Rattus norvegicus | peptide Ile-Trp isoleucine-tryptophan inhibits expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in rat aorta, mechanism of action, overview. The inhibitor significantly inhibits ANGI, but not ANGII mediated increase in expression of MMP2, while losartan also blocks effects of ANGII. Signaling pathways regulating MMP2 expression in endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells are similarly inhibited after treatment with Ile-Trp or captopril. Ile-Trp not only inhibits the MMP2 expression, but also its activation assessed with gelatin zymography | down |
Rattus norvegicus | in vitro, both angiotensin II (ANGII) and ANGI stimulation significantly increase expression of MMP2 | up |

metabolism | aortic stiffness is an independent risk factor for development of cardiovascular diseases. Activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) including angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity leads to overproduction of angiotensin II (ANGII) from its precursor angiotensin I (ANGI). ANGII leads to overexpression and activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), which is critically associated with pathophysiology of aortic stiffness | Rattus norvegicus |
