[PMID: 39030581 PMCID: PMC11264740 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02707-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing production and usage of copper oxide nanoparticles (Nano-CuO) raise human health concerns. Previous studies have demonstrated that exposure to Nano-CuO could induce lung inflammation, injury, and fibrosis. However, the potential underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we proposed that matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) might play an important role in Nano-CuO-induced lung inflammation, injury, and fibrosis. RESULTS Exposure of mice to Nano-CuO caused acute lung inflammation and injury in a dose-dependent manner, which was reflected by increased total cell number, neutrophil count, macrophage count, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and CXCL1/KC level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained on day 3 post-exposure. The time-response study showed that Nano-CuO-induced acute lung inflammation and injury appeared as early as day 1 after exposure, peaked on day 3, and ameliorated over time. However, even on day 42 post-exposure, the LDH activity and macrophage count were still higher than those in the control group, suggesting that Nano-CuO caused chronic lung inflammation. The Nano-CuO-induced pulmonary inflammation was further confirmed by H&E staining of lung sections. Trichrome staining showed that Nano-CuO exposure caused pulmonary fibrosis from day 14 to day 42 post-exposure with an increasing tendency over time. Increased hydroxyproline content and expression levels of fibrosis-associated proteins in mouse lungs were also observed. In addition, Nano-CuO exposure induced MMP-3 overexpression and increased MMP-3 secretion in mouse lungs. Knocking down MMP-3 in mouse lungs significantly attenuated Nano-CuO-induced acute and chronic lung inflammation and fibrosis. Moreover, Nano-CuO exposure caused sustained production of cleaved osteopontin (OPN) in mouse lungs, which was also significantly decreased by knocking down MMP-3. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that short-term Nano-CuO exposure caused acute lung inflammation and injury, while long-term exposure induced chronic pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Knocking down MMP-3 significantly ameliorated Nano-CuO-induced pulmonary inflammation, injury, and fibrosis, and also attenuated Nano-CuO-induced cleaved OPN level. Our study suggests that MMP-3 may play important roles in Nano-CuO-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis via cleavage of OPN and may provide a further understanding of the mechanisms underlying Nano-CuO-induced pulmonary toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fat of the synovial joints can be used to maintain the joint structure. Our objective is to analyse the evolution of joint degeneration in knees with and without adipose pack. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY In six sheep, the anterior cruciate ligament was sectioned in both knees, to cause osteoarthritis. In one group the fat pack was preserved and in another group it was completely removed. We performed a histological and molecular biology study analyzing the expression, in the synovial membrane, subchondral bone, cartilage, fat, meniscus, and synovial fluid, of RUNX2, PTHrP, cathepsin-K, and MCP1. RESULTS We did not find morphological differences. We found increased expression of RUNX2 in synovial membrane, PTHrP and Cathepsin K in synovial fluid in the group without fat, and increased expression of RUNX2 in the meniscus and MCP1 in synovial fluid in the group with fat. CONCLUSION Infrapatellar fat participates in the inflammatory process that accompanies osteoarthritis, since Hoffa fat pad resection alters pro-inflammatory markers, while the model with intact fat increases the pro-inflammatory marker MCP1 in synovial fluid.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is a common disorder that affects the spine and is a major cause of lower back pain (LBP). The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the structural foundation of the biomechanical properties of IVD, and its degradation is the main pathological characteristic of IDD. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of endopeptidases that play an important role in the degradation and remodeling of the ECM. Several recent studies have shown that the expression and activity of many MMP subgroups are significantly upregulated in degenerated IVD tissue. This upregulation of MMPs results in an imbalance of ECM anabolism and catabolism, leading to the degradation of the ECM and the development of IDD. Therefore, the regulation of MMP expression is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of IDD. Recent research has focused on identifying the mechanisms by which MMPs cause ECM degradation and promote IDD, as well as on developing therapies that target MMPs. In summary, MMP dysregulation is a crucial factor in the development of IDD, and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved is needed to develop effective biological therapies that target MMPs to treat IDD.

