Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1: Actions beyond Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibition [PDF]

open access: yesCardiology, 2015
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent enzymes, which include 25 current members. MMPs degrade structural components of extracellular matrix and process bioactive molecules including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors [1].

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

open access: yes, 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-

Metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in exudative pleural effusions [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2005
The aim of this study was to assess the expression of several metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in exudative pleural effusions, and their relationship with inflammatory and fibrinolytic mediators in parapneumonic effusions.The study included 51 parapneumonic effusions (30 empyema or complicated parapneumonic,
