Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from periodontopathic bacteria can initiate alveolar bone loss through the induction of host-derived cytokines. Smoking increases the risk and severity of periodontitis. We examined the effects of nicotine and LPS on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), plasminogen activators (PAs), and their inhibitors, including tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteinases that play a major role in the metabolic degradation of extracellular matrix proteins. In order to examine the expression pattern of different MMP or MMP-inhibitor genes two RNase protection assays (RPAs) were developed that allow the simultaneous and semiquantitative assessment of their respective mRNAs. Probes for the detection of MMPs...
