A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-7 (ADAMTS-7) belongs to the family of metalloproteinases that contributes to tissue homeostasis during morphogenesis and reproduction. These metalloproteinases regulate various cell functions such as cell proliferation, are important regulators in tissue regeneration, and play a role in vascular remodelling, which is involved in atherosclerosis development. Despite the well-established association between ADAMTS-7 and atherosclerotic disease, data regarding the metalloproteinase's association with LV function remain scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of ADAMTS-7 levels with diastolic dysfunction and various echocardiographic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. All patients underwent a clinical, vascular, and echocardiographic examination during their visit. Plasma ADAMTS-7 levels were measured in all patients. The results showed that diastolic dysfunction was strongly associated with age, but had no statistically significant association with ADAMTS-7. When individual echocardiographic parameters were examined, ADAMTS-7 levels showed a positive tendency only with deceleration time (DT), with the other echocardiographic parameters being positively associated only with age. The possible role of ADAMTS-7 in diastolic dysfunction and in the development and progression of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus deserves further investigation.

Background: The locus was genome-wide significantly associated with coronary artery disease. Lack of the ECM (extracellular matrix) protease ADAMTS-7 (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase-7) was shown to reduce atherosclerotic plaque formation. Here, we sought to identify molecular mechanisms and downstream targets of ADAMTS-7 mediating the risk of atherosclerosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on osteoarthritis in rats and explore the possible mechanism.
Methods: Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into osteoarthritis model group, electro-acupuncture group and control group (=10), and in the former two groups, early osteoarthritis was induced using a modified DMM surgical modeling method. After successful modeling, the rats in the electro-acupuncture group were treated with electro-acupuncture at bilateral "Housanli" and "Anterior knee point".

Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease with severe extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling that lacks efficient early stage diagnosis and nonsurgical therapy. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif 7 (ADAMTS-7) is recognized as a novel locus for human coronary artery atherosclerosis. Previous work by us and others showed that ADAMTS-7 promoted atherosclerosis, postinjury neointima formation, and vascular calcification.

Background: The metalloprotease ADAMTS-7 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 7) is a novel locus associated with human coronary atherosclerosis. ADAMTS-7 deletion protects against atherosclerosis and vascular restenosis in rodents.
Methods: We designed 3 potential vaccines consisting of distinct B cell epitopic peptides derived from ADAMTS-7 and conjugated with the carrier protein KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) as well as aluminum hydroxide as an adjuvant.
