Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) have emerged as key enzymes in tumor cell biology. The importance of MT1-MMP, in particular, is highlighted by its ability to activate pro-MMP-2 at the cell surface through the formation of a trimolecular complex comprised of MT1-MMP/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2)/pro-MMP-2. TIMPs 1-4 are physiological MMP inhibitors with distinct roles in the regulation of pro-MMP-2 processing. Here, we have shown that individual Timp deficiencies differentially affect MMP-2 processing using primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Timp-3 deficiency accelerated pro-MMP-2 activation in response to both cytochalasin D and concanavalin A. Exogenous TIMP-2 and N-TIMP-3 inhibited this activation, whereas TIMP-3 containing matrix from wild-type MEFs did not rescue the enhanced MMP-2 activation in Timp-3(-/-) cells. Increased processing of MMP-2 did not arise from increased expression of MT1-MMP, MT2-MMP, or MT3-MMP or altered expression of TIMP-2 and MMP-2. To test whether increased MMP-2 processing in Timp-3(-/-) MEFs is dependent on TIMP-2, double deficient Timp-2(-/-)/-3(-/-) MEFs were used. In these double deficient cells, the cleavage of pro-MMP-2 to its intermediate form was substantially increased, but the subsequent cleavage of intermediate-MMP-2 to fully active form, although absent in Timp-2(-/-) MEFs, was detectable with combined Timp-2(-/-)/-3(-/-) deficiency. TIMP-4 associates with MMP-2 and MT1-MMP in a manner similar to TIMP-3, but its deletion had no effect on pro-MMP-2 processing. Thus, TIMP-3 provides an inherent regulation over the kinetics of pro-MMP-2 processing, serving at a level distinct from that of TIMP-2 and TIMP-4. 相似文献

The important and distinct contribution that membrane type 2 (MT2)-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) makes to physiological and pathological processes is now being recognized. This contribution may be mediated in part through MMP-2 activation by MT2-MMP. Using Timp2-/- cells, we previously demonstrated that MT2-MMP activates MMP-2 to the fully active form in a pathway that is TIMP-2-independent but MMP-2 hemopexin carboxyl (C) domain-dependent. In this study cells expressing MT2-MMP as well as chimera proteins in which the C-terminal half of MT2-MMP and MT1-MMP were exchanged showed that the MT2-MMP catalytic domain has a higher propensity than that of MT1-MMP to initiate cleavage of the MMP-2 prodomain in the absence of TIMP-2. Although we demonstrate that MT2-MMP is a weak collagenase, this first activation cleavage was enhanced by growing the cells in type I collagen gels. The second activation cleavage to generate fully active MMP-2 was specifically enhanced by a soluble factor expressed by Timp2-/- cells and was MT2-MMP hemopexin C domain-dependent; however, the RGD sequence within this domain was not involved. Interestingly, in the presence of TIMP-2, a MT2-MMP.MMP-2 trimolecular complex formed, but activation was not enhanced. Similarly, TIMP-3 did not promote MT2-MMP-mediated MMP-2 activation but inhibited activation at higher concentrations. This study demonstrates the influence that both the catalytic and hemopexin C domains of MT2-MMP exert in determining TIMP independence in MMP-2 activation. In tissues or pathologies characterized by low TIMP-2 expression, this pathway may represent an alternative means of rapidly generating low levels of active MMP-2. 相似文献

Activations of MMP-2 and membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) have been correlated with cell migration, a key cellular event in the wound healing and tissue remodeling. We have previously demonstrated furin-dependent MMP-2 and MT1-MMP activations induced by type I collagen in cardiac fibroblasts. To understand mechanistic aspects of the regulation of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP activations by potential non-matrix factor(s) in cardiac fibroblasts, in the present study, we examined the effects of various agents including concanavalin A (ConA), a proteolytic phenotype-producing agent. We showed that treatment of cells with ConA activated pro-MMP-2, and that this activation concurred with elevated levels of cellular MT1-MMP and TIMP-2. The presence of active MT1-MMP and 43 and 36 kDa processed forms of MT1-MMP in a fraction of intracellular proteins prepared from ConA-treated cells suggests the possible internalization of differential forms of MT1-MMP. The appearance of 36 kDa processed form of MT1-MMP in conditioned media prepared from ConA-treated cells indicates the possible extracellular release of the further processed MT1-MMP fragment. Inhibition of furin in ConA-treated cells attenuated pro-MT1-MMP processing and the cellular TIMP-2 level, plus it reduced cell-released active MMP-2 in a time-dependent manner. These results suggest the involvement of furin in the ConA-induced activations of MT1-MMP and MMP-2. Furthermore, the existence of furin inhibitor-insensitive pro- and active MMP-2 species associated with ConA-treated cells implies that a mechanism independent of furin may perhaps account for the binding of the MMP-2 species to the cells.

