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 ...

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-;2 gene polymorphisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2001 Proteinase/antiproteinase imbalance is the most widely accepted theory for development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mutations of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-;2 (TIMP-;2) that downregulate its activity may increase the activities of matrix metalloproteinases and result in the degradation of the lung matrix.Polymorphisms of

Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
, 2014 Aim: The molecular mechanism of epileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy is still unclear. Experimental studies have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases have important roles in this process, but human studies are limited.

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.
