Disease relevance of MMP9

  • A full-length canine MMP-9 cDNA was cloned from the adenocarcinoma tissue by reverse transcription-PCR and 5'- and 3'-RACE [1].
  • The 92 kDa type VI collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)) activities on zymography assay were found to be 1-6 times higher in benign tumor breast tissues of 12 canines and 4-26 times higher in adenocarcinoma breast tissues of nine canines than that of control tissues, respectively [1].
  • Increased expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 (type IV collagenases/gelatinases), and MT1-MMP in canine X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) [2].
  • METHODS AND RESULTS: We measured hemodynamics, LV function, MMP-2 and MMP-9, and TIMP-3 and TIMP-4 in the ischemic zone (IZ) and nonischemic zone (NIZ) after in vivo IR (90 minutes anterior ischemia; 120 minutes reperfusion) in 28 dogs that were randomized to sham, IR controls, and IR plus the ARB valsartan [3].
  • In controls, IR induced LV dysfunction, infarction, and IZ remodeling; increased MMP-9 and decreased TIMP-3 in the IZ compared with the NIZ (low TIMP-3/MMP-9 ratio); and did not change MMP-2 or TIMP-4 [3].
 

High impact information on MMP9

  • Upregulation of MMP-9 in MDCK epithelial cell line in response to expression of the Snail transcription factor [4].
  • Myocardial MMP-9 and MMP-13 levels by immunoblot increased with chronic pacing relative to controls (130 +/- 10% and 118 +/- 6%, P < 0.05) and was normalized by TNF block [5].
  • A DNA fragment of 1894 bp was isolated and on analysis demonstrated regions of sequence homology with the MMP-9 promoter sequences already determined for other species [6].
  • The 5' untranslated region was obtained by genome walking upstream of the canine MMP-9 translation start site using canine genomic DNA as template [6].
  • CONCLUSION: Valsartan-induced cardioprotection after IR is associated with enhanced TIMP-3 expression and improved TIMP-3/MMP-9 balance in the in vivo dog model [3].
 

Biological context of MMP9

 

Anatomical context of MMP9

  • CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Data were consistent with results of experimental rodent spinal cord injury studies that indicate that MMP-9 is expressed early during secondary injury [11].
  • Additionally, moderate dilation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and intercalated disk discontinuity were seen after 8 weeks of pacing, and MMP-9 was increased and TIMP-1 was decreased after the same time period [12].
  • The neoplastic luminal epithelial cells in 12 malignant tumours reacted strongly for MMP-9 [13].
  • The hypothesis tested is that one inflammation-based effector of tissue repair is the secretion and activation of MMP-9 by infiltrating neutrophils [8].
  • In contrast, MMP-9 in the myocardium was in both latent and active forms [8].
 

Associations of MMP9 with chemical compounds

  • In the remaining three benign tumours (mixed or complex) MMP-9 expression was observed in the neoplastic luminal epithelial cells and myoepithelial cells in some areas [13].
 

Other interactions of MMP9

  • Gelatin zymography revealed increases in 92-kDa MMP-9 activity and 86-kDa MMP-9 activity at the LV pacing site relative to the remote site, whereas MMP-2 activity was unaffected [14].
  • The induction of these MMPs likely contributes to tissue destruction associated with the fibrogenic process, while augmenting the activation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by MMP-3 and MMP-7 in XLAS [15].
  • We characterized the role of inflammatory mediators and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) in the control of arterialized vein graft expression of MMP-9, MMP-2, and membrane-type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP) and of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) [7].
  • Recently, we demonstrated that the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-14 was upregulated in the renal cortex of dogs with a spontaneous form of XLAS [15].
  • Similar to MMP-9, expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin S was only found in stifle tissues from dogs with ruptured CCL; in contrast, expression of cathepsin K was found in all ruptured and intact CCL [16].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MMP9

  • No significant difference in hospitalization time was detected in dogs with IVDD between those with and without activity of MMP-9 in the CSF [11].
  • Compared with the control group, MMP-9 was significantly higher (0.217 +/- 2.16 E-02 vs. 0.314 +/- 5.263 E-02; p < 0.001), while TIMP-1 was decreased (0.230 +/- 8.944 E-02 vs. 0.120 +/- 9.258 E-03; p < 0.001) [12].
  • The results indicated that MMP-9 plays an important role in the progression of a canine mammary tumor and that assay of serum MMP-9 is helpful for early diagnosis as progress of adenocarcinoma [1].
  • We used electron microscopy and immunoconfocal (IF) labeling for bFGF, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), its inhibitor (PAI-1), fibronectin (FN), and Ki-67 [17].
  • Zymography and densitometry showed that expression of MMP-9 was higher in the benign mammary tumours than in normal canine mammary tissues, but highest in the malignant mammary tumours [13].
