Increased Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases
Dysregulated extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism may contribute to vascular remodeling during the development and complication of human atherosclerotic lesions. We investigated the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of enzymes that degrade ECM components in human atherosclerotic plaques (n =30) and in uninvolved arterial specimens (n=11). We studied members of all three ...
متن کاملExpression of matrix metalloproteinases during experimental Candida albicans keratitis.
PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) during the inception and progression of experimental keratomycosis. METHODS Scarified corneas of adult BALB/c mice were topically inoculated with Candida albicans strain SC5314 and monitored for disease severity. Infected and mock-infected corne...
متن کاملComparison of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 mRNA Expression in Prostatic Adenocarcinoma and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Background and Aims: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide in men. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) has a role in the invasion and destruction of the basement membrane and the extra-cellular matrix and facilitating the process of tumor cell invasion. The present study was conducted to compare the expression of MMP2 gene in prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic ...

متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 19 in Odontogenic Keratocysts and Dentigerous Cysts
Background and Aim: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and dentigerous cyst (DC) are two common developmental cysts involving the jaws. The role of matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP2) and 19 (MMP19) in progression and invasion of some cysts and tumors has been documented. This study sought to assess the expression of MMP2 and MMP19 in OKCs and DCs. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive analyti...
