Expression of a metalloproteinase that degrades native type V collagen and denatured collagens by cultured human alveolar macrophages.

Abstract: Human pulmonary alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage from both normal controls and smokers secreted in vitro a neutral proteinase that degraded denatured collagens. Optimal expression of the proteinase was detected after 3-5 d of culture. The proteinase could not be detected in the media of cultures that had been treated with 0.5 gg/ml of cycloheximide. The gelatinase had an Mr of 90,000 and was immunologically cross-reactive with human neutrophil gelatinase. When newly synthesized 35S-methi… Show more

“…Distribution of protein was shown to be similar to that of the mRNA (Figure 2b). As well as stromal distribution within spindle shaped cells, 92 kDa mRNA and protein was also identified in putative myoepithelial cells in some areas of ductal carcinoma in situ adjacent to the invasive carcinoma (Figure 2c and d (Hibbs et al, 1987;Welgus et al, 1990) and this activity is affected by, for example, treatment with LPS or concanavalin A. The tissue location of macrophages also affects the extent to which they express this enzyme, but the precise control mechanisms and mediators operating in vivo have not yet been elucidated.…”

“…Ethidium bromide staining of 28S ribosomal RNA was used to document equal loading of RNA in each lane. tified in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages (33,34), is produced by a small number of cell types. However, its expression can be readily regulated by a number of agents, including growth factors, hormones, cytokines, and extracellular matrix molecules (35), which explains why MMP9 is often associated with inflammation, tissue injury and tumor invasion.…”

“…Macrophages secrete a metalloproteinase that digests gelatins and type-V collagen (Mainardi et al, 1984). These enzymes have now been shown by immunochemical criteria to be identical with the 92 kDa form of gelatinase/type-IV collagenase from various transformed cells (Hibbs et al, 1987;Murphy et al, 1989b;Wilhelm et al, 1989;Moll et al, 1990). According to the numerical distinction of the members of the MMP family, the 72 kDa and the 92 kDa zymogens are designated proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 (Nagase et al, 1992).…”
