Article Abstract
The matrix metallopeptidase family (matrix metallopeptidase, MMPs) is a class of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that can degrade most extracellular matrices. MT1-MMP (membrane type 1 metalloprotease) is an important metallopeptidase, which is located on plasma membrane and highly expressed in most tumors. MT1-MMP promotes cancer metastasis through affecting the extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. However, the mechanisms of MT1-MMP in different tumors have not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize the latest progress and the metastasis-promoting regulatory mechanisms of MT1-MMP in different tumors, which will provide references for its in-depth research and application in the field of cancer biology.

Background: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is a significant clinical syndrome and neuroinflammation is an important pathological process. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) as a Zn2+-dependent matrix enzyme, not only maintains the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and synaptic plasticity, but also plays a key regulatory factor in peripheral and central nervous inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of MMP9-mediated microglial polarization on surgery-induced neuroinflammation in aged rats and to provide novel targets for prevention and treatment of PND.

Background/aims: Ubiquitin D (UBD), a member of the ubiquitin-like modifier (UBL) family, is significantly overexpressed in various cancers and is positively correlated with tumor progression. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of UBD in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UBD knockdown on the progression of RA.

Human toxocariasis presents in several forms, including visceral larva migrans, ocular larva migrans, covert toxocariasis, and neurotoxocariasis. Although several studies suggest a potential link between toxocariasis and epilepsy, this link is still debated. Additional mechanistic and experimental studies in animal models are essential for a better understanding of this association.

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide, despite treatment advances. The most common form is squamous cell cervical carcinoma, primarily associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16. Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a natural flavonoid with promising anticancer properties both in vitro and in vivo.

Heart ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) significantly contributes to cardiac damage through oxidative and nitrosative stress, where the dysregulation of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and the subsequent activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are observed. Klotho is a multifunctional protein crucial in ageing, metabolism, and ion homeostasis. It has been confirmed that Klotho serves as a critical protective factor across multiple biological systems, with its roles in neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, and renal function being particularly noteworthy.
