Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐2 inhibits bFGF‐induced human microvascular endothelial cell proliferation

Murphy, Anne N., Unsworth, Edward J., Stetler‐Stevenson, William G.·1993·Journal of Cellular Physiology

Abstract

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐2 (TIMP‐2), a protease inhibitor that binds to the latent and active forms of 72 kDa type IV collagenase (gelatinase A), was found to inhibit the in vitro proliferation of human microvascular endothelial (HME) cells stimulated with bFGF and 5% serum. The maximal inhibitory effect of TIMP‐2 on incorporation of 3 H‐thymidine was evident 24 hours after bFGF stimulation of these cells and ranged between 45 and 60%. The half‐maximal effective concentration of TIMP‐2 was 107 ± 12 nM (S.D.). In contrast, TIMP‐1 was not found to slow the growth of HME cells. The inhibition of cell proliferation observed with TIMP‐2 was not mimicked by addition to the culture medium of BB94, a general matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, nor antibodies to the 72 kDa type IV collagenase. In addition to growth, two other cell functions associated with the angiogenic process were tested for sensitivity to TIMP‐2. Cell adhesion to tissue culture platic was slightly stimulated by TIMP‐2, and cell migration was inhibited with short‐term exposure to TIMP‐2, but neither process was affected by longer‐term exposure. The ability of TIMP‐2 to inhibit cultured endothelial cell proliferation independent of protease inhibitory activity suggests that TIMP‐2 may have additional actions which may limit neovascularization associated with solid tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