Previous studies have shown that membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) (MMP-14) initiates pro-MMP-2 activation in a process that is tightly regulated by the level of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2. However, given the difficulty in modulating TIMP-2 levels, the direct effect of TIMP-2 on MT1-MMP processing and on pro-MMP-2 activation in a cellular system could not be established. Here, recombinant vaccinia viruses encoding full-length MT1-MMP or TIMP-2 were used to express MT1-MMP alone or in combination with various levels of TIMP-2 in mammalian cells. We show that TIMP-2 regulates the amount of active MT1-MMP (57 kDa) on the cell surface whereas in the absence of TIMP-2 MT1-MMP undergoes autocatalysis to a 44-kDa form, which displays a N terminus starting at Gly(285) and hence lacks the entire catalytic domain. Neither pro-MT1-MMP (N terminus Ser(24)) nor the 44-kDa form bound TIMP-2. In contrast, active MT1-MMP (N terminus Tyr(112)) formed a complex with TIMP-2 suggesting that regulation of MT1-MMP processing is mediated by a complex of TIMP-2 with the active enzyme. Consistently, TIMP-2 enhanced the activation of pro-MMP-2 by MT1-MMP. Thus, under controlled conditions, TIMP-2 may act as a positive regulator of MT1-MMP activity by promoting the availability of active MT1-MMP on the cell surface and consequently, may support pericellular proteolysis. 相似文献

Cellular activation of proMMP-13 by MT1-MMP depends on the C-terminal domain of MMP-13 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Procollagenase-3 (proMMP-13) can be activated by soluble or cell associated membrane type matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP). In this study we show that the cell based activation of proMMP-13 by MT1-MMP was dependent on the C-terminal domain, as delta(249-451) proMMP-13, which lacks the haemopexin domain, and a chimaera from N-terminal MMP-13 and C-terminal MMP-19 (proMMP-13/19) were not processed by MT1-MMP expressing cells. Only the initial cleavage at Gly(35)-Ile(36) was dependent on MT1-MMP activity, as conversion to the active enzyme (Tyr(85) N-terminus) required a functional MMP-13 active site. Unlike proMMP-2 activation, this process was independent of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) as MT1-MMP expressing cells from the TIMP-2-/- mouse efficiently activated proMMP-13. 相似文献

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) is unique as it is the only member of the TIMP family that is involved in the cellular activation of promatrix metalloproteinase-2 (pro-MMP-2) by virtue of forming a trimolecular complex with membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) on the cell surface. TIMP-4 is similar in structure to TIMP-2 but is unable to support the activation of the proenzyme. Several reports have highlighted the importance of the TIMP-2 C-terminal domain in the pro-MMP-2 activation complex; however, very little is known about the role of the extended AB loop of TIMP-2 in this mechanism even though it has been shown to interact with MT1-MMP. In this study we show by mutagenesis and kinetic analysis that it is possible to transfer the MT1-MMP binding affinity of the TIMP-2 AB loop to TIMP-4 but that its transplantation into TIMP-4 does not endow the inhibitor with pro-MMP-2 activating activity. However, transfer of both the AB loop and C-terminal domain of TIMP-2 to TIMP-4 generates a mutant that can activate pro-MMP-2 and so demonstrates that both these regions of TIMP-2 are important for the activation process. 相似文献

