    摘要: The present invention is an isolated protein of 21,600 Da which binds to both latent and activated type IV collagenase with high affinity at 1:1 molar stoichiometry, thereby abolishing enzyme activity. The protein is purified by affinity chromatography on solid phase metalloproteinase, or solid phase metalloproteinase substrates which bind the enzyme-inhibitor complex. The complete primary structure of this protein (initially called CSC-21K), as determined by sequencing overlapping peptides spanning the entire protein, reveals homology with a protein called TIMP, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases. In addition, a cDNA for this novel inhibitor, now designated TIMP-2, was cloned from a melanoma cell and its sequence was compared with that of human TIMP-1. Northern blots of melanoma cell mRNA showed two distinct transcripts of 0.9 kb and 3.5 kb which are down-regulated by transforming growth factor-.beta., and are unchanged by phorbol ester treatment. The inhibitor of the present invention may be used for treatment of pathologic conditions resulting from inappropriate degradation of extracellular matrix molecules by matrix metalloproteinases, such as metastatic neoplasia, myocardial infarction, and arthritis. Therapeutic treatments using this inhibitor may include formulations for inhalation and inclusion complexes adapted for buccal or sublingual administration, or administration of a recombinant DNA molecule which expresses a DNA segment that encodes the matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor of this invention.

    摘要: A family of metalloproteinases exist which cleave extracellular matrix molecules. These metalloproteinases are secreted in a latent inactive form and require activation in order to specifically cleave the preferred substrate. A series of peptides have been prepared based on the complete sequence analysis of type IV procollagenase. Peptide inhibitors were synthesized which correspond to cysteine repeat regions and histidine containing regions; the mechanism of action of these peptides involves inhibition of binding of the enzyme to the substrate. Peptide inhibitors were synthesized which correspond to the peptide cleaved off during activation, and constitute a novel class of metalloproteinase inhibitors. These inhibitors are members of a series of peptides which contain the core amino acid sequence RKPRC or analogs thereof. The cysteine residue is required for activity. Affinity purified antibodies directed against specific peptides can be used to a) detect any general metalloproteinase enzyme with the sequence in part VAAHE or PRCGNPD, and distinguish it from other known members of the metalloproteinase family, b) block functional domains resulting in the inhibition of enzyme activity, and c) distinguish latent from activated forms of the enzyme.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and method for real-time delivery of medical tests and related data from laboratories (12) or similar sources (18) to portable communication devices such as mobile phones (14), text-enabled pagers (14) and web-enabled personal digital assistance (PDA's) (14) and other WAP devices (14). The subject system enables physicians to access test results remotely as soon as they become available. Also, the system allows the physician to develop an electronic prescription and submit the electronic prescription to a pharmacy using the portable communications device (14).

    摘要: This invention relates, e.g., to a composition that, at room temperature, when contacted with a sample comprising phosphoproteins, can fix and stabilize cellular phosphoproteins, preserve cellular morphology, and allow the sample to be frozen to generate a cryostat frozen section suitable for molecular analysis. The composition comprises (1) a fixative that stabilizes the proteins in the sample and that has a sufficient water content for a stabilizer and/or a permeability enhancing agent to be soluble therein; (2) a stabilizer, comprising (a) a kinase inhibitor and (b) a phosphatase inhibitor and, optionally, (c) a protease (e.g., proteinase) inhibitor; (3) a permeability enhancing agent; and (4) lactic acid. Methods and kits are described for preserving phosphoproteins, using such a composition. Also described are endogenous surrogate markers for monitoring protein degradation, including the loss of posttranslational modifications (such as phosphorylation), e.g. following removal of a cell or tissue from a subject; and exogenous molecular sentinels (e.g. phosphoproteins attached to magnetic nanoparticles) that allow one to evaluate the processing history of a cellular or tissue population sample.
