Preoperative Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 and -9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 Relation to Pathologic Parameters in Bladder Carcinoma Patients

Abstract: Our aim was to test the hypothesis that preoperative serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) and -9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) levels correlate with pathological features. Serum levels of MMP-7, and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were determined in 90 bladder cancer patients and 40 healthy controls using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Preoperative serum MMP-7 and MMP-9 levels were significantly higher in cancer patients than control groups (p<0.001). In contast, serum… Show more

“…J SAFRANEK et al [28] reported higher expression of MMP7 mRNA and lower expression of TIMP1 mRNA in NSCLC tissue as compared to nontumour lung tissue, offering the first step for further application. Mustafa Gunes et al [29] reported that the preoperative serum levels of MMP7 were significantly higher in patients with bladder cancer with metastatic disease, lymphovascular involvement, and lymph node metastasis than in control groups, but serum TIMP1 levels showed the opposite result. These investigations indicate that TIMP1 may be an antagonist against the proteolytic effect of MMP7.…”

“…Additional studies were excluded as they were not case-control or cohort studies (n=19), were irrelevant to the present study (n=4) or possessed incomplete data (n=1). Overall, 23 case-control studies (15,(18)(19)(20)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47), published between 1998 and 2014, were selected for meta-analysis, and consisted of 1,040 bladder cancer patients and 244 healthy control individuals. Among the 23 studies, the study subjects in 3 studies were African, 14 studies enrolled Asian subjects and 6 studies enrolled Caucasian subjects.…”

“…The proteolytic activity of MMP-9 against collagen type IV not only promotes invasion and metastasis, but also releases matrix-bound growth factors and other signaling molecules to promote growth signaling, angiogenesis and an inflammatory response (9,17). Previous studies have revealed that MMP-9 is involved in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer (3,9,15,18); however, alternative studies fail to establish an association between MMP-9 expression and bladder cancer, leading to the conclusion that MMP-9 may not be an effective marker for bladder cancer detection (19,20). Due to the conflicting results of previous studies, the present study investigated the association between MMP-9 and the pathogenesis of bladder cancer using a retrospective meta-analysis.…”

“…Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has complex roles including degradation of extracellular matrix, release of proangiogenic substances such as VEGF play a role in facilitating tumor angiogenesis. (11,12) Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is the type of MMP that is involves in the process of degradation of basement membrane and the formation of new blood vessels are characteristic of the progression in bladder carcinoma. (12) Degradation of basement membrane is the key of tumor invasion which is supported by angiogenesis to support the oxygen and nutrient needs.…”