Abstract
Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms may be fatal upon rupture or dissection and remain a leading cause of death in the developed world. Understanding the pathophysiology of the development of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms may help reduce the morbidity and mortality of this disease. In this review, we will discuss our current understanding of the protective relationship between ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms and the development of atherosclerosis, including decreased carotid intima-media thickness, low-density lipoprotein levels, coronary and aortic calcification, and incidence of myocardial infarction. We also propose several possible mechanisms driving this relationship, including matrix metalloproteinase proteins and transforming growth factor-β.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Most cardiovascular deaths are caused by ischaemic heart diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). Hereby atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries often precedes disease manifestation. Since tissue remodelling plays an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis as well as in outcome after MI, regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as the major ECM-degrading enzymes with diverse other functions is crucial. Here, we provide an overview of the expression profiles of MMPs in coronary artery and left ventricular tissue using publicly available data from whole tissue to single-cell resolution. To approach an association between MMP expression and the development and outcome of CVDs, we further review studies investigating polymorphisms in MMP genes since polymorphisms are known to have an impact on gene expression. This review therefore aims to shed light on the role of MMPs in atherosclerosis and MI by summarizing current knowledge from publically available datasets, human studies, and analyses of polymorphisms up to preclinical and clinical trials of pharmacological MMP inhibition.

Interleukin-1β triggers matrix metalloprotease-3 expression through p65/RelA activation in melanoma cells. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0278220.

Abstract
Melanoma shows highly aggressive behavior (i.e., local invasion and metastasis). Matrix metalloprotease-3 (MMP-3), a zinc-dependent endopeptidase, degrades several extracellular substrates and contributes to local invasion by creating a microenvironment suitable for tumor development. Here, we report that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) triggers the MMP-3 expression in canine melanoma cells. The activity of MMP-3 in the culture supernatant was increased in IL-1β-treated melanoma cells. IL-1β time- and dose-dependently provoked the mRNA expression of MMP-3. IL-1β induced the migration of melanoma cells; however, this migration was attenuated by UK356618, an MMP-3 inhibitor. When the cells were treated with the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitor TPCA-1, the inhibition of MMP-3 expression was observed. In IL-1β-treated cells, the phosphorylation both of p65/RelA and p105 was detected, indicating NF-κB pathway activation. In p65/RelA-depleted melanoma cells, IL-1β-mediated mRNA expression of MMP-3 was inhibited, whereas this reduction was not observed in p105-depleted cells. These findings suggest that MMP-3 expression in melanoma cells is regulated through IL-1β-mediated p65/RelA activation, which is involved in melanoma cell migration.

Abstract
Nowadays, molecular and immunological research is essential for the better understanding of tumor cells pathophysiology. The increasing number of neoplasms has been taken under ‘the molecular magnifying glass’ and, therefore, it is possible to discover complex relationships between the cytophysiology and immune system action. An example could be renal cell carcinoma (RCC) which has deep interactions with immune mediators such as Interleukin 17 (IL-17)—an inflammatory cytokine reacting to tissue damage and external pathogens. RCC is one of the most fatal urological cancers because of its often late diagnosis and poor susceptibility to therapies. IL-17 and its relationship with tumors is extremely complex and constitutes a recent topic for numerous studies. What is worth highlighting is IL-17’s dual character in cancer development—it could be pro- as well as anti-tumorigenic. The aim of this review is to summarize the newest data considering multiple connections between IL-17 and RCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to ischemia and afterward to left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) and -3 (MMP3) belong to the family of endopeptidases and together they can dissolve most of the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP1 and MMP3 variants have been investigated solely in association with ischemic heart disease and LV dysfunction, but not in haplotype. The aims of this study were to investigate the association of haplotypes inferred from MMP1 rs1799750 (-1607 1G/2G; NC_000011.9:g.102670497del) and MMP3 rs35068180 (-1612 5A/6A; NC_000011.9:g.102715952dup) with MI and their effect on the change in echocardiographic parameters of LV structure and function in patients within 6 months after MI. METHODS The study included 325 patients with the first MI and 283 healthy controls. Gene variants were detected by PCR-RFLP method. Parameters of LV structure and function were assessed by conventional 2D echocardiography, 3-5 days and 6 months after the first MI, on a subgroup of 160 patients. Haplotype analysis was performed with Thesias software. RESULTS Haplotypes 2G-5A and 1G-6A were significantly and independently associated with MI compared with the reference haplotype 2G-6A (adjusted, p = 0.009 and p = 0.026, respectively). After Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, MMP1 and MMP3 haplotypes lost their association with the change in LV long diameter and stroke volume within 6 months after MI. CONCLUSION MMP1 and MMP3 haplotypes are strongly associated with MI. Further studies are needed to validate this result and to examine their association with echocardiographic parameters of LV structure and function after MI.

