▼ RECK stands for âreversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifsâ. This gene was initially discovered by screening a human fibroblast cDNA library for genes giving rise to reversion-inducing clones when transfected into v-Ki-ras transformed NIH3T3 cells. The key action of RECK is to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and it has a significant effect on limiting tumor invasion. Located within the middle part of RECK protein are three serine protease inhibitor-like (SPI) domains (635-654,716-735 and 754-772 amino acids, respectively) which are similar to Kazal motif. Kazal motif is a peptidase inhibitor motif containing disulfide bonds with small alpha and beta folds. The first of these SPI is identical to the Kazal motif (named as K1) and the other two SPIs are highly similar to the Kazal motif (named as K2 & K3). Given RECK is a
MMP inhibitor, these SPI-like domains are likely to have a significant role in
MMP inhibition.
Our previous data indicated that K23 motifs of RECK protein can inhibit
MMP-
9 secretion and activity and attenuate metastasis of lung cancer cells. To go a step further, we constructed secretory mammalian expression vectors which could produce K1, K2 and K3 to investigate their effect on
MMP activity and cell invasion. We found that K2 also exhibited inhibitory activity on
MMP activity and cell invasion. Thus, these finding indicate that the K2 domain of RECK function may be developed as a peptide inhibitor of tumor invasion.

▼ Introdução: O câncer de próstata (CaP) é o tumor mais freqüente do homem no Brasil tendo sido estimados mais de 52.350 novos casos em 2010, sendo a segunda causa de óbito por câncer em homens. O prognóstico depende fundamentalmente dos níveis séricos de Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) estádio tumoral (TNM) e grau de diferenciação histológica (Gleason). Porém esses têm sido insuficientes na definição do prognóstico da neoplasia. Por isso pesquisas têm sido direcionadas para a identificação de alterações moleculares que possam prever o potencial de agressividade do câncer de próstata. Metaloproteinases da matriz (
MMP) são proteínas pertencentes a uma família de aproximadamente 30 enzimas proteolíticas ou endoproteinases que degradam vários componentes da matriz extracelular. A detecção de sua expressão tem sido estudada como marcador sensível e específico de vários tumores, principalmente as
MMP pertencentes ao grupo das gelatinases
MMP-2 e
MMP-
9. Objetivo: o objetivo deste nosso trabalho foi avaliarmos pela técnica de qRT-PCR e imuno-histoquímica os níveis de expressão dos genes das
MMP pertencentes ao grupo das gelatinases,
MMP-2 e
MMP-
9, bem como outros sabidamente envolvidos em suas vias de ativação (
MMP-14, IL-8) e inibição (TIMP-1, TIMP-2, RECK e TGF-) no câncer localizado de próstata. Material e Métodos: O estudo consistiu na análise de espécimes de 79 pacientes com câncer da próstata submetidos a prostatectomia radical entre setembro de 1997 e fevereiro de 2000. Esses oito genes foram então testados quanto a seu valor prognóstico no câncer da próstata através da técnica de reação em cadeia da polimerase quantitativa com transcriptase reversa (qRT-PCR). Análise proteica foi feita a partir de 40 pacientes deste pool. O grupo controle foi composto de tecido de 11 pacientes com hiperplasia benigna da próstata (HPB) tratados cirurgicamente com prostatectomia retropúbica. Resultados:
MMP-
9 esteve superexpressa e
MMP-2, TIMP-1, TIMP-2,
MMP 14, IL-8, TGF- e RECK se mostraram subexpressos em tecido representativo de CaP quando comparado com HPB. A análise dos níveis de expressão dos genes com o escore de Gleason, mostrou que
MMP-2 e TIMP-2 mesmo mantendo-se subexpressos, tiveram uma expressão maior entre os pacientes que apresentavam Gleason 7 (p=0,04 e p=0,02 respectivamente). De acordo com o valor de PSA préoperatório, encontramos diferenças na expressão de
MMP-
9. Pacientes que apresentavam um PSA pré-operatório 10 ng/mL possuíam uma mediana de expressão maior que aqueles cujo PSA pré-operatório <10 ng/mL com medianas de expressão de 5,62 e 2,76 respectivamente (p=0,033). Não encontramos diferenças estatísticas entre pacientes que apresentavam ou não recidiva bioquímica quanto a expressão dos 8 genes estudados. Porém o gene da
MMP-
9 apresentou uma diferença estatística marginal apresentando uma mediana de expressão de 6,29x nos pacientes que apresentaram recidiva bioquímica e de 3,25 nos pacientes que não apresentaram recidiva bioquímica (p=0,090). De acordo com a expressão proteica, encontramos uma maior…

▼ The aim of the present study was to investigate components of extracellular matrix (ECM) during the skeletal muscle regeneration after cryolesion in rats. Sixty adult Wistar rats were used. The animals were divided into 4 groups: 1, 7, 14 and 21 days post-injury (10animls/group). One of the tibialis anterior muscles was cryolesioned and the contralateral muscle was used as the control. One sham group, in which animals received only the surgical procedure and one group of control animals that do not receive any intervention were included. The muscles were submitted to hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry staining for collagen IV, MMP-2 and MMP-9 detection. The MMP enzymatic activity was verified by zymography. The control muscles showed normal morphology and the sham group exhibited an inflammatory infiltrated. After 1 day, the cryolesioned group exhibit moderate inflammatory infiltrated and necrosis areas. At 7 and 14 days a significant reduction of the inflammatory process, absence of necrosis and presence of immature muscular cells could be observed. The injured group revealed total remodeling after the 21 days. Collagen IV showed a disordered distribution pattern after 1 day of injury and gradually it was reorganized during the 21 days of the muscle regeneration. The MMP-2 and MMP-9 immunolabeling, as well, the MMP-2 activity were related to the phase of skeletal muscle repair. After 1 day, an increase on MMP-2 and MMP-9 labeling and MMP-2 activity were observed. In conclusion, the increase and decrease of immunolabeling and activity of MMP were related to the break down and accumulation of collagen IV during the skeletal muscle remodeling.
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os componentes da matriz extracelular (MEC) durante a regeneração muscular esquelética. Foram utilizados 60 ratos Wistar sendo que destes, foram organizados 4 grupos avaliados 1, 7, 14 e 21 dias após a lesão (10 animais/grupo). Esses grupos foram submetidos à criolesão no músculo tibial anterior do lado esquerdo e os músculos contralaterais foram os controles. Foi realizado um grupo sham, que recebeu apenas o procedimento cirúrgico e um grupo de animais controle que não recebeu nenhuma intervenção. Os músculos foram submetidos à colorações por hematoxilina &eosina e imuno-histoquímica para detecção de colágeno tipo IV, MMP-2 e MMP-9. A atividade enzimática de MMPs foi verificada pela zimografia. Os músculos controle mostraram morfologia normal, o grupo sham exibiu leve infiltrado inflamatório. No grupo criolesionado foi observado após 1 dia moderado infiltrado inflamatório e áreas de necrose. Após 7 e 14 dias pode-se observar redução significativa do processo inflamatório, ausência de necrose e presença de células musculares imaturas. Aos 21 dias o músculo mostrou evidência de reparo completo. O colágeno IV mostrou-se desorganizado por entre as fibras lesadas após 1 dia da criolesão e se reorganizou gradualmente ao longo dos 21 dias. A imunoreatividade da MMP-2 e MMP-9, assim como a atividade de MMP-2 se mostraram relacionadas com…

