Abstract
Pairing glycans with tissue lectins controls multiple effector pathways in (patho)physiology. A clinically relevant example is the prodegradative activity of galectins-1 and -3 (Gal-1 and -3) in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) via matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), especially MMP-13. The design of heterobifunctional inhibitors that can block galectin binding and MMPs both directly and by preventing their galectin-dependent induction selectively offers a perspective to dissect the roles of lectins and proteolytic enzymes. We describe the synthesis of such a reagent with a bivalent galectin ligand connected to an MMP inhibitor and of two tetravalent glycoclusters with a subtle change in headgroup presentation for further elucidation of influence on ligand binding. Testing was performed on clinical material with mixtures of galectins as occurring in vivo, using sections of fixed tissue. Two-colour fluorescence microscopy monitored binding to the cellular glycome after optimization of experimental parameters. In the presence of the inhibitor, galectin binding to OA specimens was significantly reduced. These results open the perspective to examine the inhibitory capacity of custom-made ditopic compounds on binding of lectins in mixtures using sections of clinical material with known impact of galectins and MMPs on disease progression.

Abstract
![]()
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
is a naturally occurring polysaccharide
with
many molecular functions, including maintaining the structure and
physiology of the tissues, tissue remodeling, and inflammation. HA
is found naturally in physiological tear fluid, possesses excellent
mucus-layer-adhesive properties, and is successfully employed in the
treatment of dry eye syndrome (DES). However, HA has as major drawback:
its rapid in vivo degradation by hyaluronidase. We
report on a unique material, namely, HA-3, obtained by
the functionalization of HA with the metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 (MMPI). This material is characterized by an increased resistance
to hyaluronidase degradation, associated with MMP inhibition properties.
The ability of HA-3 to prevent dehydration of human corneal
epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo may accelerate the development of more efficient DES treatment and
broaden the application of HA in human diseases.

Abstract
The present paper describes the functionalization of sodium hyaluronate (NaHA) with a small molecule (2-((N-(6-aminohexyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonamido)-N-hydroxyacetamide) (MMPI) having proven inhibitory activity against membrane metalloproteins involved in inflammatory processes (i.e. MMP12). The obtained derivative (HA-MMPI) demonstrated an increased resistance to the in-vitro degradation by hyaluronidase, viscoelastic properties close to those of healthy human synovial fluid, cytocompatibility towards human chondrocytes and nanomolar affinity towards MMP 12. Thus, HA-MMPI can be considered a good candidate as viscosupplement in the treatment of knee osteoarticular disease.

Abstract
ADAMTS-5 is a major protease involved in the turnover of proteoglycans such as aggrecan and versican. Dysregulated aggrecanase activity of ADAMTS-5 has been directly linked to the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). For this reason, ADAMTS-5 is a pharmaceutical target for the treatment of OA. ADAMTS-5 shares high structural and functional similarities with ADAMTS-4, which makes the design of selective inhibitors particularly challenging. Here we exploited the ADAMTS-5 binding capacity of β-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine to design a new class of sugar-based arylsulfonamides. Our most promising compound, 4b, is a non-zinc binding ADAMTS-5 inhibitor which showed high selectivity over ADAMTS-4. Docking calculations combined with molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that 4b is a cross-domain inhibitor that targets the interface of the metalloproteinase and disintegrin-like domains. Furthermore, the interaction between 4b and the ADAMTS-5 Dis domain is mediated by hydrogen bonds between the sugar moiety and two lysine residues (K532 and K533). Targeted mutagenesis of these two residues confirmed their importance both for versicanase activity and inhibitor binding. This positively-charged cluster of ADAMTS-5 represents a previously unknown substrate-binding site (exosite) which is critical for substrate recognition and can therefore be targeted for the development of selective ADAMTS-5 inhibitors.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and A disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAMs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases belonging to the metzincin superfamily. Upregulation of metzincin activity is a major feature in many serious pathologies such as cancer, inflammations, and infections. In the last decades, many classes of small molecules have been developed directed to inhibit these enzymes. The principal shortcomings that have hindered clinical development of metzincin inhibitors are low selectivity for the target enzyme, poor water solubility, and long-term toxicity. Over the last 15 years, a novel approach to improve solubility and bioavailability of metzincin inhibitors has been the synthesis of carbohydrate-based compounds. This strategy consists of linking a hydrophilic sugar moiety to an aromatic lipophilic scaffold. This review aims to describe the development of sugar-based and azasugar-based derivatives as metzincin inhibitors and their activity in several pathological models.

