High impact information on TIMP2

  • Vein graft extracts were analyzed for MMPs, TIMP-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and thrombin activity, and for ERK-1/2 activation [1].
  • After 1, 3, 6, and 12 days, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) concentrations in 3-D constructs; nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations in media samples; and relative expressions of selected genes, including metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2, were evaluated [2].
  • Reverse zymography was used to detect TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 and all three cell lines produced both proteins [3].
  • The concentration of TIMP-2 in the synovial fluid of osteoarthritic dogs (46.2 +/- 21.9 ng/ml) was significantly less than that of control dogs (122.0 +/- 66.5 ng/ml) (P = 0.009) [4].
