  • 목 적 : MMP 활동의 변화는 류마치스 관절염과 암 전위를 비롯한 여러 질환에서 보고되고 있다. 최근에 확장성 심근증에서 MMP 활동의 증가가 발표되었다. 아드리아마이신으로 유도된 심근증에서 MMP에 대한 보고는 없는 실정이다. 아드리아마이신으로 유도된 심근증에서 MMP, TIMP 유전자 발현을 연구하고 cytokine과의 관련성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 방 법 : Sprague Dawley 쥐에 아드리아마이신 5 mg/kg을 1주일에 2번씩 2주간(누적 용량 : 20 mg/kg) 복강내 주사하였고, 정상쥐를 대조군으로 하였다. 2주 후에 쥐를 희생시켜서 혈청과 심장조직을 얻었다. 혈청에서 ELISA 원리로 MMP-2, TIMP-3, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$를 측정하였다. 심장에서 total RNA를 추출하였고, MMP-2, TIMP-3 IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ primer를 이용하여 PCR로 증폭하였다. 증폭된 DNA는 1% agarose gel에서 전기 영동하였고 UV light 아래에서 필름으로 촬영하였다. 결 과 : 혈청 MMP-2와 TIMP-3는 두 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 아드리아마이신군에서 IL-6은 $36.8{\pm}2.8pg/mL$, TNF-${\alpha}$$2.2{\pm}2.7pg/mL$로 정상군에 비해 유의한 증가를 보였다. 혈청 MMP-2와 TNF-${\alpha}$와는 r=0.41로 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 심근 조직에서 MMP-2, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$는 발현되지 않았고, TIMP-3는 아드리아마이신군에서 대조군에 비해 유전자 발현이 감소되었다. 결 론 : 아드리아마이신으로 유도된 급성 심근증 모델에서는 심근에서 MMP, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$가 발현되지 않았고, TIMP 발현이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 혈청 MMP와 TNF-${\alpha}$와의 상관성이 유의하게 높았으므로 TNF-${\alpha}$가 MMP 발현을 조절함을 시사해 준다. 앞으로 만성 심근증 모델에서 MMP, TIMP 발현에 대하여 연구할 예정이다.

  • Therapeutic manipulation of angiogenesis, the formation of new vascular sprouts from existing capillaries, is one of the promising strategies for treatment of human diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and cardiovascular disorder. In the present study, we examined the effects and molecular mechanism of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and endostatin on fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)-stimulated endothelial cell proliferation, migration and adhesion in vitro, and angiogenesis in vivo. TIMP-2 and endostatin showed potent anti-angiogenic activity in vitro and in vivo. These effects appear to be mediated through different angiogenic signaling pathways. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that TIMP-2 and endostatin strongly inhibit FGF-2-induced angiogenic responses, and the establishment of fast and reproducible evaluation system in vitro and in vivo for the development of anti-angiogenic biomaterials and therapeutics.

  • 연구배경: 잔여 흉막비후는 결핵성 흉막염 치료 후 흔히 나타날 수 있는 합병증 중의 하나이며, 이로 인해 호흡기능에 지장을 주는 경우가 있다. 이에 결핵성 흉막염 진단 시 흉수 내의 metalloproteinase (MMP)s와 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)s의 농도가 치료 후 잔여 흉막비후가 지속되는 지 예측할 수 있는 인자가 될 수 있는 지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 2004년 1월부터 2005년 6월 사이에 흉수가 발견되어 입원한 환자를 대상으로 전향적 연구를 시행하였다. 진단 시 흉수의 분석을 통해 결핵성 흉막염, 부폐렴성 흉수, 악성 흉수, 여출액군으로 나누고, 환자의 혈청과 흉수에서 ELISA 방법을 이용하여 MMP-1, -2, -8, -9와 TIMP-1, -2를 측정하였다. 결핵성 흉막염의 경우 흉부엑스선검사로 항결핵제 치료 종결 시점과 마지막 추적 관찰시점에 잔여 흉막비후의 두께를 측정하여 잔여 흉막비후가 있는 군과 없는 군으로 나누었다. 결 과: 흉수가 발견되어 입원한 환자 중 제외 기준에 해당하는 환자를 제외하고 총 39명의 환자가 대상이 되었다. 이 중 결핵성 흉막염은 23명, 부폐렴성 흉수 7명, 악성 흉수 7명, 여출액 2명이었다. 결핵성 흉막염 환자 23명 중 본원에서 항결핵제 치료를 종료한 환자는 17명이었으며, 이 중 잔여 흉막비후가 없는 군은 10명(59%)이었으며, 잔여 흉막비후가 있는 군은 7명(41%)이었다. 잔여 흉막비후가 있는 군은 흉수 TIMP-1 ($41,405.9{\pm}9,737.3ng/mL$)이 잔여 흉막비후가 없는 군($29,134.9{\pm}8,801.8$)보다 의미있게 높았다(p=0.032). 치료 종료 후 평균 $8{\pm}5$개월의 추적관찰이 가능한 13명의 환자들에서, 마지막으로 촬영한 흉부 후전위 촬영에서 잔여 흉막비후가 없는 군은 11명(85%)이었고, 잔여 흉막비후가 있는 군은 2명(15%)이었다. 잔여 흉막비후가 있는 군은 흉수 TIMP-2 ($34.4{\pm}6.5ng/mL$)가 잔여 흉막비후가 없는 군($44.4{\pm}15.5$)보다 의미있게 낮았다(p=0.038). 결 론: 결핵성 흉막염의 잔여 흉막비후의 발생에 TIMP-1과 TIMP-2이 관여 될 수도 있을 것으로 추정된다.

