Biological and clinical significance of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in non-small cell lung cancer.
Our main aim consists of investigating the clinical usefulness of gelatinases and their tissue inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, we have analysed in 111 NSCLCs, levels and activity of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, by Enzymoimmunoassay and Gelatine zymography, respectively. Our data revealed higher MMP-2 net activity in the NSCLC population analyzed in this study, this p...
متن کاملExpression of MMP-7, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNA in lung tissue of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and benign pulmonary disease.
UNLABELLED The expression of matrix metallo-proteinases (MMP-7 and MMP-9) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2), which are involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and tumor growth, was investigated in normal lung tissue, tissue of benign pulmonary diseases and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue. PATIENTS AND METHODS Tumor tissue and surro...
متن کاملExpression and Roles of MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-13, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in Allergic Nasal Mucosa
PURPOSE Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma share many characteristics, but structural changes are observed far less often in AR. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a family of Zn-dependent endopeptidases that can decompose the extracellular matrix and basement membrane, and regulate cell infiltration. We analyzed the expression of MMPs and their inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metallop...
متن کاملMMP-9 and MMP-2 gelatinases and TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 inhibitors in breast cancer: correlations with prognostic factors
The goal of our study was to analyse the prognostic values for some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in breast cancer. We evaluated the activity and the expression levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in malignant versus benign fresh breast tumor extracts. For this purpose, gelatinzymography, immunoblotting and ELISA were used to a...
متن کاملMMP-10, MMP-7, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNA expression in esophageal cancer.
INTRODUCTION Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) and the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are involved in the spread of cancer. METHODS We have evaluated the matrix metalloproteinases' (MMP-10, MMP-7) and their inhibitors' (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases - TIMP-1, TIMP-2) mRNA expression in 61 esophageal cancer samples from patients who had undergone surgery, by using real-...
