Surgery, 122(1), 39-44 (1997-07-01)
Infusion of the abdominal aorta with pancreatic elastase induces aneurysms in a rat model (Anidjar/Dobrin). Because elastolysis liberates elastin degradation products (EDPs), the present experiment was carried out to test the hypothesis that an EDP alone could induce features of
Biopolymers, 76(3), 266-280 (2004-05-19)
Elastic fibers are an important component of the extracellular matrix, providing elasticity and resilience to tissues that require the ability to deform repetitively and reversibly. Among the elastin-derived peptides, the Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly (VGVAPG) hexapeptide is known for its chemotactic activity and
Biochimie, 88(12), 1915-1921 (2006-09-02)
In normal and pathological tissues, polymorphonuclear leukocyte proteases (elastase, cathepsin G and proteinase 3) may generate soluble peptides through limited proteolysis of elastin, the main component of mature elastic fibres. Elastin-derived peptides display diverse biological activities including cell migration, differentiation
Cancer metastasis reviews, 11(1), 55-68 (1992-03-01)
Amoeboid movement, and in some cases, amoeboid chemotaxis, is a key step in tumor metastasis. The high degree of conservation in signal transduction pathways and motile machinery in eukaryotic cells suggests that insights and molecular probes developed from the study
Journal of peptide science : an official publication of the European Peptide Society, 10(7), 427-438 (2004-08-10)
Elastin is one of the most significant components of the extracellular matrix, which supports the stretchiness of the blood vessels via its helical structure and cross-links. Enzymatic decomposition of this protein could induce chemotactic responses of cell populations in the