) in bone. FASEB Bioadv 2022; 4:524-538.

Abstract
The Matrix Metalloproteinases are important regulators of bone metabolism and can influence bone mass and bone remodeling. We investigate the role of Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) on bone in mice, by using Mmp3 knockout (Mmp3 KO) in the context of estrogen deficiency, and in human, by analyzing the association of promoter polymorphism with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and with MMP3 expression. We presented evidence in this paper that Mmp3 KO significantly increases trabecular bone mass and trabecular number and does not affect cortical bone thickness. We also found that Mmp3 KO protects from the deleterious effects of ovariectomy on bone mineral density in mice by preventing deterioration of bone microarchitecture. The effect of Mmp3 KO does not involve bone formation parameters but instead acts by inhibition of bone resorption, leading to a reduced bone loss associated to ovariectomy. By studying a human cohort, we found that a polymorphism located in the promoter of the human MMP3 gene is associated with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and found that MMP3 rs632478 promoter variants are associated with change in promoter activity in transfection experiments. In conclusion MMP3, although weakly expressed in bone cells, could be one of the important regulators of sex hormone action in bone and whose activity could be targeted for therapeutic applications such as in Osteoporosis.

Association between matrix metalloproteinase-3 gene polymorphisms and tendon-ligament injuries: evidence from a meta-analysis. BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil 2022; 14:26. [PMID: 35172898 PMCID: PMC8851795 DOI: 10.1186/s13102-022-00421-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Background Tendon-ligament injuries (TLIs), including Achilles tendinopathy, cruciate ligament injury, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injury, patellar tendinopathy, and tibial tendinopathy, are common musculoskeletal soft injuries during physical activity. Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in the etiology of TLIs in several genetic association studies with inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to collect and synthesize the current evidences on the association of MMP-3 polymorphisms and TLIs. Methods The search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wanfang databases, prior to July, 2021. Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to appraise the study quality. Strengths of association were represented by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Results Thirteen studies with 2871 cases and 4497 controls met the eligibility criteria, and each study was in high quality. The overall analyzes suggested rs3025058 was associated with an increased TLIs risk (5A vs. 6A, OR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.03–1.40, P = 0.020). However, the association was not found for rs679620, rs591058, and rs650108 polymorphisms. Subgroup analysis by injury type suggested that rs679620 polymorphism was associated with a reduced risk to Achilles tendon rupture (AA + AG vs. GG, OR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.25–0.87, P = 0.020), and rs3025058 was associated with an elevated risk to anterior cruciate ligament injury (5A5A + 5A6A vs. 6A6A, OR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.03–2.06, P = 0.030). When stratified by ethnicity, the findings indicated that rs3025058 polymorphism was associated with an increased TLIs risk among Caucasians (5A6A vs. 6A6A, OR = 1.55, 95% CI 1.09–2.42, P = 0.020) and Brazilians (5A5A vs. 5A6A + 6A6A, OR = 2.80, 95% CI 1.44–5.45, P = 0.002). Conclusion Findings of this study suggest that rs679620 polymorphism is associated with a reduced Achilles tendon rupture risk, and rs3025058 polymorphism contributes to an increased TLIs risk in Caucasians and Brazilians. However, rs591058 and rs650108 polymorphisms do not show any association with TLIs.

