Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
MedGenMed : Medscape general medicine, 2008By regulating matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and controlling the breakdown of extracellular matrix components, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play an important role in the process of tumor invasion and metastasis. The present study was designed to clarify the role of TIMP-2 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients and to ...

ABSTRACTThe involvement of gelatinase (matrix metalloproteinase‐2 [MMP‐2] and MMP‐9) in the matrix remodeling and development of tubulointerstitial fibrosis has been studied recently, but relatively little is known about the regulators and the mechanisms controlling the activation and expression of gelatinase in renal fibroblasts. In these studies, the

Object Meningiomas are benign extraaxial tumors with a slow progression. Some of them, in spite of being benign in nature, may show an aggressive progression pattern. To investigate the behavioral characteristics of meningiomas, researchers have studied matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs), interstitial collagens, proteins,

Laboratory investigation; a journal of technical methods and pathology, 1997
Enhanced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2/72-kd type IV collagenase) action correlates with invasion in neoplasia. MMP-2 is inhibited in vivo by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)-TIMP-1 and, especially, TIMP-2. A synthetic, biotinylated inhibitor specific for activated MMP-2 in solution phase, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect

Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) has high affinity for matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). Few studies simultaneously investigate their implication in prognosis of patients with cervical cancer. We used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical method for cervical tissues and microarrays to ...

This study was to explore the correlations between genetic variants in MMP2-1306C/T, TIMP2 2379C/T, TIMP2 303G/A and the genetic susceptibility to gastric carcinoma (GC) in Fujian province, China.A case-control study was conducted. Polymorphisms of MMP2-1306C/T, TIMP2 2379C/T, TIMP2 303G/A in 479 gastric carcinoma patients and 469 cancer-free controls,

To clarify the mechanism of cancer cell invasion, we paid close attention to the role of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in normal tissue that is located in the same organ as the cancer.Samples were obtained from a tumor lesion and normal tissue in the resected large intestine of 59 patients with colorectal cancer,

The family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been shown to be involved in proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix, which is an essential step in tumor invasion and metastasis. MMPs are tightly regulated by the levels of active enzymes and their inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
