Expression 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 کاملOvarian carcinoma regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase through beta1 integrin.
Culturing DOV 13 ovarian carcinoma cells on three-dimensional collagen lattice but not on thin-layer collagen induces processing of promatrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 to a M(r) 62,000 form, suggesting that multivalent integrin aggregation may participate in proteinase regulation. To address the role of collagen-binding integrins in this event, we treated DOV 13 cells with soluble beta1 integri...
متن کاملExpression of Membrane type 1-Matrix Metalloproteinase in Laryngeal Carcinoma
Cancer cell metastasis to distant organs is the major cause of death in cancer patients. Metastasis is a multistep process, and the initial step is considered to be the invasion of surrounding stromal tissue by cancer cell. The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components is essential for tumor cells to invade surrounding tissue and to form metastatic colonies in other distant organs an...
متن کاملCoordinated elevation of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase and matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression in rat uterus during postpartum involution
BACKGROUND The changes occurring in the rodent uterus after parturition can be used as a model of extensive tissue remodeling. As the uterus returns to its prepregnancy state, the involuting uterus undergoes a rapid reduction in size primarily due to the degradation of the extracellular matrix, particularly collagen. Membrane type-I matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is one of the major protein...
متن کاملIncreased matrix metalloproteinase-2 and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase activity and expression in heterotopically transplanted murine tracheas.
BACKGROUND Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most common long-term cause of morbidity and mortality after heart-lung or lung transplantation. One pathologic feature of BOS is infiltration of fibroblasts and connective tissue products into the airway lumen, which form a fibrous, collagen-rich occlusion. Heterotopically transplanted allogeneic murine tracheal stenosis resemble BOS in...
