additional information | knockdown of MMP-7 by siRNA attenuates hypertension, inhibits ADAM-12 overexpression, and prevents cardiac hypertrophy. Resistance to acute hypertension in mice lacking active MMP-7 | Mus musculus |
additional information | MMP-7 gene knockout or knockdown of MMP-7 by RNA interference, results in attenuation of hypertension and stops development of cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats, and in decreased levels of myocardial ADAM-12 mRNA | Rattus norvegicus |

additional information | MMP-7 expression regulation, high expression of ADAM-12 observed under sustained agonist stimulation acts in a negative feedback loop to inhibit MMP-7 transcription, overview | Mus musculus |
additional information | MMP-7 expression regulation, high expression of ADAM-12 observed under sustained agonist stimulation acts in a negative feedback loop to inhibit MMP-7 transcription, overview | Rattus norvegicus |
physiological function | MMP-7 controls the transcription of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase-12, ADAM-12, the major metalloproteinase implicated in cardiac hypertrophy. Matrix metalloproteinase-7 and ADAM-12 form a novel signaling axis in a variety of cardiovascular processes, including hypertension and hypertrophy, overview. Induction of acute hypertension by vasoconstrictors, i.e. catecholamines, angiotensin II, and the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, require the posttranscriptional activation of vascular MMP-7. Sustained agonist stimulation regulates the development and progression of hypertension and hypertrophy processes through posttranscriptional, short-term and transcriptional , ong-term mechanisms involving metalloproteinases such as MMP-7 and ADAM-12 | Rattus norvegicus |
