Recombinant 72 kDa gelatinase A and a truncated form lacking the C-terminal domain were shown to be activated by organomercurials and to possess similar activities towards a number of substrates. The truncated proenzyme differed from the full-length gelatinase in that it could not be activated by a membrane activator and did not bind tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2. Kinetic studies also showed that the inhibition of the activated truncated enzyme, by both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, was considerably decreased compared with the full-length enzyme. We conclude that the C-terminal domain plays an important role in the regulation of gelatinase A by a potential physiological activator and inhibitors.

Triiodothyronine (T3) increases bone resorption, but its effects on matrix metalloprotease (MMP) expression in bone are unknown. We tested the effects of T3 on collagenase-3 and gelatinase A and B expression in MC3T3 osteoblastic cells. T3 at 1 nM to 1 μM for 24–72 h increased collagenase-3 and gelatinase B mRNA levels, but it did not increase gelatinase A transcripts. In addition, T3 increased immunoreactive collagenase and gelatinase activity. Cycloheximide prevented the stimulatory effect of T3 on collagenase-3 but not on gelatinase B transcripts. Indomethacin did not prevent the effect of T3 on either MMP. T3 did not alter the decay of collagenase-3 or gelatinase B mRNA in transcriptionally arrested MC3T3 cells, and it increased the rate of collagenase-3 and gelatinase B gene transcription. Although T3enhanced the expression of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in MC3T3 cells, it increased collagen degradation in cultured intact rat calvariae. In conclusion, T3 increases collagenase-3 and gelatinase B synthesis in osteoblasts by transcriptional mechanisms. This effect may contribute to the actions of T3 on bone matrix remodeling.