Abstract
The skin protects the human body against dehydration and harmful challenges. Keratinocytes (KCs) are the most abundant epidermal cells, and it is anticipated that KC-mediated transport of Na+ ions creates a physiological barrier of high osmolality against the external environment. Here, we studied the role of NFAT5, a transcription factor whose activity is controlled by osmotic stress in KCs. Cultured KCs from adult mice were found to secrete more than 300 proteins, and upon NFAT5 ablation, the secretion of several matrix proteinases, including metalloproteinase-3 (Mmp3) and kallikrein-related peptidase 7 (Klk7), was markedly enhanced. An increase in Mmp3 and Klk7 RNA levels was also detected in transcriptomes of Nfat5-/- KCs, along with increases of numerous members of the 'Epidermal Differentiation Complex' (EDC), such as small proline-rich (Sprr) and S100 proteins. NFAT5 and Mmp3 as well as NFAT5 and Klk7 are co-expressed in the basal KCs of fetal and adult epidermis but not in basal KCs of newborn (NB) mice. The poor NFAT5 expression in NB KCs is correlated with a strong increase in Mmp3 and Klk7 expression in KCs of NB mice. These data suggests that, along with the fragile epidermis of adult Nfat5-/- mice, NFAT5 keeps in check the expression of matrix proteases in epidermis. The NFAT5-mediated control of matrix proteases in epidermis contributes to the manifold changes in skin development in embryos before and during birth, and to the integrity of epidermis in adults.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (Nano-CuO) are widely used in medical and industrial fields and our daily necessities. However, the biosafety assessment of Nano-CuO is far behind their rapid development. Here, we investigated the adverse effects of Nano-CuO on normal human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells, especially determined whether Nano-CuO exposure would cause dysregulation of MMP-3, an important mediator in pulmonary fibrosis, and its potential role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our results showed that exposure to Nano-CuO, but not Nano-TiO2, caused increased ROS generation, MAPKs activation, and MMP-3 upregulation. Nano-CuO-induced ROS generation was not observed in mitochondrial DNA-depleted BEAS-2B ρ0 cells, indicating that mitochondria may be the main source of Nano-CuO-induced ROS generation. Pretreatment of the cells with ROS scavengers or inhibitors or depleting mitochondrial DNA significantly attenuated Nano-CuO-induced MAPKs activation and MMP-3 upregulation, and pretreatment of cells with MAPKs inhibitors abolished Nano-CuO-induced MMP-3 upregulation, suggesting Nano-CuO-induced MMP-3 upregulation is through Nano-CuO-induced ROS generation and MAPKs activation. In addition, exposure of the cells to Nano-CuO for 48 h resulted in decreased E-cadherin expression and increased expression of vimentin, α-SMA, and fibronectin, which was ameliorated by MMP-3 siRNA transfection, suggesting an important role of MMP-3 in Nano-CuO-induced EMT. Taken together, our study demonstrated that Nano-CuO exposure caused mitochondrial ROS generation, MAPKs activation, and MMP-3 upregulation. Nano-CuO exposure also caused cells to undergo EMT, which was through Nano-CuO-induced dysregulation of ROS/MAPKs/MMP-3 pathway. Our findings will provide further understanding of the potential mechanisms involved in metal nanoparticle-induced various toxic effects including EMT and pulmonary fibrosis.

Nanostring-Based Identification of the Gene Expression Profile in Trigger Finger Samples. Healthcare (Basel) 2021; 9:healthcare9111592.

