Inhibition of human pulpal gelatinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐9) by zinc oxide cements

Abstract: The interaction between metal ions and the oral environment is a major subject matter in dental research. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in several pathological and physiological processes such as, periodontal tissue destruction, root caries, dentin calcification and pulpal inflammation. The aim of this work was to test the effect of zinc released from zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) cements, on the activity of the major pulpal gelatinolytic MMPs. Pulpal explants were cultured overnight in Dulb… Show more

“…26 In addition, Santos and colleagues found that ZnO 2 suppresses the production of MMP-9. 27,28 These reports, together with the results of our present study, suggest that Zn in Zn-HA partially suppresses MMP-9 production. Since the effect of Zn-HA is greater than that of ZnCl 2 alone, the MMP-9 inhibitory effect of Zn-HA is additive as compared to that of Zn alone.…”

“…It may be concluded that zinc at high concentrations serves as a potent, stable, and effective inhibitor of collagen degradation mediated by dentine MMPs [Souza et al, 2000;Santos et al, 2004;Osorio et al, 2011c;Henn et al, 2012]. This inhibiting effect is only reversed in the presence of Ca-EDTA.…”

“…Some studies have shown inhibition of MMPs by metals, metal salts, and especially zinc present in dental products [Souza et al, 2000;Santos et al, 2004;Kato et al, 2010;Henn et al, 2012]. Zinc concentration strongly reduced MMP-mediated collagen degradation in PAetched dentine.…”

“…MMP-9 may be involved in degradation and reconstruction of the extracellular matrix under the influence of metallic zinc ions: it could, for example, cut off extracellular matrix components, regulate cell adhesion, act on extracellular components or other protein components and activate potential biological function, and participate directly or indirectly in tissue remodelling and wound repair. 28 When MMP-9 levels are elevated, the above-mentioned functions are enhanced, which would result in excessive extracellular matrix degradation, increased tissue remodelling and myocardial fibrosis, and could contribute to micro re-entry and eventually lead to AF. 29 Our study also found that MMP-9 levels gradually increased from paroxysmal AF through persistent AF to permanent AF.…”
