Delayed minocycline inhibits ischemia-activated matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 after experimental stroke

Abstract: Background: Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9) are increased in the brain after experimental ischemic stroke in rats. These two proteases are involved with the degradation of the basal lamina and loss of stability of the blood brain barrier that occurs after ischemia and that is associated with thrombolytic therapy in ischemic stroke. Minocycline is a lipophilic tetracycline and is neuroprotective in several models of brain injury. Minocycline inhibits inflammation, apoptosis and extracellular… Show more

“…In addition, excessive ROS induces DNA damage, which activates P53 and increases P53 protein expression [17]. In ischemic injury, minocycline has been demonstrated to reduce infarct size and neurological deficits in animal models of focal/global cerebral ischemia [45][46][47]. The potential mechanism underlying these neuroprotective effects of minocycline may include the following: inhibitory effect on cell apoptosis via the reduction expression of caspase-3 and poly polymerase-1, inhibitory effect on expression and activity of MMPs, and inhibitory effect on activation of microglia.…”

“…This effect has been studied in various models, and the inhibitory and protective effects have been reported in many cell types, animal models, and clinical trials. Based on in vitro cell culture measurements, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion rat models, and studies on patients with atherosclerotic lesions, vascular aneurysms, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular abnormalities, periodontitis, and metabolic bone diseases, the tetracyclines (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, and chemically modified tetracyclines) have shown different potencies in inhibiting various involving MMPs (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). In these studies, the obtained IC50 values ranged from 5 to 500 µM among the different MMPs.…”

“…It effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier, targets microglia by inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines and NO and reduces their migration to injured neurons [134]. An inhibition of the MMP-9 pathway was described for both minocycline and doxycycline [135,136]. Minocycline has been shown to be neuroprotective in several adult animal models of neurological disorders [137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144].…”