▼ Siirto- ja pakastesiemennysten lisääntyessä tammojen hedelmällisyystulosten parantuminen on hevoskasvatuksen taloudellisuuden kannalta merkittävää. Oriitten spermoissa on eroja sekä siirto- että pakastekestävyydessä. Pelkällä orivalinnalla ei voida kuitenkaan vaikuttaa hedelmällisyystuloksiin, sillä yleensä valinta painottuu suorituskykyyn. Siittiöiden lisäksi seminaaliplasmalla on havaittu vaikutuksia siirto- ja pakastuskestävyyteen. Seminaaliplasma koostuu useista erilaisista biologisista komponenteista, joista matriksimetalloproteinaasit (MMP) ovat yksi. Ne ovat proteiiniperhe, johon kuluu useita jäseniä. MMP:t kykenevät hajottamaan muun muassa solun ulkoisia tukirakenteita sekä tyvikalvoa erilaisissa fysiologisissa ja patologisissa tiloissa. Matriksimetalloproteinaaseja on löydetty useista kudoksista ja myös seminaaliplasmasta.
Työn tutkimusosuudessa haluttiin selvittää MMP-pitoisuuksia, niiden vaihteluita oriitten välillä ja mahdollisia vaikutuksia hedelmällisyystuloksiin. Seminaaliplasmanäytteitä tutkittiin yhteensä 43 oriista. Näytteet oli kerätty astutuskaudella 2006 erirotuisilta ja -ikäisiltä hevosilta sekä kahdelta ponilta. Keräysvaiheessa näytteet jaoteltiin 1-4 eri fraktioon. Jokaisesta näytteestä tutkittiin MMP:t zymografian avulla. Seminaaliplasmanäytteiden lisäksi oriilta kerättiin hedelmällisyystietoja siittoloista sekä Suomen raviurheilun ja hevoskasvatuksen keskusjärjestöltä (Suomen Hippos ry).
Kaikki tulokset taulukoitiin ja laskettiin aktiiviselle (akt-MMP-2) ja pro-MMP-2:lle sekä kokonais-MMP-9:lle (tot-MMP-9) siittiörikkaassa (SR) ja siittiököyhässä fraktiossa (SK) sekä kokonaisejakulaatissa (KE): keskiarvot, keskihajonnat, mediaanit sekä maksimi- ja minimiarvot. Spearmanin järjestyskorrelaatiokertoimet laskettiin tammojen ensimmäiseen kiimaan tiinehtymisen ja eri MMP-pitoisuuksien välille SR:ssa ja KE:ssa.
Oriilla oli havaittavia pitoisuuksia pro- ja akt-MMP-2:ta sekä tot-MMP-9:ää. MMP-pitoisuudet olivat suurimmat SR:ssa. Suurimpia olivat pro-MMP-2:n pitoisuudet ja orikohtaiset erot olivat siinä pieniä. Saadut tulokset vastasivat odotuksia, sillä miesten seminaaliplasmatutkimusten tulokset ovat samansuuntaisia. Eri MMP-pitoisuuksilla ei havaittu korrelaatiota tammojen tiinehtymiseen kanssa.
Aineiston pienen koon takia sattumalla voi olla suuri vaikutus tuloksiin. Myös keräysvuodenaika ja yksilön ejakulaation koostumusvaihtelut saattavat vaikuttaa seminaaliplasman MMP-pitoisuuksiin, sillä sen useissa ominaisuuksissa tapahtuu muutoksia näiden muuttujien mukaan. Tulokset ovat suuntaa antavia ja toimivat apuna jatkotutkimuksia suunniteltaessa.

▼ Molecular-targeting therapeutics directed towards growth factor receptors have become promising interventions in cancer. They include the family of mammalian receptor tyrosine kinases such as epidermal growth factor, TrkA and insulin. In particular, the insulin receptor (IR) is one of the most well-known members of the RTK family of receptors playing a role in cancer. IRs are covalently-linked heterodimers of αβ subunits on the cell membrane in the absence of insulin. The IR signaling pathways are initially triggered by insulin binding to the α subunits followed by the interaction of β subunits and ATP. The parameter(s) controlling IR activation remains unknown. Here, we report a membrane receptor signaling platform initiated by insulin binding to its receptor to induce Neu1 in live HTC-IR and MiaPaCa-2 cell lines. Microscopy colocalization and co-immunoprecipitation analyses reveal that Neu1 and MMP9 form a complex with naïve and insulin-treated receptors. Tamiflu (neuraminidase inhibitor), galardin and piperazine (broad range MMP inhibitors), MMP9 specific inhibitor and anti-Neu1 antibody blocked Neu1 activity associated with insulin stimulated live cells. Moreover, Tamiflu, anti-Neu1 antibody, and MMP9 specific inhibitor blocked insulin induced insulin receptor substrate-1 phosphorylation (p-IRS1). The previous findings reveal a molecular organizational signaling platform of Neu1 and MMP-9 crosstalk in alliance with insulin receptors. It proposes that insulin binding to the receptor induces MMP9 to activate Neu1, which hydrolyzes α-2,3 sialic acid in removing steric hindrance to generate a functional receptor. The results predict a prerequisite desialylation process by activated Neu1. A complete understanding of IR activation and the role of sialic acids in the
iii
signaling pathways may provide a therapeutic strategy in the prevention of different diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cancer.

▼ BACKGROUND: Tumor cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis are known to be mediated, at least in part, through degradation of basement membrane by neutral metalloproteinases (
MMP) produced by tumor and stromal cells.
MMP-
9 is known to play a significant role in breast tumor cell invasion and metastasis via degradation of ECM components and activation of cytokines and chemokines.
MMP-
9 is known to cleave type IV collagen, one of the most abundant collagens of the extracellular matrix. Our lab has found that the fully processed (68 kDa) form of
MMP-
9 generated in tumor and stromal cells is also capable of cleaving type I collagen molecule with similar characteristics of MMP‑1. This observation raises questions regarding the significance of each
MMP in tumor cell invasion and metastases. Thus, in combating tumor growth and invasion, understanding the mechanism of substrate specificity and design of a novel therapeutic compound that is capable of specifically down regulating
MMP-
9 expression are of interest.
METHOD: DNAzymes are catalytic oligonucleotides that bind to and cleave specific mRNA, resulting in a decreased protein expression. The safety and efficacy of anti-
MMP-
9 DNAzyme (AM9D)
in vivo was determined by injecting
35S‑labeled AM9D (
35S-AM9D) into the tail vein of healthy and MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice and the amount of
35S-AM9D accumulated in different tissues was measured as a function of time. The effect of AM9D treatment on breast tumor progression was tested by four once‑weekly intratumoral injections of two concentrations of AM9D into mammary tumors of MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice at early stages of tumor development. The tumor sizes were measured at the end of the experiments. The effect of AM9D treatment on early stage experimental metastasis and survival was evaluated by injecting FVB female mice with 1x10
6 luciferase labeled mammary tumor epithelial cells (luc‑MTEC) isolated from MMTV‑PyMT mice and treating the animals with AM9D, control DNAzyme, or PBS for 3 weeks or up to 10 weeks, respectively.
The mechanism of substrate specificity of 68 kDa MMP‑
9 was determined by generating a series of truncated and site directed mutant forms of MMP‑

▼ Metalloproteinases regulate aspects of cell development, effector function, migration, and ligand-receptor interactions. Membrane-anchored disintegrin metalloproteinases (ADAMs) are transmembrane proteins which carry out ectodomain shedding of cytokines and their congnate receptors. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) became known as the primart class of enzymes responsible for degradation of extracellular matrix protein. The main role of MMPs in angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis is degradation of extracellular matrix and release and/or activation of growth factors through their degradative activity. Mounting evidence supports the view that extracellular proteinases mediate many of the change in the microenviroment during tumor progression. These enzymes regulate a variety of physiological processes and signaling events, and thus they represent key players in the molecular communication between tumor and stroma. In this thesis, arecoline, hydroquinone, gallic acid, and simvastatin are employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms in regulating ADAM17 and
MMP-2/
MMP-
9 of leukemic cell line K562. Arecoline is an alkaloid extracted form betel nuts. Arecoline have been shown to be characterized by carcinogenicity, cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and genotoxicity. Our data revealed that arecoline up-regulated transcriptional level of TNFR2 mRNA via JNK/c-Jun pathway activation in K562 cells. Moreover, arecoline-induced down regulation of mature ADAM17 reduced TNFR2 shedding. Up-modulation of TNFR2 surface expression is associated with arecoline-induced death of K562 cells. Hydroquinone, a major marrow metabolite of leukemogen benzene, leading to myelotoxicity and benzene-related hematogical disorders. Hydroquinone induced down-regulation of miR-122 expression, leading to ADAM17 up-regultion and ADAM17-mediated TNF-α shedding. Gallic acid as a polyhdyroyxlphenolic compound is widely distributed in various plants, fruits, and foods. Various biological activities of gallic acid have been reported, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities.
MMP-2 and
MMP-
9 downregulation in gallic acid treated K562 cells were mediated throuht suppression of JNK1-mediated c-Jun/ATF-2 and Akt/ERK-mediated c-Jun/c-Fos pathways, respectively. Simvastatin is commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering drug that significantly improve the morbidity and mortality associated with atherosclerosis. Privious studies show that simvastatin selectively inhibit
MMP-
9 expression but not
MMP-2 expression in cancer cells. However, the mechanism remains elusive. Our date indicated that simvastatin-induced NFκB degradation led to
MMP-
9 down-regulation, while simvastatin-induced JNK1/c-Jun/ATF-2 activation kept
MMP-2 expression underlying NFκB down-regulation. This aim of the study is to interpret the role of ADAM17,
MMP-2 and
MMP-
9 in leukemia cells, focusing especially on their poteintial use as cancer biomarkers and therapeutic target.

