Increased Neovascularization in Mice Lacking Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-3
1 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) is a matrix-bound inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The authors have previously determined a novel function of TIMP-3 to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated angiogenesis. Here, the authors examined the in vivo angiogenic phenotype of ocular vessels in mice deficient in TIMP-3. METHODS: VEGF-mediated corneal...
