Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) exert diverse effects on several biological and physiological systems, such as kidney function, neural and endocrine signaling, energy metabolism, and cardiovascular function, playing pivotal roles in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) and cardiac and vascular homeostasis. NPs are collectively known as anti-hypertensive hormones and their main functions are directed toward eliciting natriuretic/diuretic, vasorelaxant, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hypertrophic effects, thereby, regulating the fluid volume, BP, and renal and cardiovascular conditions. Interactions of NPs with their cognate receptors display a central role in all aspects of cellular, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms that govern physiology and pathophysiology of BP and cardiovascular events. Among the NPs atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) activate guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA) and initiate intracellular signaling. The genetic disruption of Npr1 (encoding GC-A/NPRA) in mice exhibits high BP and hypertensive heart disease that is seen in untreated hypertensive subjects, including high BP and heart failure. There has been a surge of interest in the NPs and their receptors and a wealth of information have emerged in the last four decades, including molecular structure, signaling mechanisms, altered phenotypic characterization of transgenic and gene-targeted animal models, and genetic analyses in humans. The major goal of the present review is to emphasize and summarize the critical findings and recent discoveries regarding the molecular and genetic regulation of NPs, physiological metabolic functions, and the signaling of receptor GC-A/NPRA with emphasis on the BP regulation and renal and cardiovascular disorders.

Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in myeloid lineage exaggerates angiotensin II-induced formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Clin Sci (Lond) 2017; 131:609-620.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a transcription factor that regulates various genes responding to hypoxic conditions. We previously reported that myeloid-specific activation of HIF-1α had protective effects on hypertensive cardiovascular remodelling in mice. However the role of myeloid lineage HIF-1α in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has not been determined. Myeloid-specific HIF-1α knockout (HIF-1KO) mice were created using a Cre-lox recombination system in the background of apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice. HIF-1KO and control mice were fed high-fat diet (HFD) and infused with angiotensin II (Ang II, 1800 ng/kg/min) by an osmotic mini pump for 4 weeks to induce AAA formation. Deletion of HIF-1α increased aortic external diameter (2.47±0.21 mm versus 1.80±0.28 mm in control, P=0.035). AAA formation rate (94.4% in HIF-1KO versus 81.8% in control) was not statistically significant. Elastic lamina degradation grade determined by Elastica van Gieson (EVG) staining was deteriorated in HIF-1KO mice (3.91±0.08 versus 3.25±0.31 in control, P=0.013). The number of infiltrated macrophages into the abdominal aorta was increased in HIF-1KO mice. Expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) was suppressed in the aorta and peritoneal macrophages (PMs) from HIF-1KO mice compared with control mice. HIF-1α in myeloid lineage cells may have a protective role against AAA formation induced by Ang II and HFD in ApoE-/- mice.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of zinc-containing endoproteinases that degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components. MMP have important roles in the development, physiology and pathology of cardiovascular system. Metalloproteases also play key roles in adverse cardiovascular remodeling, atherosclerotic plaque formation and plaque instability, vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and restenosis that lead to coronary artery disease (CAD), and progressive heart failure. The study of MMP in developing animal model cardiovascular systems has been helpful in deciphering numerous pathologic conditions in humans. Increased peripheral blood MMP-2 and MMP-9 in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may be useful as noninvasive tests for detection of plaque vulnerability. MMP function can be modulated by certain pharmacological drugs that can be exploited for treatment of ACS. CAD is a polygenic disease and hundreds of genes contribute toward its predisposition. A large number of sequence variations in MMP genes have been identified. Case-control association studies have highlighted their potential association with CAD and its clinical manifestations. Although results thus far are inconsistent, meta-analysis has demonstrated that MMP-3 Glu45Lys and MMP-9 1562C/T gene polymorphisms were associated with CAD risk.

Abstract
Fibroblasts are widely distributed cells and are responsible for the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components but also secrete ECM-degrading matrix metalloproteases. A finely balanced equilibrium between deposition and degradation of ECM is essential for structural integrity of tissues. In the past, fibroblasts have typically been understood as a uniform cell population with comparable functions regardless of their origin. Here, we determined growth curves of fibroblasts derived from heart, skin, and lung and clearly show the lowest proliferation rate for cardiac fibroblasts. Furthermore, we examined basal expression levels of collagen and different MMPs in these three types of fibroblasts and compared these concerning their site of origin. Interestingly, we found major differences in basal mRNA expression especially for MMP1 and MMP3. Moreover, we treated fibroblasts with TNF-α and observed different alterations under these proinflammatory conditions. In conclusion, fibroblasts show different properties in proliferation and MMP expression regarding their originated tissue.

