Regulation of the synthesis of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 and -2 by hepatic and pancreatic stellate cells

open access: yes, 2010
Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a central role in fibrosis development by production of extracellular matrix and also by secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) including TIMP-2 and MMP-2.

Circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels are associated with aortic dimensions in genetic aortic conditions.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundBiomarkers that reflect progression of dilatation of the aorta in patients with aortic conditions are needed as surrogate tools to assist in monitoring the condition in a non-invasive manner in combination with imaging procedures.

Inhibition of Trophoblast-Induced Spiral Artery Remodeling Reduces Placental Perfusion in Rat Pregnancy.

open access: yes, 2010
Rats harboring the human angiotensinogen and human renin genes develop preeclamptic features in pregnancy. The preeclamptic rats exhibit a deeper trophoblast invasion associated with a reduced resistance index by uterine Doppler.

Prognostic value of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 in bladder carcinoma.

open access: yesChinese medical journal, 2002
To detect the level of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) mRNA and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) mRNA in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC), and to estimate the prognosis for bladder tumor based on the quality and quantity of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 mRNA.Thirty-five samples of human BTCC and 15 normal fresh bladder tissues were ...

Perturbed CD81 in lung-cancer-derived extracellular vesicles modifies its function in cancer pathophysiology

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Oncology
Lung cancer (LC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related fatalities, necessitating an urgent need for potent treatment strategies. This study investigates the role of extracellular vesicle (EV) cargo: CD81 in lung cancer progression and its potential ...

Clinical significance of serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-2) in gastric cancer

open access: yesFolia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2011
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is able to degrade type IV collagen, and thus plays a key role in the migration of tumor cells. MMP-2 activity is inhibited by its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-2).

JNK suppression is essential for 17β-Estradiol inhibits prostaglandin E2-Induced uPA and MMP-9 expressions and cell migration in human LoVo colon cancer cells

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2011
Background Epidemiological studies demonstrate that the incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer in women are lower than in men. However, it is unknown if 17β-estradiol treatment is sufficient to inhibit prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-induced cellular

Matrix metalloproteinase and tissue inhibitor expression in atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic thoracic aortic aneurysms

open access: yes, 2007
ObjectivesThe altered expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors influences the formation of atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms. Their association with thoracic aneurysms is less clear.

open access: yes, 2018
Objective: To investigate expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), membranous type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in ectopic and eutopic endometrium from women with and without ...
