General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function MMP-8 is upregulated in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells and primary cultured microglia, and treatment with MMP-8 inhibitor or MMP-8 short hairpin RNA suppresses proinflammatory molecules, particularly TNF-alpha secretion. Treatment with MMP-8 inhibitor inhibits TNF-alpha-converting enzyme activity more efficiently than TAPI-0, a general TNF-alpha converting enzyme inhibitor. It inhibits MAPK phosphorylation, NF-kappaB/AP-1 activity, and reactive oxygen species production Homo sapiens
physiological function MMP-8 is upregulated in septic conditions, particularly in microglia. Administration of MMP-8 inhibitor or MMP-8 short hairpin RNA significantly inhibits microglial activation and expression/secretion of TNF-alpha in brain tissue, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid of lipopolysaccharid-induced septic mice Mus musculus
