Mitochondrial redox control of matrix metalloproteinases.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are constantly generated in aerobic organisms during normal metabolism and in response to both internal and external stimuli. Imbalances in the production and removal of ROS have been hypothesized to play a causative role in numerous disease pathologies such as cancer, ischemia/reperfusion injury, and degenerative diseases such as photoaging, atherosclerosis, arthritis, and neurodegeneration. A feature often associated with these diseases is a malfunctioning of the connective tissue remodeling process due to increased activity of extracellular matrix-degrading metalloproteinases (MMPs). This review summarizes the evidence that implicates ROS as key regulators of MMP production and the importance of these interactions in disease pathologies.
