Intracellular regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity: the roles of caveolin-1 and troponin I phosphorylation
DownloadFall 2010
Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) was recently revealed to have targets and actions within the cardiac myocyte. In ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, MMP‐2 is activated and degrades troponin I (TnI) and α‐actinin. The regulation of intracellular MMP‐2 activity is relatively unknown and is thus...

Angiotensin II signals cardiovascular disease through metalloproteinases including MMP-2, MMP-7 and ADAM-17/TACE. We hypothesized that these metalloproteinases regulate each other at the transcriptional level. Further, MMP-2, being a major gelatinase in cardiac and vascular tissue, could mediate...

Regulation of collagen type I production by ionizing radiation and transforming growth factor-β1 in primary human skin fibroblasts derived from early stage breast cancer patients in relation to acute radiation-induced toxicity
DownloadFall 2011
Regulation of collagen type I (CI) in fibroblasts is critical for the onset and development of skin toxicities induced by radiation therapy (RT). Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promote CI synthesis, while its degradation is modulated by...
