Article Abstract

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) plays a key role in tissue degradation in periodontitis. The relationship between the MMP3 -1171 5A/6A polymorphism (rs35068180) and periodontitis has been widely studied. However, existing studies have yielded contradictory results. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to comprehensively investigate these inconclusive findings. Several electronic databases were searched for eligible articles. Seven case-control studies from 6 articles were searched without any language restrictions. Pooled estimates indicated that MMP3 -1171 5A/6A polymorphism is associated with a decreased risk of periodontitis (allelic genetic model: OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.62-0.80, P(heterogeneity) = 0.315; heterozygous model: OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.39-0.65, P(heterogeneity) = 0.221; homozygous model: OR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.25-0.69, P(heterogeneity) = 0.265; dominant model: OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.38-0.62, P(heterogeneity) = 0.238, respectively). Similar results were also found in chronic periodontitis (CP), Asian, Asian&CP, and non-smokers subgroups. Moreover, MMP3 rs35068180 polymorphism might be associated with a lower risk of aggressive periodontitis (AgP) in Asians (allelic genetic model: OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.48-0.91, P(heterogeneity) = 0.945), and CP in Caucasians and Brazilians. In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrates that MMP3 -1171 5A/6A polymorphism may be associated with decreased risk of both CP and AgP in Asians. Large independent studies to replicate these results are necessary to validate these associations in other populations.

Ovarian carcinoma (OC) is one of the foremost factors in female carcinoma-related fatalities worldwide. Matrix metalloproteinases () are key mediators of tissue remodeling and are linked to tumor aggressiveness, yet there is still a lack of information on the link between genetic changes in and the onset and progression of OC in Egyptian women. This study examines the effects of immunoreactive biomolecule variations of , as well as the and genetic variants, on OC risk and progression in Egyptian women.

Background: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) 1171 5A/6A gene polymorphism and susceptibility to Chronic Periodontitis (CP).

Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) without any time or language limitations. The selection criteria included case-control studies examining the association between the MMP-3 gene polymorphism and CP.

Objectives: Peri-implantitis (PI) is the most common biological issue surrounding dental implants. According to current knowledge, the aforementioned complication is not equally distributed across different populations, and gene polymorphisms might be one contributing factor. The current study aimed to examine the association between gene polymorphisms of matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 1, -2, -3, -7, and -13 with PI in an Iranian demographic.

Article Synopsis
  • Schistosomiasis mansoni (SM) leads to periportal fibrosis (PPF) due to inflammation from parasite eggs, resulting in collagen and matrix protein buildup in the liver.
  • The study involved 242 individuals infected with S. mansoni in Pernambuco, Brazil, assessing the link between MMP-3 gene polymorphism (-1171 5A>6A) and PPF, alongside various sociodemographic factors.
  • Findings revealed no significant link between MMP-3 polymorphism and PPF; however, male gender and age over 41 were identified as predictors for the hepatosplenic form of the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the link between specific matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene polymorphisms and chronic periodontitis (CP) in an Iranian population by comparing 87 CP patients with 89 healthy individuals.
  • Results show that variations in the MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-7 genes are significantly associated with CP risk, while MMP-2 and MMP-13 do not show a significant effect.
  • Findings suggest that certain gene variants could influence the likelihood of developing CP, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in clinical periodontal treatment strategies.