The membrane type (MT)-matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a subgroup of membrane-anchored MMPs that are major mediators of pericellular proteolysis and physiological activators of pro-MMP-2. The MT-MMPs also exhibit differential inhibition by members of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) family. Here we investigated the processing, catalytic activity, and TIMP inhibition of MT3-MMP (MMP-16). Inhibitor profile and mutant enzyme studies indicated that MT3-MMP is regulated on the cell surface by autocatalytic processing and ectodomain shedding. Inhibition kinetic studies showed that TIMP-3 is a high affinity inhibitor of MT3-MMP when compared with MT1-MMP (K(i) = 0.008 nm for MT3-MMP versus K(i) = 0.16 nm for MT1-MMP). In contrast, TIMP-2 is a better inhibitor of MT1-MMP. MT3-MMP requires TIMP-2 to accomplish full pro-MMP-2 activation and this process is enhanced in marimastatpretreated cells, consistent with regulation of active enzyme turnover by synthetic MMP inhibitors. TIMP-3 also enhances the activation of pro-MMP-2 by MT3-MMP but not by MT1-MMP. TIMP-4, in contrast, cannot support pro-MMP-2 activation with either enzyme. Affinity chromatography experiments demonstrated that pro-MMP-2 can assemble trimolecular complexes with a catalytic domain of MT3-MMP and TIMP-2 or TIMP-3 suggesting that pro-MMP-2 activation by MT3-MMP involves ternary complex formation on the cell surface. These results demonstrate that TIMP-3 is a major regulator of MT3-MMP activity and further underscores the unique interactions of TIMPs with MT-MMPs in the control of pericellular proteolysis. 相似文献

Migration of cardiac fibroblasts is implicated in infarct healing and ventricular remodeling. Activation of matrix metalloproteinases induced by three-dimensional type I collagen, the principal component of the myocardial interstitium, is hypothesized to be essential for this migration. By utilizing primary cultures of cardiac fibroblasts and collagen lattice models, we demonstrated that type I collagen induced MMP-2 activation, and cells undergoing a change from isometric tension to mechanical unloading were associated with increased levels of total and active MMP-2 species. The collagen-induced MMP-2 activation coincided with up-regulated cellular levels of both membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and TIMP-2. A fraction of cellular membrane prepared from cells embedded in the collagen lattice containing active MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 was capable of activating pro-MMP-2, and exogenous TIMP-2 had a biphasic effect on this membrane-mediated MMP-2 activation. Interestingly, the presence of 43-kDa MT1-MMP species in a fraction of intracellular soluble proteins prepared from monolayer cells but not cells embedded in the lattices indicates that MT1-MMP metabolizes differently under the two different culture conditions. Treatment of cells embedded in the lattice with furin inhibitor attenuated pro-MT1-MMP processing and MMP-2 activation and impeded cell migration and invasion. These results suggest that the migration and invasion of cardiac fibroblasts is furin-dependent and that the active species of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 may be involved in both events. 相似文献

Gonadotropins stimulate ovarian proteolytic enzyme activity that is believed to be important for the remodeling of the follicular extracellular matrix. Membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) has been identified in vitro as an activator of pro-MMP-2 by forming a complex with tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2). In the present study, the expression pattern of MT1-MMP mRNA and the role of MT1-MMP were examined in the ovary using the gonadotropin-treated immature rat model. Ovaries were collected at selected times after eCG or hCG. RNase protection assays revealed a transient increase in MT1-MMP mRNA beginning 4 h after hCG. High expression of MT1-MMP mRNA was localized to the theca-interstitial layer of developing and preovulatory follicles, while low expression was observed in the granulosa cell layer of developing follicles by in situ hybridization. The localization pattern of MT1-MMP mRNA was compared with TIMP-2 mRNA. Both MMP-2 and TIMP-2 mRNA were expressed in the theca layer of preovulatory follicles, showing a similarity to MT1-MMP mRNA expression. To further determine whether MT1-MMP activates pro-MMP-2 in the ovary, crude plasma membrane fractions from preovulatory ovaries were analyzed by gelatin zymography. In plasma membrane fractions, pro-MMP-2 increased around the time of ovulation. Upon incubation, pro-MMP-2 was activated with the highest levels of activation at 12 h post-hCG. The addition of MT1-MMP antibody or excess TIMP-2 to membrane fractions inhibited pro-MMP-2 activation. The increase in MT1-MMP mRNA may be an important part of the mechanism necessary for the efficient generation of active MMP-2 during the ovulatory process. 相似文献

