Dynamics of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with special reference to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1).

angiotensin ii differentially induces matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 production and disturbs mmp/timp balance

angiotensin ii, the main component of the renin-angiotensin system, is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, vascular remodeling and inflammation. remodeling process results from dysregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and their tissue inhibitors (timps). mmps are considered as important target genes for angiotensin ii. the aim of this study was to determine th...

Angiotensin II Differentially Induces Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 Production and Disturbs MMP/TIMP Balance

Angiotensin II, the main component of the renin-angiotensin system, is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, vascular remodeling and inflammation. Remodeling process results from dysregulation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). MMPs are considered as important target genes for angiotensin II. The aim of this study was to determine th...

effect of portulaca oleracea seeds on the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2, 9 and tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 in patients with type 2 diabetes

objective: diabetes plays an important role in the progression of tissue damage. influencing factors of the cellular matrix can lead to changes in the structure and function of tissues or their failure. herbal consumption can be effective in reducing tissue failure. the aim of the this study is to research the effect portulaca oleracea seeds on the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2, 9 and ti...

All trans-retinoic acid selectively down-regulates matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and up-regulates tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in human bronchoalveolar lavage cells.

BACKGROUND The balance between proteinases and antiproteinases plays an important role in tissue destruction and remodelling. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema, an imbalance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and inhibitors of tissue metalloproteinase (TIMPs) has been reported. Alveolar macrophages are considered to be the main source of MMPs. We therefore have...