Abstract
In the central nervous system, several forms of experience-dependent plasticity, learning and memory require the activity-dependent control of synaptic efficacy. Despite substantial progress in describing synaptic plasticity, mechanisms related to heterogeneity of synaptic functions at local circuits remain elusive. Here we studied the functional and molecular aspects of hippocampal circuit plasticity by analyzing excitatory synapses at basal and apical dendrites of mouse hippocampal pyramidal cells (CA1 region) in acute brain slices. In the past decade, activity of metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been implicated as a widespread and critical factor in plasticity mechanisms at various projections in the CNS. However, in the present study we discovered that in striking contrast to apical dendrites, synapses located within basal dendrites undergo MMP-independent synaptic potentiation. We demonstrate that synapse-specific molecular pathway allowing MMPs to rapidly upregulate function of NMDARs in stratum radiatum involved protease activated receptor 1 and intracellular kinases and GTPases activity. In contrast, MMP-independent scaling of synaptic strength in stratum oriens involved dopamine D1/D5 receptors and Src kinases. Results of this study reveal that 2 neighboring synaptic systems differ significantly in extracellular and intracellular cascades that control synaptic gain and provide long-searched transduction pathways relevant for MMP-dependent synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
Nine 2-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)-N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl)propanamides combining a benzisothiazole and 4-thiazolidinone in one framework were designed and synthesized. The aim of the study was to verify their effectiveness to affect the inflammatory/oxidative process in which free oxygen and nitrite (ROS and RNS) radicals, inflammatory mediators, such as nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved. Docking studies of all the compounds were performed in order to explore their binding mode at the MMP-9 protein. An appreciable anti-inflammatory/potential wound healing effects of the tested compounds was highlighted. Derivative 23, bearing a 4-carboxyphenyl substituent at C2 of the 4-thiazolidinone ring, exhibited the highest activity, being able to inhibit MMP-9 at nanomolar level(IC50 = 40 nM).

Abstract
Tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-2 (TIMP-2) is a secreted 21 kDa multifunctional protein first described as an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that prevents breakdown of the extracellular matrix often observed in chronic diseases. TIMP-2 diminishes the level of growth factor-mediated cell proliferation in vitro, as well as neoangiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo independent of its MMP inhibitory activity. These physiological properties make TIMP-2 an excellent candidate for further preclinical development as a biologic therapy of cancer. Here we present a straightforward bioprocessing methodology that yields >35 mg/L recombinant human TIMP-2 6XHis-tagged protein (rhTIMP-2) from suspension cultures of HEK-293-F cells. Enhanced rhTIMP-2-6XHis yields were achieved by optimization of both TIMP-2 cDNA codon sequence and cell culture conditions. Using a two-step chromatographic process, we achieved >95% purity with minimal processing losses. Purified rhTIMP-2-6XHis was free of mouse antigen contamination. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated a well-folded rhTIMP-2-6XHis that is highly stable and refractory to pH changes. Two-dimensional heteronuclear single-quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance of full length rhTIMP-2-6XHis also indicated a monodisperse, well-folded protein preparation. Purified rhTIMP-2-6XHis inhibited MMP-2 enzymatic activity in a dose-dependent fashion with an IC50 of ∼1.4 nM. Pretreatment of A549 lung cancer and JygMC(A) triple-negative breast cancer cells with rhTIMP-2-6XHis in low-nanomolar amounts inhibited EGF-induced proliferation to basal (unstimulated) levels. This study therefore not only offers a robust bioprocess methodology for rhTIMP-2 production but also characterizes critical physicochemical and biological attributes that are useful for monitoring quality control of the production process.

