The evidence for the roles of MMPs and TIMPs in implantation and placentation has remained insufficient in humans, especially during the early stages. Tubal pregnancy has some similarities to normal intrauterine pregnancy and therefore may provide a unique model for implantation studies. In the present study, the expression of MMP-2, -9 and -14, and TIMP-1, -2 and -3 at the feto\u2013maternal interface during tubal pregnancy was examined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. We found that MMP-9 and TIMP-1, -2 and -3 are produced by all types of extravillous cytotrophoblast (EVCT) cells, while MMP-2 and -14 mainly exist in distal column cytotrophoblast (CCT) cells and invasive EVCT cells. Meanwhile, the intensity of MMP-14 and TIMP-1 and -2 increased along the invasive pathway toward maternal interstitium. In addition, MMP-2, -9 and -14 and TIMP-1, -2 and -3 were all detected in the villous CT (VCT) cells. Furthermore, both the mRNA level and immunoreactivity of MMP-9, TIMP-1 and -3 increased, while those of TIMP-2 decreased concurrent with the progression of pregnancy during weeks 3\u20139. The unique expression pattern of various MMPs and TIMPs at the feto\u2013maternal interface suggests that they may have roles in regulating the controlled invasion of trophoblasts during implantation and placentation. Meanwhile, the study provides a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in cellular events during human pregnancy, especially at the initiation stage of implantation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/rep.1.00283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,22]],"date-time":"2004-12-22T17:19:16Z","timestamp":1103735956000},"page":"103-113","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Dynamic
