BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes which degrade extracellular matrix and basement membrane. There is much evidence that their increased expression is correlated with tumor aggressiveness in various carcinomas. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are the specific inhibitors of MMPs. MMPs and TIMPs are considered to play an important role in carcinoma invasion and metastasis. We hypothesized that MMPs and TIMPs also play an important role in thymoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 34 thymoma cases. The mRNA levels of MMP-1, -7, and -9, TIMP-1 and -2, and GAPDH were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction using LightCycler. We also performed immunohistochemistry for TIMP-1. RESULTS: The TIMP-1/GAPDH mRNA expression level was significantly higher in invasive (stage II-IV) thymomas (means +/- SE, 81.4 +/- 28.1) than in noninvasive (stage I) thymomas (30.9 +/- 8.3, P = 0.026). The MMP-1/GAPDH mRNA expression level was also higher in invasive thymomas (19.7 +/- 7.5) than in non invasive thymomas (2.26 +/- 1.72, P = 0.020). Immunopositivity of TIMP-1 was localized in stromal cells adjacent to the advancing margin of the tumor. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that TIMPs and MMPs play an important role in the invasion of thymoma.  相似文献

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade protein components of the extra-cellular matrix. The necessity of breakdown of physical barriers in the fertilization process suggests that MMPs, along with their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs), might be involved in this task. We have examined the presence of MMP and TIMP in normal and abnormal human sperm samples by gel zymography and Western blot analysis. Thirty-five normal sperm samples and 35 abnormal sperm samples were examined in this study. Gel zymography showed 92-, 72-, 62-, and 28-kd molecular-weight bands exhibiting gelatin-degrading activity in both normal and abnormal sperm samples. The 92-, 72-, and 62-kd bands with gelatinolytic activity are consistent with pro-MMP-9, pro-MMP-2, and active MMP-2, respectively (pro-MMP being the zymogen of MMP). Western blot analysis showed the presence of TIMP-1 in both normal and abnormal sperm samples. A higher 28-kd activity and a lower 92-kd MMP activity in normal sperm samples relative to abnormal samples were detected. No marked difference in TIMP-1, 72-kd, and 62-kd release was observed between normal and abnormal sperm samples. In conclusion, this is the first report of MMP activity in normal and abnormal human sperm samples and of TIMP presence in sperm samples. The data indicate a different MMP profile between normal and abnormal sperm samples, with a higher 28-kd activity and a lower 92-kd MMP activity in normal relative to abnormal samples.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Venous dilatation and wall thickening are part of the maturation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). However, the underlying mechanism of AVF remodeling remains unknown. We therefore studied whether matrix remodeling elicited by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may contribute to AVF maturation. METHODS: A femoral AVF model in rats was established by invagination of the distal end of the left femoral artery into the femoral vein after venotomy (fistula group). In the sham group, the left femoral artery was cut, but venous invagination was not performed. Changes in the hemodynamics and the diameter of the iliac vein were studied on days 3, 14, and 28, then the iliac vein was removed and examined for changes in wall thickness and expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, type 4 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-4), and collagen I and III by immunohistochemical staining or Western blotting. RESULTS: Femoral AVF resulted in a sixfold increase in blood flow in the fistula iliac vein and a gradual, but significant, increase in the thickness of the intima and media and marked up-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9, down-regulation of TIMP-4, as well as degradation of collagens I and III. The collagen I/III ratio was significantly higher in the 14-day fistula group (1.44 +/- 0.32) than in the sham group (0.82 +/- 0.15) and was even higher in the 28-day fistula group (1.76 +/- 0.21). CONCLUSION: The present results confirmed our hypothesis that a high blood flow rate in the fistula vein affects the expression of MMPs and TIMP-4, resulting in the remodeling or maturation of the AVF. Remodeling is associated with degradation of collagen, with an increase in the collagen I/III ratio.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The expression of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) 1 in tumour tissue from patients with colorectal carcinoma has been reported to be related to disease progression. However, the clinical significance of plasma TIMP-1 has not been fully elucidated. METHODS: The plasma level of TIMP-1 protein was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in samples from 54 patients who underwent resection of the primary tumour. RESULTS: Plasma TIMP-1 levels were associated significantly with depth of invasion and metastasis to lymph nodes and liver. Circulating TIMP-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with serosal invasion, liver metastases and Dukes' stage C tumours. Using a cut-off value of 160 ng/ml, serosal invasion and Dukes' C stage could be predicted with an accuracy of 68.5 per cent. With a cut-off value of 170 ng/ml, metastasis to the lymph node and liver could be predicted with an accuracy of 66.7 and 70.4 per cent respectively. These values were greater than those for carcinoembryonic antigen and CA19-9. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that the plasma concentration of TIMP-1 correlates with both invasion and metastasis in patients with colorectal carcinoma.  相似文献