Abstract
Trigger finger is a common yet vastly understudied fibroproliferative hand pathology, severely affecting patients' quality of life. Consistent trauma due to inadequate positioning within the afflicted finger's tendon/pulley system leads to cellular dysregulation and eventual fibrosis. While the genetic characteristics of the fibrotic tissue in the trigger finger have been studied, the pathways that govern the initiation and propagation of fibrosis are still unknown. The complete gene expression profile of the trigger finger has never been explored. Our study has used the Nanostring nCounter gene expression assay to investigate the molecular signaling involved in trigger finger pathogenesis. We collected samples from patients undergoing trigger finger (n = 4) release surgery and compared the gene expression to carpal tunnel tissue (n = 4). Nanostring nCounter analysis identified 165 genes that were differentially regulated; 145 of these genes were upregulated, whereas 20 genes were downregulated. We found that several collagen genes were significantly upregulated, and a regulatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), MMP-3, was downregulated. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that several known signaling pathways were dysregulated, such as the TGF-β1 and Wnt signaling pathways. We also found several novel signaling pathways (e.g., PI3K, MAPK, JAK-STAT, and Notch) differentially regulated in trigger finger. The outcome of our study helps in understanding the molecular signaling pathway involved in the pathogenesis of the trigger finger.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that are integral in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. In age or disease, ECM may become dysregulated and contribute to fibrosis, which impairs cardiac electrical conduction. Two alleles regulate matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) activity: one with five adenosine bases (5A; associated with higher MMP-3 activity and decreased fibrosis) and another with six adenosine bases (6A; associated with lower MMP-3 activity and increased fibrosis). Here, we determined whether ECG-derived QTc and related parameters are associated with the MMP-3 5A/6A genotype in a cross-section of the Australian rural population. A retrospective cross-sectional population was obtained from the Charles Sturt University Diabetes Screening Research Initiative. Genotype and resting 12-lead ECG parameters of 295 participants were analyzed. Amongst these participants, 85 individuals carried the 5A/5A genotype, 141 individuals carried the 5A/6A genotype, and 65 individuals carried the 6A/6A genotype. Compared to 5A/5A genotype carriers, 5A/6A genotype carriers had a significantly longer QTc duration by 9.50 ms (95% CI: 3.48-15.52, p = 0.002), whilst 6A/6A genotype carriers had an even longer QTc duration by 12.19 ms (95% CI: 5.04-19.34, p = 0.001). We found an association between MMP-3 5A/6A polymorphisms and QTc, independent of adjustments for age, gender, alcohol consumption, smoking status, body mass index and blood pressure.

Physiol Rep 2021; 9:e14920.

