human MMP12 protein

04/01/1999 - "To investigate the role of human macrophage metalloelastase in skin, we assessed by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry 66 specimens representing skin diseases characterized either by changes in elastic fibers or by pronounced infiltrations of extravasating and migrating macrophages. "
04/01/1999 - "Our study suggests that human macrophage metalloelastase may contribute to elastin degradation occurring in granulomatous skin diseases and may aid macrophage migration through the epidermal and vascular basement membranes in inflammatory disorders."
04/01/1999 - "We found abundant expression of human macrophage metalloelastase mRNA in macrophages in areas devoid of normal elastic fibers in granulomatous skin diseases sarcoidosis, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, and granuloma annulare. "

06/01/2000 - "In basal cell carcinomas, human macrophage metalloelastase was more often found in macrophages (seven of 19) than in cancer cells (four of 19). "
06/01/2000 - "Human macrophage metalloelastase was detected in 11 of 17 squamous cell carcinomas in epithelial cancer cells, whereas macrophages were positive in 15 of 17 samples. "

01/01/2002 - "Human macrophage metalloelastase is referred to as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-12), its function in tumors is contradictory. "
01/01/2007 - "To evaluate the association between the expression of human macrophage metalloelastase (matrix metalloproteinase-12, MMP-12) with cancer invasion and differentiation of endometrial adenocarcinoma, specimens from endometrial adenocarcinoma (n=61) of diverse stages and histologic types were collected from patients having undergone hysterectomy, and specimens from normal endometrium (n=38) were obtained from patients with benign diseases.
