Ovarian tissue remodeling: role of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors.
Follicular formation, growth or atresia, and ovulation as well as luteal formation and subsequent regression are dependent upon cyclical remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The proteinaceous and nonproteinaceous components of the ECM provide the tissue specific, extracellular architecture to which cells attach. Furthermore, the ECM modulates cellular activities through cellular surfac...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in connective tissue remodeling.
Matrix metalloproteinases are an important group of zinc enzymes responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix components such as collagen and proteoglycans in normal embryogenesis and remodeling and in many disease processes such as arthritis, cancer, periodontitis, and osteoporosis. A matrixin family is defined, comprising at least seven members that range in size from Mr 28,000 to ...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in human vitreous.
PURPOSE To conduct zymographic analysis to study the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in vitreous samples of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy as part of the treatment of vitreoretinal disease. METHODS Forty-two vitreous samples were collected at the time of pars plana vitrectomy. Diagnoses included severe (exudative) age-related macu...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in canine mammary tumors
BACKGROUND Malignant canine mammary tumors represent 50% of all neoplasms in female dogs. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are thought to be involved in tumor progression, and they are also associated with the reactive stroma, which provides structural and vascular support for tumor growth. RESULTS MMP-2, MMP-9 and MT1-MMP were expressed at ...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe and progressive disease characterised by high pulmonary artery pressure, usually culminating in right heart failure. Current therapeutic approaches in PH largely provide symptomatic relief while the prognosis rate is lower due to the lack of specific molecular targets and the involvement of several factors in the development of PH. Numerous studies have s...