Abstract
The myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM), which preserves the geometry and integrity of the myocardium, is a dynamic structure whose component proteins are maintained by a finely controlled homeostatic balance between deposition and degradation. One of the key targets in cardiology is the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms which mediate pathological remodelling of this matrix causing the transition from compensatory hypertrophy to congestive decompensated heart failure. In response to injury or increased workload, cardiac remodelling including myocyte hypertrophy, develops as the heart attempts to compensate for increased wall stresses. Persistence of these stresses over extended time periods leads to disruption of ECM homeostasis resulting in irreversible maladaptive cardiac remodelling, ventricular dilatation and finally heart failure. ECM remodelling is regulated by the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their endogenous inhibitors (TIMPs). Clinical studies and experimental models of cardiac disease states have reported alterations in the balance between the MMPs and TIMPs in the failing heart and crucially at intermediate time points in the progression to failure. This article reviews the recent clinical, genetic and experimental approaches employed to compare ECM, MMP and TIMP profiles in healthy, compensated and failing hearts and identifies common themes in the perturbation of ECM homeostasis in the transition to heart failure.

Abstract
It is now becoming apparent that dynamic changes occur within the interstitium that directly contribute to adverse myocardial remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI), with hypertensive heart disease and with intrinsic myocardial disease such as cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, a family of matrix proteases, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), has been recognized to play an important role in matrix remodeling in these cardiac disease states. The purpose of this review is fivefold: 1) to examine and redefine the myocardial matrix as a critical and dynamic entity with respect to the remodeling process encountered with MI, hypertension, or cardiomyopathic disease; 2) present the remarkable progress that has been made with respect to MMP/TIMP biology and how it relates to myocardial matrix remodeling; 3) to evaluate critical translational/clinical studies that have provided a cause-effect relationship between alterations in MMP/TIMP regulation and myocardial matrix remodeling; 4) to provide a critical review and analysis of current diagnostic, prognostic, and pharmacological approaches that utilized our basic understanding of MMP/TIMPs in the context of cardiac disease; and 5) most importantly, to dispel the historical belief that the myocardial matrix is a passive structure and supplant this belief that the regulation of matrix protease pathways such as the MMPs and TIMPs will likely yield a new avenue of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for myocardial remodeling and the progression to heart failure.

Abstract
Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is crucial for normal neutrophil infiltration into zymosan-inflamed peritoneum. During the course of zymosan peritonitis MMP-9 is produced in a biphasic-manner as its presence is detectable as early as 30 min post zymosan and then between 2 and 8 h of inflammation. As inflammatory leukocytes were shown to produce MMP-9 we asked if also resident leukocytes, mast cells and macrophages, contribute to its production. And furthermore, if their contribution is limited only to the early phase of inflammation or extends to the later stages. For this purpose some mice were depleted of either resident macrophages or functional mast cells and expression of MMP-9 in peritoneal leukocytes and its release to the exudate were monitored. It turned out that depletion of peritoneal macrophages decreased both MMP-9 content in the leukocytes and its release to the inflammatory exudate at 30 min and 6h of peritonitis. The functional depletion of mast cells also caused a significant decrease in the production/release of MMP-9 that was especially apparent at the early time point (30 min). Moreover, the study shows concomitant kinetics of MMP-9 expression in leukocytes and its release to the exudatory fluid. The findings indicate that resident tissue leukocytes, and among them especially macrophages, constitute an important source of MMP-9 during acute peritoneal inflammation. Overall, the study shows that resident tissue leukocytes, mostly macrophages, constitute an important cellular source(s) of inflammation-related factors and should be regarded as possible targets of anti-inflammatory treatment.

Abstract
Nested genes are fairly common within the mammalian nervous system, yet few studies have examined whether the guest and host genes might be coordinately regulated. Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) inhibit extracellular matrix proteolysis mediated by metzincin proteases. TIMP-2 is the only TIMP not nested within a synapsin gene. It does, however, serve as a host for differential display clone 8 (DDC8), a testis-specific gene whose expression is upregulated during spermatogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that DDC8 is not testis specific. Furthermore, DDC8 expression in nonneural and neural tissues mimics that of TIMP-2, including its upregulation in response to traumatic brain injury, suggesting a potential regulatory relationship. The most striking observation is that the TIMP-2 knockout mouse brain contains TIMP-2 mRNA encoding exons 2-5, which are downstream of DDC8, but not exon 1, which contains the signal sequence and cysteine residue required for MMP inhibition, indicating a functional knockout. That TIMP-2 transcripts in wild-type brain contain DDC8 sequence suggests alternative splicing between the two genes.

