Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

Molecular mechanisms of MMP9 overexpression and its role in emphysema pathogenesis of Smad3-deficient mice.

Xu B, Chen H, Xu W, Zhang W, Buckley S, Zheng SG, Warburton D, Kolb MR, Gauldie J, Shi W

Previous studies have found that inappropriate elevation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) expression and activity is coincident with early onset of emphysema in Smad3-null mice. Herein, we further investigated the role of increased MMP9 in emphysema pathogenesis and the related molecular regulatory mechanisms of elevated MMP9 in Smad3-null lung. Genetic blockade of MMP9 in Smad3-null mice significantly attenuated emphysema pathology, but ... [more]
