Key result
Adenoviral TIMP-1 gene transfer reduces endothelial cell migration by ~90% versus control.
Why the study?
Does TIMP-1 gene transfer reduce endothelial cell migration in bovine aortic endothelial cells?
Does TIMP-1 gene transfer reduce endothelial cell migration in bovine aortic endothelial cells?
Effect estimate: 89.97 +/- 1.64% reduction
p-value: p=< 0.02
Adenovirus-mediated TIMP-1 gene transfer significantly inhibits endothelial cell migration in vitro, suggesting a potential approach for inhibiting angiogenesis and vascular remodeling.

May inhibit angiogenesis in vitro; hypothesis-generating and leaves open any therapeutic role pending in vivo validation.
Fernandez et al. (1999) studied Angiogenesis / Endothelial cell migration. Gene transfer of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (Ad.TIMP-1) vs. Ad.beta gal (Escherichia coli lac Z) or uninfected cells was evaluated on Endothelial cell migration (Boyden chamber assays with gelatin-coated membranes) (89.97 +/- 1.64% reduction, p=< 0.02). Gene transfer of TIMP-1 using a recombinant adenovirus reduced bovine aortic endothelial cell migration by 89.97% compared to control cells (P < 0.02).
