Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 and -10 is up-regulated in the periodontal tissues of aged mice.
Article in Journal of periodontal research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe present study was designed to investigate the whole transcriptome of periodontal tissues of both young and aged mice to identify the characteristic up-regulation of protease genes with aging and to localize their translated protein products in the periodontal tissues.
backgroundThe metzincin protease superfamily is composed of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a disintegrin and metalloproteinases, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinases with thrombospondin motifs. Up-regulation of these extracellular matrix-degrading proteases has been implicated in senescence of tissues and organs, including the skin. However, few studies have investigated the expression profiles of these proteases and potential involvement in aging of periodontal tissues.
methodsPeriodontal tissues with the surrounding mandibular bones were collected from 50- and 10-week-old mice. Total RNA was extracted from the periodontal tissue and analyzed by cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) to identify differentially expressed genes encoding the metzincin proteases. Furthermore, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the CAGE results, and the phenotypic expression of proteases involved in aging was localized via immunohistochemical analysis.
resultsThe CAGE results showed that the expression levels of MMP-3, -10, and -12 were up-regulated at 50 weeks. Subsequent qRT-PCR analysis showed that the gene expression levels of MMP-3 and -10 were significantly increased with age. MMP-10 immunoreactivity was localized exclusively in the cementum and alveolar bone adjacent to the periodontal ligament and was stronger and broader in aged mice than young mice. MMP-3 immunoreactivity was localized in the periodontal ligaments at both 10 and 50 weeks.
conclusionIn the present study, we demonstrated that the expression of MMP-3 and -10 increased with aging and identified their characteristic localizations in aged periodontal tissues.
