<h4>Background and aims</h4>Increased levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 [TIMP-1] have been detected in both inflammatory and fibrotic lesions in Crohn's disease. In a murine model of chronic inflammation, fibrosis was associated with an increase in TIMP-1 and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-mediated degradation. We investigated the effect of TIMP-1 deficiency in acute and chronic murine models of colitis.<h4>Methods</h4>Colitis was induced via oral administration of ...[more]
