In the present study, we investigated whether the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) are involved in the induction of MMP-9 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated primary astrocytes. The expression of MMP-9 but not MMP-2 was increased by LPS.
## Abstract Ochnaflavone (c‐3 of apigenin‐0‐c‐4 of apigenin; OC), a biflavonoid present in the human diet, is known to inhibit angiotensin II‐induced hypertrophy and serum‐induced smooth muscle cell proliferation. OC is known to have anti‐fungal and anti‐inflammatory activities. However, it is not
## Abstract Caffeine attenuated invasion of human leukemia U937 cells with characteristic of decreased protein expression and mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) and MMP‐9. Down‐regulation of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 in U937 cells was abrogated by abolishment of caffeine‐elicited increase in i
## Abstract One of the most frequent events in carcinogenesis is uncontrolled activation of Ras signaling pathway. A previous study demonstrated that the introduction of H‐Ras into the normal WB‐F344 rat liver epithelial (WB) cell line and adult male F344 rats resulted in tumorigenicity. The presen
## Abstract MicroRNA 520c and 373 (miR‐520c and miR‐373) have been characterized as oncogenes and play critical roles in cancer cell metastasis. However, the relationship between these two microRNAs and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are important in cancer cell metastasis, remains unknown
