Effects of monocyte-endothelium interactions on the expression of type IV collagenases in monocytes.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Li YQ, Liu R, Xue JH, Zhang Y, Gao DF, Wu XS, Wang CX, Yang YB.
PMID: 25574228
Exp Ther Med. 2015 Feb;9(2):527-532. doi: 10.3892/etm.2014.2109. Epub 2014 Dec 05.

The adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells is one of the early stages in the development of atherosclerosis. The expression of type IV collagenases, which include matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9, in monocytes is hypothesized to play an important...

Requirement of mitogen-activated protein kinase for collagenase production by the fibronectin fragment in human articular chondrocytes in culture.

Modern rheumatology

Yasuda T, Julovi SM, Hiramitsu T, Yoshida M, Nakamura T.
PMID: 17028806
Mod Rheumatol. 2004;14(1):54-60. doi: 10.1007/s10165-003-0266-1.

Fibronectin fragments have been shown to up-regulate matrix metalloproteinase production in chondrocytes. We investigated the roles of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways activated by the COOH-terminal heparin-binding fibronectin fragment (HBFN-f) in collagenase production by human chondrocytes in culture. In...

Matrix metalloproteinases in corneal inflammation.

The ocular surface

Li DQ, Pflugfelder SC.
PMID: 17216119
Ocul Surf. 2005 Oct;3(4):S198-202. doi: 10.1016/s1542-0124(12)70255-0.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of calcium-dependent, zinc-containing endoproteinases capable of degrading the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. Many inflammatory stimuli, such as wound healing, ultraviolet, hyperosmolarity, and stress, can stimulate production of inflammatory cytokines and a variety...

Sickle cell disease activates peripheral blood mononuclear cells to induce cathepsins k and v activity in endothelial cells.

Anemia

Keegan PM, Surapaneni S, Platt MO.
PMID: 22550569
Anemia. 2012;2012:201781. doi: 10.1155/2012/201781. Epub 2012 Apr 09.

Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease that increases systemic inflammation as well as the risk of pediatric strokes, but links between sickle-induced inflammation and arterial remodeling are not clear. Cathepsins are powerful elastases and collagenases secreted by endothelial...

Urinary matrix metalloproteinase activity in diabetic kidney disease: a potential marker of disease progression.

Nephron extra

Altemtam N, Nahas ME, Johnson T.
PMID: 22949917
Nephron Extra. 2012 Jan;2:219-32. doi: 10.1159/000339645. Epub 2012 Aug 09.

BACKGROUND: Progressive kidney fibrosis, associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), results from an imbalance in extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis. Reduced matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) activity causing lower clearance of ECM proteins has been implicated mainly through an overproduction of tissue...

Tetracyclines Inhibit Tissue Collagenases: Effects of Ingested Low-Dose and Local Delivery Systems.

Journal of periodontology

Golub LM, Goodson JM, Lee HM, Vidal AM, McNamara TF, Ramamurthy NS.
PMID: 29538954
J Periodontol. 1985 Nov;56:93-97. doi: 10.1902/jop.1985.56.11s.93.

In a series of experiments, Golub et al. demonstrated that tetracyclines, but not other antibiotics, can inhibit mammalian collagenases and proposed that this property could be useful in treating diseases, such as periodontal disease (but also included certain medical...

Virulence Factors of the Periodontopathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.

Journal of periodontology

Fives-Taylor P, Meyer D, Mintz K.
PMID: 29539842
J Periodontol. 1996 Mar;67:291-297. doi: 10.1902/jop.1996.67.3s.291.

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is an important periodontopathogen that has been implicated in juvenile and adult periodontitis. This capnophilic coccobacillus elaborates a number of virulence factors such as a bacteriocin, chemotaxis-inhibiting factor, immunosuppressive factors, cytotoxic factors, Fc binding proteins, lipopolysaccharide (LPS),...

Lead identification and optimization of novel collagenase inhibitors; pharmacophore and structure based studies.

Bioinformation

Kalva S, Vadivelan S, Sanam R, Jagarlapudi SA, Saleena LM.
PMID: 22553386
Bioinformation. 2012;8(7):301-8. doi: 10.6026/97320630008301. Epub 2012 Apr 13.

In this study, chemical feature based pharmacophore models of MMP-1, MMP-8 and MMP-13 inhibitors have been developed with the aid of HypoGen module within Catalyst program package. In MMP-1 and MMP-13, all the compounds in the training set mapped...

Microorganisms

Salamone M, Nicosia A, Ghersi G, Tagliavia M.
PMID: 31554228
Microorganisms. 2019 Sep 24;7(10). doi: 10.3390/microorganisms7100387.

Proteolytic enzymes are of great interest for biotechnological purposes, and their large-scale production, as well as the discovery of strains producing new molecules, is a relevant issue. Collagenases are employed for biomedical and pharmaceutical purposes. The high specificity of...

Dentin degradonomics - The potential role of salivary MMP-8 in dentin caries.

Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry

Ashwini A, Dineshkumar T, Rameshkumar A, Swarnalakshmi R, Shahnaz A, Nagarathinam AE, Rajkumar K.
PMID: 32071691
J Clin Exp Dent. 2020 Feb 01;12(2):e108-e115. doi: 10.4317/jced.56144. eCollection 2020 Feb.

BACKGROUND: Dentin caries involves dissolution of minerals which eventually leads to degradation of organic matrix. This degradation which was thought to be by bacterial proteases is now considered to be orchestrated by endogenous collagenases such as Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)....

An in vitro evaluation of the Native American ethnomedicinal plant Eryngium yuccifolium as a treatment for snakebite envenomation.

Journal of intercultural ethnopharmacology

Price JA.
PMID: 27366346
