Abstract
Fibrosis leads to structural damage and functional decline and is characterized by an accumulation of fibrous connective tissue and a reduction in parenchymal cells. Because of its extremely poor prognosis, organ fibrosis poses a significant economic burden. In order to prevent and treat fibrosis more effectively, potential mechanisms need to be investigated. A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) is a membrane-bound protein. It regulates intracellular signaling and membrane protein degradation. Fibrosis mediated by ADAM17 has been identified as an important contributor, although the specific relationship between its multiple regulatory functions and the pathogenesis is unclear. This article describes ADAM17 activation, function, and regulation, as well as the role of ADAM17 mediated fibrosis injury in kidney, liver, heart, lung, skin, endometrium, and retina. To develop new therapeutic approaches based on ADAM17 related signal pathways.
期刊介绍：
Mediators of Inflammation is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes original research and review articles on all types of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, histamine, bradykinin, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, PAF, biological response modifiers and the family of cell adhesion-promoting molecules.
