Tissue inhibitor of metalfoproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), a protease inhibitor that binds to the latent and active forms of 72 kDa type IV collagenase (gelatinase A), was found to inhibit the in vitro proliferation of human microvascular endothelial (HME) cells stimulated with bFGF and 5% serum. The maximal

BACKGROUND. Tissue inhibitors of nietalloproteinases (TIMPs) act as negative regulators of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade extracellular matrix. We evaluated the metastatic ability of the highly metastatic human gastric cell line KKLS, and that of cells transfected with exogenous TIMP-
We analyzed blood plasma concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -3 (MMP-1; MMP-3), the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and the complex MMP-1/ TIMP-1, and looked for any correlation with prostate cancer stage. These components were measured by ELISA tests specific for these