Mechanisms of NMDA Receptor- and Voltage-Gated L-Type Calcium Channel-Dependent Hippocampal LTP Critically Rely on Proteolysis That Is Mediated by Distinct Metalloproteinases. J Neurosci 2017; 37:1240-1256. [PMID: 28069922 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.2170-16.2016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2016] [Revised: 10/21/2016] [Accepted: 11/12/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is widely perceived as a memory substrate and in the hippocampal CA3-CA1 pathway, distinct forms of LTP depend on NMDA receptors (nmdaLTP) or L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (vdccLTP). LTP is also known to be effectively regulated by extracellular proteolysis that is mediated by various enzymes. Herein, we investigated whether in mice hippocampal slices these distinct forms of LTP are specifically regulated by different metalloproteinases (MMPs). We found that MMP-3 inhibition or knock-out impaired late-phase LTP in the CA3-CA1 pathway. Interestingly, late-phase LTP was also decreased by MMP-9 blockade. When both MMP-3 and MMP-9 were inhibited, both early- and late-phase LTP was impaired. Using immunoblotting, in situ zymography, and immunofluorescence, we found that LTP induction was associated with an increase in MMP-3 expression and activity in CA1 stratum radiatum. MMP-3 inhibition and knock-out prevented the induction of vdccLTP, with no effect on nmdaLTP. L-type channel-dependent LTP is known to be impaired by hyaluronic acid digestion. We found that slice treatment with hyaluronidase occluded the effect of MMP-3 blockade on LTP, further confirming a critical role for MMP-3 in this form of LTP. In contrast to the CA3-CA1 pathway, LTP in the mossy fiber-CA3 projection did not depend on MMP-3, indicating the pathway specificity of the actions of MMPs. Overall, our study indicates that the activation of perisynaptic MMP-3 supports L-type channel-dependent LTP in the CA1 region, whereas nmdaLTP depends solely on MMP-9. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Various types of long-term potentiation (LTP) are correlated with distinct phases of memory formation and retrieval, but the underlying molecular signaling pathways remain poorly understood. Extracellular proteases have emerged as key players in neuroplasticity phenomena. The present study found that L-type calcium channel-dependent LTP in the CA3-CA1 hippocampal projection is critically regulated by the activity of matrix metalloprotease 3 (MMP-3), in contrast to NMDAR-dependent LTP regulated by MMP-9. Moreover, the induction of LTP was associated with an increase in MMP-3 expression and activity. Finally, we found that the digestion of hyaluronan, a principal extracellular matrix component, disrupted the MMP-3-dependent component of LTP. These results indicate that distinct MMPs might act as molecular switches for specific types of LTP.

Abstract
Experience and learning in adult primary somatosensory cortex are known to affect neuronal circuits by modifying both excitatory and inhibitory transmission. Synaptic plasticity phenomena provide a key substrate for cognitive processes, but precise description of the cellular and molecular correlates of learning is hampered by multiplicity of these mechanisms in various projections and in different types of neurons. Herein, we investigated the impact of associative learning on neuronal plasticity in distinct types of postsynaptic neurons by checking the impact of classical conditioning (pairing whisker stroking with tail shock) on the spike timing-dependent plasticity (t-LTP and t-LTD) in the layer IV to II/III vertical pathway of the mouse barrel cortex. Learning in this paradigm practically prevented t-LTP measured in pyramidal neurons but had no effect on t-LTD. Since classical conditioning is known to affect inhibition in the barrel cortex, we examined its effect on tonic GABAergic currents and found a strong downregulation of these currents in the layer II/III interneurons but not in pyramidal cells. Matrix metalloproteinases emerged as crucial players in synaptic plasticity and learning. We report that the blockade of MMP-9 (but not MMP-3) abolished t-LTP having no effect on t-LTD. Moreover, associative learning resulted in an upregulation of gelatinolytic activity within the "trained" barrel. We conclude that LTP induced by spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) paradigm is strongly correlated with associative learning and critically depends on the activity of MMP-9.

