چکیده
The tumor cell-derived collagenase-stimulatory factor (TCSF) was pre viously purified from human lung carcinoma cells (S. M. Ellis, K. Nabeshima, and C. Biswas, Cancer Res., 49: 3385-3391, 1989). This protein is present on the surface of several types of human tumor cells in vitro and in vivo and stimulates production of interstitial collagenase in human fibroblasts. In this study it is shown that TCSF stimulates expression in human fibroblasts of niKN Vfor Stromelysin 1 and 72-kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase, as well as for interstitial collagenase. Measurement of enzyme protein by immunoassay showed that the amounts of interstitial collagenase and Stromelysin 1 were increased in TCSF-treated fibroblasts; gelatin zymography indicated that there was an increase in the 72-kDa gelatinase. These results indicate that tumor cell interaction with fibro blasts via TCSF could lead to increased degradation of interstitial or basement membrane matrix components and thus to enhanced tumor cell invasion.

Transforming growth factor-beta and interleukin-1 modulate metalloproteinase expression by corneal stromal cells.
The enzyme collagenase participates in remodeling the extracellular matrix of corneal stroma during normal wound healing and mediates the degradation of extracellular matrix that occurs in many corneal pathologic states. Because this enzyme is synthesized and secreted by corneal cells, therapy of degradative disorders might be geared toward control of enzyme expression. The effects of two cytok...

Tumor cell-derived collagenase stimulatory factor (TCSF) stimulates in vitro the biosynthesis of various matrix metalloproteinases involved in tumor invasion, such as interstitial collagenase, gelatinase A, and stromelysin 1. The expression of TCSF mRNAs was studied in vivo, using in situ hybridization and Northern blotting analysis, in seven normal tissues and in 22 squamous cell carcinomas of...

Chlamydia pneumoniae, an intracellular Gram-negative respiratory bacterium, and macrophages are present in inflammatory tissue sites such as atherosclerotic lesions, where abnormal degradation of the extracellular matrix takes place. To evaluate the potential of C pneumoniae for participation in matrix destruction, we studied the effect of this bacterium on the production of 3 matrix-degrading ...

Monocyte-derived foam cells figure prominently in rupture-prone regions of atherosclerotic plaques. Peripheral blood monocytes in culture can produce certain enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix, known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Lipid-laden macrophages may thus contribute to weakening of extracellular matrix of rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques. However, the spectrum and regu...

Histological studies have previously demonstrated an association between mast-cell activation/degranulation and areas of connective-tissue lysis in vivo; in addition, mast-cell extracts have been shown to activate latent forms of collagenase and stromelysin. In the present study we have examined the potential roles of rat mast-cell proteinase (RMCP) I and RMCP II as activators of the precursors...
