Correlation of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression in Ileal Carcinoids, Lymph Nodes and Liver Metastasis with Prognosis and Survival [PDF]
Purpose: Ileal carcinoids are gut epithelial tumors originating from serotonin-containing enterochromaffin (EC) cells. Therapeutic options for effectively inhibiting the growth and spread of metastatic carcinoids are still limited.

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis on the possible reason for the decrease in the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as a consequence of the high concentration of their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in the blood serum of patients with ...

The effects of a plant proteinase inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum on human tumor cell lines [PDF]
Supplementary to the efficient inhibition of trypsin, chymotrypsin, plasma kallikrein, and plasmin already described by the EcTI inhibitor from Enterolobium contortisiliquum, it also blocks human neutrophil elastase (K(iapp)=4.3 nM) and prevents phorbol ...

Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9 and their tissue inhibitors in inflammatory neuromuscular disorders [PDF]
We monitored serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) before and during intravenously applied immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in 33 patients with chronic immune-mediated neuropathies and myopathies and 15 ...

The Effects of Botulinum Toxin A on Collagen Synthesis, Expression of MMP (matrix metalloproteinases)-1,2,9 and TIMP (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase)-1 in the Keloid Fibroblasts [PDF]
Keloids are characterized by excessive extracelluar matrix (ECM) deposition such as collagen, fibronectin, elastin, and proteoglycans in the dermis. Recently, the use of botulinum toxin A (BTXA) in the treatment of keloids have had good results.

Inactivation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 by peroxynitrite [PDF]
Peroxynitrate (ONOO−) has recently been implicated in connective tissue destruction in vivo. We have studied the effect of ONOO− on the activity of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) in vitro. The inactivation of TIMP‐1 by ONOO− was dose dependent with 50 μM ONOO− reducing the inhibitory activity of TIMP‐1 towards gelatinase‐A by 50 ...

Matrix metalloproteinases in the process of invasion and metastasis of breast cancer [PDF]
Metastatic cascade in malignant tumors, including breast cancer, starts with localized invasion of the host tissue. This process, requiring that tumor cells separate from each other, includes loss of homotypic and heterotypic cell adhesion and cell-cell ...

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-4. The road less traveled
Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate diverse processes, including extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and growth factors and their receptors' activities through the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
