Levels of Gingival Crevicular Metalloproteinases-8 and -9 in Periodontitis

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), the key enzymes responsible for matrix degradation, are derived from polymorphonuclear leukocytes during the early stages of periodontitis. The aim of this study was planned to determine the levels of GCF (gingival crevicular fluid) matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) patients with periodontitis and in healthy controls. Levels of crevicular MMP-8 and -9 were determined by ELISA in subjects with healthy without any periodontal disease (n = 10) and… Show more

“…Specifically, MMP-2 is a gelatinase targeting collagen type IV, which is distributed in the base membranes of gingival connective tissues [19]. In addition, MMP-8 is a collagenase degrading collagen type I and III, which are the principal organic constituents found in the periodontal tissues [20]. Therefore, MMP-2 and MMP-8 might be responsible for the destruction of the free gingival tissues as well as the loss of periodontal ligaments, resulting in the deepening of the gingival sulcus.…”

“…53,54 MMP-9 is an important indicator of the severity and progression of periodontitis. [55][56][57][58] IL-1β upregulates MMP-9 expression in various cell types involved in periodontal inflammation, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, neutrophils, and cementoblasts. 59,60 In addition, IL-1β stimulated the production of other MMPs, e.g., MMP-1 and/or MMP-3, in human periodontal ligament cells and gingival fibroblast cells.…”

“…The role of fibroblasts is not only to secrete the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as collagen, fibronectin and proteoglycan (Graham et al 2008;Spinale 2007), but also to secrete ECM-degrading enzymes called matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) (Kukacka et al 2005;Lindner et al 2012). In the case of periodontal fibroblasts, it is known that they release MMP-2, 8 and 9 (Kim et al 2012;Lisboa et al 2009;Rai et al 2010). The MMPs may degrade the collagen of the membrane, resulting in a lack of attachment cues for the cells, thereby promoting cellular detachment and eventually, cellular death.…”
