Matrix metalloproteinase-2 is known to be involved in pathological processes such as tumor invasion or rheumatoid arthritis. A soil microorganism producing siderophore under low iron stress $(up\;to\;5\;{\mu}m\;of\;iron)$ was identified as Burkholderia sp. Hydroxamate type siderophore produced by Burkholderia sp. CAS-5 was partially purified. MMP inhibitory activity of siderophore was confirmed by gelatin zymography. The $Zn^{2+}-chelating$ activity of siderophore correlated with the inhibition of MMP-2 activity.

The inhibitory effects of methanol extracts of 165 medicinal herbs on matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity were investigated. Amongst the herbal extracts, Youngia denticulate, Platycarya strobilacea, Sedum kamtschaticum, Euscaphis japonica, and Comus controversa showed a significant inhibitory effect with above 80% at $1\;{\mu}g/ml$. Above mentioned five kind extracts, which exclude polyphenols and/or tannin by techniques for their removal, showed a mild inhibitory effect on MMP-2 activity except for Y. denticulate at the same concentration.

Background: The relationship between the degree of expression of matrix metalloproteinases or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases and venous reflux remains to be investigated. Materials and Methods: Primary varicose vein tissues were obtained from 23 patients, 18 females and 5 males, aged from 19 to 73. Cephalic or basilic veins were obtained for the control group from 10 patients who underwent vascular access for maintenance hemodialysis. Two operative techniques (high ligation with stripping or endovenous laser coagulation) were used. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and 13 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 in the varicose vein group and control group was assessed semi-quantitatively by immunohistochemical slides stained with primary antibodies. Results: Twenty (87%) of the varicose vein group patients had greater or lesser saphenous vein diseases with reflux. The focal weak (+) stain for matrix metalloproteinases-2, and 13, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-4 was dominant in the varicose vein group; the focal or diffuse strong stain (++ or +++) was prevalent in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (p<0.01). The degree of reflux and the duration of symptoms were not significantly related to the expression of MMP-13 (p=0.317 and p=0.654, respectively). Conclusion: Further study should be performed to investigate the relationship between the clinical characteristics related to venous hypertension or reflux and expression of MMPs and TIMP in varicose veins.

Marine ecosystems are often characterized by a high biological diversity, and it corresponds to a high chemical diversity. Up to present, more than 20,000 new bioactive substances have been isolated from marine organisms, where considerable numbers of these naturally occurring derivatives are developed as potential candidates for pharmaceutical application. In this process, screening of natural products from marine organisms that could potentially inhibit the expression of metalloproteinases has gained a huge popularity. Cancer is considered as one of the deadliest diseases in the medical field. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) can degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components and play important roles in a variety of biological and pathological processes. Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) have been identified as potential therapeutic candidates for metastasis, arthritis, chronic inflammation and wrinkle formation.

In chronic airway inflammatory diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis, it has been suggested that matrix metalloproteinases secreted from infiltrating neutrophil contribute the pathogenesis of the disease and have been a focus of intense investigation. We report here that hamster tracheal surface epithelial goblet cells (HTSE cells) produce matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2). Matrix metalloproteinase activities were investigated using [$^3H$]collagen-digestion assay and gelatin zymography. The subtype of matrix metalloproteinases expressed from HTSE cells was MMP-2 (gelatinase A), which was determined by Western blot with various subtype selective anti-matrix metalloproteinase antibodies. The MMP-2 and TIMP-2 cDNAs from HTSE cells were partially cloned by RT-PCR and they reveal more than 90% of sequence homology with those from human, rat and mouse. The collagenolytic activity was increased with the secretory differentiation of the HTSE cell and it was found that zymogen activation was responsible for the increased MMP-2 activity in HTSE cells. The results from the present study suggest that the metaplastic secretory differentiation of airway goblet cells may affect chronic airway inflammatory process by augmenting the zymogen activation of MMP-2.

Angiogenesis is a fundamental process by which new blood vessels are formed. It is essential in embryo development, and wound healing. Furthermore, malignant tumor growth and metastasis are also angiogenesis-dependent. In the catilage tissue, normal angiogenesis process is suppressed. In fact, it was reported that angiogenesis-inhibitory substances were isolated from the extracts of cow and shark catilage tissue. In order to isolate genes involved in the regulation of angiogenesis from a catilage fish, we constructed a shark cDNA library from Scylliohinus torazame. We then screened the library using hyman tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) gene as a probe. Among the 4 X 10$^{4}$ plaques screened, we isolated 2 positive clones (T-1, T-2). Restriction enzyme analysis revealed that the T-1 clone contains 0.8 kb cDNA insert, and the T-2 clone contains 1.2 kb and 2.2 kb inserts, respectively. Further DNA sequence analysis shows that the DNA sequence of the T-1 clone is 53% homologous to that of the human TIMP-1 gene.

The present work was undertaken to evaluate the antimetastatic potential of capsaicin (8­methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) by measuring its effects on matrix metalloproteinase activity, cell invasion and lung metastasis. Significant inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity by capsaicin (100 $\mu$M) was detected by gelatin zymography. In vitro invasion assay showed capsaicin (50, 100 $\mu$M) reduced tumor cell invasion ($28-40\%$). Capsaicin (i.p., 2.5 mg/kg) inhibited development of lung colonization ($58\%$). These results suggest that capsaicin prevents metastasis in part through suppression of invasion of B16F10 melanoma cells by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-2 responsible for degradation of extracellular matrix.

Tumor invasion is composed of four steps: cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, degradation of the extracellular matrix components, tumor cell motility followed by cell detachment. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important proteinases that associated with degradation of matrix component. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenotic constituent of green tea. In the study, we examined the anti-invasive and MMP activity suppression effects of EGCG in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-23l human breast cancer cells were cultured with various concentrations 0 - 100 μM of EGCG. EGCG significantly inhibited the cell adhesion to the fibronectin. Cell motility through gelatin filter and invasion to Matrigel were inhibited dose-dependently by EGCG treatment. EGCG also inhibited the activities of MMP-2, -9 and the amount of MMP-9 (α = 0.05). Therefore, EGCG may contribute to the potential beneficial food component to prevent the invasion and metastasis in breast cancer. (Korean J Nutrition 38(2): 104～111, 2005)

Our aim was to test the hypothesis that preoperative serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) and -9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) levels correlate with pathological features. Serum levels of MMP-7, and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were determined in 90 bladder cancer patients and 40 healthy controls using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Preoperative serum MMP-7 and MMP-9 levels were significantly higher in cancer patients than control groups (p<0.001). In contast, serum TIMP-1 levels were lower (p<0.001). Alteration in MMP-7, and MMP-9, and TIMP-1 production may contribute to tumor angiogenesis and be associated with clinic-pathological features.