Abstract
Central arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. It is characterized by a marked reduction in the elastin-collagen ratio of the arterial wall extracellular matrix (ECM), and is largely the result of degradation of various ECM components. Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) may contribute to central arterial stiffness via its involvement in ECM homeostasis and remodeling. This study examined the association between serum MMP-3 concentrations and central arterial stiffness and potential interactions of MMP-3 and traditional cardiovascular risk factors in a population of healthy young adults. A total of 206 participants (n = 109 females) aged 19-25 years were included in the current study. Central arterial stiffness was measured non-invasively as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) (m/s). MMP-3 concentrations (ng/ml) were measured using ELISA techniques. Regression analyses were used to examine the association between cfPWV and MMP-3, adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, body mass index (BMI), instantaneous mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate, and serum C-reactive protein. Interactions between MMP-3 with smoking, BMI, sex, and MAP were analyzed in subsequent regression models. MMP-3 was an independent predictor of cfPWV (β = 0.187, p = 0.007), and significant interactions between MMP-3 and regular smoking (β = 0.291, p = 0.022), and MMP-3 and BMI (β = 0.210, p = 0.013) were observed. Higher serum MMP-3 concentrations were associated with a faster cfPWV and thus, greater central arterial stiffness. Interactions between MMP-3 and smoking, and MMP-3 and BMI may, in part, drive the association between MMP-3 and central arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Introduction Intestinal fibrosis, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, is a common and severe clinical complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanisms underlying fibrosis remain elusive, and currently, there are limited effective pharmacologic treatments that target the development of fibrosis. Hypoxia is one of the key microenvironmental factors influencing intestinal inflammation and has been linked to fibrosis. Objective In the present study, we sought to elucidate the impact of hypoxia on fibrotic gene expression in the intestinal mucosa. Methods Human volunteers, IBD patients, and dextran sulphate sodium-treated mice were exposed to hypoxia, and colonic biopsies were collected. The human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2, human THP-1 macrophages, and primary human gut fibroblasts were subjected to hypoxia, and changes in fibrotic gene expression were assessed. Results Human volunteers subjected to hypoxia presented reduced transcriptional levels of fibrotic and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers in the intestinal mucosa. IBD patients showed a trend towards a decrease in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 protein expression. In mice, hypoxic conditions reduced the colonic expression of several collagens and matrix metalloproteinases. Hypoxic Caco-2 cells, THP-1 cells, and primary gut fibroblasts showed a significant downregulation in the expression of fibrotic and tissue remodelling factors. Conclusions Stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factors might represent a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of IBD-associated fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The variation in the caries susceptibility while environmental factors are similar indicates that the effect of individual factors such as genetics on caries process and tooth development should be revealed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in MMP13 (rs2252070) and MMP20 (rs1784418) with caries experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 subjects aged 6 to 14 years. Demographic data, data on oral health habits were obtained through the statements of guardian of the individuals, caries data was collected by clinical examination. Unstimulated whole saliva was collected to extract the genomic DNA. Genotyping of the selected polymorphisms was carried out by real-time PCR. Allele and genotype frequencies were compared between different subgroups considering caries experience. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 by chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Allele distribution of MMP13 was different between caries-affected and caries-free subjects. MMP13 A allele increased the caries risk (p=0.005, OR=1.84, 95% CI 1.20-2.82). Allele and genotype distribution of the polymorphism in MMP20 were not associated with caries experience (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that the genetic variation in MMP13 was associated with the caries experience in selected subjects in Turkey. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The knowledge regarding association between the MMP genes and caries experience, might benefit the clinical practice, improving caries-preventive and caries-therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 30% of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt systems for hydrocephalus fail within the first year and 98% of all patients will have shunt failure in their lifetime. Obstruction remains the most common reason for shunt failure. Previous evidence suggests elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines in CSF are associated with worsening clinical outcomes in neuroinflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute towards shunt failure in hydrocephalus. METHODS Using multiplex ELISA, this study examined shunt failure through the CSF protein concentration profiles of select pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, as well as select MMPs. Interdependencies such as the past number of previous revisions, length of time implanted, patient age, and obstruction or non-obstruction revision were examined. The pro-inflammatory cytokines were IL-1β, IL-2, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-17, TNF-α, GM-CSF, IFN-γ. The anti-inflammatory cytokines were IL-4 and IL-10, and the MMPs were MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9. Protein concentration is reported as pg/mL for each analyte. RESULTS Patient CSF was obtained at the time of shunt revision operation; all pediatric (< 18), totaling n = 38. IL-10, IL-6, IL-8 and MMP-7 demonstrated significantly increased concentrations in patient CSF for the non-obstructed subgroup. Etiological examination revealed IL-6 was increased in both obstructed and non-obstructed cases for PHH and congenital hydrocephalic patients, while IL-8 was higher only in PHH patients. In terms of number of past revisions, IL-10, IL-6, IL-8, MMP-7 and MMP-9 progressively increased from zero to two past revisions and then remained low for subsequent revisions. This presentation was notably absent in the obstruction subgroup. Shunts implanted for three months or less showed significantly increased concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-7 in the obstruction subgroup. Lastly, only patients aged six months or less presented with significantly increased concentration of IL-8 and MMP-7. CONCLUSION Non-obstructive cases are reported here to accompany significantly higher CSF cytokine and MMP protein levels compared to obstructive cases for IL-10, IL-6, IL-8, MMP-7 and MMP-9. A closer examination of the definition of obstruction and the role neuroinflammation plays in creating shunt obstruction in hydrocephalic patients is suggested.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a spinal degenerative disease and one of the most important causes of musculoskeletal disability. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated extracellular matrix degradation is the core process of IDD. The regulators of MMPs in the intervertebral disc are still not fully known. In this study, using quantitative reverse transcription PCR, luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, we found that the miR-874-3p expression level was significantly decreased in IDD patients. MiR-874-3p could target and repress MMP2 and MMP3 expression in nucleus pulposus cells. These results could improve the understanding of IDD and provide a possible diagnostic marker and treatment candidate for IDD. The miR-874-3p/MMP2/MMP3 axis might also provide direction for future cancer and inflammation investigations.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays a premier role in fibrosis. To understand the molecular events underpinning TGF-β1-induced fibrogenesis, we examined the proteomic profiling of a TGF-β1-induced in vitro model of fibrosis in NRK-49F normal rat kidney fibroblasts. Mass spectrometric analysis indicated that 628 cell-lysate proteins enriched in 44 cellular component clusters, 24 biological processes and 27 molecular functions were regulated by TGF-β1. Cell-lysate proteins regulated by TGF-β1 were characterised by increased ribosomal proteins and dysregulated proteins involved in multiple metabolic pathways, including reduced Aldh3a1 and induced Enpp1 and Impdh2, which were validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). In conditioned media, 62 proteins enriched in 20 cellular component clusters, 40 biological processes and 7 molecular functions were regulated by TGF-β1. Secretomic analysis and ELISA uncovered dysregulated collagen degradation regulators (induced PAI-1 and reduced Mmp3), collagen crosslinker (induced Plod2), signalling molecules (induced Ccn1, Ccn2 and Tsku, and reduced Ccn3) and chemokines (induced Ccl2 and Ccl7) in the TGF-β1 group. We conclude that TGF-β1-induced fibrogenesis in renal fibroblasts is an intracellular metabolic disorder and is inherently coupled with inflammation mediated by chemokines. Proteomic profiling established in this project may guide development of novel anti-fibrotic therapies in a network pharmacology approach.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) primarily reside in the bone marrow, where they receive external cues from their local microenvironment. The complex milieu of biophysical cues, cellular components and cell-secreted factors regulates the process by which HSC produce the blood and immune system. We previously showed direct coculture of primary murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with a population of marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal and progenitor cells (MSPCs) in a methacrylamide-functionalized gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel improves hematopoietic progenitor maintenance. However, the mechanism by which MSPCs influenced HSC fate decisions remained unknown. Herein, we report the use of proteomic analysis to correlate HSC phenotype to a broad candidate pool of 200 soluble factors produced by combined mesenchymal and hematopoietic progeny. Partial least squares regression (PLSR), along with an iterative filter method, identified TGFβ-1, MMP-3, c-RP and TROY as positively correlated with HSC maintenance. Experimentally, we then observe exogenous stimulation of HSC monocultures in GelMA hydrogels with these combined cytokines increases the ratio of hematopoietic progenitors to committed progeny after a 7-day culture 7.52 ± 3.65-fold compared to non-stimulated monocultures. Findings suggest a cocktail of the downselected cytokines amplifies hematopoietic maintenance potential of HSCs beyond that of MSPC-secreted factors alone. This work integrates empirical and computation methods to identify cytokine combinations to improve HSC maintenance within an engineered HSC niche, suggesting a route toward identifying feeder-free culture platforms for HSC expansion. Insight Hematopoietic stem cells within an artificial niche receive maintenance cues in the form of soluble factors from hematopoietic and mesenchymal progeny. Applying a proteomic regression analysis, we identify a reduced set of soluble factors correlated to maintenance of a hematopoietic phenotype during culture in a biomaterial model of the bone marrow niche. We identify a minimum factor cocktail that promotes hematopoietic maintenance potential in a gelatin-based culture, regardless of the presence of mesenchymal feeder cells. By combining empirical and computational methods, we report an experimentally feasible number of factors from a large dataset, enabling exogenous integration of soluble factors into an engineered hematopoietic stem cell for enhanced maintenance potential of a quiescent stem cell population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) play an important role in the physiological and pathological remodeling of tissues including carcinogenesis. The study's aim was to assess the relations between MMP-2(-735C/T), MMP-2(-1306C/T), MMP-9(-1562C/T), and MMP-3(-11715A/6A) polymorphisms, and clinical/morphological manifestation of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and benign vocal fold lesions (BVFL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred and seventeen patients with LSCC and BVFL and 458 controls were included in this study. The genotyping was performed using the real-time polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS The MMP-2(-1306C/T) C/T genotype was significantly rarer among the patients with moderate-poorly differentiated LSCC compared to the control group, however the MMP-3(-11715A/6A) 6A/6A genotype was significantly more frequent compared to controls. Smoking and 6A/6A genotype of MMP-3(-11715A/6A) polymorphism were associated with increased odds of LSCC risk. No associations between MMP genotypes and BVFL were found. CONCLUSION Smoking and MMP-3 (-11715A/6A) 6A/6A genotype may cause a higher risk for developing LSCC.