Abstract
Murine zymosan-induced peritonitis represents a well-defined model of acute inflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which leukocytes degrade basement membranes during extravasation into the peritoneum are not clear. Gelatinase B (MMP-9) is thought to participate in cellular migration, yet its role in leukocyte transmigration through endothelia during inflammation remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of MMP-9 in the cell influx during zymosan-induced experimental peritonitis. In zymosan-treated Balb/c mice MMP-9 and its natural inhibitor (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 - TIMP-1) were present in the peritoneal fluid and plasma at the time of peritoneal neutrophil (polymorphonuclear leukocyte - PMN) infiltration and persisted there until the time of monocytes/macrophages influx. To probe the function of gelatinases, gelatinase B-deficient mice (MMP-9(-/-)) were used as well as Balb/c mice treated with cyclic CTTHWGFTLC (INH), a specific peptide inhibitor of gelatinases. The studies revealed that in either group of mice deprived of MMP-9 activity, PMN infiltration was impaired at the time of their maximal extravasation (6h) while tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (KC) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) levels were not changed. At later stages (24 h post-zymosan) a significant increase in PMNs was observed in MMP-9(-/-) mice, but not in the inhibitor-treated mice, in comparison to their respective controls. Moreover, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of recombinant mouse pro-MMP-9 induced leukocyte accumulation in peritoneum. Collectively, the findings indicate that gelatinase B participates in leukocyte transmigration; however, its function can be compensated by other mechanisms.

Abstract
Myocardial remodeling is an important predictor for the development of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are the family of proteins responsible for extracellular remodeling, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) tightly control their activity. In the present study, the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 was determined by immunohistochemistry in right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy samples from 16 patients with idiopathic DCM, and its clinical significance was evaluated by comparison with parameters of cardiac function. To obtain a semi-quantitative assessment of MMP and TIMP expression, the average number of positive cells per high power field was counted. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) significantly correlated with the expression of both MMP-2 (r=-0.68) and TIMP-2 (r=-0.58). Patients were classified into 2 groups according to the degree of MMP-2 expression: strongly positive and weakly positive. LVEF, left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure, right ventricular end-diastolic pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and the plasma norepinephrine level were significantly greater in the strongly positive group (p<0.05). In conclusion, the expression of MMPs and TIMPs in the cardiac matrix of patients with idiopathic DCM is closely associated with myocardial remodeling and subsequent deterioration of LV performance. These findings suggest new therapeutic targets for patients with idiopathic DCM.

Abstract
Alterations in the expression and activity of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of the MMPs (TIMPs) have been implicated in tissue remodeling in a number of disease states. One of the better characterized TIMPs, TIMP-1, has been shown to bind to active MMPs and to regulate the MMP activational process. The goal of this study was to determine whether deletion of the TIMP-1 gene in mice, which in turn would remove TIMP-1 expression in LV myocardium, would produce time-dependent effects on LV geometry and function. Age-matched sibling mice (129Sv) deficient in the TIMP-1 gene (TIMP-1 knock-out (TIMP-1 KO), n=10) and wild-type mice (n=10) underwent comparative echocardiographic studies at 1 and 4 months of age. LV catheterization studies were performed at 4 months and the LV harvested for histomorphometric studies. LV end-diastolic volume and mass increased (18+/-4 and 38+/-3%, respectively, P<0.05) at 4 months in the TIMP-1 KO group; a significant increase compared to wild-type controls (P<0.05). At 4 months, LV and end-diastolic wall stress was increased by over two-fold in the TIMP-1 KO compared to wild type (P<0.05). However, LV systolic pressure and ejection performance were unchanged in the two groups of mice. LV myocyte cross-sectional area was unchanged in the TIMP-1 KO mice compared to controls, but myocardial fibrillar collagen content was reduced. Changes in LV geometry occurred in TIMP-1 deficient mice and these results suggest that constitutive TIMP-1 expression participates in the maintenance of normal LV myocardial structure.

Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) pressure (PO) or volume (VO) overload is accompanied by myocardial remodeling, but mechanisms that contribute to this progressive remodeling process remain unclear. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to tissue remodeling in a number of disease states. This study tested the hypothesis that increased MMP expression and activity occur after the induction of an LV overload, which is accompanied by a loss of endogenous MMP inhibitory control. LV MMP zymographic activity and species abundance were measured in dogs under the following conditions: acute PO induced by ascending aortic balloon inflation (6 h, n = 9), prolonged PO by aortic banding (10 days, n = 5), acute VO through mitral regurgitation secondary to chordal rupture (6 h, n = 6), prolonged VO due to mitral regurgitation (14 days, n = 7), and sham controls (n = 11). MMP zymographic activity in the 92-kDa region, indicative of MMP-9 activity, increased over threefold in acute PO and VO and fell to control levels in prolonged PO and VO. The MMP-9 activity-to-abundance ratio increased by over fourfold with acute VO and twofold in acute PO, suggesting a loss of inhibitory control. Endogenous MMP inhibitor content was unchanged with either PO or VO. Interstitial collagenase (MMP-1) content decreased by 50% with acute VO but not with acute PO. Stromelysin (MMP-3) levels increased by 40% with acute VO and increased by 80% with prolonged PO. Although changes in LV myocardial MMP activity and inhibitory control occurred in both acute and prolonged PO and VO states, these changes were not identical. These results suggest that the type of overload stimulus may selectively influence myocardial MMP activity and expression, which in turn would affect the overall LV myocardial remodeling process in LV overload.

Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the collagenolytic potential and localization of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in relation to its regulatory proteins membrane type MT1-MMP and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). For this purpose, we have used purification of MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9 and interstitial type I, II and III collagens; SDS-PAGE/densitometric collagenase activity assay; zymography; Western blotting; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; in situ hybridization; and immunofluorescence, ABC, ABC-APAAP double immunostainings. MMP-2 degraded human type II collagen almost as effectively as MMP-8, whereas MMP-9 did not cleave type II collagen. In synovial tissue, MT1-MMP, TIMP-2 and MMP-2 were found in synovial lining in fibroblast- and macrophage-like cells, in stromal cells and in vascular endothelium. MT1-MMP, TIMP-2 and MMP-2 were strongly expressed in the pannocytes of the invasive pannus at the interface, but staining was weak and/or there were few positive cells both "above" and "below" the soft-to-hard tissue (cartilage and/or bone) interface. Rheumatoid synovial tissue extract contained proteolytically active 62/59 kDa MMP-2 and 43 kDa MT1-MMP, but no free TIMP-2. These results indicate that components of the ternary MT1-MMP/TIMP-2/MMP-2 complex are coexpressed in the normal synovial lining and in its pathological extension on the hyaline articular cartilage. MMP-2 may participate in the remodeling of the normal lining and also seems to be localized/focalized to pannocytes at a site critical for tissue destruction in arthritis.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A review of the current literature on the role of matrix metalloproteinases in intervertebral disc degeneration. OBJECTIVE To detail the characteristics of matrix metalloproteinases (classification, structure, substrate specificity and regulation) and to report previous studies of intervertebral discs. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, a probable prerequisite to disc herniation, is a complex phenomenon, and its physiopathologic course remains unclear. Matrix metalloproteinases probably play an important role but have received sparse attention in the literature. METHODS A systematic review of studies reporting a role of matrix metalloproteinases in intervertebral disc degeneration. RESULTS In several studies, investigators have reported the presence of proteolytic enzymes from disc culture systems and disc tissue extracts in degenerated human intervertebral discs, especially collagenase-1 (MMP-1) and stromelysin-1 (MMP-3). The matrix metalloproteinases are regulated by specific inhibitors (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, or TIMPS), cytokines (interleukin-1), and growth factors. CONCLUSIONS This field of application is of particular interest because conventional treatments are disappointing in chronic low back pain. Clinical trials with specific inhibitors of metalloproteinases are beginning in osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the hallmarks of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is left ventricular (LV) remodeling. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes that contribute to extracellular remodeling in several disease states. Additionally, a family of inhibitors called tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) has been shown to exist and to tightly regulate MMP activity. However, the types of MMPs and TIMPs expressed within the normal and DCM LV myocardium and the relation to MMP activity remain unexplored. METHODS AND RESULTS Relative LV myocardial MMP activity was determined in the normal (n=8) and idiopathic DCM (n=7) human LV myocardium by substrate zymography. Relative LV myocardial abundance of interstitial collagenase (MMP-1), stromelysin (MMP-3), 72 kD gelatinase (MMP-2), 92 kD gelatinase (MMP-9), TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were measured with quantitative immunoblotting. LV myocardial MMP zymographic activity increased with DCM compared with normal (984+/-149 versus 413+/-64 pixels, P<.05). With DCM, LV myocardial abundance of MMP-1 decreased to 16+/-6% (P<.05), MMP-3 increased to 563+/-212% (P<.05), MMP-9 increased to 422+/-64% (P<.05), and MMP-2 was unchanged when compared with normal. LV myocardial abundance of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 increased by >500% with DCM. A high-molecular-weight immunoreactive band for both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, suggesting a TIMP/MMP complex, was increased >600% with DCM. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated increased LV myocardial MMP activity and evidence for independent regulatory mechanisms of MMP and TIMP expression with DCM. These findings suggest that selective inhibition of MMP species within the LV myocardium may provide a novel therapeutic target in patients with DCM.

