Objective: To investigate the expressions of CD147 and MMP-2 in human gliomas and to study the relationship between their expression and prognosis.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry SP methods were applied to detect the expression of CD147 and MMP-2 in 50 cases of gliomas and RT-PCR also applied to analyze the expression level of CD147 mRNA. The relationship between the expression level and the glioma prognosis were analyzed statistically depends on the follow-up investigation of the disease development.
Results: The positive rates of CD147 and MMP-2 in human gliomas were 72. 0% and 78. 0%, and coexpression of CD147 and MMP-2 in gliomas was 70. 0%. CD147 protein was positively correlated with the expression of MMP-2 protein (r =0. 737, P<0. 01). CD147 mRNA expression was also detected in low and high grade gliomas by RT-PCR, but their expression levels were obviously enhanced in high grade gliomas. There was a significant difference in each grade gliomas. The higher expression of CD147, the shorter survival time of the patients. The variations were significant statistically.
Conclusion: There was positive correlation between the expressions of CD147, MMP-2 in human gliomas and the degree of malignancy and prognosis. CD147 and MMP-2 may be a prognostic factor of human gliomas and targets for chemotherapeutical strategies.

Atherosclerosis (AS), as the main pathophysiological basis of coronary heart disease, can develop into carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) through intimal inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis and calcification. However, there are few reports on the clinical drug selection of CAP. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of atorvastatin and ezetimibe on CD147, HIF-1, MMP-2 and VEGF in CAP under the guidance of IVUS, so as to provide basis for CAP of the best drug.

Estrogen signaling has been extensively studied, especially in cancers that express estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). However, little is known regarding the effect of estrogen on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Here, we explored the role of estrogen signaling of CAFs in gastric cancer (GC) progression.

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) both play important roles in the development of kidney fibrosis, and CD147 can induce the production and activation of MMP-2. In the early stage of kidney fibrosis, MMP-2 promotes extracellular matrix (ECM) production and accelerates the development of kidney fibrosis, while in the advanced stage, MMP-2 activity decreases, leading to reduced ECM degradation and making it difficult to alleviate kidney fibrosis. The reason for the decrease in MMP-2 activity in the advanced stage is still unclear.
