Urinary matrix metalloproteinase 9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 biomarkers for predicting renal scar in children with urinary tract infection [PDF]
Objective: Urinary tract infection occurs in 1.8–6.6% of children under 6 years old. The aim of this study was to assess the urinary concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), in children with

Prognostic value of determination of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in follicular fluid in patients in vitro fertilization programs [PDF]
Aim. To determine the prognostic significance of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue metalloproteinase-1 inhibitor (TIMP-1) in the follicular fluid (FF) in patients with infertility to improve the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization (IVF ...

Inactivation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 by peroxynitrite [PDF]
Peroxynitrate (ONOO−) has recently been implicated in connective tissue destruction in vivo. We have studied the effect of ONOO− on the activity of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) in vitro. The inactivation of TIMP‐1 by ONOO− was dose dependent with 50 μM ONOO− reducing the inhibitory activity of TIMP‐1 towards gelatinase‐A by 50 ...

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 predicts adiposity in humans [PDF]
Objective: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 is upregulated in fat of obese rodents and promotes adipose tissue development in these animals. However, it is unclear whether TIMP-1 independently predicts adiposity in humans and whether serum levels are increased in s.c. and visceral obesity. Design: Twenty-four lean, 16 s.c.

Colorectal cancer is reported as the third most common case worldwide in men and accounts for 10% of all cancers. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that affect the degradation and remodeling of extracellular components and contribute to the three Hallmarks of cancer.

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 1 Regulates Resistance to Infection [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1)-deficient mice are resistant to Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infections. Corneas healed completely in TIMP-1-deficient mice, and infections were cleared faster in TIMP-1-deficient mice than in wild-type littermates.
