Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-
MMP) is a collagenolytic enzyme involved in connective tissue remodeling. In
periodontal tissues, either cytokines or growth factors regulate the production of
proteolytic enzymes. Mice deficient in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
show a reduced expression of MT1-MMP, suggesting that this receptor may play
an important role in MT1-MMP production. The present study evaluated the role
of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and EGFR in the
production of MT1-MMP in gingival fibroblasts.
