Оперативное вмешательство - один из основных методов лечения глаукомы. Однако развитие избыточного рубцевания созданных путей оттока определяет результат хирургического лечения в отдаленные сроки. Процессы рубцевания на данный момент недостаточно изучены. Цель исследования - оценка роли матриксной металлопротеиназы-9, ее ингибиторов в процессах рубцевания у больных с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой после оперативного лечения. Методика. Для выявления возможных маркеров избыточного рубцевания методом твердофазного иммуноферментного анализа определяли содержание матриксных металлопротеиназ-9, тканевых ингибиторов металлопротеиназ 2 и -3 в слезной жидкости у 37 пациентов с активной стадией первичной остроугольной глаукомы в динамике послеоперационного периода. Средний возраст пациентов составил 52,8 лет. В зависимости от исхода оперативного вмешательства все пациенты были разделены на 2 группы - с благоприятным исходом (без избыточного рубцевания) и с неблагоприятным исходом (с избыточным рубцеванием) на месте сформированных дополнительных путей оттока внутриглазной жидкости в послеоперационном периоде. Группа контроля включала 20 человек в возрасте от 50 до 66 лет без сопутствующей офтальмологической и соматической патологии в стадии обострения. Результаты. В динамике показано изменение концентрации матриксной металлопротеиназы-9 и ее ингибиторов в послеоперационном периоде. Анализ данных свидетельствует об обратной зависимости уровня матриксной металлопротеиназы-9 и тканевых ингибиторов металлопротеиназы 2 и 3 типов с исходом операции - чем выше концентрация металлопротеиназы-9 и ниже концентрация тканевых ингибиторов металлопротеиназ 2, -3 в слезной жидкости, тем выше вероятность неблагоприятного исхода в виде рубцевания сформированных дополнительных путей оттока внутриглазной жидкости в послеоперационном периоде. Заключение. Мониторинг уровня металлопротеиназ и их тканевых ингибиторов после проведения хирургического лечения пациентов с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой позволяет прогнозировать раннее рубцевание, дает возможность разработки новых методов лечения как в раннем, так и в позднем послеоперационном периоде. Surgery is one of the major treatments for glaucoma; however excessive scarring of created outflow patways affects the long-term outcome. At the present time, scarring processes are not sufficiently studied. Aim. To evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and its inhibitors in scarring after surgical treatment of open-angle glaucoma. Methods. Concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 2 and 3 were measured in tear fluid of 37 patients (mean age, 52.8) with active primary open-angle glaucoma in dynamics during the postoperative period to identify possible markers of excessive scarring. Based on the surgery outcome, all patients were divided into two groups, with a favorable outcome (without excessive scarring) and an unfavorable outcome (with excessive scarring) in the created additional outflow pathways for the intraocular fluid in the postoperative period. The control group included 20 subjects aged 50-66 without eye disease or somatic disease at exacerbation stage. Results. Analysis of changes in concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and its inhibitors in the postoperative period showed their inverse relationship with the surgery outcome. The higher was the metalloproteinase 9 level and the lower the level of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 2 and 3 the higher was the probability of unfavorable outcome evident as excessive scarring of the formed additional pathways for tear fluid outflow in the postoperative period. Conclusion. Postoperative monitoring of metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors allows to predict early scarring and to develop new treatments both in early and late postoperative periods.

The role of tumor-derived matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) in cancer cell dissemination was analyzed by employing two variants of human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, HT-hi/diss and HT-lo/diss, which differ by 50-100-fold in their ability to intravasate and metastasize in the chick embryo. HT-hi/diss and HT-lo/diss were compared by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot analyses for mRNA and protein expression of nine MMPs (MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -9, -10, -13, and -14) and three TIMPs (TIMP-1, -2, and -3) in cultured cells in vitro and in primary tumors in vivo. MMP-1 and MMP-9 were more abundant in the HT-hi/diss variant, both in cultures and in tumors, whereas the HT-lo/diss variant consistently expressed higher levels of MMP-2, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2. Small interfering RNA-mediated down-regulation of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 increased intravasation of HT-lo/diss cells. Coordinately, treatment of the developing HT-hi/diss tumors with recombinant TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 significantly reduced HT-hi/diss cell intravasation. However, a substantial increase of HT-hi/diss dissemination was observed upon small interfering RNA-mediated down-regulation of three secreted MMPs, including the interstitial collagenase MMP-1 and the two gelatinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, but not the membrane-tethered MMP-14. The addition of recombinant pro-MMP-9 protein to the HT-hi/diss tumors reversed the increased intravasation of HT-hi/diss cells, in which MMP-9 was stably down-regulated by short hairpin RNA interference. This rescue did not occur if the pro-MMP-9 was stoichiometrically complexed with TIMP-1, pointing to a direct role of the MMP-9 enzyme in regulation of HT-hi/diss intravasation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that tumor-derived MMPs may have protective functions in cancer cell intravasation, i.e. not promoting but rather catalytically interfering with the early stages of cancer dissemination.

Several families of enzymes are responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins during the remodeling of tissues. An important family of such enzymes is that of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). To control MMP-mediated ECM breakdown, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are able to inhibit MMP activity. A disturbed balance of MMPs and TIMPs is found in various pathologic conditions, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis. The role of MMPs in pathology has been extensively described in the literature. The main focus of this review lies in the biological functions of TIMPs and their occurrence in disease, especially in the head and neck area. Their biological functions and their role in diseases like oral cancers and periodontitis, and in the development of cleft palate, will be discussed. Finally, the diagnostic and therapeutical opportunities of TIMPs will be evaluated.

Tissue Inhibitors

The balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), plays a critical role in cardiac remodeling. Although a number of studies have characterized the pathophysiological role of MMPs in the heart, very little is known with respect to the role of TIMPs in the heart. To delineate the role of TIMPs in the heart we examined the effects of adenovirus-mediated overexpression of TIMP-1, -2, -3, and -4 in cardiac fibroblasts. Infection of cardiac fibroblasts with adenoviral constructs containing human recombinant TIMP (AdTIMP-1, -2, -3, and -4) provoked a significant ( P < 0.0001) 1.3-fold in increase in bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation. Similarly, treatment of cardiac fibroblasts with AdTIMP-1-, -2-, -3-, and -4-conditioned medium led to a 1.2-fold increase in BrdU incorporation ( P < 0.0001) that was abolished by pretreatment with anti-TIMP-1, -2, -3, and -4 antibodies. The effects of TIMPs were not mimicked by treating the cells with RS-130830, a broad-based MMP inhibitor, suggesting that the effects of TIMPs were independent of their ability to inhibit MMPs. Infection with AdTIMP-1, -2, -3, and -4 led to a significant increase in α-smooth muscle actin staining, consistent with TIMP-induced phenotypic differentiation into myofibroblasts. Finally, infection with AdTIMP-2 resulted in a significant increase in collagen synthesis, whereas infection with AdTIMP-3 resulted in a significant increase in fibroblast apoptosis. TIMPs exert overlapping as well as diverse effects on isolated cardiac fibroblasts. The observation that TIMPs stimulate fibroblast proliferation as well as phenotypic differentiation into myofibroblasts suggests that TIMPs may play an important role in tissue repair in the heart that extends beyond their traditional role as MMP inhibitors.
