Increased production of matrix metalloproteinase-3 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 by inflamed mucosa in inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract: SUMMARYInflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by a sustained inflammatory cascade that gives rise to the release of mediators capable of degrading and modifying bowel wall structure. Our aims were (i) to measure the production of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and its tissue inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), by inflamed and uninflamed colonic mucosa in IBD, and (ii) to correlate their production with that of proinflammatory cytokines and the anti-inflammatory cytoki… Show more

“…Alterations of MMPs activity depending on the degree of disease exacerbation have been observed in animal models with induced bowel inflammation [11,12]. Elevated concentrations of MMPs have also been noted in biopsy specimens collected from inflamed fragments of the alimentary tract [1,2,13,14]. Despite these reports, there are only a few accounts concerning the possibility of the measurement of MMPs in samples other than tissue.…”

“…The gelatinases A (MMP-2) and B (MMP-9) have been shown to be highly upregulated in small as well as large intestinal inflammation in mice and men [11][12][13][14][15][16]. We have recently reported that selective blockage of gelatinases by the synthetic compound RO28-2653 was effectively ameliorating acute ileitis [17] and colitis [18].…”

“…In experimental models of Th1-type inflammation (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis and colitis) [7][8][9][10] as well as in humans with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease [11][12][13][14][15][16], levels of gelatinases A (MMP-2) and B (MMP-9) are increased in inflamed tissue sites.…”

“…23 TIMP1 is one of the intrinsic inhibitors of MMPs, a key effector of T cell-mediated tissue injury. [24][25][26] The transport of fatty acids from the plasma membrane to cellular organelles is believed to be performed by the FABP family. As FABP is consumed during inflammation of its producing organs, 27,28 such as liver, heart and intestinal epithelium, L-FABP in inflamed UC mucosa may decrease by a similar mechanism.…”