Abstract
The myocardial fibrillar collagens ensure structural integrity of adjoining myocytes, provide the means by which myocyte shortening is translated into overall left ventricular (LV) pump function, and have been postulated to be essential for maintaining alignment of myofibrils within the myocyte through a collagen-integrin-cytoskeletal-myofibril relation. This laboratory has performed a series of studies in order to examine the relationship between changes in myocardial collagen matrix components to LV function and geometry which occurred in a model of congestive heart failure (CHF) induced by chronic rapid pacing. In this model of CHF, indices of LV pump function are reduced and accompanied by significant dilation. LV fibrillar collagen concentration was reduced and salt extractable collagen, which reflects collagen cross-linking, was increased with the development of CHF. LV myocyte adhesion capacity to basement membrane substrates was reduced with pacing CHF. Results from a recently completed series of studies have demonstrated alterations in the expression and activity of the collagenases, or matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) occur during the progression of CHF. Increased LV myocardial MMP abundance and activity occurred with pacing CHF and were associated with the development of LV dilation, wall thinning, and pump dysfunction. These results suggest that changes within the myocardial extracellular space are a dynamic process and accompany the LV remodeling and dysfunction which occurs with the development of a CHF process. Future studies which define the contributory role of MMP synthesis and activation in the LV remodeling process which occurs in the setting of CHF will likely identify unique therapeutic modalities to slow the progression of this disease process.

Abstract
The development of congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with left ventricular (LV) dilation and myocardial remodeling. However, fundamental mechanisms that contribute to this remodeling process with the progression of CHF remain unclear. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been demonstrated to play a significant role in tissue remodeling in a number of pathological processes. The present project tested the hypothesis that the LV dilation and remodeling during the progression of CHF is associated with early changes in MMP expression and zymographic activity. LV and myocyte function, collagen content, and MMP expression and zymographic activity were serially measured during the progression of CHF caused by pacing-induced supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in pigs. After 7 days of SVT, LV end-diastolic dimension and myocyte length both increased by 15% from control values, and LV fractional shortening fell by 20%. At the level of the myocyte, percent shortening fell by 16% after 7 days of SVT, with no change in the steady-state velocity of shortening. Longer durations of SVT caused progressive LV dilation, LV pump failure, and myocyte contractile dysfunction. Specifically, 21 days of SVT resulted in a >50% increase in LV dimension, a 56% fall in LV fractional shortening, and a 33% decline in myocyte velocity of shortening. The decline in LV and myocyte function with 21 days of SVT was accompanied by signs and symptoms of CHF. Thus, SVT causes time-dependent changes in LV geometry and function and the subsequent development of CHF. LV myocardial collagen content and confluence fell by >25% after 7 days of SVT and were accompanied by an 80% increase in LV myocardial MMP zymographic activity against the substrate gelatin. After 14 days of SVT, total LV myocardial collagen content was reduced by 24%, and LV myocardial MMP zymographic activity increased by >100% from control values. Interstitial collagenase (MMP-1), stromelysin (MMP-3), and 72-kD gelatinase (MMP-2) were increased by approximately 2-fold after 7 days of SVT. LV MMP zymographic activity and abundance remained elevated with longer durations of SVT. The results of the present study demonstrated that in this model of CHF, early changes in LV myocardial MMP zymographic activity and protein levels occurred with the initiation and progression of LV dilation and dysfunction. These findings suggest that an early contributory mechanism for the initiation of LV remodeling that occurred in this model of developing CHF is enhanced expression and potentially increased activity of LV myocardial MMPs.