Abstract
Inflammation of the vascular microenvironment modulates distinct types of vascular cells, and plays important roles in promoting atherosclerosis, stenosis/restenosis, and vascular-related diseases. Nik-related kinase (Nrk), a member of the Ste20-type kinase family, has been reported to be selectively expressed in embryonic skeletal muscle. However, whether Nrk is expressed in adult vascular smooth muscle, and if it influences intimal hyperplasia is unclear. Here, we found that Nrk is abundantly expressed in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and mouse arterial intima. Treatment of mouse VSMCs with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or platelet-derived growth factor significantly reduced Nrk expression. In addition, expression of Nrk was significantly reduced in regions of neointimal formation caused by guide-wire carotid artery injuries in mice, as well as in human atherosclerotic tissues, when compared to normal vessels. We identified that expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP3, MMP8 and MMP12) and inflammatory cytokines/chemokines (CCL6, CCL8, CCL11, CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL5 and CXCL9) are synergistically induced by Nrk siRNA in LPS-treated mouse VSMCs. Moreover, we found that resveratrol significantly impaired LPS- and Nrk siRNA-induced expression of MMP3, CCL8, CCL11, CXCL3 and CXCL5. These results suggested that Nrk may play important roles in regulating pathological progression of atherosclerosis or neointimal- hyperplasia-related vascular diseases.

