“…Studies have demonstrated that over-expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α promotes a cascade of cytokines, chemokines, adhesion, and pro-angiogenic activities in many chronic inflammatory diseases (Coussens and Werb, 2002;Dinarello, 2005;Scheller et al, 2006). There is a significant inflammatory status during Chagas' disease, and cytokines are liberated during this inflammation period, demonstrating a positive correlation between MMP-9 production and the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α (Fares et al, 2013). Furthermore, it was demonstrated that TNF-α levels are significantly higher in Chagas' disease patients when compared to normal controls.…”

“…Increased expression of MMP2/MMP9 and cathepsin B in chagasic hearts had been noted (26) and implicated in ECM degradation, gradual slippage of ventricular layers, and formation of an apical aneurysm in the heart, a hallmark of disease (27,28). Macrophages incubated with sera from chronically infected mice exhibited a 3-fold increase in MMP2/MMP9 activity compared to that in normal controls (Fig.…”

“…Установлено, что концентрация ММП-9 значимо выше у пациентов с кардиомиопатией, развившейся вследствие болезни Шагаса, так же, как и при воспа-лительном поражении суставов, что может указывать на ее провоспалительные свойства [27]. Интересен тот факт, что между уровнем MMП-9 и частотой отторжения аллотрансплантата сердца существует непосредственная связь.…”
