OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of keratocyte-derived MT1-MMP on calf pulmonary artery endothelial cell (CPAE) proliferation and migration. METHODS Keratocyte lines were generated from MT1-MMP knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice. WT keratocytes were transfected with WT or mutant MT1-MMP DNAs (DeltaTC or E240A). The effect of keratocyte-conditioned media on CPAE proliferation and migration was assayed. RESULTS KO keratocyte conditioned media resulted in the greatest increase of CPAE cell proliferation (190.5+/-6.0%; p<0.01). WT keratocyte conditioned media showed higher CPAE proliferation (155.4+/-3.6%) than WT/MT1-MMP-transfected keratocytes (119.7+/-2.2%; p<0.001). Migration assays confirmed these findings. CONCLUSIONS Keratocyte-derived MT1-MMP has anti-angiogenic effects in CPAE cells.

D002461 Cell Line, Transformed Eukaryotic cell line obtained in a quiescent or stationary phase which undergoes conversion to a state of unregulated growth in culture, resembling an in vitro tumor. It occurs spontaneously or through interaction with viruses, oncogenes, radiation, or drugs/chemicals. Transformed Cell Line,Cell Lines, Transformed,Transformed Cell Lines

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
D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Corneas
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
D015854 Up-Regulation A positive regulatory effect on physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, or systemic level. At the molecular level, the major regulatory sites include membrane receptors, genes (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION), mRNAs (RNA, MESSENGER), and proteins. Receptor Up-Regulation,Upregulation,Up-Regulation (Physiology),Up Regulation
