Effect of heparin on the production of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases by human dermal fibroblasts

Abstract: The influence of heparin and a heparin fragment devoid of anticoagulant activity on the production of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases by human dermal fibroblasts was studied. Doses (0.1-400 microg/ml) responses were performed and data obtained were similar whatever heparin or fragment was used. The basal expression of collagenase by fibroblasts decreased quasi-linearly with increasing doses of heparins from 1 to 400 microg/ml. TIMP-1 levels were not affected by supplementi… Show more

“…Heparin has been reported to decrease phorbolesterstimulated MMP-9 expression while having no effect on MMP-2 or TIMP-1 (22,23). Thus, it is possible that we may have underestimated the effect of FFA on MMP-9.…”

“…It has been reported that both heparin and chondroitin sulfate inhibit the overexpression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 by IL-1 ® in mesenchymal cells, such as mesangial cells [39], gingival fibroblasts [17], synovial fibroblasts or chondrocytes [40,41]. Thus, mechanisms explaining inhibition of IL-1 ® signaling by sulfated GAGs may involve the inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathways [16] or alteration in intracellular trafficking mediated by calcium [42].…”

“…Other studies demonstrated that both heparin and chondroitin-sulfate directly inhibit serine-proteinase activities [14,15] and modulate matrix metalloproteinase syntheses in cell culture [16,17]. Furthermore, heparan-sulfates of endothelial cell surfaces are key players in leukocyte homing and rolling and show good affinities for chemokines and selectins [18,19].…”

“…Their ability to structure matrix macromolecules has been described on collagens as well as on matrix glycoproteins or elastic fibers [15–17]. Other studies demonstrated that heparin and chondroitin-sulfate directly inhibit serine-proteinase activity and modulate matrix metalloproteinase activity in cell culture [18,19]. Due to specific interactions with chemokines and selectins, heparan-sulfates found on endothelial cell surface are also major actors in leukocyte rolling and chemo-attraction [20,21].…”
