Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) limits reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and DNA damage in colitis-associated cancer

Abstract: Colitis-associated cancer (CAC) is a subtype of colon cancer that is driven by chronic inflammation and is prevalent in chronic ulcerative colitis patients. The development of CAC is associated with the inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma pathway which is significantly different than adenoma-carcinoma pathway of sporadic colon cancer (CRC). Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase against extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins expressed in the gastrointestinal tract during inflammation. We… Show more

“…For example, MMP2 inhibition has been shown to sensitize lung cancer cells and MCF7 breast cancer cells to radiation, but to protect human fibroblasts from the same stress [ 42 , 43 ]. In a recent work by Walter et al [ 44 ], MMP9 expression was shown to exert a protective role in colitis-associated cancer (CAC), where MMP9 protected against ROS and reduced DNA damage, thus counteracting CAC. This suggests different MMPs may either be radio-protective or radio-sensitizing depending on the context in which they operate.…”

“…The inflammageing concept also includes oxidative stress, and herein we see a sex-specific association between MMP-9 and 8-OHdG, a nuclear and mitochondrial DNA stress marker, in ESKD males only. The negative relationship might be explained by the compensatory activation of endogenous antioxidants that suppress 8-OHdG [49]. Previously reported within this cohort, which was a sub-group for the current biomarker analysis, 8-OHdG showed a sex-adjusted association with all-cause mortality in CKD patients independent of inflammation markers [50].…”

“…IL-1β and IL-8 are essential inflammatory cytokines; MMP-9 facilitates the transformation of the inactive precursor IL-1β into active IL-1β by activating the IL-1β invertase (10) and pyrolyzes IL-8 to enhance its chemotactic activity and further aggravate the inflammatory response (11). In inflammatory diseases, MMP-9 gene silencing can also restrict ROS accumulation (29), obstruct MMP-9 activation, repress the redox reaction, and relieve neuroinflammation (30). The present study showed that high MMP-9 expression further enhanced the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses to ox-LDL.…”
