Background: Perihematomal edema (PHE) is a major threat leading to poor functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). TIMP-2 is considered to participate in the formation of PHE after ICH by antagonizing the damaging effects of MMP-2. In the early study, the polymorphisms of TIMP-2 rs8179090 have shown to influence the expression of TIMP-2.

Objective: To prove that the severity of PHE was different in ICH patients with different TIMP-2 rs8179090 genotypes.

Methods: In this prospective study, 130 hypertensive ICH patients were enrolled. The poly phisms of rs8179090 in TIMP-2 were determined. The hematoma volume and PHE volume were measured by computed tomography (CT) scan immediately after the onset of ICH, and were measured again one week and two weeks after the onset. Then, the comparison of TIMP-2 rs8179090 genotypes was made.

Results: TIMP-2-418 position (rs8179090) had two genotypes in the studied population, GC and GG. Patients with the GC genotype developed more severe PHE, with a higher incidence of delayed cerebral edema in cerebral hemorrhage than those with the GG genotype.

Conclusion: We have found that the GC genotype group may develop more severe PHE, with an increased incidence of delayed cerebral edema in cerebral hemorrhage.

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) is an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and is highly expressed in breast cancer (BC) cases at diagnosis. However, the genetic investigations for the association of genotypes with BC risk are rather limited. In this study, contribution of rs8179090, rs4789936, rs2009196 and rs7342880 genotypes to BC risk was examined among Taiwan's BC population.

Background/aim: The tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) is a critical inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Along with MMPs, TIMP-2 regulates the breakdown and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membranes. This study investigated the role of genotypes of the TIMP-2 -418G/C (rs8179090) single nucleotide polymorphism on lung risk.

Article Synopsis
  • MMPs and TIMPs play a role in the effectiveness of rtPA therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and can also influence recovery and adverse effects.
  • The study aimed to investigate whether specific genetic variations in the MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-2 genes affect the response to rtPA treatment and the occurrence of side effects in AIS patients.
  • Findings indicated no direct link between these genetic variations and therapy outcomes, but the TT genotype of the MMP-9-1562C/T polymorphism was associated with increased risk of serious complications like intracranial hemorrhage following rtPA treatment.

Introduction: Diverticulosis affects approximately 60% of population after 60th year of age. Diverticular disease is symptomatic diverticulosis characterized by abdominal pain, flatulence and bloating, and bowel habits change. Age and lifestyle are risk factors for diverticulosis, additionally genetic predisposition is postulated.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent metalloendopeptidases that degrades extracellular matrix (ECM) components. MMPs are associated with venous wall remodelling, proliferation, migration, phenotypic and functional transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells and ECM organization under the physiological and pathophysiological conditions. We investigated possible association of genetic promoter polymorphisms of MMP2 (rs243866), MMP8 (rs11225395), MMP9 (rs3918242) and TIMP2 (rs8179090) to varicose veins development in the Slovak population.
