N-Cadherin cleavage during activated hepatic stellate cell apoptosis is inhibited by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1. [In supplement: 11th International Symposium on the Cells of the Hepatic Sinusoid and their Relation to Other Cells] [PDF]
Apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) has previously been shown to occur during spontaneous resolution of experimental liver fibrosis. TIMP-1 has also been shown to have a key role because of its ability to inhibit apoptosis of HSC via matrix ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), able to degrade type IV collagen, plays a key role in inflammatory cell migration as well as in the destructive behaviour of cholesteatoma. The aim of our study was to compare the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in cholesteatoma tissue and in the concentrations in serum and plasma concentrations.Twenty five adult ...

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1: Actions beyond Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibition [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent enzymes, which include 25 current members. MMPs degrade structural components of extracellular matrix and process bioactive molecules including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors [1].

Prospective study of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older men and women [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The endopeptidase matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is implicated in atherosclerotic plaque rupture. We investigate prospective associations between MMP-9 and MI or stroke in an older general population cohort, accounting for established and

Effect of small interfering RNAs on matrix metalloproteinase 1 expression
Three small double strand siRNAs (506-MMP1, 859-MMP1 and 891-MMP1), each contains 25–26 nucleotides, with high specific to human MMP1 were designed according to mRNA sequence of human MMP1 (NCBI, NM_002421). To monitor the MMP1 gene expression, the total

Role of matrix metalloproteinases 1, 2, and 9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in chronic venous insufficiency [PDF]
Increased transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) activity is associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) disease progression and dermal skin pathology. Because TGF-beta(1) stimulates collagen synthesis and alters the levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), we investigated the hypothesis that increased ...