▼ Perinatal hypoxic ischemic (HI) injury is a leading cause of long-term neurological complications in newborn babies. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endopeptidases that are capable of degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM) components. They are considered to be integral in many physiological processes. However, recently it has been demonstrated that the inappropriate activity of these proteases, particularly
MMP-2 and
9, contribute to the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia in the adult brain. Given that ECM disruption is frequently observed following injury to the developing brain, it is possible that MMPs play an important role in HI injury processes in the developing brain. Therefore, this thesis evaluated the hypothesis that
MMP-2 and
9 participate in the pathophysiology of HI injury to the developing brain. Since ECM remodelling is a fundamental process during brain development it was important to first characterise the
MMP-2 and
9 profiles in the normal developing forebrain. We demonstrated that
MMP-2, which mainly was observed in cortical plate neurons, declined with age, thus indicating a potential role in the development and differentiation of the cortical plate. Conversely,
MMP-
9 was increased with age, particularly during active myelination, indicating that it may contribute in myelination. Secondly, we showed an upregulation of
MMP-
9 within the ischemic core during the early hours following HI injury, suggesting that
MMP-
9 may be involved in the development of delayed injury processes following hypoxic ischemia. On the contrary,
MMP-2 was strongly upregulated during a later stage following injury surrounding the ischemic core possibly suggesting that it plays a role in wound repair processes. Thirdly, the profiles of tissue (tPA) and urokinase (uPA) plasminogen activators were characterised following HI injury since they are known to be major upstream activators of MMPs. uPA upregulation paralleled that of
MMP-2 suggesting a function for uPA in wound repair processes following HI injury to the developing brain through activation of
MMP-2. In contrast with uPA, tPA activity remained unaffected following injury at both ages. Finally,
MMP-
9 activity was inhibited using a very specific
MMP-2/
9 inhibitor, SB-3CT, to determine if the
MMP-
9 deficiency protects the developing brain from HI injury. The elevated
MMP-
9 activity following HI injury was attenuated by the SB-3CT treatment. Although SB-3CT failed to confer any significant neuroprotection, we recommend that further investigations are needed before discounting the role of
MMP-
9 during HI injury to the developing brain. In conclusion, we suggest that
MMP-
9 is induced following an insult to the developing brain potentially contributing to the delayed neuronal death whilst
MMP-2 is involved in essential developmental, differentiation and wound repair processes.

▼ La phase de l'épithélialisation de la réparation cutanée se déroule en impliquant plusieurs processus dynamiques et interactifs pendant lesquels les kératinocytes migrent, prolifèrent et se différentient afin de reconstruire la fonction de la barrière. La migration des kératinocytes est l'événement qui détermine l'efficacité du processus entier. Le comportement migratoire est contrôlé au même temps au niveau extracellulaire et intracellulaire et dépend d'interactions dynamiques entre les cellules et leur environnement extracellulaire, des facteurs de croissance et des cytokines. Parmi les protéines de la matrice extracellulaire, la laminine 332 est un substrat d'adhésion majeur des kératinocytes qui joue un rôle important au cours de la migration des kératinocytes, travers son domaine LG4/5 localisé à l'extrémité carboxy-terminale de sa chaine a. Des études récentes ont rapporté que l'induction de la migration des kératinocytes par LG4/5 est dépendante des Métalloprotéinases Matricielles pro-migratoires (
MMP)-
9 et -1 qui jouent des rôles essentiels au cours de la cicatrisation et surtout pendant la ré-épithélialisation. Etant donné que des travaux antérieurs du laboratoire ont montré que le domaine LG4/5 participe à la dynamique du cytosquelette et à la motilité cellulaire au travers de liaisons avec les récepteurs de type de protéoglycanes à heparane sulfate, syndécan-1 et -4 on a regardé l'implication potentielle de ces récepteurs au processus. Afin d'analyser la participation possible des syndecans dans ce processus, nous avons développé une approche de mutagénèse dirigée dans la protéine LG4/5 recombinante pour altérer les sites de liaison aux syndécan-1 ou -4. Notre analyse PCR et nos résultats de zymographie ont révélé une différence du profile d'activation des MMPs en fonction de la mutation produite et donc de la capacité de la protéine à recruter le syndécan-1 ou le syndécan-4, ainsi que le syndécan-1, et pas la syndécan-4, est impliqué dans l'activation de la production de la
MMP-
9 par LG4/5. Nous avons ensuite confirmé ces résultats en réduisant l'expression du syndécan-1 dans des kératinocytes et on a pu aussi montrer que le traitement avec des cytokines telles que TNFalpha et IL-1beta, connues pour leur capacité d'induire l'activation de la
MMP-
9, a produit le même résultat dans ce systéme. L'addition de l'héparine dans nos experiences a inhibé l'activation de l'expression de
MMP-
9 suggerant que les heparanes sulfates dans syndecan-1 sont impliqué au mécanisme. Pour confirmer ces résultats des experiences avec des séries de syndecan-1 mutés sont en cours. Pour conclure, nos résultats montrent pour la première fois un rôle important de syndecan-1 à l'expression de
MMP-
9 suggérant que sa re-distribution au front des kératinocytes migratoires puisse éventuellement être liée au clivage ou à la dégradation des protéines de la matrice extracellulaire. En plus, nos résultats proposent que le domain LG4/5 de la laminin 332 libéré soit capable d'affecter la balance de l'expression de la
MMP-
9 lors de la migration…

▼ As major effector cells of the innate immune response, macrophages must adeptly migrate from blood to infected tissues. Endothelial transmigration is accomplished by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-induced degradation of basement membrane and extracellular matrix components. The classical activation of macrophages with LPS and IFN-γ causes enhanced microtubule stabilization and secretion of MMPs. Macrophages upregulate MMP-9 expression and secretion upon immunological challenge, and require its activity for migration during inflammatory response. However, the dynamics of MMP-9 production and intracellular distribution, as well as the mechanisms responsible for its trafficking, are unknown. Using immunofluorescent imaging, we localized intracellular MMP-9 to small Golgi-derived cytoplasmic vesicles that contain calreticulin and PDI, in activated macrophages. Vesicular organelles of MMP-9 aligned along stable subsets of microtubules and colocalized with the anterograde molecular motor protein, kinesin. We demonstrated a functional contribution of stable MTs in the enhanced trafficking of MMP-9 extracellularly, and showed that heterogeneity exists in macrophage cell populations with respect to MMP-9 production.

▼ O osso é um tipo especializado de tecido com alto teor mineral e desempenha variadas funções no organismo, como a reserva de cálcio, proteção de estruturas vitais e alavanca para a movimentação dos musculos. Constantemente o osso passa por processos de remodelação, o que mantém sua estrutura funcional e repara pequenas fraturas que ocorrem normalmente devido ao estresse do uso contínuo. O sistema de reparo funciona em perfeita sincronia mediante células que produzem os componentes ésseos e células que os reabsorvem permitindo a organização do tecido. Esse sistema de manuteção depende da interação entre estas células bem como dos sinais enviados por mediadores e moduladores. Varias proteínas funcionam como indutores de formação óssea, mas também no sentido de facilitar essa reconstrução. Dentre estas proteínas se encontram as BMPs, que possuem grande potencial osteoindutor, e MMPs, que atuam em diversas fases da construção e manutenção deste tecido. Particularmente a BMP-2 tem mostrado um potencial significativo em termos de indução e sua forma recombinante a rhBMP-2, produzida por engenharia recombinante, foi liberada para comercialização e utilizacao clínica. Quanto às MMPs, há importante função das MMP-2 e MMP-9 neste tecido. A primeira estruturando a matriz e modulando o processo de reabsorção nos processos inflamatórios inerentes ao reparo; a segunda atuando desde fases iniciais às tardias, produzida principalmente por osteoclastos e utilizada na remodelação do osso novo. Porém, esta capacidade de reparo do osso é limitada e defeitos ósseos de grande extensão exigem muito do organismo, podendo levar a um reparo que não se estrutura devidamente. Assim, várias técnicas foram propostas para estimular o desenvolvimento ósseo e a utilizacao de enxertos se mostrou eficaz para fornecer um arcabouço de crescimento, facilitando a implantacao do osso neofomado e protegendo o leito do defeito durante todo o extenso período de recuperação. O presente estudo enfocou três diferentes tipos de enxerto ósseo (autólogo, homólogo e heterólogo) e suas associações com a proteína rhBMP-2, verificando sob o aspecto bioquímico a relação de cada um com a quantidade de MMP-2 e MMP-9 em dois tempos de reparo diferentes. De maneira geral, verificou-se que no primeiro momento há maior produção de MMP-2 e os níveis de MMP-9 se mantém de forma relativamente constante nos dois tempos cirúrgicos. O enxerto autólogo apresenta melhores resultados, seguido dos obtidos no enxerto homólogo e heterólogo respectivamente, entretanto a adição de rhBMP-2 a estes enxertos não parece influenciar nos níveis de MMP-2 e MMP-9 nos dois períodos. A dosagem de cálcio revelou que se apresentavam mais mineralizados os grupos de enxerto autólogo e homólogo, os demais grupos além de apresentar menores niveis de cálcio, ainda decresceram nestes níveis no segundo período do experimento.

