To evaluate the roles of fibroblast proteins in the remodeling of the subconjunctival connective tissue, we immunohistochemically assessed the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -2, and the tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 and -2 in cultured human subconjunctival fibroblasts and in normal and healing human ...

Inhibition of angiogenesis by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1994AbstractMatrix proteases play a critical role in cell invasion and migration, including the process of angiogenesis. The ability of specific factors to induce angiogenic responses correlates with their stimulation of matrix protease synthesis and release.

Response of plasma matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases to stent-graft surgery for descending thoracic aortic aneurysms [PDF]
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007 ObjectiveThe role of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue endogenous inhibitors has been documented in abdominal aortic aneurysms, but few articles have investigated their role after thoracic aortic aneurysm treatment.

Embryo implantation in the mouse is a highly orchestrated process, a key aspect of which is the invasion of trophoblast cells of the blastocyst into the maternal uterine endometrium. Invasion is facilitated via proteinases expressed by trophoblast cells and balanced by expression of inhibitors of proteinases in the maternal decidua.

Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases in kidney disease
2021Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc and calcium endopeptidases which cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. They are also involved in the degradation of cell surface components and regulate multiple cellular processes, cell to cell interactions, cell proliferation, and cell signaling pathways.

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in liver fibrosis
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1997Liver fibrosis and its end stage sequelae cirrhosis represent a major worldwide health problem. By definition progressive fibrosis occurs when the rate of matrix synthesis exceeds matrix degradation. Considerable evidence suggests that the hepatic stellate cell is central to the fibrotic process.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are one of the major classes of proteolytic enzymes involved in tumor invasion and metastasis, being inhibited by naturally occurring tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).

Matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors in endocrinology
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1996Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors (TIMPs) have been widely implicated in tissue resorption, degradation, and fibrosis in a range of normal and abnormal processes, but recently defined additional actions suggest much broader and independent roles for different members of these gene families.

Dupuytren's contracture is a fibroproliferative disorder characterized by progressive deposition of mature collagen fibers. In other fibrotic diseases affecting organs such as the liver, lung, heart, and skin, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), play an important role.

The balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) has been seen as important during tumor invasion and progression. The determination of these components needs a special strategy of tissue preparation.
