Circulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels as a possible marker of aortic stiffness.
as a Possible Marker of Aortic Stiffness To the Editor, Yasmin et al have recently reported very interesting findings showing that large artery stiffness has important effects on the cardiovascular risk.1 They have found increased serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 levels in subjects with isolated systolic hypertension compared with healthy subjects. In addition, they have found that serum ...
متن کاملSerum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a biomarker for monitoring disease progression in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
To identify serum biomarkers that allow monitoring of disease progression and treatment effects in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients, levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and osteopontin (OPN) were determined in 63 DMD patients on corticosteroid therapy. These proteins were selected for their role in the pathogenesis of muscula...
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 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 کاملElevated levels of circulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 in non-small cell lung cancer patients.
Elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase have been implicated as playing important role in tumour progression in several types of cancers. Our aim was to determine whether these enzyme might be a useful tumour marker for lung cancer and also to evaluate the correlation of circulating levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) with tumour histology, staging, nodal status, metastasis and pro...
