increases enzyme expression and activity in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells, involvement of PKC and/or MAPK signaling cascades, overview, the activation is inhibited by 52% by Gö6976, a PKC inhibitor, at 100 nM, while inhibitors SN50 and SP600125 have no effect on the activation
distribution and activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in skeletal muscle fibers, quantification of MMP2 in muscle, overview. On average, about 57% of the MMP2, along with most of the GAPDH, in the skinned fibers is freely diffusible in the cytosol, about 6% of the MMP2 dissociates with the subsequent 10-min Triton X-100 treatment, and about 37% of the MMP2 remains in the skinned fiber
aged arterial wall, colocalization of activated enzyme and transforming growth factor TGF-beta1. Treatment of young aortic rings with activated enzyme enhances active transforming growth factor TGF-beta-1, collagen, and fibronectin expression to the level of untreated old counterparts
vascular smooth muscle, colocalization of activated enzyme and transforming growth factor TGF-beta1. Treatment of vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro with activated enzyme enhances active transforming growth factor TGF-beta-1, collagen, and fibronectin expression to the level of untreated old counterparts
in rat soleus muscle and other tissues, pro- and active MMP2 show gelatinase activity, as well as a higher band that has been reported previously to represent a rodent-specific glycosylated MMP2
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
in adult rats, in opposite to development of tooth, the MMP-9 and MMP-2 present in the odontogenic region does not seem to play a direct role in the remodeling matrix, even after post-shortening procedures which to lead an acceleration of the eruption process in the incisor
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
during gastric ulcer healing, enzyme expression as well as matrix metalloproteinase MMP-3 and MMP-13 are induced in stromal cells of the gastric mucosa bordering the ulcer. Gelatinolytic activity is increased during the healing and is associated with extracellular matrix of the healing mucosa and newly formed vessels. Enzyme mRNA is homogenously distributed in all layers of the ulcer bed
endogenous urokinase plasminogen activator from cultured hepatic stellate cells significantly induces the active forms of enzyme and matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 in cirrhotic tissue slices. Transfection of hepatic stellate cells with urokinase plasminogen activator gene results in overactivation of enzyme and matrix metalloproteinases MMP-3 and MMP-9