  • Angiogenesis is a fundamental process by which new blood vessels are formed. It is essential in embryo development, and wound healing. Furthermore, malignant tumor growth and metastasis are also angiogenesis-dependent. In the catilage tissue, normal angiogenesis process is suppressed. In fact, it was reported that angiogenesis-inhibitory substances were isolated from the extracts of cow and shark catilage tissue. In order to isolate genes involved in the regulation of angiogenesis from a catilage fish, we constructed a shark cDNA library from Scylliohinus torazame. We then screened the library using hyman tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) gene as a probe. Among the 4 X 10$^{4}$ plaques screened, we isolated 2 positive clones (T-1, T-2). Restriction enzyme analysis revealed that the T-1 clone contains 0.8 kb cDNA insert, and the T-2 clone contains 1.2 kb and 2.2 kb inserts, respectively. Further DNA sequence analysis shows that the DNA sequence of the T-1 clone is 53% homologous to that of the human TIMP-1 gene.

  • The matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) play important roles in metastasis and invasion in various cell types. An endogenous inhibitor of MMP, tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-2 (TIMP-2), has high specificity for MMP-2. An imbalance between MMP-2 and TIMP-2 causes the degradation of the extracellular matrix associated with pathological events including invasion and metastasis. Since TIMPs are secreted molecules, they have the potential to be used for gene therapy of certain tumors. (omitted)

  • Reprogramming errors, which appear frequently in cloned animals, are reflected by aberrant gene expression. We previously reported the aberrant expression of TIMP-2 and PBEF in cloned placenta and differential expression of PBEF genes during pregnancy. To examine the epigenetic modifications that regulate dynamic gene expression in developing placentae, we herein analyzed the mRNA and protein expression levels of PBEF and TIMP-2 in the placentae of normal mice during pregnancy and then examined potential correlations with epigenetic modifications. DNA methylation pattern analysis revealed no difference, but ChIP assays using antibodies against H3-K9/K14 and H4-K5 histone acetylation revealed that the H3-K9/K14 acetylation levels, but not the H4-K5 acetylation levels, of the TIMP-2 and PBEF loci were significantly correlated with their gene expression levels during placentation in normal mice. These results suggest that epigenetic changes may regulate gene expression level in the developing placentae of normal mice and that inappropriate epigenetic reprogramming might be one cause of the abnormal placentae seen in cloned animals.

  • Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc proteases that serve the function of breaking down extracellular matrix (ECM). The present study evaluated the role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the increased deposition of ECM in hepatic and glomerular fibrosis caused by carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$). The activity of MMPs increased and the levels of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1 and 2 (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) decreased in the liver and kidney of $CCl_4$-treated rats. Rats treated with $CCl_4$ and NAC showed increased activities of MMPs and decreased levels of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in the liver and kidney. Treatment with NAC resulted in the effective degradation of ECM due to an increase in the activities of MMPs and a decrease in the levels of TIMPs.

  • Curcumin (CM) possesses anti-cancer activity against a variety of tumors. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in remodeling the extracellular matrix and their activities are regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) family. Control of MMP and TIMP activity are now of great significance. In this study, the effect of CM is investigated on metastatic MMPs and anti-metastatic TIMPs genes on MDA breast cancer cells cultured in a mixture of DMEM and Ham's F12 medium and treated with different concentrations of CM (10, 20 and $40{\mu}M$ for various lengths of time. Reverse transcription followed by quantitative real time PCR was used to detect the gene expression levels of MMPs and TIMPs in CM-treated versus untreated cases and the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. At high concentrations of curcumin, TIMP-1, -2, -3 and -4 genes were up-regulated after 48 hours of treatment, their over-expression being accompanied by down-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 gene expression levels in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. These results suggest that curcumin plays a role in regulating cell metastasis by inhibiting MMP-2 and MMP-9 and up-regulating TIMP1 and TIMP4 gene expression in breast cancer cells.
