(2011)Background and Aim. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a component of extracellular matrix and may play a role in the pleural inflammation which is implicated in parapneumonic effusions.The aim of the current study was to investigate ... -
Matrix Metalloproteinases in Respiratory Diseases: From Pathogenesis to Potential Clinical Implications
(2009)Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-endopeptidases responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components including basement membrane collagen, interstitial collagen, fibronectin, and various ... -
ROS-major mediators of extracellular matrix remodeling during tumor progression
(2013)Extracellular matrices (ECMs) represent a complex network of proteins, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), composed of independent structural domains, ultimately constituting the cell microenvironment. As a highly ... -
Thrombospondin-1 expression in breast cancer: prognostic significance and association with p53 alterations, tumour angiogenesis and extracellular matrix components
(2012)Thrombospondin (TSP-1) is a 450-kd adhesive glycoprotein that was initially discovered in platelets and subsequently in a variety of cell types. Several reports suggest that TSP-1 possesses tumour suppressor function, ...