Abstract
In this study, water soluble hyaluronic acid (HA) based hydroxamate and conjugates with biologically active amines and hydrazides such as p- and o-aminophenols, anthranilic, 4- and 5-aminosalicylic acids, nicotinic, N-benzylnicotinic and isonicotinic hydrazides, p-aminobenzenesulfonamide (Streptocide), p-aminobenzoic acid diethylaminoethyl ester (Procaine), and 4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one (4-aminoantipyrene) were examined as matrix metalloproteinase-2 inhibitors (MMPIs). In a dose of 0.27-270μM, the most efficient MMPIs were HA conjugates with o-aminophenol=4-aminoantipyrine>4-aminosalicylic acid>5-aminosalicylic acid. Conjugates with Streptocide, Procaine and HA hydroxamate showed 40-50% inhibitory effect at all used concentrations. Conjugates with anthranilic acid and isonicotinic hydrazide (Isoniazid) in a dose of 0.27μM inhibited enzyme activity by ∼70%, but with the concentration increase their inhibitory effect was decreased.

Abstract
Extracellular acidification, a mandatory feature of several malignancies, has been mainly correlated with metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells toward Warburg metabolism, as well as to the expression of carbonic anydrases or proton pumps by malignant tumor cells. We report herein that for aggressive prostate carcinoma, acknowledged to be reprogrammed toward an anabolic phenotype and to upload lactate to drive proliferation, extracellular acidification is mainly mediated by stromal cells engaged in a molecular cross-talk circuitry with cancer cells. Indeed, cancer-associated fibroblasts, upon their activation by cancer delivered soluble factors, rapidly express carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX). While expression of CAIX in cancer cells has already been correlated with poor prognosis in various human tumors, the novelty of our findings is the upregulation of CAIX in stromal cells upon activation. The de novo expression of CA IX, which is not addicted to hypoxic conditions, is driven by redox-based stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1. Extracellular acidification due to carbonic anhydrase IX is mandatory to elicit activation of stromal fibroblasts delivered metalloprotease-2 and -9, driving in cancer cells the epithelial-mesenchymal transition epigenetic program, a key event associated with increased motility, survival and stemness. Both genetic silencing and pharmacological inhibition of CA IX (with sulfonamide/sulfamides potent inhibitors) or metalloprotease-9 are sufficient to impede epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells induced by contact with cancer-associated fibroblasts. We also confirmed in vivo the upstream hierarchical role of stromal CA IX to drive successful metastatic spread of prostate carcinoma cells. These data include stromal cells, as cancer-associated fibroblasts as ideal targets for carbonic anhydrase IX-directed anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a well-defined role in later stages of tumor progression. However, there has been evidence that they also contribute to earlier stages of malignant transformation. The Wnt signaling transduction pathway plays a critical role in development and in the pathogenesis of many epithelial cancers. Here we have used Wnt1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in C57MG murine mammary epithelial cells to study the role of MMPs in this early step of malignant progression. Overexpression of Wnt1 in C57MG cells promoted EMT, the translocation of β-catenin from the cell membrane to the nucleus and its transcriptional activity, cell proliferation and cell motility. Simultaneously, we observed an increased expression of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) and a 5.5-fold increase in MMP-3 promoter activity in C57MG cells expressing Wnt1 compared with C57MG cells. Treatment of Wnt-overexpressing cells with MMP inhibitor AG3340 decreased MMP-3 expression. We also found evidence that MMP-3 and Wnt3a cooperate in enhancing the transcriptional activity of β-catenin in C57MG cells. Consistently, the effects of Wnt1 on EMT, proliferation and migration were inhibited by MMP inhibitors, or upon downregulation of MMP-3 by siRNA. These results suggest that MMP-3 is both a direct transcriptional target and a necessary contributor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that can be released or activated in a neuronal activity dependent manner. Although pathologically elevated levels of MMPs may be synaptotoxic, physiologically appropriate levels of MMPs may instead enhance synaptic transmission. MMP inhibitors can block long term potentiation (LTP), and at least one family member can affect an increase in the volume of dendritic spines. While the mechanism by which MMPs affect these changes is not completely understood, one possibility is that the cleavage of specific synaptic cell adhesion molecules plays a role. In the present study, we have examined the ability of neuronal activity to stimulate rapid MMP dependent shedding of the intercellular adhesion molecule-5 (ICAM-5), a synaptic adhesion molecule that is thought to inhibit the maturation and enlargement of dendritic spines. Since such cleavage would likely occur within minutes if it were relevant to a process such as LTP, we focused on post stimulus time points of 30 min or less. We show that NMDA can stimulate rapid shedding of ICAM-5 from cortical neurons in dissociated cell cultures and that such shedding is diminished by pretreatment of cultures with inhibitors that target MMP-3 and -9, proteases thought to influence synaptic plasticity. Additional studies suggest that MMP mediated cleavage of ICAM-5 occurs at amino acid 780, so that the major portion of the ectodomain is released. Since reductions in ICAM-5 have been linked to changes in dendritic spine morphology that are associated with LTP, we also examined the possibility that MMP dependent ICAM-5 shedding occurs following high frequency tetanic stimulation of murine hippocampal slices. Results show that the shedding of ICAM-5 occurs in association with LTP, and that both LTP and the associated ICAM-5 shedding are reduced when slices are pretreated with an MMP inhibitor. Together, these findings suggest that neuronal activity is linked to the shedding of a molecule that may inhibit dendritic spine enlargement and that MMPs can affect this change. While further studies will be necessary to determine the extent to which cleavage of ICAM-5 in particular contributes to MMP dependent LTP, our data support an emerging body of literature suggesting that MMPs are critical mediators of synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of biotin chain-terminated inhibitors (BTI) showing high affinity for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on one side and high affinity for avidin through the biotinylated tag on the other are reported. The affinity of the designed BTI toward five different MMPs has been evaluated and the simultaneous formation of a highly stable ternary system Avidin-BTI-MMP clearly assessed. This system will permit the development of new approaches to detect, quantify, or collect MMPs in biological samples, with potential applications in vivo.

