Physiological matrix metalloproteinase concentrations in serum during childhood and adolescence, using Luminex® Multiplex technology

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc-dependent proteinases which are involved in the breakdown and remodeling of extracellular matrix. As children grow and adolescents reach pubescence, their bodies undergo changes that require age-related morphogenesis of the extracellular matrix, possibly requiring unique patterns of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression during periods of rapid tissue growth (i.e., childhood) or accelerated tissue remodeling and expansion (i.e., adolescence). Therefore, we have… Show more

“…This positive correlation had been asserted in some previous studies, too (Thrailkill, 2005;KomosinskaVassev et al, 2011). It is proposed that increase in MMP-3 serum level with increasing age is the result of hormonal change and physiological process (Thrailkill, 2005). In this study serum MMP-3 concentration was higher in females compared to males.…”

“…TNF-α was assessed using Fluorokine ® MultiAnalyte Profiling (F-MAP) kits from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA) as previously described. 27 Kits were run on a BioPlex® dual laser Bioanalyzer (Luminex Corp., Austin, TX, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The minimal detectable dose of TNF-α was less than 3 pg/ml.…”
