RFLP detected by an X-linked cDNA encoding erythroid-potentiating activity/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (EPA/TIMP).
SOURCE/DESCRIPTION: A full length (1.1 kb) human EPA cDNA * clone inserted in p91023(B) at the EcoRI restriction site * (1). POLYMORPHISM: Bglll identifies a two allele polymorphism with • bands of approximately 12 kb (Al) or 9.5 and 2.5-kb (A2). « t FREQUENCY: A total of 102 X chromosomes from 54 unrelated individuals was examined. £ Al (12 kb allele): 0.66 PvuII or Xbal with a panel of three ...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of ADAM12 catalytic activity through engineering of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2).
The disintegrin and metalloprotease ADAM12 has important functions in normal physiology as well as in diseases, such as cancer. Little is known about how ADAM12 confers its pro-tumorigenic effect; however, its proteolytic capacity is probably a key component. Thus selective inhibition of ADAM12 activity may be of great value therapeutically and as an investigative tool to elucidate its mechanis...
متن کاملTissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) expression in adenocarcinoma pleural effusions.
Serous effusions are frequently a clinical manifestation of metastatic disease, with lung, breast and ovarian carcinoma and mesothelioma leading the list. The diagnosis of malignant effusion signifies disease progression and is associated with a worsening patient prognosis. The ability to grow in a dense exudative fluid suggests that the malignant cells are capable of acquiring nutrients, survi...
متن کاملClinical significance of serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-2) in gastric cancer.
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is able to degrade type IV collagen, and thus plays a key role in the migration of tumor cells. MMP-2 activity is inhibited by its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-2). The imbalance between MMPs and TIMPs may facilitate progression of cancer cells. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical importance of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 to that of classical tumor markers, namely...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Circulating Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in Human Bladder Cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) play an important role in the metastasis and invasiveness of bladder cancer. The balance of secreted MMPs and their specific inhibitors is crucial in maintaining connective tissue homeostasis in physiological conditions. In neoplastic diseases, an unbalance of MMPs and TIMPs is supposed to be linked to the invasive character o...
