1 Melatonin protects blood-brain barrier integrity and permeability by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-9 via the NOTCH3/NF-kappaB pathway. Melatonin matrix metallopeptidase 9 Homo sapiens
2 Melatonin also downregulated MMP-9 and upregulated tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) gene expression, which decreased the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio. Melatonin matrix metallopeptidase 9 Homo sapiens
3 Melatonin also downregulated MMP-9 and upregulated tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) gene expression, which decreased the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio. Melatonin matrix metallopeptidase 9 Homo sapiens
4 Our results suggest that melatonin reduced MMP-9-induced permeability of the BBB. Melatonin matrix metallopeptidase 9 Homo sapiens
5 Melatonin reduced MMP-9 expression and activity, which was induced by IL-1beta through the regulation of the NOTCH3/NF-kappaB signaling pathway in pericytes, suggesting that pericytes regulate BBB integrity and function. Melatonin matrix metallopeptidase 9 Homo sapiens