Abstract
Can a benzene molecule differentiate between two isomeric carbohydrates? It is generally accepted that two factors govern molecular recognition: complementarity and preorganization. Preorganization requires the presence of cavities for positioning the host's groups of complementary nature to those of the guest. This study shows that, in fact, groups should be complementary to recognize each other (for the case presented here, it is controlled by the CH/pi interaction) but preorganization is not essential. Since weak interactions have their origin in dispersion forces, they also have impact on the enthalpic term of the free energy, so it was considered that their participation can be demonstrated by measuring the energy involved. For recognition to happen, two conditions must be satisfied: specificity and associated stabilizing energy. In this study we evaluated the heat of dissolution of different carbohydrates such as methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-alpha-d-mannopyranoside and methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside using different aromatic solvents. The solvation enthalpies in benzene were -78.8 +/- 3.9 and -88.7 +/- 5.5 kJ mol(-1) for each carbohydrate, respectively; and these values yielded a CH/pi energy of interaction of 9.9 kJ mol(-1). In addition, NMR studies of the effect of the addition of benzene to chloroform solutions of the two carbohydrates showed that benzene specifically interacts with the hydrogen atoms of the pyranose ring at positions 3, 4, and 5 located on the alpha face of the methyl-beta-galactoside, so it is, in fact, able to recognize it. Thus, the interactions between carbohydrates and the aromatic residues of proteins occur in the absence of the confinement generated by the protein structure. By experimentally measuring the energy associated with this interaction and comparing it to theoretical calculations, it was also possible to unequivocally determine the existence of CH/pi interactions between carbohydrates and proteins.
