Metalloproteinase-8 MMP

At the two lower concentrations, the orange color of methyl orange was confined to the top of the GPG spin column and with increasing concentrations the orange color moved down the column towards the top of the spin column frit, consistent with the ESI-MS intensity observations. Similar dose response titration studies have been reported with stronger binders, e.g., matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) protein with a substituted hydroxyamide WY252 with an IC50 of 9.9 pM (see Fig. 2.7) [15].

Extended biological investigations concerning structure-function studies were further initiated to evaluate the abilities of these clusters to inhibit Con A-induced membrane type-1-matrix metalloproteinase (MTl-MMP)-mediated pro-MMP-2 activation, cell death, and antiproliferative property in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC).83... 

The hypothesis that stress can modulate MMP expression is also supported by studies in mice. Using social isolation as a stressor, the mRNA levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, matrix-type matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MT1-MMP), and urokinase-type plasminogen activator were higher in the tumor and liver tissues of the isolated mice than in control mice.91 Furthermore, a recent study has shown that restraint stress causes an increase in expression of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, another key player in the plas-minogen/plasmin enzyme system in mice.92 As these enzymes have been described to have functions besides their role in ECM remodeling,93 studies on stress-related effects on MMP/TIMP balance have implications in the relationship between stress and cancer initiation and progression..

Herr et al. [137] developed a microfluidic chip for saliva-based analysis of proteins (see Fig. 15) [137], which allowed for automated measurement of total salivary metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) concentration. The chip performed three tasks (1) enrichment of targets from saliva via a size-exclusion membrane inside...
