MMP-2 is a likely effector of endometrial menstrual breakdown. It plays a role in endometrial menstrual breakdown, regulation of vascularization and the inflammatory response. Kenny et al. (2008) found that expression of MMP2 was induced upon attachment of ovarian cancer (OvCa) cells to mesot...
Cells were harvested, and the presence of mono- and oligonucleosomes in the cytoplasm was assayed by enzyme-linked immunoassay (Cell Death Detection ELISAplus kit, Roche Applied Science (30, 31)). As a positive control, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP, #487910, EMD Biosciences, Inc.,...
In the current study, an increase in COMP, MMP1, and MMP13 in the knees of rats with OA was observed, and was reversed by combining curcumin with swimming for 4 weeks. The fact that inflammation results in the activation of the MMPs such as MMP2, MMP3, MMP9, and MMP13, which ...
(methanol extract: 1.002 ± 0.073;n-hexane fraction: 1.127 ± 0.076; ethyl acetate fraction: 1.112 ± 0.099) after treatment withE. crassipescompared to those in the positive control group. Similarly, expression levels of MMP-2 were also found to be significantly reduced in plant-treated groups...