▼ A degradação da matriz extracelular e de proteínas da parede aórtica associada à inflamação é uma das principais características dos aneurismas da aorta abdominal (AAA). O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a participação das metaloproteinases 2 e 9 na formação de AAAs, através de um modelo experimental inédito de indução de AAA em ratos Wistar, desencadeado por duas potenciais causas de secreção e ativação de MMP-2 e 9: alteração do fluxo sanguíneo e lesão vascular externa na aorta. A formação de aneurismas foi observada em 60%-70% dos animais, apresentando diâmetro de 7 a 8 vezes maior que o diâmetro normal da aorta. Histologicamente observou-se remodelamento, intensa resposta inflamatória, destruição maciça de fibras elásticas e aumento da síntese de colágeno na parede aórtica. A expressão de ambas as formas de MMP-2 foram observadas tanto nos AAAs como nos grupos controles, neste com menor atividade, entretanto a expressão da pró e da MMP-9 ativa foram encontradas apenas nos AAAs. Conclusão: Nossos resultados sugerem que tanto as MMP-2 quanto as MMP-9 apresentam importante papel no desenvolvimento de AAA e este novo modelo de indução de AAA, pode ajudar a elucidar os mecanismos que desencadeiam a secreção e ativação das MMP-2 e MMP-9 na formação de aneurismas.
Degradation of extracellular matrix and proteins associated with inflammation of the aortic wall is the main characteristics of the abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The aim of this study was investigate the participation of Metalloproteinase 2 and 9 in AAA formation in Wistar rats. A novel experimental model of AAA was developed, providing two potential causes of MMPs secretion and activation, turbulent flow (caused by surgically induced extrinsic stenosis) and outside vascular injury is detailed described. The days analyzed were the 3rd and the 7th post surgery. Aneurysms were observed to occur in 60-70% of the Group AAA, exhibiting a major transversal diameter to 7 from 8 times larger than controls and sham groups. Histologically, the aneurysms wall showed extensive structural remodeling, intense inflammatory response, massive elastic fibers destruction and abundant collagen deposition. Increased pro- and active MMP-2 was demonstrated in the AAA and controls groups, whereas pro- and active MMP-9 were found to be expressed only in the AAA group. Conclusions: MMP-2 and MMP-9 may have a pivotal role in the development of experimental AAA. This model can help to elucidate the mechanisms which trigger off MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion and activation causing aneurysms.

▼ As a result of H. pylori adhesion to gastric epithelial cells the bacterial effector CagA is translocated intracellularly and, following its hierarchic tyrosine phosphorylation on multiple EPIYA motifs, deregulates cellular polarity and contributes to the induction of an elongation and scattering phenotype resembling epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Stromelysin-1/matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) has been reported to induce a sequence of molecular alterations leading to stable EMT conversion and carcinogenesis in epithelial cells. To identify the putative role of CagA protein in MMP-3 induction we exploited an experimental H. pylori infection system in gastric epithelial cell lines. We utilized isogenic mutants expressing CagA protein with variable numbers of terminal EPIYA and phosphorylation-deficient EPIFA motifs, as well as the cagA-KO and translocation-deficient cagE-KO strains. Increased levels of MMP-3 transcriptional activation was determined by RTqPCR, in the case of strains bearing more than 2 terminal EPIYA phosphorylation motifs in CagA. MMP-3 expression in total cell lysates and the corresponding culture supernatants was associated to CagA expression, translocation and was dependent on CagA phosphorylation. CagA-EPIYA phosphorylation-dependent increase in gelatinase and caseinolytic activity was also detected in culture supernatants, utilizing zymography. Significant increase in transcriptional activity of mesenchymal markers vimentin, Snail and ZEB1 and stem cell marker CD44, was observed only in the case of EPIYA phosphorylation-functional CagA. CagA EPIYA phosphorylationdependent increase in the transcriptional activation of MMP-9, another EMT marker, was also observed. Our data suggest that CagA protein can induce EMT through its successful intracellular translocation and subsequent phosphorylation, by a mechanism which also involves MMP-3, as well as, key mesenchymal and stemness markers Vimentin, Snail, ZEB1, and CD44.
Μετά τη προσκόλληση του Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) στα γαστρικά επιθηλιακά κύτταρα, η πρωτεΐνη CagA μεταφέρεται ενδοκυτταρικά στα γαστρικά επιθηλιακά κύτταρα και ακολουθεί η διαδοχική της φωσφορυλίωση σε κατάλοιπα τυροσίνης πολλαπλών μοτίβων EPIYA. Η φωσφορυλίωση των μοτίβων συντελεί στην απορρύθμιση της κυτταρικής πολικότητας των επιθηλιακών κυττάρων, καθώς και στην απόκτηση ενός φαινότυπου διασποράς και επιμήκυνσης, ο οποίος προσομοιάζει στην επιθηλιακή προς μεσεγχυματική μετατροπή (EMT). Η στρωμελυσίνη-1/ιστική μεταλλοπρωτεϊνάση-3 (MMP-3) έχει δειχθεί ότι επάγει μια ακολουθία μοριακών μεταβολών οι οποίες οδηγούν στην EMT και στη καρκινογένεση των επιθηλιακών κυττάρων. Για να προσδιορίσουμε το ρόλο της πρωτεΐνης CagA κατά την επαγωγή της MMP-3 χρησιμοποιήσαμε ένα πειραματικό σύστημα, όπου μολύνθηκαν γαστρικές επιθηλιακές σειρές με ποικίλα στελέχη του H. pylori. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, χρησιμοποιήσαμε ισογενή μεταλλαγμένα στελέχη, τα οποία εξέφραζαν τη πρωτεΐνη CagA με μεταβαλόμενο αριθμό λειτουργικών θέσεων φωσφορυλίωσης EPIYA, καθώς επίσης και τα αντίστοιχα μη…

Aloe plants have been suggested to be an important natural source of medical therapy agents (including for cancer) for several years. Throughout the world, pharmaceutical companies and institutions are struggling to isolate its most potent bioactive compounds as a primary means of using its activities. Regardless of the species used, the extraction procedure selected or the lack of specific compounds responsible for any given bioactivity, the fact is that we have been witnessing several debates, disputes and a lot of conflicting results arising on the claimed anticancer properties of Aloe species. During the last decade, several reports demonstrated that a subgroup of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) called gelatinases (MMP-2 and especially MMP-9), are largely responsible for colorectal cancer progression/metastasis, suggesting that MMP inhibitors (MMPIs) may be a powerful tool to reduce cancer invasion. Although Aloe’s activities suggest they might inhibit MMPs, no studies have related their reported anticancer activity with MMPI activities. Also, although approximately 500 species have been identified so far within the Aloe genus, A. vera is the most widely studied albeit other species such as A. arborescens have also been reported to exhibit similar bioactivities. Hence, the goal of the present study was to compare the anticancer potential of two Aloe species, A. vera and A. arborescens and to ascertain if they are specific MMP-9 and/or MMP-2 inhibitors. Different types of extraction were tested (100% (v/v) methanol, 50% (v/v) methanol and 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer pH 7) and specific bioactive compounds (proteins, total phenolic compounds, anthraquinones and total carbohydrates) were quantified and compared. Although there were a few variations between species and between extractions, 50% (v/v) methanol was selected as the best extraction procedure. Anticancer activities were measured in vitro using the wound healing model assay in the human colon cancer cells HT29, and A. vera showed significantly higher inhibitory potencial regarding wound closure. Furthermore, it was also evaluated their effects on gelatinase activities, measured by gelatin zymography and the DQ gelatinase assay. When assessing the total gelatinolytic activity, both species had a similar result of around 20% inhibition. Through the gelatin zimography we demonstrated that both MMP-9 pro-form and active form were inhibited, but only the MMP-2 pro form were inhibited, which corroborates the results obtained with the total gelatinolytic activity assay. The gelatinolytic activity of MMP-9 showed that although both species have the potencial to inhibit specifically this metalloproteinase, A. arborescens have a significantly higher inhibitory effectiveness. Overall, our data provided clear indication that A. arborescens and A. vera have indeed potential as inhibitory agents in cancer therapy, being able to reduce colon cancer cell proliferation and…

