role of matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and mmp inhibitors on intracranial aneurysms: a review article
Authors
abstract
cerebrovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the world, and about one-fourth of cerebrovascular deaths are due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms (ca). hence it is important to find a way to reduce aneurysm formation and its subsequent morbidity and mortality. proteolytic activity capable of lysing gelatin has been shown to be increased in aneurysm tissue and expression of plasmin, membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase- 1(mt1-mmp), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (mmp-2) in aneurysmal wall is more than what we observe in normal cerebral arteries. mmp inhibitors such as doxycycline and statins may prohibit aneurysm formation and growth. mmps are important in tissue remodeling associated with various physiological and pathological processes such as morphogenesis, angiogenesis, apoptosis and tissue repair. in this article we review the role of mmps and mmp inhibitors in formation of aneurysm.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a large family of calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases, are involved in the tissue remodeling and degradation of the extracellular matrix. MMPs are widely distributed in the brain and regulate various processes including microglial activation, inflammation, dopaminergic apoptosis, blood-brain barrier disruption, and modulation of α-synuclein patholo...
full textThe 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 ...

OBJECTIVES The work has the objective to analyze the literature on the degradation of the adhesive interface. In particular the study is focused on the role of the metalloproteinase in the hydrolytic degradation of collagen matrix in the bonded interface. The survey will concern also the latest innovations to improve and increase the link between dentin and the restorative materials through the...