The role of membrane-type (MT) 2-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in the cellular activation of MMP-2 and the tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) requirements for this process have not been clearly established. To address these issues a TIMP-2-free cell line derived from a Timp2-/- mouse was transfected for stable cell surface expression of hMT2-MMP. Untransfected cells did not activate endogenous or exogenous TIMP-2-free MMP-2 unless both TIMP-2 and concanavalin A (ConA) were added. Transfected cells expressing hMT2-MMP efficiently activated both endogenous and exogenous MMP-2 (within 4 h) via the 68-kDa intermediate in the absence of TIMP-2 and ConA. In contrast, activation of MMP-2 by Timp2-/- cells expressing recombinant hMT1-MMP occurred more slowly (12 h) and required the addition of 0.3-27 nm TIMP-2. Addition of TIMP-2 or TIMP-4 did not enhance MMP-2 activation by MT2-MMP at any concentration tested; furthermore, activation was inhibited by both TIMPs at concentrations >9 nm, consistent with the similar association rate constants (k(on)) calculated for the binding of TIMP-4 and TIMP-2 to MT2-MMP (3.56 x 10(5) m(-1) s(-1) and 6.52 x 10(5) m(-1) s(-1), respectively). MT2-MMP-mediated activation involved cell surface association of the MMP-2 in a hemopexin carboxyl-terminal domain (C domain)-dependent manner: Exogenous MMP-2 hemopexin C domain blocked activation, and cells expressing hMT2-MMP did not bind or activate a truncated form of MMP-2 lacking the hemopexin C domain. These studies demonstrate the existence of an alternative TIMP-2-independent pathway for MMP-2 activation involving MT2-MMP, which may be important in mediating MMP-2 activation in specific tissues or pathologies where MT2-MMP is expressed. 相似文献

The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are specific inhibitors of MMP enzymatic activity. However, TIMP-2 can promote the activation of pro-MMP-2 by MT1-MMP. This process is mediated by the formation of a complex between MT1-MMP, TIMP-2, and pro-MMP-2. Binding of TIMP-2 to active MT1-MMP also inhibits the autocatalytic turnover of MT1-MMP on the cell surface. Thus, under certain conditions, TIMP-2 is a positive regulator of MMP activity. TIMP-4, a close homologue of TIMP-2 also binds to pro-MMP-2 and can potentially participate in pro-MMP-2 activation. We coexpressed MT1-MMP with TIMP-4 and investigated its ability to support pro-MMP-2 activation. TIMP-4, unlike TIMP-2, does not promote pro-MMP-2 activation by MT1-MMP. However, TIMP-4 binds to MT1-MMP inhibiting its autocatalytic processing. When coexpressed with TIMP-2, TIMP-4 competitively reduced pro-MMP-2 activation by MT1-MMP. A balance between TIMP-2 and TIMP-4 may be a critical factor in determining the degradative potential of cells in normal and pathological conditions. 相似文献

Membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase-associated degradation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 in human tumor cell lines 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) is required for the membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP)-dependent activation of pro-MMP-2 on the cell surface. MT1-MMP-bound TIMP-2 has been shown to function as a receptor for secreted pro-MMP-2, resulting in the formation of a trimolecular complex. In the presence of uncomplexed active MT1-MMP, the prodomain of cell surface-associated MMP-2 is cleaved, and activated MMP-2 is released. However, the behavior of MT1-MMP-bound TIMP-2 during MMP-2 activation is currently unknown. In this study, (125)I-labeled recombinant TIMP-2 ((125)I-rTIMP-2) was used to investigate the fate of TIMP-2 during pro-MMP-2 activation by HT1080 and transfected A2058 cells. HT1080 and A2058 cells transfected with MT1-MMP cDNA (but not vector-transfected A2058 cells) were able to bind (125)I-rTIMP-2, to activate pro-MMP-2, and to process MT1-MMP into an inactive 43-kDa form. Under these conditions, (125)I-rTIMP-2 bound to the cell surface was rapidly internalized and degraded in intracellular organelles through a bafilomycin A(1)-sensitive mechanism, and (125)I-bearing low molecular mass fragment(s) were released in the culture medium. These different processes were inhibited by hydroxamic acid-based synthetic MMP inhibitors and rTIMP-2, but not by rTIMP-1 or cysteine, serine, or aspartic proteinase inhibitors. These results support the concept that the MT1-MMP-dependent internalization and degradation of TIMP-2 by some tumor cells might be involved in the regulation of pericellular proteolysis. 相似文献

