The role of matrix metalloproteinases in the oral environment

Abstract: This review focuses specifically on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their role in physiological and pathological extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and degradation processes in the oral environment. A group of enzymes capable of degrading almost all ECM proteins, MMPs contribute to both normal and pathological tissue remodeling. The expression of different MMPs may be upregulated in pathological conditions such as inflammation and tumor invasion. The balance between activated MMPs and tissue inhibitors… Show more

“…The gels were stained with Coomassie Blue G-250 (0.5%), scanned using the Imagemaster scanner (GE Healthcare ® , Uppsala, Sweden) followed by Kodak Molecular Imaging Software (Kodak Co., Rochester, NY, USA) for analysis. The results show the mean of 3 independent gels, as reported by Hannas et al (14).…”

“…Although the physiological roles of MMPs in dentin are not well understood, they have been suggested to participate in peritubular and tertiary dentin formation and in the release of dentinal growth factors Hannas et al 2007;Charadram et al 2012). Unlike bone, mineralized dentin does not undergo significant restructuring; nevertheless, predentin and nonmineralized dentin inside the dentinal tubules seem to be modified in response to the functional demands.…”

“…They are usually expressed as inactive zymogens, and the prodomain must be dissociated from the catalytic one for its activation (Hannas et al 2007). In nonactivated MMPs, the unpaired cysteine in the prodomain forms a bridge with the catalytic zinc (referred to as the "cysteine switch" mechanism), preventing enzymatic activity and acting as a ligand for the catalytic zinc atom in the active site, excluding water molecules and rendering the enzyme inactive (Tjäderhane et al 2013a).…”

“…Two recent reviews summarized the role of MMPs in the oral environment and especially in the pathogenesis of dental caries 7,8 . Thus, host-derived MMPs localized in saliva and dentin could be responsible for the matrix degradation in dentinal caries lesions.…”
