An inhibitor of collagenase from human amniotic fluid. Purification, characterization and action on metalloproteinases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. An inhibitor of collagenase of apparent mol.wt. 28000 was isolated from term human amniotic fluid. 2. It is active against mammalian collagenases from a number of species and tissues as well as other mammalian metalloproteinases, but has no activity against bacterial metalloproteinases. 3. Activity is destroyed by treatment with either trypsin or 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate, by heat, and by reduction and carboxymethylation. 4. All the properties observed suggest that it is similar to the synthesized tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases.

The separation and further purification of human polymorphophonuclear-leucocyte collagenase and gelatinase, using modifications of the method of Cawston & Tyler [(1979) Biochem. J. 183, 647-6561, are described. The final preparations yielded collagenase of specific activity 260units/mg and gelatinase of specific activity 13 000 units/mg. Gelatinase was purified to apparent homogeneity in a late...

A specific antiserum to pure human amniotic fluid metalloproteinase inhibitor (TIMP) was raised in a sheep. This antiserum was used to demonstrate: firstly, the immunological identity of the TIMP activities from amniotic fluid and culture medium of human foetal lung fibroblasts; and secondly, by indirect immunofluorescence, the secretion of TIMP by human foetal lung fibroblasts, chondrocytes, e...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their inhibitors (TIMP) in second trimester amniotic fluid of women with hypertensive disorders compared to normotensive women. STUDY DESIGN Amniotic fluid was obtained from 133 women undergoing genetic second trimester amniocentesis. Zymography was performed for MMP characterization and an MMP-2 ELISA kit was used to determi...
متن کاملHuman skin fibroblast collagenase inhibitor. Comparative studies in human connective tissues, serum, and amniotic fluid.
In order to gain insight into the biological significance of a collagenase inhibitor secreted by human skin fibroblasts, we examined various human connective tissues and body fluids for such a protein. The inhibitors found in these tissues were compared immunologically to skin fibroblast inhibitor by Ouchterlony analysis and by the development of a highly specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent as...
متن کاملSecretion of matrix metalloproteinase-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases into the intrauterine compartments during early pregnancy.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important enzymes in tissue remodelling, a key event for the development of the fetal membranes and placenta and establishing the feto-maternal interface during early pregnancy. This study has examined the secretion of the gelatinases, MMP-2 (72 kDa) and MMP-9 (92 kDa), and the endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) into extra-embryonic c...