Abstract
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) can be regulated by gp130 cytokines such as IL-6 and oncostatin M (OSM). Polymerase chain reaction deletion analysis of the murine TIMP-1 proximal promoter in chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene constructs identified an AP-1 element (-59/-53) that allows maximal responsiveness to OSM in HepG2 cells. Fos and Jun nuclear factors bound constitutively to this site as identified by supershift analysis in electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and oncostatin M (but not IL-6) induced an additional "complex 2" that contained c-Fos and JunD. OSM stimulated a rapid and transient increase in c-Fos mRNA and nuclear protein that coincided with complex 2 formation. Phorbol 13-myristate 12-acetate could also induce c-Fos but could not regulate the TIMP-1 reporter gene constructs. Transfection studies also showed that 3'-deletion of sequences downstream of the transcriptional start site (+1/+47) markedly reduced OSM -fold induction. Nuclear factors bound to SP1 and Ets sequences were detected, but were not altered upon OSM stimulation. Although OSM and IL-6 induced STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) factors to bind a high affinity Sis-inducible element DNA probe, binding to homologous TIMP-1 promoter sequences was not detected. Thus, OSM (but not IL-6) stimulates c-Fos, which participates in maximal activation of TIMP-1 transcription, likely in cooperation with other factors such as SP1 or as yet unidentified mechanisms involving the +1 to +47 region of the promoter.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) in combination with other cytokines can induce a reproducible release of collagen fragments from bovine nasal cartilage in culture. Over 70% of the total collagen is released by day 14 and this release is accompanied by the appearance of collagenolytic activity in the medium that cleaves collagen specifically at the one quarter/three quarter position. Interleukin-4 is able to prevent the release of collagen fragments from the tissue and this is accompanied by a reduced secretion and activation of collagenase (MMP-1) with an increase in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1). IL-4, especially in the presence of IL-1, increased TIMP secretion by bovine nasal cartilage in culture. These results suggest that IL-4 is able to specifically block cartilage collagen resorption by down-regulating the production of collagenase (MMP-1) and up-regulating TIMP-1 by chondrocytes within the cartilage.

Abstract
The metalloproteinases are a family of enzymes that can degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. These potent enzymes are often found in proenzyme forms and require activation before the substrate can be digested. To prevent unlimited connective tissue destruction a number of inhibitors exist to limit their activity. In a previous study it was found that metalloproteinases in proenzyme form and metalloproteinase inhibitors were often present in rheumatoid synovial fluids. Two of these inhibitors were identified in rheumatoid synovial fluid as alpha 2 macroglobulin and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP), the specific metalloproteinase inhibitor. A third inhibitory peak was unidentified. In the study reported here it was shown that this third inhibitor can be purified using gelatin-Sepharose chromatography and consists of TIMP-2 bound to progelatinase (relative molecular weight 72,000) in a similar way to that found in concentrated connective tissue culture medium. The importance of these proteinase inhibitors in synovial fluid is discussed.

Abstract
IL1-stimulated pig articular cartilage fragments were cultured in the and absence of various metalloproteinase inhibitors. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) was unable to stop the release of proteoglycan from the cartilage. Incubation of cartilage with a potent synthetic metalloproteinase inhibitor inhibited the release of proteoglycan in a dose-dependent fashion. The results suggest that low-M(r) metalloproteinase inhibitors may have therapeutic potential in limiting connective tissue breakdown in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Connective-tissue cells in culture produce a family of metalloproteinases which, once activated, can degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. These potent enzymes are all inhibited by the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP), and it was thought that this inhibitor was solely responsible for the inhibition of these enzymes within connective tissue. However, other inhibitors have recently been described, including large inhibitor of metalloproteinases (LIMP) present in the culture medium of human foetal lung fibroblasts. Here we show that a large proportion of the inhibitory activity of LIMP consists of 72,000-M(r)-progelatinase bound to TIMP-2, a recently discovered low-M(r) metalloproteinase inhibitor closely related to TIMP. The physiological implications of the secretion of a complex of 72,000-M(r) progelatinase and TIMP-2 are discussed, and the separation of the complex in 6 M-urea is described.