This study investigates the effects of a broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (MMP-i) on the rate of closure, hydroxyproline deposition, and macrophage infiltration in healing wounds. Full-thickness excisional wounds were created on the dorsal surface of hairless mice. Two experimental groups were used to measure rates of wound closure: (a) MMP-i administration (0.03, 0.3, 3.0, and 30 microg/mL) on days 0-1 postwounding (inflammatory phase) and (b) MMP-i administration (0.03, 0.3, 3.0, and 30 microg/mL) on days 6-8 postwounding (proliferative phase). Additionally, hydroxyproline deposition and percent macrophage infiltration were measured in skin wound margins on days 2, 8, and 16 postwounding. MMP-i administration at concentrations of 0.03, 0.3, and 3.0 microg/mL on days 0-1 postwounding significantly (p <.05) increased the rate of wound closure. No significant effect on the rate of wound closure was observed with MMP-i administration on days 6-8 postwounding. Hydroxyproline deposition was significantly (p <.05) increased on day 8 postwounding, and the percent macrophage infiltration was significantly (p <.05) decreased on day 2 postwounding by MMP-i administration on days 0-1 postwounding. These experiments demonstrate that MMP-i administration during the inflammatory phase significantly affects several characteristics of wound healing. We postulate that these effects may be attributed to decreased degradation of ECM components, increased concentrations of endogenous growth factors, and a shortened inflammatory phase.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Formation of intra-abdominal adhesions depends, in part, on the activity of serine proteinases. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are required for epithelialization of skin wounds but their involvement in mesothelialization of peritoneal wounds and in adhesion pathogenesis is not known. Early tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels have been proposed to reflect propensity to adhesion formation. OBJECTIVE: The impact of MMP activity and secreted TNF-alpha on peritoneal adhesion formation and healing was investigated through systemic administration of the synthetic broad-spectrum MMP and TNF-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitor GM 6001. METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats of 4-6 weeks of age were injected subcutaneously daily with GM 6001 100 mg/kg (n = 12) or vehicle (n = 10) starting two days before surgery. In each rat, two standardized peritoneal wounds, 20 mm x 5 mm, were made. One peritoneal wound was sutured whereas the contralateral wound healed by secondary intention. Adhesion formation and peritoneal healing, cell proliferation, and hydroxyproline concentrations were evaluated on postoperative day 7. RESULTS: Total serum TNF-alpha levels increased in vehicle-treated rats (p = 0.019) while GM 6001 treatment effectively prevented the rise in the postoperative phase (p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in the extent of adhesion formation (p = 0.67) between control (65.0%) and GM 6001-treated (61.5%) animals, or peritoneal wound healing or cell proliferation. Hydroxyproline levels increased in the wounds (p = 0.014) but were not different between the two groups (p = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS: Lack of a striking effect of the MMP and TACE antagonist GM 6001 on postoperative adhesions suggests that MMP activity and TNF-alpha might not be major adhesiogenic factors.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors in mono-iodoacetate-induced arthritis in rats. DESIGN: The ability of compounds to inhibit MMPs in vitro was assessed kinetically using a quenched fluorescent substrate. Rats were injected with iodoacetate intraarticularly in one knee joint and damage to the tibial plateau was evaluated from digitized images captured using an image analyser and by histology. Collagenase and gelatinase activity in cartilage from iodoacetate injected knees were evaluated using(3)H-rat type I collagen and gelatin zymography, respectively. RESULTS: Collagenase and gelatinase activity significantly increased in the knee cartilage of rats injected with iodoacetate with peak activity by day 7. Three MMP inhibitors were examined for their efficacy in the rat iodoacetate-induced arthritis model. Significant (P< 0.05) inhibition of cartilage damage was observed in animals treated orally with 35 mg/kg b.i.d. of the three different MMP inhibitors. Inhibition of cartilage damage by the MMP inhibitors ranged from 36-42%. CONCLUSION: MMP inhibitors are partially protective against cartilage and subchondral bone damage induced by iodoacetate. These results support an important role for MMPs in mediating the joint damage in this model of arthritis.  相似文献

