Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an important mediator of invasion and metastasis in neoplasia. In thyroid cancer expression levels correlate with aggressiveness but data on peripheral MMP-9 levels are less definitive. OBJECTIVE Prospective study evaluating serum MMP-9 in the diagnosis and prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer. METHODS Serum samples of MMP-9 were drawn before surgery in 185 consecutively enrolled patients with nodular thyroid disease, stratified on pathology as benign disease (N= 88) and papillary thyroid cancer (N= 97). Serum MMP-9 was measured by an immunometric assay. RESULTS MMP-9 levels were not different between benign vs malignant pathology (p= 0.3). In papillary thyroid cancer there was no significant difference in MMP-9 levels between histologies, TNM stage and invasive/non-invasive cancers. High-risk patients with multiple features of aggressiveness had significantly higher MMP-9 levels compared to low-intermediate risk patients (767.5 ± 269.2 ng/ml vs 563.7 ± 228.4 ng/ml, p= 0.019). A cut-off of 806 ng/ml distinguished high from low-intermediate risk patients with a sensitivity of 60% and a specificity of 87.36%, p= 0.018. In patients with available follow-up data (N= 78), MMP-9 was higher in patients who required ⩾ 2 doses of 131I therapy (p= 0.009) and in those with biochemical evidence of persistent disease/who required additional therapy to achieve disease-free status (p= 0.017). CONCLUSION Serum MMP-9 is not useful in the diagnosis of PTC, but preliminary data shows that high pre-surgical serum MMP-9 levels may identify patients at higher risk of persistent disease who require intensive treatment. Large volume prospective studies are required to confirm this observation.

The multifaceted role of metalloproteinases in physiological and pathological conditions in embryonic and adult brains. Prog Neurobiol 2016; 155:36-56.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of ubiquitous extracellular endopeptidases, which play important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions, from the embryonic stages throughout adult life. Their extraordinary physiological "success" is due to concomitant broad substrate specificities and strict regulation of their expression, activation and inhibition levels. In recent years, MMPs have gained increasing attention as significant effectors in various aspects of central nervous system (CNS) physiology. Most importantly, they have been recognized as main players in a variety of brain disorders having different etiologies and evolution. A common aspect of these pathologies is the development of acute or chronic neuroinflammation. MMPs play an integral part in determining the result of neuroinflammation, in some cases turning its beneficial outcome into a harmful one. This review summarizes the most relevant studies concerning the physiology of MMPs, highlighting their involvement in both the developing and mature CNS, in long-lasting and acute brain diseases and, finally, in nervous system repair. Recently, a concerted effort has been made in identifying therapeutic strategies for major brain diseases by targeting MMP activities. However, from this revision of the literature appears clear that MMPs have multifaceted functional characteristics, which modulate physiological processes in multiple ways and with multiple consequences. Therefore, when choosing MMPs as possible targets, great care must be taken to evaluate the delicate balance between their activation and inhibition and to determine at which stage of the disease and at what level they become active in order maximize chances of success.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are an important class of endopeptidases, having a role in a diverse range of physiological and pathological processes. This chapter provides an overview of the key regulatory processes in MMP production and activation. The common techniques used to assess MMP activity are discussed and their various strengths and weaknesses presented. This comparison of methodologies is specifically intended to aid any investigator who wishes to determine the most appropriate analytical method for their future studies because any investigation of MMPs in biological samples should be cognizant of the key mechanisms influencing the expression and activity of these proteinases. The endogenous, preanalytic and analytic chemistry of MMP activation influences the interpretation of the various techniques widely employed throughout the literature. Therefore, the ability to accurately evaluate the true endogenous activity of MMPs is heavily dependent on a clear understanding of these processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The determination of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) is relevant in many pathophysiological conditions, especially if associated with extracellular matrix remodeling; however, the results obtained are closely linked to the method used and are not directly comparable. The aim of this study was to perform a reappraisal of quantitative gel zymography technique for MMPs in human plasma, to use for comparison with commercially available ELISA and in those experimental conditions where the MMP active form needs to be revealed. METHODS The critical methodological parameters of zymography were checked and a comparison with a routinely used ELISA was performed. RESULTS Sensitivity and reproducibility levels of zymography are suitable for detection of MMP-9 in human plasma, providing results closely related to those obtained by ELISA. CONCLUSIONS Analytical parameters of zymography were suitable for detection of MMPs in human plasma. Quantitative zymography for MMPs is an alternative method for comparing the results of ELISA widely employed for MMP determination, thus reducing the discrepancies between laboratories regarding gelatinase assay.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases (such as multiple sclerosis) as well as in the expansion of malignant gliomas because they facilitate penetration of anatomical barriers (such as the glia limitans) and migration within the neuropil. This review elucidates pathomechanisms and summarizes the current knowledge of the involvement of MMPs in neuroinflammation and glioma, invasion highlighting microglia as major sources of MMPs. The induction of expression, suppression, and multiple pathways of function of MMPs in these scenarios will also be discussed. Understanding the induction and action of MMPs might provide valuable information and reveal attractive targets for future therapeutic strategies.

A graphene oxide-based FRET sensor for rapid and sensitive detection of matrix metalloproteinase 2 in human serum sample. Biosens Bioelectron 2013; 47:445-50.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has been widely used to develop fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensors for tumor markers (e.g., matrix metalloproteinases, MMPs) due to its superior fluorescence quenching capacity and unique adsorption characteristics for biomolecules. In this study, fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled peptide (Pep-FITC) was assembled onto the GO surface through covalent binding to construct a GO-Pep-FITC FRET sensor for sensitive, rapid, and accurate detection of MMP-2 in complex serum samples. Compared to similar GO-based FRET sensors fabricated through physical adsorption, the as prepared ones via covalent binding are significantly more stable under physiological conditions, enabling their detection of MMP-2 with high sensitivity (detection limit: 2.5ng/mL). More importantly, it allows for rapid MMP-2 detection (within 3h) even in complex biological samples with satisfactory accuracy and the relative standard deviation ≤7.03%. Our studies further suggest that such a platform developed here for sensitive, rapid, and accurate detection of biomarkers holds great promise for clinical diagnosis of protease-related diseases.

Abstract
Human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to the M10 family of the MA clan of endopeptidases. They are ubiquitarian enzymes, structurally characterized by an active site where a Zn(2+) atom, coordinated by three histidines, plays the catalytic role, assisted by a glutamic acid as a general base. Various MMPs display different domain composition, which is very important for macromolecular substrates recognition. Substrate specificity is very different among MMPs, being often associated to their cellular compartmentalization and/or cellular type where they are expressed. An extensive review of the different MMPs structural and functional features is integrated with their pathological role in several types of diseases, spanning from cancer to cardiovascular diseases and to neurodegeneration. It emerges a very complex and crucial role played by these enzymes in many physiological and pathological processes.
