Methods related to mmp26 status as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in cancer management

TL;DR: In this paper, compositions and methods involving identifying MMP-26 in a subject with cancer were described and described. But they did not specify the methods used to identify the cancer type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteolysis-Driven Oncogenesis

TL;DR: Novel findings suggest that MMPs are directly involved in the early stages of cell transformation from normalcy to malignancy and in incipient cancer, and presents a novel concept of a proteolysis-driven oncogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Throughput Multiplexed Peptide-Centric Profiling Illustrates Both Substrate Cleavage Redundancy and Specificity in the MMP Family

TL;DR: This study employed a high-throughput multiplexed peptide-centric profiling technology involving the cleavage of 18,583 peptides by 18 proteinases from the main sub-groups of the MMP family, resulting in a roadmap for the subsequent MMP structural-functional studies and efficient substrate and inhibitor design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical Characterization of the Cellular Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked Membrane Type-6 Matrix Metalloproteinase

TL;DR: Because MT6-MMP has been suggested to play a role in disease, including cancer and autoimmune multiple sclerosis, the identity of its physiologically relevant cleavage targets remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury.

TL;DR: The present study offers the first evidence for the excessive, uninhibited proteolytic MMP-9 activity during late-phase painful peripheral neuropathy and suggests that the pattern of M MP-9 expression, activity, and excretion after peripheral nerve injury is universal in both sexes.
