MMP inhibitors （MMPIs） may therefore be useful as therapeutic agents in treating a number of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and arthritis. Attempts have been made to develop MMPIs. Recombinant MMPs have been used to screening MMPs in vitro assays. In this work, we report the expression of MMP-16 in E. coli and the characterization of the recombinant MMP-16 with a commonly used MMP substrate DQ-gelatin.展开更多

In this study, melanoma metastatic model was developed by tail vein injection of B16 F-10 cells in to C57 BL/6 mice. Metastatic mice treated with two different doses of crocin（250 and 500 μg/kg of bodyweight） for 10 days and parameters such as lung metastasis inhibition, mean survival time, lung hydroxyproline, uronic acid and hexosamine levels were analyzed after 21 days of treatment. Then blood was collected and serum gamma glutamyl transpeptidase（γ-GGT）, sialic acid,tumor necrosis factor alpha（TNF-a）, interleukin 10（IL-10）, IL-6, IL-2, and TIMP-1 levels were measured. Further, a lung histological examination was done in crocin treated metastatic mice. Subsequently hallmark metastatic parameters such as matrix metalloproteinases（MMPs）, extracellular regulated kinase 2（ERK2）, vascular endothelial growth factor（VEGF）, and K-ras gene expression were investigated in the lungs of crocin treated metastatic mice.Further, in-vitro adhesion, invasion and migration of B16 F-10 cells were examined after 24 hours of crocin（5 and 10μg/mL） treatment. Administration of crocin to tumor bearing C57 BL/6 mice reduced the lung metastasis by 85%.Elevated levels of hydroxyproline, uronic acid, hexosamine, serum sialic acid and y-GGT in metastatic control were found to be significantly reduced in crocin treated mice. Crocin also inhibited expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, ERK-2,K-ras, and VEGF. Crocin reduced the ability of B16 F-10 cells invasion（P〈0.05）, migration（P〈0.05） and adhesion by upregulating E-cadherin expression. In conclusion, crocin elicited marked anti-metastatic potential by regulating the metastasis induced biomarkers.展开更多

The six elements that shut down those programs are: muc-1, muc-4, muc-16, Bcl-2, MMPs and decoy R3. The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-Kb) stimulates the expression of genes responsible for the production of those elements, which are used by cells to block those two programs. In other words, the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-KB) is responsible for blocking both programs. Therefore, the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-Kb) is the true cause of cancer.展开更多