▼ Η HARP (Heparin Affin Regulatory Peptide) είναι ένας αυξητικός παράγοντας με Μ.Β. 18 kDa που ανήκει στην οικογένεια των αυξητικών παραγόντων που έχουν συγγένεια με την ηπαρίνη. Eμπλέκεται στην ανάπτυξη των νευριτών, την επούλωση πληγών και φαίνεται να παίζει σημαντικό επαγωγικό ρόλο στις διαδικασίες της ογκογένεσης, καθώς επάγει την αγγειογένεση και εμφανίζεται σε υψηλές συγκεντρώσεις τόσο σε καρκινικούς ιστούς, όσο και σε κυτταρικές σειρές καρκινικών κυττάρων.
Στο πλαίσιο μελέτης της σχέσης δομής/δράσης του αυξητικού αυτού παράγοντα, χρησιμοποιούνται τόσο συνθετικά πεπτίδια, όσο και ανασυνδυασμένες τροποποιημένες μορφές του αυξητικού αυτού παράγοντα. Σε φυσιολογικές συνθήκες, η εκκρινόμμενη HARP πέπτεται από ένζυμα του κυτταρικού μικροπεριβάλλοντος και προκύπτουν πεπτίδια που παρουσιάζουν βιολογικές δράσεις παρόμοιες ή και αντίθετες από αυτές της HARP. Φαίνεται λοιπόν πως η δράση του αυξητικού αυτού παράγοντα ρυθμίζεται τόσο στο επίπεδο βιοσύνθεσης και έκκρισης, όσο και από τη δράση ενζύμων του εξωκυττάριου χώρου.
Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκε η δράση ενός συνθετικού πεπτιδίου το οποίο αντιστοιχεί στα αμινοξέα 65-97 που εντοπίζονται στην ΤSR περιοχή προς το καρβοξυτελικό άκρο της HARP. Με δεδομένο ότι τι πεπτίδιο αυτό εμφανίζει αντιαγγειογενετική δράση, πραγματοποιήθηκαν χρονοεξαρτώμενα και δοσοεξαρτώμενα πειράματα, με σκοπό τη μελέτη της δράσης του στον πολλαπλασιασμό, τη μετανάστευση και την επούλωση πληγών. Στο πλαίσιο αυτών των μελετών, ελέγξαμε τη δράση του στην έκφραση των μεταλλοπρωτεϊνασών ΜΜP-2 και ΜΜP-9, των αναστολέων τους ΤΙMP-1 και ΤΙMP-2 καθώς και του κολλαγόνου και της ελαστίνης σε πρωτογενείς καλλιέργειες ενδοθηλιακών κυττάρων από ομφάλιο λώρο (HUVEC cells). Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως το συνθετικό αυτό πεπτίδιο καταστέλλει τον πολλαπλασιασμό, την μετανάστευση αλλά και την επούλωση πλήγών των κυττάρων HUVEC με δοδοεξαρτώμενο και στατιστικώς σημαντικό τρόπο. Επιπλέον από τα πειράματά μας δεν παρατηρήθηκε μεταβολή στα πρωτεϊνικά επίπεδα έκφρασης των μεταλλοπρωτεϊνασών ΜΜP-2 και ΜΜP-9 καθώς και των αναστολέων τους ΤΙMP-1 και ΤΙMP-2. Ωστόσο, παρατηρήθηκε στατιστικώς σημαντική μεταβολή στα επίπεδα γονιδιακής έκφρασης των αναστολέων ΤΙMP-1 και ΤΙMP-2 όπως επίσης και της ελαστίνης και του κολλαγόνου IV.
Heparin affin regulatory peptide (HARP) is an 18-kDa secreted growth factor that has a high affinity for heparin and a potent role on tumor growth and angiogenesis. HARP was originally described as a neurite outgrowth promoting molecule, which appears to increases during recovery from injury and is thought to be involved in angiogenesis expression, playing a major role in the cell growth and differentiation that are associated with regeneration in several tissues. HARP is expressed in several human tumors and tumor cell lines and is also indicated in high serum levels of patients with different types of cancer.
HARP contains two random coiled clusters of basic residues (N- and C-terminal) and two b-sheet domain. Each b-sheet domain contains a thrombospondin repeat I (TSR-I) motif, which have…

▼ Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)–induced Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a complex cellular pathway that causes epithelial cell scattering by breaking cell–cell contacts, eliminating apical–basal polarity, and replacing epithelial markers and characteristics with mesenchymal markers. Early EMT events include a brief period of cell spreading, followed by cell compaction and cell–cell contact breaks. A forward chemical genetics drug screen of 50,000 unique compounds measuring HGF–induced cell scattering identified 26 novel EMT inhibitors, including 2 proteolytic inhibitors. Here, we show that B5500–4, one of the EMT inhibitors from the screen, blocks HGF–induced EMT by a predicted blocking of the protease furin, in addition to secondarily blocking Beta–Secretase (BACE).We also show that MMP–12 and MMP–9 are required for HGF–induced EMT to progress. MMP–12 is required for cell contraction, and its inhibition produces a continuous cell spreading phenotype.We also demonstrate that both furin and BACE activity are required for HGF–induced EMT to proceed, but that they are involved in separate pathways. We show that BACE inhibition leads to a failure of cell spreading in early EMT, and that EphA2 is a member of this pathway. We also demonstrate that it is likely BACE2, and not BACE1 that is responsible for early cell spreading. Furin is also required for HGF–induced cell scattering, but does not play a role in the cell spreading process. These findings highlight the importance of proteolytic activity at the earliest stages of HGF–induced EMT.

Introduction: Salivary gland carcinomas (SGC) are
rare tumors characterized by an enormous morphological diversity
between different subtypes going along with diverse clinical
courses. The etiology of SGC is still unknown, although a
correlation has been shown between the occurrence of SGC and some
environmental factors, however, only a very small percentage of
malignancies develop as a direct result of these factors. There is
growing evidence that infectious agents are frequently associated
with human cancer. Recent studies show that Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) CMV infections are associated with
various epithelial malignancies. It has been shown that in various
tissues CMV and EBV could increase the expression of IL-6, NFκB,
MMP-2 and MMP-9. These proteins are associated with certain types
of cancer. We hypothesized that CMV and EBV could cause
inflammation and deregulation of genes involved in cell
proliferation and could induce the development of salivary gland
cancer. Aims: The aims of this study were to determine the
prevalence of CMV and EBV in SGC tissues, to compare the
immunohistochemical and nested PCR detection of CMV and EBV in SGC,
to investigate the viral protein expression in different
histological types of salivary gland cancer, to investigate the
immunohistochemical expression of prognostic markers IL6, MMP2,
MMP9 and NFκB, to investigate the association of the presence of
CMV and EBV and the immunohistochemical expression of these
prognostic markers and to analyze the polymorphisms of IL6, MMP2
and MMP9 genes and investigate the association of the polymorphisms
and the corresponding protein expression. Material and Methods:
This cross-section study included 93 patients diagnosed with
salivary gland cancer (SGC), surgically treated at the Clinic of
Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery, Clinical Center of
Serbia from 2004 to 2013. For the immunohistochemical analysis, the
control consisted of healthy salivary gland tissue from 20 autopsy
cases with no malignancies and salivary gland
pathology...

▼ Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are critical to an array of homeostatic processes but have also been implicated in many pathological states. The roles they play in innate immunity, regulation of physical barriers such as the blood brain barrier, and the healing process are the same ones that contribute to their role in autoimmune disease. While MMPs are best known for being dysregulated in chronic disease states, they also have the ability to contribute to disease onset. There are highly specific regulatory differences among MMPs. This is how the proper
MMP is transcribed, translated, and activated for a given situation. While some MMPs appear redundant, there are critical differences in each
MMP's regulatory controls. These controls are involved in regulation of MMPs and may be easily disrupted through endogenous and exogenous factors. As such, the carefully orchestrated
MMP cascade can also become misregulated and destructive. When the wrong
MMP is activated or an
MMP is expressed in the wrong amount, place, or time, this can result in damage or disease. These aspects of
MMP regulation are part of what confers their ability to initiate, promote, and maintain autoimmune disease. The review illustrates the ways in which two MMPs,
MMP-2 and
MMP-
9 of the gelatinase family, appear similar but are differentially regulated, have varied actions, and how they have different expression profiles in disease. First I will highlight how these MMPs are regulated. Subsequently, I will present how environmental exposures and hormonal influences can also influence these MMPs. Each way in which
MMP levels can be altered has implications in autoimmune disease. The main goal of highlighting endogenous and exogenous regulators of MMPs is to illustrate the points of regulation in which MMPs may contribute to autoimmune disease. These are points that can also potentially be used for therapeutic intervention. I will also review several autoimmune diseases in which MMPs play multiple roles in pathology. The discussion of autoimmune diseases will cover autoimmune arthritic diseases (which include rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and multiple sclerosis (MS).

▼ Purpose: In cases of septic knee arthritis there is excess of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) over tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), due to enhanced expression and activation which are induced by bacteria in comparison to rheumatic or degenerative arthritis. The aim of this study was to explore the expression levels of synovial gelatinase MMP-9 and its specific inhibitor TIMP-1 in septic and aseptic arthritis and their potential use as additional aids to clinical investigation.
Methods: Gelatin zymography and western blot analysis were applied in effusions from knees of patients with septic (SA/10 patients), rheumatic (RA/10 patients) and osteoarthritis (OA/10 patients).
Results: Zymographic analysis revealed that all samples contained latent MMP-2 activity, albeit activated MMP-2 appeared in more of the septic than aseptic effusions. Activated MMP-9 was not detected in osteoarthritic synovial fluid samples. Only trace amounts of MMP-9 activity were detected in 4/10 patients with RA, whereas higher MMP-9 levels were evident in all samples from SA (P=0.0444). In immunoblotting assays, samples from SA showed significantly higher levels of MMP-9 compared to samples from RA (P=0.0052), confirming zymographic results. Although no significant difference in TIMP-1 levels was observed, the estimated MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio of septic effusions was significantly higher compared to aseptic ones (P=0.0029).
Conclusions: The data presented suggest enhanced expression and activation of MMP-9 in septic native knee arthritis compared to aseptic. The presence of high levels of MMP-9 with concomitantly increased MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio and activated gelatinases in effusions, independent of neutrophilic counts, may be indicative for infection.
Σκοπός: Σε περίπτωση σηπτικής αρθρίτιδας του γόνατος, παρατηρείται υπεροχή των στρωματικών μεταλλοπρωτεϊνασών (MMPs) σε βάρος των ιστικών αναστολέων τους (TIMPs), εξαιτίας αυξημένης, επαγόμενης από βακτήρια, έκφρασης και ενεργοποίησης αυτών σε σύγκριση με την αυτοάνοσης αρχής ή εκφυλιστικού τύπου αρθρίτιδα. Ο σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής είναι ο προσδιορισμός των επιπέδων έκφρασης της ζελατινάσης MMP-9 και του ειδικού αναστολέα της, TIMP-1, σε αρθρικό υγρό από πάσχουσες αρθρώσεις και η διερεύνηση της πιθανότητας χρήσης τους ως διαγνωστικού κριτηρίου κατά την προσέγγιση της οξείας μονοαρθρίτιδας του γόνατος.
Υλικό & Μέθοδος: Ζυμογραφία ζελατίνης και ανάλυση western blot πραγματοποιήθηκε σε δείγματα αρθρικού υγρού από γόνατα ασθενών πασχόντων από σηπτική (SA/10 ασθενείς), ρευματική (RA/10 ασθενείς) και οστεοαρθρίτιδα (OA/10 ασθενείς).
Αποτελέσματα: Η ζυμογραφία αποκάλυψε έκφραση proΜΜΡ-2 σε όλα τα δείγματα αρθρικού υγρού, ενώ η ενεργοποιημένη μορφή της ήταν παρούσα σε περισσότερα σηπτικά. ΜΜΡ-9 δεν ανιχνεύθηκε σε οστεοαρθριτιδικά δείγματα. Ίχνη μόνον ΜΜΡ-9 δράσης ανιχνεύθηκε σε 4/10 ασθενείς με RA, ενώ υψηλότερα επίπεδα ΜΜΡ-9 πιστοποιήθηκαν σε όλα τα σηπτικά δείγματα (Ρ=0.0444). Στις δοκιμασίες ανοσοαποτύπωσης, δείγματα από ασθενείς με SA επέδειξαν σημαντικά υψηλότερα επίπεδα ΜΜΡ-9 σε…

