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 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

Molecular mechanisms of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 in the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]
Mol Cell Ther, 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

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 ...

Kind of Sample as Preanalytical Determinant of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2 in Blood [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1998 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are interesting new diagnostic tools in oncology, liver diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). However, the preanalytical issue of their determination in blood was only recently shown (6).
