1 Initial studies using IG-FBP-3-substrate zymography identified several IGFBP-3-degrading proteases with M(r) 52,000-72,000, which were inhibitable by EDTA and were shifted to lower M(r) species after treatment of conditioned medium with an organomercurial, suggesting that they might represent one or more of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

2 Degradation of recombinant human (rh) IGFBP-3 by conditioned media was blocked (> 80% inhibition) by tissue inhibitor of metallo-proteinases-1, a specific inhibitor of all MMPs, while removal of MMPs -1, -2, and -3 from conditioned medium by sequential immunoaffinity and gelatin-Sepharose chromatography resulted in the complete loss of IGFBP-3-degrading proteinase activity.
