases the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and suppresses collagen synthesis to modulate extracellular matrix turnover. To investigate the anti-fibrotic effects of HGF, we examine the mRNA expression of collagen types...
متن کاملJujube and green tea extracts protect human fibroblast cells against UVB-mediated photo damage and MMP-2 and MMP-9 production
Objective: Oxidative stress and ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation are known as principal inducers of DNA damage and modulators of gene expression in aging process and skin photoaging, which are associated with upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Because of the antioxidant capacity of jujube and green tea, we decided to determine their protective effects of human fib...
متن کاملThe Effect of Regular Swimming Exercise on the Levels of Renal Matrix Mettaloproteinase-2 and Transforming Growth Factor-β1 in Rats with Diabetes
Background & Aims: Numerous studies have reported the renoprotective effects of exercise in both human and animal models of diabetic nephropathy. However, detailed mechanism of action by which exercise has a favorable influence on renal fibrogenic factors is not yet fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of swimming exercise on the activity ...
متن کاملAstragaloside IV controls collagen reduction in photoaging skin by improving transforming growth factor-β/Smad signaling suppression and inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-1
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light reduces levels of type I collagen in the dermis and results in human skin damage and premature skin aging (photoaging). This leads to a wrinkled appearance through the inhibition of transforming growth factor‑β (TGF‑β)/Smad signaling. UV irradiation increases type I collagen degradation through upregulating matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression. Astragalos...
متن کاملLevels of plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in response to INTEGRA® dermal regeneration template implantation
BACKGROUND Cutaneous wound healing results in scar formation. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) transform extracellular matrix proteins and modulate inflammation and cell signaling, thus determining scar outcome. To provide rapid wound closure and reduced scarring, dermal scaffolds were introduced. Little is known about the influence of these materials on MMPs levels. MATERIAL AND METHODS In th...