Wound strength depends on the balance between collagen synthesis and degradation; however, the role of collagen breakdown in wound healing is still not well understood. We investigated the role of matrix metalloproteinases in wound healing by using BE16627B, a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor. Identical surgical procedures consisting of a colonic anastomosis (single-layer, inverted) and implantation of an osmotic pump in the back were performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 270 to 290 grams. The animals were randomly assigned to receive either BE16627B (n = 10) dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide and diluted with ethylene glycol at a dosage of 2.4 mg/rat/day for 3 days or the vehicle solution alone (n = 11). The solutions were administered through the surgically implanted osmotic pumps. The animals were killed 4 days after surgery, and the colonic bursting pressure (mm Hg) and hydroxyproline concentration (μg/mg wet tissue, index of collagen) were measured. The administration of BE16627B enhanced colonic anastomotic healing, as measured by the increase in the colonic bursting pressure (160 ±12 vs. 125 ±7 mm Hg; P <0.05) and the increase in the soluble fraction of collagen (0.27 ± 0.01 vs. 0.21 ± 0.01 μg/mg wet tissue; P <0.01) in the anastomosis. Histologic examination of the tissue revealed that the use of BE 1662 7B resulted in the preservation of the multilayered colonic structure and increased the network of collagen between both ends of the colon in the thickening submucosal layer. These findings demonstrate that the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activity influences colonic anastomotic healing, indicating a potential mechanism for enhancing anastomotic healing.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), a disorder characterized by rapid development and progression of obliterative vasculopathy in the transplanted heart, continues to be a major cause of graft failure in long-surviving human transplants. The mechanisms and histopathologic processes of CAV remain unknown. Previous animal studies have shown that inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) prevents migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells in CAV. In this study, we hypothesized that MMPs may be expressed in and may play an important role in CAV. METHODS: An F344-to-WKAH rat heterotopic heart transplantation model was used. Tacrolimus was administered intramuscularly 14 days after transplantation to prevent acute rejection and to allow the development of CAV. We divided the animals into 2 groups according to post-operative treatment: an ONO group received an MMP inhibitor (ONO-4817) daily by oral gavage for 14 days after transplantation (n = 6), and a control (n = 6) group received no treatment. Grafts were harvested 60 days after treatment. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical staining revealed that MMP-2 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) were expressed more strongly in the neointima and media of the control CAV animals than in the ONO-CAV animals. The animals given ONO-4817 exhibited a significant decrease in the percentage of affected vessels, in the percentage of intimal proliferation, in the intima-to-media ratio, and in the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that MMP-2 and TIMP-2 play an important role in the development of CAV and that the use of an MMP inhibitor (ONO-4817) may prevent neointimal proliferation in patients with CAV.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are associated with chronic inflammation, disruption of medial elastin, and increased local production of elastolytic matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The purpose of this study was to investigate how treatment with a hydroxamate-based MMP antagonist (RS 132908) might affect the development of experimental AAAs. METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent intraluminal perfusion of the abdominal aorta with 50 units of porcine pancreatic elastase followed by treatment for 14 days with RS 132908 (100 mg/kg/day subcutaneously; n = 8) or with vehicle alone (n = 6). The external aortic diameter (AD) was measured in millimeters before elastase perfusion and at death, with AAA defined as an increase in AD (DeltaAD) of at least 100%. Aortic wall elastin and collagen concentrations were measured with assays for desmosine and hydroxyproline, and fixed aortic tissues were examined by light microscopy. RESULTS: AAAs developed in all vehicle-treated rats, with a mean AD (+/- SE) that increased from 1.60 +/- 0.03 mm before perfusion to 5.98 +/- 1.02 mm on day 14 (DeltaAD = 276.4 +/- 67.7%). AAAs developed in only five of eight animals (62.5%) after MMP inhibition, with a mean AD that increased from 1.56 +/- 0.05 mm to 3.59 +/- 0.34 mm (DeltaAD = 128.1 +/- 18.7%; P <.05, vs vehicle). The overall inhibition of aortic dilatation attributable to RS 132908 was 53.6 +/- 6.8%. Aortic wall desmosine fell by 85.4% in the vehicle-treated rats (1210.6 +/- 87.8 pmol/sample to 176.7 +/- 33.4 pmol/sample; P <.05) but only by 65.6% in the animals treated with RS 312908 (416.2 +/- 120.5 pmol/sample). In contrast, hydroxyproline was not significantly affected by either elastase perfusion or drug treatment. Microscopic examination revealed the preservation of pericellular elastin and a greater degree of fibrocollagenous wall thickening after MMP inhibition, with no detectable difference in the extent of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Systemic MMP inhibition suppresses aneurysmal dilatation in the elastase-induced rodent model of AAA. Consistent with its direct inhibitory effect on various MMPs, RS 132908 promotes the preservation of aortic elastin and appears to enhance a profibrotic response within the aortic wall. Hydroxamate-based MMP antagonists may therefore be useful in the development of pharmacologic approaches to the suppression of AAAs.  相似文献
