Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors reduce phorbol ester-induced cutaneous inflammation and hyperplasia

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent proteases which play key roles in extracellular matrix remodeling, connective tissue damage, inflammation and cell proliferation in a variety of tissues. Since MMP inhibitors have been recently shown to decrease proliferation of vascular smooth-muscle cells, and to prevent neutrophil infiltration in response to alkali burns, we sought to determine whether MMPs play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory or hyperproliferative skin disorders.

“…In addition, we demonstrate a reduction in MPO activity in direct relation with BB-94 dosage, thus proving the decrease in the inflammatory infiltrate. These results are in line with previous studies that reported similar effects when using MMP inhibitors for other inflammatory diseases [8, 9, 19]. …”

“…In a recent report, Holleran et al [8]showed that GM 6001, a potent inhibitor of MMPs, decreased both the inflammatory cellular infiltrates and epidermal hyperalgesia in a rat model of induced inflammation, thus demonstrating that use of MMP antagonists might be a new therapeutic approach to controlling inflammatory response. In addition, MMPs, such as gelatinases, are produced by phagocytes and thought to play a critical role in cell transmigration and tissue remodeling processes.…”

“…Recently, much attention has been devoted to the stimulatory effect of AP-1 on the transcription of matrix metalloproteinase genes encoding collagenase, gelatinase and stromelysin. These zinc-dependent proteases appear to be involved in dermal matrix remodeling occurring during inflammation (Holleran et al 1997), wound healing (Saarialho-Kere et al 1993) and UV-induced skin damage (Fisher et al 1996). It has been suggested that metalloproteinase-mediated collagen destruction accounts, largely, for the connective tissue damage that occurs in photoaging and during natural skin aging (Varani et al 2000).…”
