Regulation of tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases (TIMPs) expression in the gastric epithelium. (360G-Wellcome-074945_Z_04_A)

£6,396

The aim of this project is to define the mechanisms by which H.pylori infection increases expression of tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases (TIMPs) in gastric mucosal cells, and to determine the consequences for the mucosal remodelling that occurs with infection. The experimental plan is based on our capacity to culture human primary gastric epithelial cells and myofibroblasts transfected with promoter-reporter constructs, to study Helicobacter responses in mice (and determine if they are an useful model) and to identify putative substrates using 2-DG cells and mass spectrometry of selected spots (5,6,7).
