Sentence |
denotes |
Metalloproteinase-9 mRNA expression in monocytes from patients with chronic renal failure. |
| TextSentencer_T2 |
91-179 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Long-term dialysis patients suffer from various complications including atherosclerosis. |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
180-331 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It has been suggested that metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to vascular remodeling during the development and progression of human atherosclerosis. |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
332-397 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Activated human monocytes have been demonstrated to secrete MMPs. |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
398-636 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In the present study, we measured levels of MMP mRNA in peripheral blood monocytes obtained from patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or hemodialysis (HD) and chronic-renal-failure patients not undergoing dialysis. |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
637-812 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Twenty patients with chronic renal failure were not undergoing dialysis, 20 patients were on CAPD, 40 patients were on chronic HD and 20 healthy volunteers served as controls. |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
813-919 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We used cDNA probes encoding for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9 and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase. |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
920-1096 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Higher levels of MMP-9 mRNA in the peripheral blood monocytes were observed in HD patients than in CAPD patients, undialyzed chronic renal failure patients or healthy controls. |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
1097-1192 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MMP-9 mRNA levels at the end of HD were not significantly higher than those at the start of HD. |
| TextSentencer_T10 |
1193-1272 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MMP-9 mRNA levels from HD patients did not differ among the types of membranes. |
| TextSentencer_T11 |
1273-1365 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We could detect minimal MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-3 mRNA expression in monocytes from all groups. |
| TextSentencer_T12 |
1366-1484 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Serum gelatinase activity was detectable in all samples; however, no significant differences existed among the groups. |
| TextSentencer_T13 |
1485-1702 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In summary, MMP-9 mRNA expression is enhanced in monocytes from HD and CAPD patients, and the enhancement may be, in part, associated with cardiovascular complications, including atherosclerosis, in dialysis patients. |
| TextSentencer_T14 |
1703-1799 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This increase in monocyte MMP-9 mRNA levels is lower in CAPD patients that it is in HD patients. |
