Promoter variants in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) protect against susceptibility in pigeon breeders' disease. [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a major role in extracellular matrix turnover in the lung. However, in chronic lung disorders such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pigeon breeders' disease (PBD), TIMPs may ...

N-Cadherin cleavage during activated hepatic stellate cell apoptosis is inhibited by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1. [In supplement: 11th International Symposium on the Cells of the Hepatic Sinusoid and their Relation to Other Cells] [PDF]

, 2004
Apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) has previously been shown to occur during spontaneous resolution of experimental liver fibrosis. TIMP-1 has also been shown to have a key role because of its ability to inhibit apoptosis of HSC via matrix ...

Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 promoter and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐2 gene polymorphisms in non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma [PDF]

International Journal of Cancer, 2011
AbstractSingle nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter regions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP) genes are associated with an adverse outcome in some cancers. We examined three polymorphisms: −1306C/T and −735C/T in MMP‐2 and −418G/C in the TIMP‐2 gene, using chain reaction restriction fragment ...

Serum matrix metalloproteinase 2 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases 2 in esophageal cancer patients

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2012
The positive expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were found in esophageal cancer (EC) tissue and correlated with cancer stage and clinico-pathological features of tumor and patients' survival. However, little is known about serum levels of those proteins in EC patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic significance of MMP-2 and

IL-1β-Induced Matrix Metalloprotease-1 Promotes Mesenchymal Stem Cell Migration via PAR1 and G-Protein-Coupled Signaling Pathway

Stem Cells International, 2018
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known for homing to sites of injury in response to signals of cellular damage. However, the mechanisms of how cytokines recruit stem cells to target tissue are still unclear.

Altered expression of metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 in cervical disc herniation patients

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
The aim of the current study was to examine matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) expression in patients with cervical disc herniation (CDH). A total of 127 specimens from CDH patients undergoing posterior spinal surgery were obtained for the case group, which was divided into three subgroups: lateral ...
