Multiple forms of metalloproteinase inhibitors were found in the serum-free conditioned medium of the EJ-1 human bladder carcinoma cell line by reverse zymography assay with gelatinase A as the indicator enzyme. Two novel forms of inhibitor with apparent molecular masses of 18 and 22 kDa on nonreducing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), together with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) and TIMP-2, were purified from the conditioned medium by a series of chromatographic steps. Structural analysis showed that the 18-kDa inhibitor is a two-chain form of TIMP-2 (tc-TIMP-2) produced by proteolytic processing, and the 22-kDa inhibitor may be a partially glycosylated form of TIMP. The purified tc-TIMP-2 was separated into a 17-kDa peptide and a small peptide of about 2.5 kDa by reducing SDS-PAGE and into four isoforms with pI 7.6, 7.3, 7.2, and 6.8 by isoelectric focusing. tc-TIMP-2 has essentially the same inhibitory activity as TIMP-2 toward gelatinase A, collagenase, stromelysin, and matrilysin. Unlike TIMP-2, however, tc-TIMP-2 does not bind to the latent precursor fo gelatinase A. Similar two-chain forms of TIMP-2 were produced by its partial digestion with trypsin or less effectively with plasmin. These results suggest that proteolytic processing of TIMP-2 plays a role in the regulation of gelatinase A activity in the extracellular matrix.
