Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Gene Promoter (rs 3918242) Mutation Reduces the Risk of Diabetic Microvascular Complications

Abstract: Background: Many studies have evaluated the association between matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) gene promoter polymorphism and diabetic microvascular complications. However, the results are conflicting and inconclusive. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association more precisely. Materials and Methods: Studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Embase, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. All statistical analyses were performed using Review M… Show more

“…Notably, it is observed in the present study that subjects with fasting blood glucose equals or exceed 5.5 mmol/L have a significant higher level of serum MMP-9 level compared to subjects without hyperglycemia, suggesting that the upregulation of MMP-9 occurs before the fasting blood glucose level has reached to clinical diabetic level. MMP-9 is associated with several pathological changes of diabetes mellitus including diabetic retinopathy [ 52 ], diabetic nephropathy [ 10 ] and diabetic microvascular complications due to its contribution in microvascular remodeling [ 53 ]. Upregulation of MMP-9 has been observed during the development of diabetic microvascular complications [ 53 ].…”

“…MMP-9 is associated with several pathological changes of diabetes mellitus including diabetic retinopathy [ 52 ], diabetic nephropathy [ 10 ] and diabetic microvascular complications due to its contribution in microvascular remodeling [ 53 ]. Upregulation of MMP-9 has been observed during the development of diabetic microvascular complications [ 53 ]. The high abundance of MMP-9 is also associated with the recruitment of leukocytes to lesions and fibrosis of the microvascular wall [ 54 , 55 ].…”

“…[ 25 27 ] The most common variants are microsatellites (CA)n [ 28 ] and rs3918242 (-1562C/T) [ 26 , 27 ] promoter polymorphisms. A recent meta-analysis provided potential evidence of the association between MMP-9 gene promoter polymorphism and the risk of diabetic microvascular complications, [ 26 ] but there is no system review specifically evaluating MMP-9 SNPs in DN to date. Fortunately, meta-analysis has been applied successfully in multiple researches to annihilate confounding results and evaluate the relationship based on a larger sample size.…”
