“…Alveolar macrophages are the principal source of MMP-12 in the lung, and MMP-12 protein levels and enzymatic activity are increased in patients with chronic pulmonary pathologies and are inversely correlated with measures of lung function 31 32. Indeed, MMP-12 silencing has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach to treat pathological lung tissue remodelling 31. Interestingly, we observed increased MMP-12 expression in alveolar macrophages and pulmonary fibroblasts from patients with SSc.…”

“…MMP-12 has recently emerged as a critical player in chronic pulmonary pathologies characterised by intense tissue remodelling such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary fibrosis 31. Alveolar macrophages are the principal source of MMP-12 in the lung, and MMP-12 protein levels and enzymatic activity are increased in patients with chronic pulmonary pathologies and are inversely correlated with measures of lung function 31 32. Indeed, MMP-12 silencing has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach to treat pathological lung tissue remodelling 31.…”

“…MMP-12, which is also called macrophage elastase, is thought to play important roles in airway inflammatory diseases such as COPD and asthma (13). Besides macrophages, it has also been reported that airway smooth muscle and bronchial epithelial cells are important sources of MMP-12, which is thought to be deeply associated with the remodeling of these airway structural cells in chronic airway inflammatory diseases (7,8).…”

“…This protein may be critical to the maintenance of tissue homeostasis by suppressing the proliferation of quiescent tissues in response to angiogenic factors, and by inhibiting protease activity in tissues undergoing remodeling of the extracellular matrix. It is also related to disorganization of lung parenchyma [43].…”
