We demonstrate in this study that both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 are major serum factors that stimulate the induction of TIMP-1 mRNA in quiescent human gingival fibroblasts (Gin-1 cells) at mid-G1 (6-9 h after serum stimulation) of the cell cycle, but not that of TIMP-2. When we chased the secretion of both TIMP proteins into culture medium containing 10% FCS freed of both TIMPs, TIMP-2 secretion rose to the level in 10% FCS after 24 h, but TIMP-1 secretion remained at a fairly low level even after 3 days, thus reflecting a contrastive difference in the induction of both TIMP mRNAs. The stimulating activity of TIMP-1 on the expression of the TIMP-1 gene switched over to inhibitory activity, when the TIMP-1 concentration in the culture medium exceeded about 30 ng/ml. The depletion of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 from FCS affected remarkably the induction of c-jun and c-fos mRNAs, but not that of c-ets-1 mRNA. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2-dependent expression of AP-1 protein was further demonstrated by using nuclear extracts of Gin-1 cells in an electrophoretic mobility shift assay.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