▼ Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common and lethal disorder. AAAs are associated with atherosclerosis, chronic inflammation and tissue destruction. The aim of this study is to determine whether treatment with simvastatin can influence the development of experimental aortic aneurysms in a rabbit model.Materials and methods: A total of 76 rabbits were randomized in four groups: in group I (n=12) where the abdominal aortas were exposed to 0,9 NaCl and in group II (n=24), group III (n=24) and group IV (n=18) where the aortas were exposed to CaCl2 0.5 mol/L for 15 minutes after laparotomy. Group III received 2mg/kg simvastatin daily starting 7 days prior to laparotomy and in group IV the daily treatment with simvastatin started 7 days after laparotomy Animals were sacrificed at intervals of first, second, third and fourth week to obtain measurements of aortic diameter and histological examination. Moreover, immunohistochemistry was used in order to examine the relative distribution of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 within the aortic aneurysms.Results: The increase of aortic diameter in animals of group I was ranging from 4.6% to 7.6%, in group II from 1.2±0.27mm (41%) to 2.33±0.26 mm (85%) (p<0.001 in all cases), in group III from 9-18% (group II vs group III, p<0.001 in all cases) and in group IV from 1.22±0.17mm ( 36%) to 1.25±0.17mm (38%). Moreover, aortic specimens of group II presented a statistically significant increase in MMP-2 and MMP-9 immunoexpression compared to other groups (I, III, IV) (p<0.05 for all comparisons), with the exception of animals of group IV at the end of second week, but not statistically significant increase in TIMP-1 immunoreactivity (p>0.05 for all comparisons. Conclusions: Simvastatin may prove clinically significant in suppressing the development and expansion of AAAs and thereby, in reducing the risk of rupture and the need for surgery.

▼ L’endothélium préserve l'homéostasie vasculaire et tissulaire qui contrôle plusieurs processus physiologiques dans les corps humain. Lors de certaines pathologies, l'intégrité vasculaire peut être perturbée par une diversité de médiateurs de perméabilité qui interrompent la fonction barrière de cet épithélium, et provoquer des lésions tissulaires au cours de la progression de la maladie. Par conséquent, l'intégrité de la barrière endothéliale est essentielle pour l'homéostasie vasculaire. Dans le cas de la fièvre hémorragique due à la dengue, de nombreuses voies de signalisation induisent une perméabilité vasculaire qui résulte d'une rupture de la barrière hémato-encéphalique qui, dans certains cas, peuvent permettre la pénétration virale dans le système nerveux central (SNC). La plupart de ces voies de signalisation (y compris le TNF-alpha) sur-activent les enzymes appelées métalloprotéinases matricielles (
MMP), qui induisent la dégradation de la matrice extracellulaire (MEC) et des protéines intercellulaires régissant la perméabilité vasculaire. Parmi ces enzymes, les
MMP gélatinolytiques (
MMP-
9 et
MMP-2) sont considérées comme la classe la plus importante de
MMP puisqu'elles sont capables de dégrader le collagène de type IV, constituant principal de la MEC, et les jonctions cellulaires PECAM- 1 et VE-cadhérine. Ainsi, dans cette étude, nous avons développé deux approches pour inhiber l'activité de
MMP-
9 et protéger la perméabilité vasculaire in vitro. Ces approches incluent (i) des antagonistes de
MMP-
9 conçus in silico, tels que le composée HA048 (ii) des composés lipophénoliques synthétiques dérivés du resvératrol. Ce dernier existe naturellement dans les tiges de raisin, les arachides et plusieurs autres plantes et qui est capable d'inhiber l'expression et l'activité de la
MMP-
9. Bien que le resvératrol ait plusieurs activités biologiques testées in vitro, son utilisation dans des modèles animaux est limitée en raison de sa faible biodisponibilité, de son métabolisme rapide et de son élimination. Par conséquent, cette étude a trois objectifs principaux. Premièrement, de trouver un nouveau composé capable d'inhiber l'activité de
MMP-
9 in vitro. Deuxièmement, de vérifier s’il peut protéger l'intégrité de la couche endothéliale dans les HUVEC. Enfin, de passer à des études précliniques sur le modèle de souris dengue afin de vérifier son activité, sa toxicité et sa biodisponibilité. Outre le resvératrol et le SB-3CT (inhibiteur commercial de la
MMP-
9), nous avons constaté que le resvératrol-acide linoléique oméga 6 (RES-LA), le resvératrol-docosanoïque (RES-C22) et le HA048 ont montré la plus forte activité anti-
MMP-
9 parmi d'autres composés. Cependant, RES-LA a été préférentiellement choisi par rapport à RES-C22 en raison de sa meilleure solubilité. Par conséquent, nous avons utilisé un nouveau concept de formulation de ces composés en les solubilisant dans un solvant compatible et moins toxique pour des expériences in vivo, un solvant eutectique profond naturel (NADES), composé de 1,2-propanediol:ChCl: eau…

▼ Au cours de la réparation cutanée, l’étape de réépithélialisation est essentielle car son objectif est de restaurer la fonction barrière de la peau. Elle consiste en une série d’étapes coordonnées où les kératinocytes migrent, prolifèrent et se différencient jusqu’à restauration complète de l’épiderme. Régulée de façon simultanée au niveau intracellulaire mais également extracellulaire, elle dépend de la production de facteurs de croissance, de métalloprotéases matricielles (MMPs) et de protéines de la matrice extracellulaire sur lesquelles les kératinocytes adhèrent et migrent par l’intermédiaire de récepteurs de la famille des intégrines ou des syndécans. Parmi les ligands matriciels, la laminine 332 (LN332), qui est connue comme étant la protéine d’adhésion majeure des kératinocytes de l’épiderme, s’avère être également impliquée au cours de la réépithélialisation et jouer un rôle important dans les processus d’adhésion et de migration des kératinocytes, notamment par le biais de son domaine globulaire LG4/5 localisé à l’extrémité C-term de sa chaine 3. De récentes études ont montré que ce domaine LG4/5 induit la migration des kératinocytes normaux humains (NHK), impliquant des MMPs pro-migratoires
MMP-1 et
MMP-
9. Puisque les domaines LG4/5 ont été montrés comme participant à la dynamique du cytosquelette et au mouvement cellulaire par le biais des récepteurs syndécan-1 et -4, mon laboratoire d’accueil a décidé d’étudier l’implication du récepteur syndécan-1 dans ce processus d’expression de la
MMP-
9. Les analyses PCR et les résultats de zymographie obtenus ont révélé que le syndécan-1 joue un rôle dans l’expression et l’activation de la
MMP-
9 induite par le domaine LG4/5. De plus, la déplétion de l’expression du syndécan-1 dans les NHK a confirmé ces résultats. De précédents résultats de mon laboratoire d’accueil ont montré que le domaine LG4/5 induit la formation de filopodes médiée par le syndécan-1 au niveau du front de migration des kératinocytes. De ce fait, nous avons effectué des zymographies de gélatine in situ chez des NHK en migration afin d’observer la localisation de la
MMP-
9 et de savoir si cette dernière était trouvée au niveau de ces structures d’adhésion protrusives. Nous avons observé des zones de digestion de gélatine sous les NHK ressemblant à des points de contact d’adhésion. Leur nombre est augmenté chez des NHK traités avec le domaine LG4/5 de la LN332. L’utilisation d’inhibiteurs spécifiques des gélatinases et de la
MMP-
9 ont révélé que cette dernière est responsable de la formation de ces zones de digestion de gélatine. Parce que ces structures évoquent des podosomes, nous avons décidé de révéler leurs constituants majoritaires, à savoir la cortactine, la vinculine, l’-actinine, VASP, WASP ou encore Arp2/3. Dans le même temps nous avons également révélé le syndécan-1 afin de voir si ce dernier était présent dans ces structures. Nos résultats ont montré que tous les marqueurs des podosomes étaient localisés soit sous la forme d’un point à l’intérieur des zones de digestion pour les…

