Matrix metalloproteinases play an important regulatory role in tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation and motility, and tumor cell invasiveness. We have recently demonstrated elevated activity of the 92 kDa type IV collagenase (MMP-9) in human glioblastoma and in the present study examine the re

The 72 kDa type IV collagenase (gelatinase), a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2), has been proposed to potentiate the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. To determine the potential role of the MMP-2 in human gliomas and normal brain tissue, we examined the relative amounts of protein, mRNA,
## Abstract Radiationβinduced damage in the central nervous system (CNS) is believed to be targeted to glial or endothelial cells or both, although the pathophysiology of the process is still poorly understood. In this study, we irradiated rat astrocytes with single doses of Xβrays and then estimat
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human type-IV collagenase were developed and used for studies on enzyme activity and tumor-cell invasion in vitro. Fifteen MAb clones were generated against the enzyme purified from serum-free culture medium of human melanoma cells (A2058). Five clones affecting
We have previously observed that acellular extracts from necrotic areas (NE) of the non-metastatic murine mammary adenocarcinoma M3, enhance in vitro cell detachment and spontaneous lung metastases. In the present study, using different proteinase inhibitors along with NE, only the calcium chelator
We have reported high expression of CD44H in human glioma cells. To investigate the role of CD44H in the invasion of human glioma, we established a CD44-anti-sense-gene-expression glioma cell line named U-251AI. The expression of CD44H in the G-4 18-selected U-25 I A l cells was reduced to 2096 of t
