Polymorphisms in the matrix metalloproteinase‐2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐2 and the risk of human adenomyosis

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 2008
AbstractThe matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) may contribute to the development of adenomyosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of MMP‐2 (−1306C/T and −735C/T) and TIMP‐2 (‐418G/C) genes were related to the risk

Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 9 and Their Tissue Inhibitors in the Diagnostics of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

Applied Immunohistochemistry & Molecular Morphology, 2022
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a tumor of the neuroendocrine system. In recent years, the need to assess the MTC diagnostic-related parameters has emerged with the aim to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this pathology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9, their tissue inhibitors of

Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 in fetal rabbit lung

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2000
Cell-extracellular matrix interaction and extracellular matrix remodeling are known to be important in fetal lung development. We investigated the localization of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in fetal rabbit lungs. Immunohistochemistry for type IV collagen, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, membrane type (MT) 1 MMP, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase ...

Dynamic alterations of connexin43, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 during ventricular fibrillation in canine

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2014
The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamic alterations of cardiac connexin 43 (Cx43), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in the setting of different ventricular fibrillation (VF) duration. In this study, thirty-two dogs were randomly divided into sham control group, 8-min VF group, 12-min VF

Erythropoietin Modulates Imbalance of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-2 in Doxorubicin-induced Cardiotoxicity

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective anti-cancer drug with limited clinical use due to its serious cardiotoxicity. Recent studies reported that erythropoietin (EPO) could exert a cardioprotective effect by non-erythropoietic effects. This study was to investigate fibrosis of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and determine mechanisms of EPO against ...

The cloning and expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 in normal canine lymph nodes and in canine lymphoma

Research in Veterinary Science, 2008
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and its inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2), are known to be important in cancer. The purposes of this study were to determine the cDNA sequence of canine MMP-2 and to investigate the expression patterns of MMP-2 and TIMP2 in normal canine lymph nodes and spontaneously arising canine ...

The role of genetic polymorphisms in the promoters of the matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 genes in head and neck cancer

Oral Oncology, 2006
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play an important role in several stages of cancer initiation and development. Single nucleotide polymorphisms identified in the promoters of MMP2 (-1306C-->T) and TIMP2 (-418G-->C) abolish the Sp1-binding site and thus may down-regulate expression of the genes.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-2, -9, and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 in Patients with Hypertension

Endothelium, 2006
There are conflicting data in the literature regarding the expression pattern of the vascular matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in human hypertension. The authors hypothesized that MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 would be abnormal in hypertension, reflecting alterations in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover.

Serum levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐2 and of precursor form of matrix metalloproteinase‐2 in patients with liver disease

Liver, 1997
Abstract: Serum levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐2 (TIMP2) and of precursor form of matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (proMMP2) were determined in patients with chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma by a one‐step sandwich enzyme immunoassay.
