• W382894927 abstract "Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a family of 23 zinc-dependent human endopeptidases that can degrade virtually all components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). They are classified into eight subgroups according to their structure and into six subgroups based on their substrate-specificity. MMPs have been implicated in inflammation, tissue destruction, cell migration, arthritis, vascular remodeling, angiogenesis, and tumor growth and invasion. MMPs are inhibited by their natural inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Different MMPs function in the same tasks depending on the tissue or cancer subtype. I investigated the role of recently discovered MMPs, especially MMPs-19 and -26, in intestinal inflammation, in intestinal and cutaneous wound healing, and in intestinal cancer. Several MMPs and TIMPs were studied to determine their exact location at tissue level and to obtain information on possible functions of MMPs in such tissues and diseases as the healthy intestine, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), and colorectal as well as pancreatic cancers. In latent celiac disease (CD), I attempted to identify markers to predict later onset of CD in children and adolescents. The main methods used were immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and Taqman RT-PCR. My results show that MMP-26 is important for re-epithelialization in intestinal and cutaneous wound healing. In colon and pancreatic cancers, MMP-26 seems to be a marker of invasive potential, although it is not itself expressed at the invasive front. MMP21 is upregulated in pancreatic cancer and may be associated with tumor differentiation. MMPs-19 and -28 are associated with normal tissue turnover in the intestine, but they disappear in tumor progression as if they were “protective markers”. MMP-12 is an essential protease in intestinal inflammation and tissue destruction, as seen here in NEC and in previous CD studies. In patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), MMPs-1, -3, and -12 were upregulated in the intestinal mucosa. Furthermore, MMP-7 was strongly elevated in NEC. In a model of aberrant wound repair, PG, MMPs-8, -9, and –10 and TNF may promote ECM destruction, while absence of MMP-1 and MMP-26 from keratinocytes retards re-epithelialization. Based on my results, I suggest MMP-26 to be considered a putative marker for poor prognosis in pancreatic and colon cancer. However, since it functions differently in various tissues and tumor subtypes, this use cannot be generalized. Furthermore, MMP-26 is a beneficial marker for wound healing if expressed by migrating epithelial cells. MMP-12 expression in latent CD patients warrants research in a larger patient population to confirm its role as a specific marker for CD in pathologically indistinct cases. MMP-7 should be considered one of the most crucial proteases in NEC-associated tissue destruction; hence, specific inhibitors of this MMP are worth investigating. In PG, TNF inhibitors are potential therapeutic agents, as shown already in clinical trials." @default.
