Peroxynitrite, via post‐translational modifications to target proteins, contributes to cardiovascular injury and cancer. Since tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐4 (TIMP‐4), the activity of which is impaired in both pathological conditions, has several amino acid residues susceptible to peroxynitrite, we investigated its role as a potential target of peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite‐induced nitration and oligomerization of TIMP‐4 attenuated its inhibitory activity against MMP‐2 activity and endothelial or tumor cell invasiveness. Moreover, cell treatment with peroxynitrite promoted the nitration of endogenous TIMP‐4. HPLC/ESI‐MS/MS analysis of peroxynitrite‐treated TIMP‐4 showed modifications at Y114, Y195, Y188 and Y190. In conclusion, TIMP‐4 nitration might be a potential mechanism contributing to cardiovascular disease and cancer.
