چکیده

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) regulate cell proliferation, survival, morphology, and migration, as well as deposition and turnover of the extracellular matrix. Important roles for the A form of PDGF (PDGF-A) during connective tissue morphogenesis have been highlighted by the murine Patch mutation, which includes a deletion of the alpha subunit of the PDGF receptor. Homozygous (Ph/Ph) embryos exhibit multiple connective tissue defects including cleft face (involving the first branchial arch and frontonasal processes), incomplete heart septation, and heart valve abnormalities before they die in utero. Analyses of the cell biology underlying the defects in Ph/Ph embryos have revealed a deficit in a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2) and one of its activators (MT-MMP) that are likely to be involved in cell migration and tissue remodeling, two processes necessary for normal cardiac and craniofacial development. Morphogenesis of these structures requires infiltration of ectomesenchymal precursors and their subsequent deposition and remodeling of extracellular matrix components. First branchial arch and heart tissue from E10.5 embryos were examined by gelatin zymography and RT-PCR in order to characterize the expression of MMPs in these tissues. Of the MMPs examined, only MMP-2 and one of its activators, MT-MMP, were expressed in the first arch and heart at this stage of development. Tissues from Ph/Ph embryos exhibited a significant decrease in both MMP-2 and MT-MMP compared to tissues from normal embryos of the same developmental stage. In order to assess whether this decrease affects the motile activity of mesenchymal cells, cell migration from Ph/Ph branchial arch explants was compared to migration from normal arch tissue and found to be significantly less. In addition, the migratory ability of branchial arch cells from normal explants could be reduced in a similar manner using a specific MMP inhibitor. Although it is still unclear whether the MMP-2 reduction is a direct result of the absence of response of Ph/Ph cells to PDGF-A treatment of normal branchial arch cells in vitro with recombinant PDGF-AA significantly upregulated MMP-2 protein. Together, these results suggest that PDGF-A regulates MMP-2 expression and activation during normal development and that faulty proteinase expression may be at least partially responsible for the developmental defects exhibited by Ph/Ph embryos.

P-136: Association of Matrix MetalloProteinase- 2,-9 Overexpression and Imbalance PR-A/PR-B Ratio in Endometriosis

Background: Matrix MetalloProteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix components to provide normal remodeling and contribute to pathological tissue destruction and cell migration in endometriosis. It is accepted that MMPs are resistant to suppression by progesterone in endometriotic tissues. The physiological effects of progesterone are mediated by its two progesterone receptor (PR) isoform...

N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 overexpression reduces matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 activities and cell invasion of A549 lung cancer cell line in vitro

Objective(s):N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a candidate gene for tumor suppression. The expression of NDRG2 is down-regulated in several tumors including lung cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of NDRG2 overexpression on invasion, migration, and enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and -9 (MMP-9) in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.  Ma...

Magnobovatol inhibits smooth muscle cell migration by suppressing PDGF-Rβ phosphorylation and inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression

The migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and post-angioplasty restenosis. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB is a potent mitogen for VSMCs and plays an important role in the intimal accumulation of VSMCs. Magnobovatol, a new neolignan from the fruits of Magnolia obovata, has been shown t...

Effect of Foretinib on Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) Expression in Glioblastoma

Background: The most malignant form of infiltrating astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is one of the most aggressive human cancers. Foretinib diminished GBM cell invasion by downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). The study aimed to examine the anti-tumor activity of foretinib and to test its effect on MMP2 expression in T98 cells. Materials and methods: T9...

The lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. However in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. The metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...
