Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Angiogenesis and Cancer.

TL;DR: This review analyzes recent knowledge on MMPs and their participation in angiogenesis through the modulation of the balance between pro- and anti-angiogenic factors and concludes that Matrix metalloproteinases participate in the disruption, tumor neovascularization, and subsequent metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel cysteine proteinase (CP65) of Trichomonas vaginalis involved in cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: Results presented in this work demonstrate that the CP65 is a surface cysteine proteinase involved in T. vaginalis cytotoxicity to HeLa cell monolayers, as a virulence factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative iron regulation of the CP65 cysteine proteinase cytotoxicity in Trichomonas vaginalis

TL;DR: It is shown that iron specifically down-regulates proteolytic activity, expression, and transcription of CP65, negatively affecting trichomonal cytotoxicity in vitro.
