Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Atorvastatin on Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein-induced Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Human MacrophagesBensheng Liu, Huifan Li, Yan Wang, Li ZhangAtorvastatin (ATV), an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases. Mononuclear Macrophages (MMs) are critical immune cells involved in atherosclerosis progression, participating in processes such as foam cell formation, cytokine secretion, and the development of fibrous cap and lipid core. To further elucidate the mechanism by which ATV exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis through the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 18 Nov 2025 · 2,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMMP-9 is a Potential Prognostic Marker of Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with Coronary Artery DiseaseMikhail Aleksandrovich Popov, Anastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Dmitry Valerievich Shumakov et al.Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) emerges as a promising prognostic marker for assessing left ventricular remodeling in patients with coronary artery disease, particularly in the context of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) complicated by left ventricular aneurysm. In this study, we conducted two parallel investigations to explore the prognostic significance of MMP-9 in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing left ventricular reconstruction … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 11 Jul 2024 · 4,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnti-Metalloproteinase-9 Activities of Selected Indonesian Zingiberaceae Rhizome Extracts in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Human Vascular Endothelial Cells In VitroYantiProblem statement: Atherosclerosis is associated with chronic inflammation triggered by bacterial infection that activates the breakdown of extracellular matrix protein by matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). Zingiberaceae, a group of tropical food crops grown in Indonesia and other Southeast Asia regions, has been traditionally used for food coloring, seasoning, culinary and medicinal purposes. However, its efficacy as natural vascular protection has not … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 May 2011 · 7,869 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCorrelation Between MMP-3, TIMP-3 Expression and Neuronal Apoptosis After Ischemia -Reperfusion Injury in RatesZi Xiaohong, Mutasem Abuhamed, Yuan Yi et al.Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a central role in many biological processes, such as embryogenesis, normal tissue remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis. How MMP3, TIMP3 expression and neuronal apoptosis (Fas, Fas-L and Bcl) may provide detrimental or beneficial actions during the injury and repair processes after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rates was studied. Adult rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction and Roles of Glial Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1-Associated Dementia Neuroinflammation: A ReviewC. Chao, A. GhorpadeProblem statement: Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) and its cognate targets, the Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), were differentially expressed in human brain samples with or without HIV-1 infection or HIV-1 Encephalitis (HIVE). Approach: A through literature review demonstrated that cell culture models of Central Nervous System (CNS) cell types had been used to illustrate the intricate temporal patterns of TIMP-1/MMP expression, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin and Tamoxifen on Growth and Angiogenesis of Mammary Tumor in Sprague-Dawley RatA. K. Sairah, A. Rasedee, O. Sheikh et al.Problem statement: Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) has been detected in breast cancer cells and speculated to be involved in cancer growth, viability and angiogenesis. This has risen suspicious that EPO administration may enhance the severity of cancer. Approach: This study was undertaken to determine the effects of rHuEPO, Tamoxifen and their combination on the growth and angiogenesis of mammary tumor. Female … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExtraction and Purification of Collagenase Enzymes: A Critical ReviewSaid M Daboor, Suzanne M Budge, Abdel E Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Enzymes have vital roles in several industrial processes (foods, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals) due to their highly selective nature and high activity at very low concentrations. Recent efforts to identify new sources of useful enzymes have been concentrated on the marine environment because of the potential to make use of processing wastes. About 35-50% of the mass of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 14,311 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Glucocorticoids on Trabecular Meshwork and its Role in GlaucomaAlina GenisPrimary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), an optic neuropathy that is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, has been studied extensively in hopes of better understanding its underlying mechanism. Glucocorticoids (GC) are commonly used to treat inflammatory ocular conditions but are also known to increase the risk of glaucoma by raising Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in susceptible individuals, leading to steroid-induced glaucoma. Based … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 14 Oct 2015 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Cell to Cell Interaction of Breast Cancer Cells Regulates Cancer Invasion Via ADAM15Daichi Ota, Masahiro Ikesue, Yutaka Matsui et al.Increasing evidence suggests that a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 15 (ADAM15) have essential roles in the process of cancer metastasis via degradation of the extracellular matrix and binding to integrins. Among them, ADAM15 possesses an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence within its disintegrin domain (d.d., hereafter) and binds to RGD recognizing-integrins such as αvβ3 and α5β1 and also interacts with integrin α9β1 in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2012 · 7,685 accessesView PDFCite