Stimulation of pro-MMP-2 production and activation by native form of extracellular type I collagen in cultured hepatic stellate cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are known to change their morphology and function with respect to the production of extracellular matrices (ECMs) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in response to ECM components. We examined the regulatory role of the native form of type I collagen fibrils in pro-MMP-2 production and activation in cultured HSCs. Gelatin zymography of the conditioned media revealed that pro- and active form of MMP-2 was increased in the HSCs cultured on type I collagen gel but not on type I collagen-coated surface, gelatin-coated surface, type IV collagen-coated surface, or Matrigel, suggesting the importance of the native form of type I collagen fibrils in pro-MMP-2 production and activation. The induction of active MMP-2 by extracellular type I collagen was suppressed by the blocking antibody against integrin beta1 subunits, indicating the involvement of integrin signaling in pro-MMP-2 activation. RT-PCR analysis indicated that MMP-2, membrane type-1 MMP (MT1-MMP) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) mRNA levels were elevated in HSCs cultured on type I collagen gel. The increased MT1-MMP proteins were localized on the cell surface of HSCs cultured on type I collagen gel. In contrast to the expression of MMP-2, HSCs showed a great decline in MMP-13 expression in HSCs cultured on type I collagen gel. These results indicate that the native fibrillar (polymerized) but not monomeric form of type I collagen induced pro-MMP-2 production and activation through MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 in cultured HSCs, suggesting an important role of HSCs in ECM remodeling in the hepatic perisinusoidal spaces. 相似文献

Acquisition of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity is temporally associated with increased migration and invasiveness of cancer cells. ProMMP-2 activation requires multimolecular complex assembly involving proMMP-2, membrane type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP, MMP-14), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). Because transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) promotes tumor invasion in advanced squamous cell carcinomas, the role of TGF-beta1 in the regulation of MMP activity in a cellular model of invasive oral squamous cell carcinoma was examined. Treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells with TGF-beta1 promoted MMP-dependent cell scattering and collagen invasion, increased expression of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP, and enhanced MMP-2 activation. TGF-beta1 induced concomitant activation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK, and kinase inhibition studies revealed a negative regulatory role for ERK1/2 in modulating acquisition of MMP-2 activity. Thus, a reciprocal effect on proMMP-2 activation was observed whereupon blocking ERK1/2 phosphorylation promoted proMMP-2 activation and MT1-MMP activity, whereas inhibiting p38 MAPK activity decreased proteolytic potential. The cellular mechanism for the control of MT1-MMP catalytic activity involved concurrent reciprocal modulation of TIMP-2 expression by ERK1/2 and p38 MAPKs, such that inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation decreased TIMP-2 production, and down-regulation of p38 MAPK activity enhanced TIMP-2 synthesis. Further, p38 MAPK inhibition promoted ERK1/2 phosphorylation, providing additional evidence for cross-talk between MAPK pathways. These observations demonstrate the complex reciprocal effects of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK in the regulation of MMP activity, which could complicate the use of MAPK-specific inhibitors as therapeutic agents to down-regulate the biologic effects of TGF-beta1 on pericellular collagen degradation and tumor invasion. 相似文献

