We examined the effects of endothelin (ET) on the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in cultured MCs. Addition of the ET(A) receptor antagonists or neutralizing anti-endothelin antibody into MC cultures markedly augmented the secretion and activation of MMP-2. On the contrary, addition of the exogenous ET-1 into MC culture significantly inhibited the synthesis of MMP-2 in both basal...
In this data article we have provided evidence for the negative influence of divalent cations on (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)-mediated inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity in cell-free experiments. Chelating agents, such as EDTA and sodium citrate alone, did not affect MMP-2 activity. While EDTA enhanced, excess of divalent cations interfered with EGCG-mediated inh...
We explored the changes of the initially highly upgraded cerebrospinal fluid matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of MMP 1 (TIMP-1) response during recovery of childhood bacterial meningitis and their association with outcome. The sizes of these changes varied substantially, but a steeper decrease in the MMP-9 and an increase of the TIMP-1 concentrations augured a better outc...
Background and Objective: Current evidence indicates that extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is a component of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) has a role in early atherosclerosis, plaque rupture and myocardial infarction (MI). The necessity of inhibition of ECM remodeling and subsequent injuries in patients with AMI suggests that MMP might be involved in ...
The ability of carcinoma cells arising at primary sites to cross their underlying basement membrane (BM), a specialized form of extracellular matrix that subtends all epithelial cells, and to access the host vasculature are central features of the malignant phenotype. The initiation of the invasive phenotype has been linked to the aberrant expression of zinc-finger transcriptional repressors, l...
Up to 50% of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) recur following surgical resections with conventional "histologically-negative" margins. Three members of the SIBLING family of proteins: dentin sialophophoprotein (DSPP); bone sialoprotein (BSP); and osteopontin OPN are upregulated in OSCCs. In this study, we aimed to correlate the expression of DSPP, OPN and BSP as well as three SIBLING-partn...
Leukolysin/membrane-type 6 matrix metalloproteinase (leukolysin/MT6-MMP), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored neutrophil matrix metalloproteinase, is also abnormally expressed in brain cancer tissues. Yet, little is known about its role in cancer progression. Here we show that MT6-MMP is capable of activating proMMP-2, an enzyme implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis. Although MT6-MMP ...
The present study aimed to detect early changes in the concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), matrix metalloproteinase‑2 (MMP‑2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‑1 (TIMP‑1) in a rat model of brain injury combined with traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO). A total of 132 male Sprague‑Dawley rats were used to establish the experimental and control groups. Anatomy and sam...
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether nitroglycerin (NTG) treatment affects matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression and activities in human macrophages. BACKGROUND Nitroglycerin is one of the most frequently used therapeutic agents for the symptomatic relief of stable or unstable coronary artery disease; however, its effects on vascular biology are poorly characterized. Desp...
Objective(s):N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a candidate gene for tumor suppression. The expression of NDRG2 is down-regulated in several tumors including lung cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of NDRG2 overexpression on invasion, migration, and enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and -9 (MMP-9) in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Ma...
