Abstract
During cutaneous wound healing a number of migratory and remodeling events occur that require the action of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors (TIMPs). In this study, we analyzed the temporal and spatial expression patterns of these molecules during the healing of murine excisional skin wounds. Our data imply that defined phases of repair rely on distinct repertoires of MMP activity and TIMP counterregulation. Reepithelialization was found to be associated with active production of collagenase, 92-kDa gelatinase, and stromelysins-1 and -2 by distinct subpopulations of keratinocytes at the migrating border. Notably, no TIMP transcripts were expressed in the epidermis, but TIMP-1 expression in the wound colocalized with expression of collagenase, 92-kDa gelatinase, and stromelysin-1, albeit in distinct cells. Concomitant with the formation of an extensive hyperproliferative epithelium, TIMP-1 transcripts accumulated at the mesenchymal/epidermal border of the granulation tissue. During later phases of wound repair, we observed an increase in 72-kDa gelatinase and MT1-MMP expression, whereby the transcripts of these colocalizing MMPs were detected exclusively and at high levels in the granulation tissue. At completion of reepithelialization, the expression levels of the MMPs and TIMP-1 seen in epidermal and dermal compartments declined to near-basal levels, whereas the macrophage-specific metalloelastase (MME) reached maximum expression. In reepithelialized wound tissue, MME transcripts were detected in deep layers of reconstituted dermis and seemed to cluster around vascular structures. Systemic glucocorticoid treatment, which is known to result in impaired wound healing, led to a nearly complete shut-off of MME expression. These observations imply an additional role of macrophage-related proteolysis, independent of its classical roles during earlier, inflammatory phases of cutaneous wound repair.

Abstract
We cloned a novel matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) called CMMP from cultured primary chicken embryo fibroblasts. The cDNA-derived CMMP sequence contains 472 amino acids including a putative 19-residue signal peptide and a unique cysteine in the catalytic domain, an insertion in a sequence motif that binds the structural (noncatalytic) zinc of MMPs. Strikingly, a homologously inserted cysteine is also found in Xenopus XMMP and human MMP19, two recently cloned novel members of the MMP family. Phylogenetic analysis suggest that XMMP and MMP19 represent founding members of the MMP family, whereas CMMP is related to collagenase MMPs. Bacterially produced recombinant CMMP (without the amino-terminal inhibition domain), which was autoproteolyzed at the carboxyl-terminal domain, digested casein and gelatin. As shown by Northern blotting, CMMP mRNA of 1.8 kilobase pairs was constitutively expressed in cultured primary chicken embryo fibroblasts and up-regulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, but it was not regulated by interleukin-1, basic fibroblast growth factor, or retinoic acid. CMMP mRNA of 1.8 kb was also detected in the head and body of 8-day-old chicken embryos and dramatically up-regulated in 9-day-old embryos.

Abstract
We cloned a cDNA encoding tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP3) from the frog Xenopus laevis. Similar to TIMP3 from other species, Xenopus TIMP3 has 188 residues including 12 conserved cysteines and Asn184, a putative site for N-linked sugars. Xenopus TIMP3 is 84% identical with human TIMP3. As shown by Northern blotting and RT-PCR, Xenopus TIMP3 mRNA is maternally inherited in eggs and midblastula (stage 8) embryos, downregulated in gastrula and then upregulated in neurula and pretailbud embryos. In select adult tissues, TIMP3 mRNA is present in heart, muscle, liver, skin, intestine and ovaries. These results suggest that TIMP3 is involved in the regulation of expression of matrix metalloproteinases in Xenopus early development and adult tissue remodeling.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is an arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)- containing glycoprotein encoded by the gene secreted phosphoprotein 1 (spp1). spp1 is expressed during embryogenesis, wound healing, and tumorigenesis; however, its in vivo functions are not well understood. Therefore, OPN null mutant mice were generated by targeted mutagenesis in embryonic stem cells. In OPN mutant mice, embryogenesis occurred normally, and mice were fertile. Since OPN shares receptors with vitronectin (VN), we tested for compensation by creating mice lacking both OPN and VN. The double mutants were also viable, suggesting that other RGD-containing ligands replace the embryonic loss of both proteins. We tested the healing of OPN mutants after skin incisions, where spp1 was upregulated as early as 6 h after wounding. Although the tensile properties of the wounds were unchanged, ultrastructural analysis showed a significantly decreased level of debridement, greater disorganization of matrix, and an alteration of collagen fibrillogenesis leading to small diameter collagen fibrils in the OPN mutant mice. These data indicate a role for OPN in tissue remodeling in vivo, and suggest physiological functions during matrix reorganization after injury.

Abstract
Programmed expression of matrix metalloproteinases is involved in wound healing in various organs. We have previously demonstrated enhanced expression of collagenase-1, stromelysin-1, matrilysin, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) in gastrointestinal ulcerations. To further define the role of matrix-degrading enzymes and their inhibitors in intestinal inflammation and ulcerations, the expression of stromelysin-2 (MMP-10), collagenase-3 (MMP-13), macrophage metalloelastase (HME, MMP-12), and TIMP-3 mRNAs was studied using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry in 38 samples representing ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, ischemic colitis, and normal intestine. As controls for normally healing intestinal wounds, 12 postoperative samples of rat experimental jejunal anastomoses were also examined. The colitis types studied did not essentially differ in their MMP expression. We found stromelysin-2 mRNA in laminin-5-positive and Ki-67-negative enterocytes bordering the ulcerations. HME was abundantly expressed by macrophages in the vicinity of shedding mucosal epithelium and beneath the necrotic surface of the ulcers. Collagenase-3 and TIMP-3 were expressed by fibroblast-like cells deeper in the remodeling intestinal wall. Expression for stromelysin-2 and collagenase-3 was observed in granulation tissue, but not the epithelium, of the rat anastomoses. Our results suggest a role for stromelysin-2 in epithelial migration and for metalloelastase in macrophage movement and epithelial cell shedding.
