Increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 correlates with improved outcome in canine cutaneous mast cell tumours

Abstract: Canine mast cell tumour (MCT) is a biologically heterogeneous disease. The extracellular matrix degradation promoted by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been studied in an attempt to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the biological behaviour of tumours. The aim of this study was to characterize the expression of MMP-2 and -9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and -2 in canine cutaneous MCTs and to evaluate their prognostic values. Immunohistochemical staining for MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2 an… Show more

“…Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) prevents the extracellular matrix (ECM) from being decomposed by forming an inhibitory complex with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (Bao et al 2014, Pulz et al 2017. TIMPs are secreted molecules that are natural broad-spectrum inhibitors of MMPs which also control MMP-driven turnover and processing of growth factors as well as cytokines linked to wound repair and regeneration (Clark et al 2008).…”

“…Conversely, ECM degradation may release factors that stimulate angiogenesis, cell proliferation and migration, or inhibit apoptosis . For example, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are expressed under the influence of the ECM, and facilitate invasion and metastasis via degradation of epithelial and blood vessel basement membranes . Compounds that inhibit the adhesion of cancer cells to the ECM may prevent metastasis …”

“…In parallel to histopathological examination, other prognostic indicators such as proliferation markers, KIT‐staining patterns and proteins related to extracellular matrix remodeling have been evaluated. Our research group has also demonstrated that low expression of BAX, one of the key factors of apoptosis, is related to longer survival …”
