Activation of Macrophage Promatrix Metalloproteinase-9 by Lipopolysaccharide-Associated Proteinases

Abstract: LPS induces an up-regulation of promatrix metalloproteinase-9 (proMMP9) gene expression in cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. We demonstrate here that LPS preparations are also able to activate proMMP9 made by human macrophages or THP-1 cells via LPS-associated proteinases, which cleave the N-terminal propeptide at a site or sites close to the one cleaved upon activation with organomercurial compounds. LPS-associated proteinases are serine proteinases that are able to cleave denatured collagens (gelatin… Show more

“…18 However, maturation of IL-1␤ requires a large K ϩ efflux from the cell either via the P2X 7 pathway or via the K ϩ ionophore nigericin, 19 while MMP-9 precursor is activated in vivo by other members of the MMP family such as MMP-3 (stromelysin) 10 or by variant proteinases such as LPSassociated proteinases. 11 Furthermore, LPS activation of monocytes is required for ATP-induced IL-1␤ or IL-18 release but not for ATP-induced MMP-9 release, making the latter applicable to PBMCs (1 ϫ 10 7 /mL) with wild-type P2X7 receptors were pretreated with or without brefeldin A (10 g/mL), monensin (5 g/mL), or cycloheximide (50 g/mL) for 60 minutes in NaCl medium with 0.1 mM CaCl2 and washed once. Cells then were resuspended at 2 ϫ 10 7 /mL in the same medium with the same concentration of inhibitors, followed by incubation with or without 1 mM ATP (gray bar) or 100 nM PMA (dark gray bar) at 37°C for 30 minutes.…”

“…8 Besides the inhibitory effect of TIMP-1, MMP-9 activity also is regulated at various levels from production to secretion, including transcription of the gene by cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-␣ (TNF-␣) and interleukin 1␤ (IL-1␤) or by cellular interactions such as cell-cell contact between monocytes and activated T lymphocytes, activation of pro-enzyme by other MMPs, 9,10 or by variant proteinases such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-associated proteinases. 11 The P2X 7 receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel activated by extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and highly expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes. Activation of this receptor by exposure to extracellular ATP opens a cation selective channel that allows Ca 2ϩ and Na ϩ influx and K ϩ efflux.…”

“…50 Lipopolysaccharide-associated proteinases have the ability to activate MMP-9 zymogens in vitro. 51 In addition, lipopolysaccharide produces chemotactic gradients that will attract neutrophils to the damaged intestine, further enhancing the activity of MMP-9. 52 Intestinal lumen-derived lipopolysaccharide and pancreatic trypsin could thus serve as cofactors in the recruitment and activation of MMP-9 in intestinal I/R.…”
