1	11423724	Addition of exogenous TGF-beta1 to mesangial cells incubated in 5 mM glucose replicated the high glucose effect by producing a significant decrease in MMP-2 levels with a concurrent increase in TIMP-2 levels.
2	11423724	Furthermore, glucose-induced inhibition of MMP-2 activity was completely blocked by neutralization of TGF-beta1 with anti-TGF-beta1 antibody.
3	11423724	We conclude that the decrease in MMP-2 activity induced by glucose loading is mediated via TGF-beta1.
4	12921671	The imbalance induced by TGF-beta(1) between the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 may play a critical role in the pathological fibrosis of anterior and posterior subcapsular during the development of diabetic cataract.
5	16728425	To further examine the molecular mechanisms involved, we evaluated the effects of high glucose (30 mM) or Ang-II on MMP-2, TIMP-2 and collagen synthesis in proximal tubule cells, and investigated whether MMP-2 and TIMP-2 are regulated via the TGF-beta1 pathway.
6	16728425	In cultured cells, both high glucose and Ang-II induced significant increases in TGF-beta1, TIMP-2, and in collagen synthesis, and significant decreases in MMP-2 gene expression and activity, and thus disrupted the balance between MMP-2 and TIMP-2.
7	19619490	Exposure of cells to high glucose induced a rapid increase in cell surface levels of the TbetaRI and TbetaRII receptors and a rapid activation of TGF-beta ligand by matrix metalloproteinases, including MMP-2 and MMP-9.
