ADAMTS -1 and -4 are up-regulated following transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat and their expression is modulated by TNF in cultured astrocytes [PDF]
ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are a recently described group of metalloproteinases. The substrates degraded by ADAMTS-1, -4 and -5 suggests that they play a role in turnover of extracellular matrix in the

Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
Aim: The molecular mechanism of epileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy is still unclear. Experimental studies have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases have important roles in this process, but human studies are limited.

The in vitro activity of ADAM‐10 is inhibited by TIMP‐1 and TIMP‐3 [PDF]
A recombinant soluble form of the catalytic domain of human ADAM‐10 was expressed as an Fc fusion protein from myeloma cells. The ADAM‐10 was catalytically active, cleaving myelin basic protein and peptides based on the previously described ‘metallosheddase’ cleavage sites of tumour necrosis factor α, CD40 ligand and amyloid precursor protein.

Cell surface engineering of renal cell carcinoma with glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored TIMP-1 blocks TGF-beta 1 activation and reduces regulatory ID gene expression [PDF]
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) controls matrix metalloproteinase activity through 1:1 stoichiometric binding. Human TIMP-1 fused to a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor (TIMP-1-GPI) shifts the activity of TIMP-1 from the ...

MMP–TIMP interaction depends on residue 2 in TIMP‐4
Extracellular matrix remodeling and degradation are of great importance in both physiological and pathological situations. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural occurring inhibitors – tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) – are involved in matrix turnover. Among the TIMPs there is only little specificity for inhibiting individual

HDAC-mediated control of ERK- and PI3K-dependent TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix-regulating genes [PDF]
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the acetylation of histones in the control of gene expression. Many non-histone proteins are also targeted for acetylation, including TGF-ß signalling pathway components such as Smad2, Smad3 and Smad7. Our studies in
