Example sentences for: metalloproteinases
How can you use “metalloproteinases” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A further degree of regulation of MMP activity is afforded by the family of inhibitors: tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) [ 28].
Serum levels of the metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in patients with early synovitis
Some of the fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts, which contract to close the wound [ 4 14 15 ] . Myofibroblasts are fibrogenic, showing elevated expression of interstitial collagens, laminin, FN and TN, and inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases such as TIMP-1 [ 15 16 17 18 19 ] . Because cCAF is expressed highly in the granulation tissue of wounds in areas where ECM is abundant [ 3 6 11 ] , and it stimulates fibroblasts to differentiate into myofibroblasts [ 4 ] , we investigated whether this chemokine stimulates the production of the four major ECM molecules mentioned above, interstitial Colls I and III, TN and cellular FN.
The two major groups of proteinases involved in extracellular matrix degradation - serine proteinases and metalloproteinases - have been grouped by literature profiling (Figure 6b: urokinase plasminogen activation cascade (UPA, PLAUR, SERPIN) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP14, MMP10, MMP1)).
This example illustrates how functional relationships that could not be deduced from gene names were uncovered through the analysis of patterns of term occurrence: matrix metalloproteinases (MMP1, 10, 14) and urokinase plasminogen activator (UPA, SPARC) are matrix-interacting molecules involved in tumor invasion and metastasis.
