Toll-like receptor-mediated, enhanced production of profibrotic TIMP-1 in monocytes from patients with systemic sclerosis: role of serum factors

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether monocytes contribute to matrix deposition in systemic sclerosis (SSc) by production of tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). METHODS: Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and TIMP-1 expression and secretion were measured by qRT-PCR and ELISA in circulatin...
