FEBS letters, 2001•ElsevierADAMTS4 (aggrecanase-1) is considered to play a key role in the degradation of aggrecan
in arthritides. The inhibitory activity of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) to
ADAMTS4 was examined in an assay using aggrecan substrate. Among the four TIMPs,
TIMP-3 inhibited the activity most efficiently with an IC50 value of 7.9 nM, which was at least
44-fold lower than that of TIMP-1 (350 nM) and TIMP-2 (420 nM) and> 250-fold less than that
of TIMP-4 (2 μM for 35% inhibition). These results suggest that TIMP-3 is a potent inhibitor …

These results suggest that TIMP-3 is a potent inhibitor against the aggrecanase activity of ADAMTS4 in vivo.
