Expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases during normal human pulmonary development

Abstract: The extensive distribution of MMPs and TIMPs throughout all stages of human lung development suggests that they play a significant role in the remodelling that occurs in the interstitium and epithelial basement membrane during lung development and in pulmonary vascular development. These data will serve as a base line for comparison with neonatal lung pathology, including pulmonary hypertension.

“…It consists of a network of proteases/antiproteases including MMP9, MMP12, TIMP1, MMP8, secretory leukocyte peptidase inhibitor, and ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 5 (ADAMTS5). The function of MMP9, also called gelatinase B, has been studied in lung development and lung inflammatory diseases such as BPD (3,10). Levels of MMP9 are increased in animal models of BPD (11)(12)(13).…”

“…TGF-␤ regulates the secretion of some matrix-metabolizing enzymes: the MMPs and their cognate inhibitors, TIMPs. Throughout the canalicular, saccular, and alveolar phases of normal lung development, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-2 are strongly expressed in humans (29) and mice (44), and during normal development, MMP-9 expression peaks during alveolarization (5), indicating the importance of matrix remodeling in this process. In our study, we have illustrated that TGF-␤ stimulation dramatically elevates levels of mRNA encoding TIMP-1 in fibroblasts cultured in 85% O 2 , compared with fibroblasts cultured in 21% O 2 , whereas mRNA levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 were either unaffected or decreased.…”

“…In humans, MMPs, particularly MMP-1, -2 and -9, are important during the vascular remodelling that is a normal part of lung development [112]. Although MMPs have been shown to have a role in vascular remodelling in a variety of animal models of pulmonary hypertension, including hypoxia and monocrotaline induced pulmonary hypertension, we will confine ourselves here to the vascular remodelling seen in COPD, or to relevant data gleaned from isolated cell experiments.…”