▼ Valtimonkovettumatauti eli ateroskleroosi on hitaasti etenevä verisuonten seinämiä jäykistävä ja ahtauttava tauti. Sen yleisimmät kliiniset ilmenemismuodot ovat sepelvaltimotauti ja aivoverenkierron sairaudet. Valtimon seinämän tulehdusta pidetään keskeisenä tekijänä ateroskleroosin komplikaatioille kuten sydäninfarktille. Tulehdussolut erittävät matriksin metalloproteinaaseja (MMP:ja), jotka syövyttävät valtimon seinämän ja verisuonen ontelon välistä sidekudoskattoa, mikä saattaa aiheuttaa seinämän repeämisen. Sepelvaltimotautia sairastavien potilaiden valtimoiden tulehdussoluista on löydetty erityisesti MMP-9:ää, jota saattaa erittyä myös verenkiertoon. Tässä väitöskirjatyössä tutkittiin eri tekijöiden vaikutusta seerumin MMP-9:n pitoisuuteen. Erityisesti haluttiin selvittää seerumin MMP-9:n yhteyttä valtimon seinämän tulehdukseen ateroskleroosissa.
Seerumin MMP-9:n yhteyttä ateroskleroosiin ja seerumin tulehdusarvoihin tutkittiin terveillä miehillä sekä sepelvaltimotautipotilailla. Kolesterolilääkkeen (pravastatiini) vaikutusta seerumin MMP-9:ään selvitettiin lumelääke-kontrolloidussa kaksoissokkotutkimuksessa. Lisäksi alkoholin kulutuksen vaikutusta tutkittiin suurkuluttajilla ja kohtuukäyttäjillä.
Seerumin MMP-9 pitoisuus oli koholla sepelvaltimotautia sairastavilla potilailla, joilla oli varjoainekuvauksella todettu vaikea kolmen suonen ahtauma. Lievempää sepelvaltimotautia sairastavien potilaiden ja verrokkien välillä ei ollut eroa seerumin MMP-9:n pitoisuudessa. Seerumin MMP-9:llä oli positiivinen yhteys sekä valkosolumäärän että hapettuneen LDL-kolesterolin vasta-ainepitoisuuden kanssa. Hapettunut LDL saattaa siis lisätä MMP-9:n tuotantoa valtimon seinämässä, kuten on aikaisemmin osoitettu soluviljelmässä. Kolesterolia alentava lääkitys statiineilla vähensi seerumin MMP-9:n pitoisuutta kuuden kuukauden hoidon aikana. Alkoholin suurkulutuksen todettiin liittyvän kohonneeseen seerumin MMP-9:n pitoisuuteen verrattuna kohtuukäyttöön. Aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa alkoholin käytön on havaittu nostavan seerumin tulehdusarvoja, kuten CRP:a ja valkosolumäärää.
Tulokset osoittivat, että seerumin MMP-9 saattaa olla peräisin valtimoista ja heijastaa valtimon seinämän tulehdusta. Seerumin MMP-9:n mittaus voi osoittautua hyödylliseksi arvioitaessa sepelvaltimotaudin vaikeutta.; Atherogenesis starts early in life, but it usually takes several decades before clinical symptoms appear. Most acute complications of atherosclerosis are the result of rupture of an atheromatous plaque with intraluminal thrombus formation. Inappropriate extracellular matrix degradation has been implicated to play an important role in such plaque disruption. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes which participate in this process. Increased expression of several MMPs and presence of MMP activity has been observed in the chronic inflammation of atherosclerotic arteries. There is active synthesis of MMP-9 by macrophages and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerotic plaques of patients with unstable angina, suggesting the role…

▼ INTRODUCTION: Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional glycoprotein found in various tissues. It plays an important role in physiological and pathological processes, including cancer biology.PURPOSE: The aim of this study was a) to evaluate OPN serum levels in lung cancer patients in comparison with samples from healthy volunteers, b) to correlate pre-treatment OPN serum levels with clinicopathological parameters, response to therapy and overall survival and c) to seek any possible association of OPN levels with circulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9).MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the present study, 90 patients with primary lung cancer were enrolled - mean age 66.22±9.09 years (70 with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and 20 with Small Cell Lung Cancer) - and 40 healthy subjects were used as a control group. The serum levels of OPN, VEGF and MMP-9 were measured by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay).RESULTS: OPN serum levels were elevated in lung cancer patients compared to healthy subjects (52.10 ng/ml vs. 22.98 ng/ml, p<0.0001). In addition, smoker patients showed significantly higher levels of OPN and MMP-9 than non-smokers and ex-smokers (p=0.012 and p=0.008, respectively). Also, patients with worse performance status exhibited higher levels of OPN, VEGF and MMP-9 (p=0.0036, p<0.0001 and p=0.0004, respectively). Those who had significant weight loss, displayed higher levels of OPN (p=0.0003). Furthermore, patients without evidence of metastatic disease in the lymph nodes, had lower levels of VEGF and MMP-9 (p=0.0101 and p=0.0144, respectively). There was no association of OPN, VEGF and MMP-9 serum levels with response to chemotherapy. Patients with OPN circulating levels above the median value had worse overall survival (39 weeks vs. 64.6 weeks, p=0.0018, log-rank test). In addition, logistic regression analysis demonstrated that OPN serum levels trended towards being an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (p=0.0656, 95% CI 0.9723-2.6563). Similarly worse overall survival, was found for the individuals with values of VEGF above the median value (43.30 weeks vs. 62.90 weeks, p=0.0065). Finally, OPN serum levels were positively correlated with both VEGF and MMP-9 levels (p=0.0008, Spearman r=0.36, and p<0.0001, Spearman r=0.42, respectively).CONCLUSION: In lung cancer patients, OPN might serve as a prognostic biomarker. Furthermore, the positive correlation between OPN and both VEGF and MMP-9 could implicate new insights in tumour angiogenesis.

▼ Inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS) activates a complex network of signaling molecules in dying neurons, surviving neurons, and glia. In contrast to mammals, inflammatory signals in zebrafish are required for injury-induced neuronal regeneration in the forebrain. In the retina of zebrafish, Müller glia serve as the resident stem cell and the cellular origin for regenerative neurogenesis. Our lab previously identified the expression of an inflammatory protease known as matrix metalloproteinase
9 (
mmp-
9) following photoreceptor death (Calinescu et al., 2009).
MMP-
9 has many functions during CNS development and following injury, however, the function of
Mmp-
9 during zebrafish development and photoreceptor regeneration is unknown. The purpose of my dissertation was to use the zebrafish model to (1) determine how inflammation regulates Müller glia-derived photoreceptor regeneration in adults, (2) investigate the role of
Mmp-
9 as a component of the inflammatory response, and (3) determine potential developmental phenotypes in the absence of
mmp-
9. My results show that genes encoding inflammatory molecules are strongly induced by photoreceptor death, and anti-inflammatory treatment suppresses both the number of injury-induced progenitors and regenerated photoreceptors. Following photoreceptor injury and death,
mmp-
9 is expressed in Müller glia, the intrinsic retinal stem cell, and Müller glia-derived photoreceptor progenitors. Deleting
mmp-
9 results in an over production of injury-induced progenitors and regenerated photoreceptors, but compromises the maturation and survival of regenerated cones. These data provide a link between injury-induced inflammation in the vertebrate CNS and
Mmp-
9 function during photoreceptor regeneration.
Chapter one begins with a brief overview of our current understanding of regulators that govern Müller glia entry into the cell cycle and progenitor proliferation. Next, I discuss inflammatory mechanisms that govern neurogenesis in vertebrates, and finally I review the key literature about the inflammatory protease,
Mmp-
9. In chapter two, I present data supporting the role for injury-induced inflammation and
Mmp-
9 function governing photoreceptor regeneration.
In chapter three, I characterize additional
mmp-
9 mutants and developmental phenotypes associated with the two mutants used in studies from chapter two. Finally, I conclude with a brief discussion of future experiments based on my dissertation work. Together, my work provides a link between injury-induced inflammation in the vertebrate CNS and
Mmp-
9 function during photoreceptor regeneration.

