Genes are ordered by hierarchical clustering. Sample labels: HC1-4: hypoxia controls; HT1-4: hypoxia TIMP-3-treated. (C) Protein–protein interaction (PPI) network corresponding to genes downregulated by TIMP-3 under hypoxia (P <0.01 by quasi-likelihood F-test in edgeR, |log 2 FC| > 0.58), generated using STRING (default interaction score ≥ 0.400). All nodes represent the initially filtered gene list and are included to show the network context and highlight that only Pbk and Racgap1 display a documented interaction. Line colors indicate evidence type: green, text mining; pink, experimental; black, co-expression. Combined interaction score: 0.711. (D) RT-qPCR validation. RNA-seq (left) and RT-qPCR (right) data shown as log 2 FC versus the mean of the controls (mean ± SD, n = 4). RNA-seq: log 2 FC were calculated from normalized CPM values; § FDR < 0.05 (hypoxia effect), # P < 0.01 (TIMP-3 effect) by quasi-likelihood F-test applied to raw counts (edgeR); RT-qPCR: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 by unpaired two-sided Welch’s t-test on log 2 FC values (-ΔΔCq). CPM, counts per million; Ctrl, control.

    The TIMP3 variant Y191C mitigated the cell viability and promoted the apoptosis of ARPE-19. ( A ) CCK-8 assay demonstrated a significant reduction in cell viability in the MT group compared to the empty vector control group 24 hours post-LPS treatment ( P= 0.0096), while no significant difference was observed in the WT group ( P= 0.7128).

    The Y191C variant inhibited the interaction between TIMP3 and MMP proteins. ( A and B ) The Y191C mutation increases FLAG-TIMP3 complex formation, selectively enhancing interaction with MMP9 proteolytic fragments (45~55 kDa) while reducing MMP2 binding. ( C – E ) Following LPS administration, MMP2 expression levels in the empty vector control group remained comparable to those in the normal control group. However, in the MT group, MMP2 expression was significantly elevated compared to the empty vector group ( P < 0.0001, 1.84 ± 0.21-fold) and showed a modest increase compared to the WT control group ( P= 0.0889, 1.15 ± 0.13-fold). Additionally, MMP9 expression in the MT group was markedly higher than in the empty vector group after LPS treatment ( P < 0.0172, 2.12 ± 0.41-fold). ( F ) IF staining revealed nuclear localization of MMP2 in ARPE-19 cells of the WT group, whereas in the MT group, MMP2 expression extended into the cytoplasm of ARPE-19 cells. n=3/group. “n” refers to the number of independent biological replicates.