Abstract
In this report we describe the purification of bovine interstitial collagenase and provide information on its substrate specificity, kinetic parameters of catalytic activity, and amino terminal protein sequence. In addition, we present a simplified protocol for the purification of bovine tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP). Collagenase was purified by sequential chromatography through heparin-Sepharose, DEAE-Sepharose, and green-agarose, resulting in a product that was greater than 95% pure as judged by polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Typical of other interstitial collagenases, the isolated bovine protein was activated by protease and organomercurial treatment. It also demonstrated a kinetics and substrate specificity similar to those of human collagenase. TIMP was purified by sequential chromatography through heparin-Sepharose and DEAE-Sepharose followed by reverse-phase HPLC. The purified protein had a size, N-terminal sequence, and inhibitor activity similar to those of other mammalian TIMPs. Partial peptide sequences suggested that bovine collagenase and TIMP have strong sequence homology to their human homologues.

Abstract
Neutral proteolytic activity, having a pH optimum of about 7, was present in the high molecular weight fraction of bovine interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM) separated by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-500. The enzyme(s) was active toward a number of exogenous substrates, including albumin, Azocoll, and gelatin. However, it was inactive toward a synthetic substrate for bacterial collagenase. Proteolytic activity was proportional to protein; however, the time course of the reaction was nonlinear, suggesting that "activation" of a precursor form might be necessary. Of a number of specific inhibitors tested, those directed toward metalloproteinases (1,10-phenanthroline greater than EDTA greater than EGTA) proved most effective. While activity was also inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and dithiothreitol, inhibitors specific for cysteine proteinases were ineffective. Higher specific activity was present in IPM obtained from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) than from retina. An endogenous proteinase inhibitor(s) was also found in IPM from both RPE and retina. It was effective against the endogenous metalloproteolytic activity of IPM and also against thermolysin, but not against trypsin or papain. Fractionation of IPM on Sephacryl S-500 revealed a broad peak of inhibitory activity at molecular weights of less than 10(5) daltons. This is the first report of the presence of neutral proteolytic activity and metalloproteinase inhibitor(s) in bovine IPM. These materials may function in concert to maintain the proper level of various components within this matrix.

Abstract
Human gingival fibroblasts in culture were shown to secrete a 72 kDa progelatinase, of which a proportion in the medium was found to be complexed with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). A purification procedure was devised to purify free enzyme and inhibitor. We also describe the purification of both 95 kDa progelatinase bound to TIMP-1 and free 95 kDa progelatinase from the medium of U937 cells. A polyclonal antiserum to TIMP-2 was prepared and it was shown that TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 are antigenically distinct. The ability to form stable complexes and the relative inhibitory activities of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 towards 95 kDa and 72 kDa gelatinases, collagenase, stromelysins 1 and 2 and punctuated metalloproteinase were determined; only minor differences were found. Complex-formation between TIMP-2 and 72 kDa progelatinase was demonstrated not to reduce the metalloproteinase-inhibitory activity of TIMP-2, a finding that led to the characterization of high-molecular-mass TIMP activity. Competition experiments between progelatinases and active gelatinases for TIMPs indicated that the affinity of TIMPs for progelatinases is weaker than that for active gelatinases. In a study of the effects of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 on progelatinase self-cleavage we found that both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 inhibit the conversion of 95 kDa and 72 kDa progelatinases and prostromelysin into lower-molecular-mass forms. TIMP capable of complexing with progelatinase was shown to be no more efficient an inhibitor of gelatinase self-cleavage than TIMP not able to complex with progelatinase.

Abstract
Human rheumatoid synovial cells in culture secrete both 72-kDa progelatinase and a complex consisting of 72-kDa progelatinase and a 24-kDa inhibitor of metalloproteinases, TIMP-2. In addition, the culture medium contains TIMP-1, the classical inhibitor of metalloproteinases, with a molecular mass of 30 kDa. TIMP-1 does not form a complex with free 72-kDa progelatinase. Free progelatinase and progelatinase complexed with TIMP-2 can be activated with the organomercury compound p-aminophenylmercury acetate. The activated complex shows less than 10% the enzyme activity of activated free gelatinase. The progelatinase-TIMP-2 complex could be shown to be an inhibitor for other metalloproteinases, such as gelatinase and collagenase secreted by human rheumatoid synovia fibroblasts, as well as for the corresponding enzymes from human neutrophils.