▼ SummaryObjectivesKeloids are a type of benign proliferative fibromas that form following trauma. Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), produced in multinuclear giant cells,1 is considered a subclass of the MMPs (a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases), and is involved in processes that occur during cutaneous wound healing such as, inflammation matrix remodelling and epithelization. The activity of MMP-9 has been shown to be critical for several of these processes in the content of pathological conditions, such as hypertrophic scars and keloids. In addition, a pyrimidine analogue with antimetabolite activity, 5-fluorouracil,when given intralesionally, is an alternative therapy for keloids.Intralesional cryotherapy is a technique for treatment of keloids which can have uncomfortable side-effects like, pain, oedema, infections, hypoesthesia, milium cyst formation, necrosis and persistent hypopigmentation. In this study we investigated the effect of three different keloid treatments in immunoreactivity of MMP-9 in multinuclear giant cells in skin keloids. Material and methodForty five patients were enrolled in this study. Pregnant women, women planning pregnancy in the near future, patients with chronic renal failure or abnormal liver function tests or full blood count were excluded from the study. All patients were treatment naıve. The study consisted of three treatment arms, as described below:•5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) arm: Fifteen patients were treated once weekly with intralesional 5-FU 50 mg/cc. The delivered dose was adjusted according to the extent of the lesions, and did not exceed 100 mg per session (2 cc). The solution was injected using a 27-gauge needle until slight blanching was clinically visible. Only the indurated parts of the keloids were treated by multiple injections, separated by 1 cm approximately.•Cryotherapy arms: Fifteen patients were treated once monthly with intralesional cryotherapy. •Combination arm: Fifteen patients were treated once monthly with intralesional 5-FU plus cryotherapy.Lesional skin biopsies were taken from patients with skin keloids, before introduction of any treatment and after treatments, to assess the MMP-9 immunohistochemical result.Immunochemistry stain of MMP-9 was carried out using monoclonal antibody DACO (anti-MMP-9 from DAKOAO150) as described in Marzano et al., 2010.Two independent blind observers evaluated the serial sections. Immunoreactivity was scored according to the number of immunoreactive cells per field (9200), as follows: 0 = no immunoreactive cells; 1 = 1–5 cells; 2 = 6–20 cells; 3 = ≥20 cells. A P-value of <0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. ResultsMMP-9 was expressed strongly at the multinuclear giant cells of keloid biopsies. The score according to the number of immunoreactive multinuclear giant cells between pre and post treatment was significantly decreased in the three therapies (P < 0.05).The specific role of MMP-9 in normal healing is not known. It has been reported that MMP-9 is present during normal healing for the…

▼ Leukemia is a hematological neoplasm with abnormal genetic mutation or chromosomal translocation in the myeloblast or lymphoblast, and characterized by accumulation of immature cells and malfunction of lymphocytes and myeloid-derived cells. The prognosis of treatment depends on genetic mutation, chromosomal aberration, disease progression and age of patients. Currently, bone marrow transplantation is a useful therapeutic strategy, but the success in therapy is limited by the bone marrow of donors and life-threatening events such as immune repulsion. Although chemotherapy improves leukemia treatment, long-term chemotherapy usually leads to the production of drug-resistant cancer cells. Thus, the development of new modality in overcoming drug-resistant should be beneficial for in leukemia therapy. In this thesis, Naja nigricollis toxin γ, piceatannol, caffeine, and Bungarus multicinctus protease inhibitor-like protein 1 (PILP-1) are employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms in regulating apoptosis and invasion of leukemic cell lines K562 and U937. Hopefully, the signaling pathways elicited by these treatments may be aid in identifying new targets in treating leukemia. Toxin γ inducing cell death is found to evoke p38 MAPK-mediated Bcl-2 down-regulation, which facilitates mitochondria dysfunction, ROS generation and cytiochrome c release. Finally, activation of caspases leads to apoptotic death of toxin γ-treated cells. Piceatannol elicits Ca2+/p38α MAPK- mediated c-Jun and ATF-2 phosphorylation, leading to up-regulation of Fas/FasL protein expression and autocrine Fas-mediated death pathway activation. Caffeine treatment down-regulates
MMP-2/-
9 down-regulation via Ca2+/ROS-mediated inactivation of ERK/c-Fos and activation of p38 MAPK/c-Jun pathway. Consequently, caffeine treatment suppresses invasion of leukemia cells. PILP-1-induced ADAM17 down-regulation suppresses Lyn-mediated Akt phosphorylation, resulting in death of PILP-1-treated leukemia cells. Taken together, the results of the present study elucidate the signaling pathways responsible for apoptosis and invasion of leukemia cells. Moreover, these findings might suggest new targets in developing therapeutic strategy in treating leukemia.

▼ Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in the degradation of extracellular matrix, and up-regulation of
MMP expression promotes invasion and migration of cancer cells. EGF-elicited EGFR activation has been proven to be involved in up-regulating
MMP expression. Aberrant EGFR-mediated signaling pathway causes the malignancy of breast cancer. Thus, suppression of EGF/EGFR-mediated signaling should be a promising strategy in improving breast cancer therapy. Gallic acid is a polyhydroxylphenolic compound naturally occurring in various plants and fruits. Previous studies showed that gallic acid could down-regulate
MMP-2 and
MMP-
9 expression in cancer cells. Thus, the aim of the present study is to explore whether gallic acid regulates EGF-induced
MMP expression and EGF/EGFR- mediated signaling pathway in breast cancer MCF-7 cells. EGF treatment promoted MCF-7 cell invasion and migration, and up-regulated
MMP-
9 mRNA and protein levels via activation of EGFR and Src. Activated EGFR and Src synergistically induced phosphorylation of Akt/NFκB and ERK/c-Jun, leading to
MMP-
9 up-regulation. Gallic acid abolished the synergy effect of EGFR and Src. Consequently, gallic acid induced Akt/NFκB and ERK/c-Jun inactivation. Meanwhile, gallic acid derivatives including syringic acid, 3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and methyl gallate also showed inhibitory effect on EGF-induced
MMP-
9 expression and migration/invasion in MCF-7 cells. Taken together, our data reveal that gallic acid and its derivatives suppress EGFR/Src/Akt/ERK axis-mediated
MMP-
9 expression, leading to inhibit EGF-induced invasion and migration of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

▼ Transplantation is the optimal form of therapy for
patients with end-stage liver disease; however, the use of organs
with hepatic steatosis is often associated with increased risks for
poor function and graft loss. In addition, ischemia reperfusion
(IR) injury leads to cellular damage that can culminate in
functional impairment and loss of graft. Furthermore, IR injury is
aggravated by pre-existing steatosis and may involve additional
mechanisms and mediators of cellular damage. Current models to
study IR in vitro are not well defined and may overlook periods of
injury that are involved in transplantation. In this thesis, I
present an in vitro model for IR injury that includes multiple
phases of injury and leads to the upregulation of heme oxygenase-1
(HO-1), and possibly enhances the expression of matrix
metalloproteinase-
9 (
MMP-
9). As graft HO-1 expression correlates
positively with reduced injury, but
MMP-
9 expression is associated
with increased injury, I therefore examined the utility of in vitro
gene therapies to affect the expression of these proteins. We
conclude that the in vitro model of ischemia and reperfusion is a
promising tool to study the cellular response to IR and may provide
a platform for the development of future therapies which could have
clinical applications.

▼ `Background:` Early on I identified that reticular basement membrane (Rbm) in current smokers with COPD was highly fragmented, with cracks termed “clefts” containing cells. This looked like the described hallmark of EMT (epithelial mesenchymal transition). I followed this preliminary observation with a comprehensive cross-sectional study in which I hypothesized that the airway epithelium is activated in smokers, and that this may promote EMT, but that this will be especially active in COPD. As a part of my thesis, I also investigated the
expression and activity of the anti-inflammatory enzyme HDAC2 (histone deacetylase 2) which is reported to be reduced in COPD lungs and may account for associated pulmonary inflammation. I hypothesised that the current literature is correct in stating that HDAC2 is down-regulated in COPD airways and also that these reduced HDAC2 levels are normalised by aggressive inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and smoking cessation in patients with COPD.
(Methods) (and) (results:) Endobronchial biopsies (ebb) from current smokers with COPD (COPD-CS) and ex-smokers with COPD (COPD-ES), smokers with normal lung function (NS) and never-smoking controls (NC) stained for markers of EMT, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), fibroblast protein (S100A4), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vimentin and cytokeratins. To confirm the extent of suppressed HDAC2 ebb were immuno-stained for HDAC2. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, I assessed the effects of ICS on Rbm fragmentation and HDAC2. Compared to NC, there was significant fragmentation of the Rbm in COPD-CS, COPD-ES and NS groups. COPD-CS, NS and COPD-ES demonstrated increases in staining for: basal epithelial S100A4, epithelial EGFR and MMP-9 and S100A4 for cells in Rbm ``clefts`` compared to NC. Dual staining revealed that vimentin (a mesenchymal marker) co-stained with cytokeratin (an epithelial marker). ICS normalised Rbm fragmentation. Compared to NC there was significant increase in HDAC2 positive cells in NS in the lamina propria (LP) but a decrease in COPD-CS. However, this latter abnormality was due to a reduction in total LP cells and not % cell HDAC2 staining. There were significantly more HDAC2 positive cells in COPD-ES compared to COPD-CS, but again due to an increase in total cell numbers. ICS made no difference to HDAC2 staining.
`Conclusions:` This is the first description of likely EMT in smoking and COPD. ICS reversed Rbm fragmentation. HDAC2 expression was reduced in smokers but confounded by changes in cellularity. Quitting does seem to have a real effect on upregulating HDAC2, but it is not affected by ICS.
