CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We compared (1) the histopathological findings in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and aortoiliac occlusive disease (AOD); (2) the expression of MMP-2/MMP-9 and TIMP-1/TIMP-2 in aortic layers, inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), aiming to identify the common underlying pathogenic mechanisms of the disease development. 29687775 2017
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The TIMP2 gene promoter polymorphism was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction, followed by restriction enzyme analysis and pyrosequencing in 128 patients affected by AAA and in 180 individuals included as references. 24534323 2015
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE Similar mRNA upregulation of TNF-α, interleukin-1β, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 was observed in the AAAs, and TG2 and TNF-α were colocalized in the aortic walls at 1 week. 20615646 2010
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Decreased TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 expression in the extracellular matrix of the walls of AAAs has been shown in several studies. 17899257 2007
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Although genes for TIMP-1, -2 and -3 tended to be upregulated in AAA, relative expression levels of MMP-1 to TIMP-1, MMP-1 to TIMP-2, MMP-1 to TIMP-3, and MMP-3 to TIMP-2 were still higher in AAA than in non-dilated regions (1.12 +/- 0.63 versus 0.10 +/- 0.03, 4.13 +/- 1.12 versus 0.43 +/- 0.11, 1.61 +/- 0.59 versus 0.14 +/- 0.03, and 7.81 +/- 1.60 versus 2.56 +/- 0.76, respectively, P < 0.05). 15530910 2004
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The remodeling of the aortic wall in AAA and AOD involves gene activation of a large and similar spectrum of proteolytic enzymes while the expression of two physiological inhibitors, TIMP-2 and PAI-1, is significantly lower in AAA compared to AOD. 14522424 2003
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We analyzed TIMP1 and TIMP2 coding sequences in 12 individuals with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), one individual with AAA and intracranial aneurysms (IA), four individuals with IA and two clinically unaffected individuals. 10372551 1999
CUI: C0162871
Disease: Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal
0.080 Biomarker disease BEFREE We analyzed the expression of all known MMPs with established elastolytic activity and TIMPs in human AAA and control tissue. mRNA coding for MMP-9, MMP-2, human macrophage metalloelastase, MMP-7, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were amplified by reverse transcriptase-PCR in control and AAA tissue. 9588507 1998
