Recombinant GPI-anchored TIMP-1 stimulates growth and migration of peritoneal mesothelial cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mesothelial cells are critical in the pathogenesis of post-surgical intraabdominal adhesions as well as in the deterioration of the peritoneal membrane associated with long-term peritoneal dialysis.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 are key regulators of extracellular matrix degradation by mouse embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Embryo implantation in humans and rodents is a highly invasive yet tightly controlled process involving extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) has been implicated as the major facilitator of this ECM degradation. MMP-9

Novel bi- and trifunctional inhibitors of tumor-associated proteolytic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Serine proteases, cysteine proteases, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Recently, a recombinant bifunctional inhibitor (chCysuPA(19-31)) directed against cysteine proteases and the urokinasetype ...

Characterization of the functional domain of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1993
Analysis of the functional domain of tissue inhibitor of metallo-proteinases-2 (TIMP-2) was performed using limited proteolytic degradation with trypsin. This treatment generated a 13.5 kDa fragment which was purified and shown to consist of an uncleaved N-terminal region extending from residue 1 to residue 132.

Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Introduction Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood. The immunoregulatory adipokine leptin is detectable in

Tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 and risk of type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population

open access: yesBMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 2020
IntroductionThe non-invasive enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) score—comprising tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP1), hyaluronic acid (HA) and amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP)—has been shown to accurately predict ...

Expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2 in pituitary tumors and their relationship with cavernous sinus invasion

open access: yesEndocrine Oncology
Objective: To evaluate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in pituitary tumors and investigate their correlation with circulating plasma proteins and cavernous sinus invasion ...

Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 in early stages of canine osteoarthritis

open access: yesVeterinární Medicína, 2008
The aim of this study was to determine if the activity of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in the synovial fluid (SF) and serum can be used as a marker for diagnosing the early stages of osteoarthritis (OA).

Neutrophil Adhesion and the Release of the Free Amino Acid Hydroxylysine

open access: yesCells, 2021
During infection or certain metabolic disorders, neutrophils can escape from blood vessels, invade and attach to other tissues. The invasion and adhesion of neutrophils is accompanied and maintained by their own secretion.

Interaction between tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 and progelatinase A: immunoreactivity analyses [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1996
By immunoreactivity analysis using monoclonal antibodies, we showed that the C-terminal domain [R415–631; R is residue] of progelatinase A [pro-matrix metalloproteinase-2 (proMMP-2); EC 3.4.24.24] affected the immunoreactivity of a one-step sandwich enzyme immunoassay (sandwich EIA) for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) in exactly the ...
