TIMP-1 Modulation Correlates with KRAS Dependency and EMT Induction in NSCLC [PDF]
Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancer, including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Sustained expression of KRAS is required for survival in KRAS-dependent tumors.

Estrogen‐dependent gene regulation: Molecular basis of TIMP‐1 as a sex‐specific biomarker for acute lung injury [PDF]
Increased circulating tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐1 (TIMP‐1) levels have been observed in patients with acute lung injury (ALI). However, the sex‐specific regulation of TIMP‐1 and the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been well ...

Natural haemozoin induces expression and release of human monocyte tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1. [PDF]
Recently matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and its endogenous inhibitor (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, TIMP-1) have been implicated in complicated malaria. In vivo, mice with cerebral malaria (CM) display high levels of both MMP-9 and TIMP-1,

Comparative studies of TIMP-1 immunohistochemistry, TIMP-1 FISH analysis and plasma TIMP-1 in glioblastoma patients [PDF]
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) has been associated with poor prognosis and resistance towards chemotherapy in several cancer forms. In a previous study we found an association between a low TIMP-1 tumor immunoreactivity and increased survival for glioblastoma patients, when compared to moderate and high TIMP-1 tumor immunoreactivity.

Levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 are related to cardiopulmonary injury in fetal inflammatory response syndrome [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic value of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio in fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS), and determine a possible association with the

The Mechanism of Inhibition of Collagenase by TIMP-1 [PDF]
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-I (TIMP-1) is a slow, tight-binding inhibitor of fibroblast-type collagenase. Time-course data from inhibition experiments were analyzed by graphic analysis, by nonlinear regression of the analytic integrals of the rate equations and by nonlinear regression with numeric integration of the rate equations.
