Matrix metalloproteinase inhibition attenuates aortic calcification.
OBJECTIVE Arterial calcification has been associated with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated elastin degradation. In this study, we investigated whether inhibiting MMP activity could reduce calcium accumulation in rodent models of aortic calcification. METHODS AND RESULTS Aortic calcification was first induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by administration of vitamin D3. Treatment with do...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-9 inhibition attenuates vascular endothelial growth factor-induced intracerebral hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Human brain arteriovenous malformation tissue displays increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as well as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, a tissue protease associated with various intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We hypothesized that increased MMP-9 was associated with ICH induced by vascular endothelial growth factor hyperstimulation and that this ...
متن کاملEarly treatment with clarithromycin attenuates rat autoimmune myocarditis via inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activity.
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is upregulated in the hearts with myocarditis, and its activation contributes to the changes in left ventricular function. A major macrolide antibiotic, clarithromycin (CAM), has many biological functions including MMP regulation. However, little is known about the effect of CAM in myocarditis via MMPs. OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of MMPs r...
متن کاملHyperlipidemia attenuates the infarct size-limiting effect of ischemic preconditioning: role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 inhibition.
Hyperlipidemia attenuates the cardioprotective effect of preconditioning via unknown mechanisms. We have reported previously that in normolipidemic rats, preconditioning decreased ischemia-induced activation and release of myocardial matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 into the coronary perfusate. Here, we investigated whether hyperlipidemia interferes with the cardioprotective effect of precondit...
متن کاملSelective Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Attenuates Secondary Damage Resulting from Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and long-term disability. Following the initial insult, severe TBI progresses to a secondary injury phase associated with biochemical and cellular changes. The secondary injury is thought to be responsible for the development of many of the neurological deficits observed after TBI and also provides a window of opportunity for therapeutic ...
