MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 mRNA were expressed in the cultured RPE cells. The values of MMP-2/β-actin in the cells treated with 0.1, 1.0, 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 were 1.04±0.04, 1.07±0.02 and 1.11±0.03, respectively, significantly higher than in the control group （0.96±0.03, P〈0. 05-0.01）. The expression of MMP-2 mRNA could be up-regulated by TGF-β, , in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of MMP-9 mRNA in the cultured RPE cells was slightly up-regulated by various TGF-β1 concentrations treatment. The values of TIMP-1/β-actin in the cells treated with 0.01 and 0.1 ng/ mL TGF-β1 were 0.85 ±0.01 and 0.97 ± 0.02 respectively, significantly lower than in the control group （1.07±0.04, P〈0.01）, indicating that the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was down-regulated by TGF-β1 at low concentrations. But along with the increase of TGF-β1 concentrations （1.0 and 10 ng/mL）, the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was slightly up-regulated, not significantly different from that in the control group （P〉0.05）. It was concluded that TGF-β1 might play an important role in the up-regulation of the expression of MMP-2 in RPE cells and result in a directional shift in the balance between MMP and TIMP. This may be facilitated for RPE cells to migrate in the pathogenesis of vitreoretinopathy.展开更多

Immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and matrix metalloproteinase tissue inhibitor-1 was significantly higher in patients with cerebellar arteriovenous malformations than in patients with primary epilepsy. The ratio of matrix metalloproteinase-9 to matrix metalloproteinase tissue inhibitor-1 was significantly higher in patients with hemorrhagic cerebellar arteriovenous malformations compared with those with non-hemorrhagic malformations. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase tissue inhibitor-2 levels were not significantly changed. These findings indicate that an imbalance of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and matrix metalloproteinase tissue inhibitor-I, resulting in a relative overabundance of matrix metalloproteinase-9, might be the underlying mechanism of hemorrhage of cerebellar arteriovenous malformations.展开更多
