Effects of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 deficiency on aneurysm formation [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2006
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 has been shown to play a pivotal role in aortic aneurysm formation. Its activation requires formation of a trimolecular complex of MMP-2, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), and membrane type 1 (MT1)-MMP, which is attached to the cell surface. At higher concentrations, TIMP-2 becomes an inhibitor of MMP-2.

Structure and Characterization of the Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-2 Gene [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
We report here the characterization of the human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) gene. The gene is 83 kilobase pairs (kb) long with exon-intron splicing sites located in preserved positions among the three members of the TIMP family.

The effects of a plant proteinase inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum on human tumor cell lines [PDF]

, 2011
Supplementary to the efficient inhibition of trypsin, chymotrypsin, plasma kallikrein, and plasmin already described by the EcTI inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum, it also blocks human neutrophil elastase (K(iapp)=4.3 nM) and prevents phorbol ...

Molecular mechanisms of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 in the tumor microenvironment [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Therapies, 2014
There has been a recent paradigm shift in the way we target cancer, drawing a greater focus on the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer development, progression and metastasis. Within the TME, there is a crosstalk in signaling and communication between the malignant cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix. Matrix metalloproteinases

Identification of a novel 82 kDa proMMP-9 species associated with the surface of leukaemic cells [PDF]

, 2007
MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) plays a critical role in tumour progression. Although the biochemical properties of the secreted form of proMMP-9 are well characterized, little is known about the function and activity of cell surface-associated proMMP-

The purification of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 from its 72 kDa progelatinase complex. Demonstration of the biochemical similarities of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1991
Human gingival fibroblasts in culture were shown to secrete a 72 kDa progelatinase, of which a proportion in the medium was found to be complexed with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). A purification procedure was devised to purify free enzyme and inhibitor. We also describe the purification of both 95 kDa progelatinase bound to TIMP-1

Mitral tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 is associated with mitral valve surgery outcome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases play a role in regulating cardiac remodeling. We previously reported an association between tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) expression and mitral valve (MV) disease.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 expression is not regulated by norgestimate or norelgestromin

Gynecological Endocrinology, 2004
Steroid hormones regulate endometrial expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. Synthetic progestins are widely used in oral contraceptives and for hormone replacement therapy. To assess whether the synthetic progestins norgestimate and its derivative norelgestromin (17-deacetylnorgestimate) modulate the expression of MMPs ...

Exogenously added GPI-anchored tissue inhibitor of matrix metal loproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) displays enhanced and novel biological activities [PDF]

, 2004
The family of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) exhibits diverse physiological/biological functions including the inhibition of active matrix metalloproteinases, regulation of proMMP activation, cell growth, and the modulation of ...
