Role of matrix metalloproteinases in the development of airway inflammation and remodeling

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a major group of proteases known to regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and

“…However, this decrease must not be attributed to a direct effect of siMMP12 on MMP-2 mRNA. MMP-12 has the capacity to activate pro-MMP-2, as described before, and MMP-2 is also involved in fibrosis [149] and particularly in pulmonary fibrosis even if its role remains unclear [31] but nothing is currently known about the influence of MMP-12 on MMP-2 transcription.…”

“…Through degeneration of extracellular matrix proteins, MMPs are implicated in the development of tissue fibrosis, damage, and inflammation (Chakrabarti & Patel, 2005;Corbel et al, 2002;Lagente et al, 2005). MMP9 appears to serve as a key target for SM.…”

“…To understand the biology of MMPs in a variety of relevant human pathological conditions such as allergic inflammation, tissue injury and repair, remodeling, and host defense against pathogens. 3,4,5 At least eight of the known human MMP genes (MMP-1, -3, -7, -8, -10, -12, -13 and -20) are clustered on chromosome 11 at 11q21-23. Other MMP genes are scattered among chromosomes 1, 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 22.…”
