1. Aortas in Adamts-4-/- mice showed reduced elastic fiber destruction, versican degradation, macrophage infiltration, and apoptosis. Interestingly, Adamts-4 was directly involved in smooth muscle cell (SMC) apoptosis. Study findings indicate that Adamts-4 induces SMC apoptosis, degrades versican, promotes inflammatory cell infiltration, and thus contributes to sporadic aortic aneurysm and dissection development.

2. host-derived ADAMTS4 was expressed at the tumor vessels and was associated with early-stage tumor growth.

3. This study demonstrated that ADAMTS-4 is a new marker of mature oligodendrocytes contributing to the myelination processes and thus to the control of motor capacities.

4. results demonstrate for the first time that ADAMTS4 contributes to diet induced atherosclerosis in ApoE(-/-) mice

5. the reduction of ADAMTS-4 activity during the progression of ALS pathology may be an adaptive change to mitigate its neurodegenerative impact in CNS tissues

6. Results show that ADAMTS15 and ADAMTS4 not only exhibit unique cellular expression patterns in the brain but their developmental upregulation by these cell types coincides with critical aspects of neural development

7. aggrecan and brevican proteolysis is compensated in Adamts4-/- or Adamts5-/- mice by ADAMTS proteoglycanase family members but a threshold of versican proteolysis is sensitive to the loss of a single ADAMTS proteoglycanase during spinal cord injury

8. ADAMTS4 has roles in melanoma growth and angiogenesis in mice

9. The serine protease tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and two matrix metalloproteinases, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, were identified as Reelin cleaving enzymes.

10. ADAMTS-4 cleaves Reelin in an isoform-specific manner. Among ADAMTS-4 isoforms, p50 cleaves the N-t site only, while p75 cleaves both sites.

11. Data demonstrate that Adamts1 and Adamts4 play redundant and essential roles in perinatal kidney development.

12. Drastic down-regulation of Adamts4 observed at both E16 and E18; RT-PCR revealed post-natal reduction in expression (Adamts4, 1/3). Results suggest down-regulation of gene is important factor in normal odontogenesis in dental papillae.

13. proteolysis of hevin by ADAMTS4 in the mouse cerebellum is important for the normal development of this tissue

14. ADAMTS1, ADAMTS4, and ADAMTS5 are expressed in patterns that relate to the expression pattern of versican in granulosa cells of small follicles, expanded cumulus cell-oocyte complexes, and endothelial cells of the ovary.

15. ADAMTS-5 is entirely responsible for cleavage in the interglobular domain, but cleavage in the chondroitin sulfate-rich region may be driven by ADAMTS-4

16. comparison of aggrecan loss with aggrecan processing in mice with single and double deletions of ADAMTS-4 and -5 activity (Deltacat)

17. Deletion of ADAMTS-4/5 provided significant protection against proteoglycan degradation ex vivo and decreased the severity of murine osteoarthritis

18. after stimulation, the protease activity of PC5A is enhanced, as evidenced by the cleavage of the PC5A substrates Lefty, ADAMTS-4, endothelial lipase, and PCSK9.

Human ADAM Metallopeptidase with Thrombospondin Type 1 Motif, 4 (ADAMTS4) interaction partners

1. significantly higher second-trimester amniotic fluid levels in pregnant women with spontaneous preterm birth

2. Since only two of the collected studies referred to ADAMTS4, we did not perform meta-analysis for these comparisons. Taken together, rs226794 and rs2830585 in ADAMTS5 gene were not associated with musculoskeletal degenerative diseases in overall population, but there seemed to be an ethnicity-dependent effect of rs2830585 in the risk of musculoskeletal degenerative diseases

3. High ADAMTS4 expression is associated with osteoarthritic cartilage deterioration.

4. Study showed significant ADAMTS-4 expression in aortic tissues from patients with sporadic ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, particularly in smooth muscle cells.

5. The lower levels of ADAMTS4 in the primary ovarian insufficiency group, when compared with the idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism patients pointed out that even limited hormone secretion and ovulation in the POI group, may have protective effect on cardiovascular system. The higher levels of ADAMTS4 and lipid accumulation in the IHH group demonstrated the increased risk of these patients for cardiovascular disease.

6. ADAMTS 1, 4, 12, and 13 levels in the maternal and cord blood were lower in the preeclampsia group than in the control group. ADAMTS 1, 4, and 12 levels in placental tissues were higher in the preeclampsia group.

7. ADAMTS4 was associated macrophages infiltration and polarization in the tumor microenvironment of CRC and ADAMTS4 knockdown had no inhibitory implications on cell proliferation and invasion in vitro, but significantly attenuated tumor growth in vivo.

8. ADAMTS4 expression was upregulated during carotid atherosclerotic plaque development. Serum levels of ADAMTS4 were associated with increased plaque vulnerability in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with carotid artery stenosis.

9. methylation status of the ADAMTS4 gene is altered in patellar tendinopathy

10. HipHop-based pharmacophore modeling and virtual screening of the Maybridge database to identify novel ADAMTS-4 inhibitors. These novel lead compounds act as potent and specific inhibitors for the ADAMTS-4 enzyme and could have therapeutic potential in the treatment of OA.

11. ADAMTS-4 protein expression increased in cartilage tissue from spinal tuberculosis patients.

12. Using in vitro approaches and cultured breast cancer cell lines authors demonstrate that Fibulin-2 is a better substrate for ADAMTS-5 than it is for ADAMTS-4. Fibulin-2 degradation is associated to an enhancement of the invasive potential of T47D, MCF-7 and SK-BR-3 cells.

13. ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS15 were upregulated in symptomatic uterine leiomyomas.

14. The SNP rs4233367 in the exon of ADAMTS-4 gene may be associated with lumbar disc degeneration.

15. Single Nucleotide Variants of Candidate Genes in Aggrecan Metabolic Pathway Are Associated with Lumbar Disc Degeneration and Modic Changes

16. Results show that ADAMTS4 mRNA is the target of mir-1268a and its expression might be modified by MIR-1268a rs28599926 polymorphism in hepatocellular carcinoma.

17. we investigated whether important polymorphisms in the ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5 genes affect osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility. ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5 genotypes were determined using the ABI Prism StepOnePlus Real-Time system. Our findings suggest that the ADAMTS4 (rs4233367 and rs11807350) and ADAMTS5 (rs226794 and rs2830585) variants examined may not contribute to susceptibility to knee OA in the Turkish population.
