Metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in exudative pleural effusions

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the expression of several metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in exudative pleural effusions, and their relationship with inflammatory and fibrinolytic mediators in parapneumonic effusions.The study included 51 parapneumonic effusions (30 empyema or complicated parapneumonic, 21 noncomplicated parapneumonic), 28 tuberculous, 30 malignant and 30 transudates. Inflammatory markers (tumour necrosis factor-a, interleukin-8, polymorphonucl… Show more

“…To our knowledge, only MMP-2 and MMP-9 were previously analysed in the pleural fluid of lung cancer and benign inflammatory patients (Kotyza et al, 2004;Di Carlo et al, 2005Iglesias et al, 2005;Park et al, 2005;Vatansever et al, 2009). We decided to analyse these markers as they belong to three different marker groups that may be related to cancer and/or to inflammatory diseases.…”

“…Il-1β η παραγωγή και έκκριση TIMP-1 στην υπεζωκοτική κοιλότητα αυξάνεται [152,153]. Αναστέλλει όλες τις ΜΜPs, εκτός από τις διαμεμβρανικές MMPs (ΜΤ-ΜΜPs).…”

“…Ο ΤΙΜP-2 ανιχνεύεται σε χαμηλά επίπεδα στα εξιδρώματα ενώ τα επίπεδά του στα διϊδρώματα είναι ακόμη χαμηλότερα και πολλές φορές μη ανιχνεύσιμα [154]. Τα επίπεδα TIMP-2 είναι πολύ χαμηλότερα από εκείνα του TIMP-1 σε αντίστοιχα είδη υπεζωκοτικών συλλογών [153]. Αναστέλλει την MMP2 και MMP9 2-9 φορές πιο αποτελεσματικά σε σχέση με τον TIMP-1 [161].…”
