Matrix metalloproteinase-8 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in serum do not reflect the analytes circulating in blood.
In response: We appreciate the interest of Professor Jung1 in our article. He raises an important issue concerning the methods of collecting blood samples for assay determinations and points out the differences between serum and plasma matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 measurements. The serum samples used in our study were collected in vacuum glass tubes (Venoject VT-100 Terumo Corp) as previous...
متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1/2 as Predictive Factors in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: Metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors play an important role in the metastases formation. A multistage process of carcinogenesis requires the involvement of numerous enzymes and compounds that facilitate the expansion of tumor cells. The formation of metastases depends on both metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors activation leading to the acti...

متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase in serum and synovial fluid of osteoarthritic dogs.
To better understand the mechanisms responsible for the pathological processes of osteoarthritis (OA) and to potentially identify a profile of changes that could be predictive of early OA, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in the synovial fluid and serum of normal and osteoarthritic dogs were examined. The concentration of MMP-1 in th...
متن کاملangiotensin 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...
