Neutral metalloproteinases degrade components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen types I-V, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. However, their ability to degrade intact glomerular basement membrane (GBM) has not previously been investigated. Incubation of [3H]GBM (50,000 c.p.m.; pH 7.5; 24 h at 37 degrees C) with purified gelatinase or stromelysin (2 units) resulted in significant GBM degradation: gelatinase, 46 +/- 2.2; stromelysin, 59 +/- 5.8 (means +/- S.E.M.; percentage release of non-sedimentable radioactivity; n = 4). In contrast, 2 units of collagenase released only 5.6 +/- 0.52% (n = 3) of the [3H]GBM radioactivity compared with 2.0 +/- 0.15% (n = 7) released from [3H]GBM incubated alone. Sephadex G-200 gel chromatography of supernatants obtained from incubations of [3H]GBM with either gelatinase or stromelysin confirmed the ability of these enzymes to degrade GBM and revealed both high-(800,000) and relatively low-(less than 20,000) Mr degradation products for both enzymes. GBM degradation by gelatinase and stromelysin was dose-dependent (range 0.02-2.0 units), near maximal between pH 6.0 and 8.6, and was completely inhibited (greater than 95%) by 2 mM-o-phenanthroline. Collagenase (2 units) did not enhance the degradation of GBM by either gelatinase (0.02 or 0.2 unit) or stromelysin (0.02 or 0.2 unit). Our results indicate that metalloproteinase-mediated GBM degradation by neutrophils and glomeruli may be attributable to gelatinase (neutrophils) and/or stromelysin (glomeruli) and suggest an important role for these proteinases in glomerular pathophysiology.

The placenta is a temporal, dynamic and diverse organ with important immunological features that facilitate embryonic and fetal development and survival, notwithstanding the fact that several aspects of its formation and function closely resemble tumor progression. Placentation in mammals is commonly used to characterize the evolution of species, including insights into human evolution. Although most placentas are discarded after birth, they are a high-yield source for the isolation of stem/progenitor cells and are rich in extracellular matrix (ECM), representing an important resource for regenerative medicine purposes. Interactions among cells, ECM and bioactive molecules regulate tissue and organ generation and comprise the foundation of tissue engineering. In the present article, differences among several mammalian species regarding the placental types and classifications, phenotypes and potency of placenta-derived stem/progenitor cells, placental ECM components and current placental ECM applications were reviewed to highlight their potential clinical and biomedical relevance.
