Serum MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels are related to MRI activity in relapsing multiple sclerosis

Abstract: An increase in the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) relative to tissue inhibitor of MMP-type 1 (TIMP-1) may be related to formation of new MS lesions, suggesting that serum levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 may be surrogate markers of disease activity in relapsing-remitting MS.

“…In addition, they play an important role in the fetal development, inflammatory cell migration and wound healing [27]. Under non-physiological conditions, MMPs are involved in tumour cell proliferation and dissemination [28] and in the pathophysiology of tissue-destructive diseases such as arthritis [29], multiple sclerosis [30] and central nervous system disorders [31]. MMPs, such as gelatinase B and collagenase, are mainly stored in the specific granules, whereas serine proteinases, such as elastase, proteinase 3 and cathepsin G, are located in azurophilic granules.…”

“…Treatment with highdose methylprednisolone for 3 days dramatically reduced the levels of MMP-9 in patients with evidence of BBB damage on Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Rosenberg et al, 1996a). During an acute attack of multiple sclerosis, there is an increase in the levels of MMP-9 in the serum, but the source of the MMP-9 in the serum is uncertain (Waubant et al, 1999;Trojano et al, 1999;Lee et al, 1999). Treatment with interferon-␤ (IFN-␤) reduces the levels of mRNA for MMPs in the serum (Galboiz et al, 2001).…”

“…MMP levels are increased in MS (Anthony et al, 1997;Cossins et al, 1997;Gijbels et al, 1992;Maeda and Sobel, 1996;Ozenci et al, 2000;Ozenci et al, 1999;Rosenberg et al, 1996;Sellebjerg et al, 2000;Trojano et al, 1999;Waubant et al, 1999) and in animal models of MS including experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) Gijbels et al, 1993;Graesser et al, 1998;Graesser et al, 2000;Jovanova-Nesic and Shoenfeld, 2006;Kieseier et al, 1998;Teesalu et al, 2001), and are very closely linked to pathogenesis and disease progression. Elevated serum MMP activity is detectable extremely early in the disease course, being present even in prodromal phases prior to development of clinically diagnosed MS (Correale and Bassani Molinas Mde, 2003).…”

“…Elevated serum MMP activity is detectable extremely early in the disease course, being present even in prodromal phases prior to development of clinically diagnosed MS (Correale and Bassani Molinas Mde, 2003). In relapsing-remitting MS, serum MMP activities are high during relapses and wax and wane in parallel with the disease course (Avolio et al, 2005;Kanesaka et al, 2006;Waubant et al, 1999). MMP-7 and -9 can be detected in active MS demyelinating lesions, with MMP-7 localized to microglia and invading macrophages .…”