Remodeling of the extracellular matrix catalyzed by MMPs is central to morphogenetic phenomena during development and wound healing as well as in numerous pathologic conditions such as fibrosis and cancer. We have previously demonstrated that secreted MMP-2 is tethered to the cell surface and activated by MT1-MMP/TIMP-2-dependent mechanism. The resulting cell-surface collagenolytic complex (MT1-MMP)2/TIMP-2/MMP-2 can initiate (MT1-MMP) and complete (MMP-2) degradation of an underlying collagen fibril. The following question remained: What is the mechanism of substrate recognition involving the two structures of relatively restricted mobility, the cell surface enzymatic complex and a collagen fibril embedded in the ECM? Here we demonstrate that all the components of the complex are capable of processive movement on a surface of the collagen fibril. The mechanism of MT1-MMP movement is a biased diffusion with the bias component dependent on the proteolysis of its substrate, not adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis. It is similar to that of the MMP-1 Brownian ratchet we described earlier. In addition, both MMP-2 and MMP-9 as well as their respective complexes with TIMP-1 and -2 are capable of Brownian diffusion on the surface of native collagen fibrils without noticeable dissociation while the dimerization of MMP-9 renders the enzyme immobile. Most instructive is the finding that the inactivation of the enzymatic activity of MT1-MMP has a detectable negative effect on the cell force developed in miniaturized 3D tissue constructs. We propose that the collagenolytic complex (MT1-MMP)2/TIMP-2/MMP-2 represents a Mobile Cell Surface – Collagen Substratum Interface. The biological implications of MT1-MMP acting as a molecular ratchet tethered to the cell surface in complex with MMP-2 suggest a new mechanism for the role of spatially regulated peri-cellular proteolysis in cell-matrix interactions. 相似文献

Activation of proMMP-2 by MT1-MMP is considered to be a critical event in cancer cell invasion. In the activation step, TIMP-2 bound to MT1-MMP on the cell surface acts as a receptor for proMMP-2. Subsequently, adjacent TIMP-2-free MT1-MMP activates the proMMP-2 in the ternary complex. In this study, we demonstrate that MT1-MMP forms a homophilic complex through the hemopexin-like (PEX) domain that acts as a mechanism to keep MT1-MMP molecules close together to facilitate proMMP-2 activation. Deletion of the PEX domain in MT1-MMP, or swapping the domain with the one derived from MT4-MMP, abolished the ability to activate proMMP-2 on the cell surface without affecting the proteolytic activities. In addition, expression of the mutant MT1-MMP lacking the catalytic domain (MT1PEX-F) efficiently inhibited complex formation of the full-length enzymes and activation of pro MMP-2. Furthermore, expression of MT1PEX-F inhibited proMMP-2 activation and Matrigel invasion activity of invasive human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells. These findings elucidate a new function of the PEX domain: regulating MT1-MMP activity on the cell surface, which accelerates cellular invasiveness in the tissue. 相似文献

The membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) has been shown to be a key enzyme in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. MT1-MMP hydrolyzes a variety of extracellular matrix components and is a physiological activator of pro-MMP-2, another MMP involved in malignancy. Pro-MMP-2 activation by MT1-MMP involves the formation of an MT1-MMP.tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2). pro-MMP-2 complex on the cell surface that promotes the hydrolysis of pro-MMP-2 by a neighboring TIMP-2-free MT1-MMP. The MT1-MMP. TIMP-2 complex also serves to reduce the intermolecular autocatalytic turnover of MT1-MMP, resulting in accumulation of active MT1-MMP (57 kDa) on the cell surface. Evidence shown here in Timp2-null cells demonstrates that pro-MMP-2 activation by MT1-MMP requires TIMP-2. In contrast, a C-terminally deleted TIMP-2 (Delta-TIMP-2), unable to form ternary complex, had no effect. However, Delta-TIMP-2 and certain synthetic MMP inhibitors, which inhibit MT1-MMP autocatalysis, can act synergistically with TIMP-2 in the promotion of pro-MMP-2 activation by MT1-MMP. In contrast, TIMP-4, an efficient MT1-MMP inhibitor, had no synergistic effect. These studies suggest that under certain conditions the pericellular activity of MT1-MMP in the presence of TIMP-2 can be modulated by synthetic and natural (TIMP-4) MMP inhibitors. 相似文献
