Gelatin zymography was performed by modification of a previously published procedure to identify MMPs 1 and 9 [ 10, 11].
Correlations of the various fatty acid percentages with phase angle and MMPs were estimated using regression analysis.
The MMPs differ both in their substrate specificity and in their mechanisms of activation.
Mediators known to activate ECs include inflammatory cytokines, growth factors such as VEGF/VPF and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen and fibronectin, and proteases such as MMPs [ 1 2 ] . In vitro and in vivo assays indicate that VEGF signaling promotes increased permeability, cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, functioning through two EC-specific tyrosine kinase receptor such as Kinase domain receptor (KDR) [ 1 2 3 ] . In the majority of solid tumors, VEGF is upregulated in response to hypoxia, inducing the expression of pro-angiogenic genes that promote tumor angiogenesis, growth and eventual metastasis [ 3 4 5 ] . The expression of both positive and negative factors must be tightly and specifically regulated in a coordinated manner.
To further investigate whether MMPs are involved in the cCAF induced high levels of FN will require evaluation of matrix-degrading enzymes specific for chickens and is an ongoing project in our laboratory as we obtain/develop probes for theses MMPs.