Abstract
Matrix metallopeptidase 3 or MMP3, is a zinc-dependent proteolytic enzyme that is involved in various physiological processes via modification of the extracellular matrix. In particular, its over-expression has been associated with cancer metastasis and tumor growth in various cancers including breast cancer. MMP3 gene expression is regulated by several factors such as DNA polymorphisms which also serve as risk factors for breast cancer. As such, DNA polymorphisms of MMP3 have the potential to be utilized as genetic biomarkers for prediction and prognosis of metastatic breast cancer. Presently, genome-wide association studies of MMP3 gene polymorphisms which are associated with breast cancer risk and patient survival in a variety of populations are reviewed. In order to understand the potential role of MMP3 polymorphisms as genetic markers for breast cancer metastasis, the domain structure of MMP3, the regulation of its expression and its role in breast cancer metastasis are also briefly discussed in this review. The emergence of MMP3 gene polymorphisms as prognostic biomarker candidates for breast cancer metastasis may contribute towards improving targeted therapies and categorization of breast cancer cases in order to provide a better and more accurate prognosis.

Abstract
Pulpal and periapical diseases affect a large segment of the population. The role of microbial infections and host effector molecules in these diseases is well established. However, the interaction between host genes and environmental factors in disease susceptibility and progression is less well understood. Studies of genetic polymorphisms in disease relevant genes have suggested that individual predisposition may contribute to susceptibility to pulpal and periapical diseases. Other studies have explored the contribution of epigenetic mechanisms to these diseases. Ongoing research expands the spectrum of non-coding RNAs in pulpal disease to include viral microRNAs as well. This review summarizes recent advances in the genetic and epigenetic characterization of pulpal and periapical disease, with special emphasis on recent data that address the pathogenesis of irreversible pulpal pathosis and apical periodontitis. Specifically, proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory gene expression and gene polymorphism, as well as recent data on DNA methylation and microRNAs are reviewed. Improved understanding of these mechanisms may aid in disease prevention as well as in improved treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Severe inflammation, progressive cartilage, and bone destruction are typical pathologic changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis and lead to great difficulty for treatment. However, current therapy is inefficient to improve degenerative changes in progressive TMJ arthritis. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on severe inflammatory TMJ diseases. Progressive TMJ arthritis in rats was induced by intra-articular injection of complete Freund's adjuvant and monosodium iodoacetate. DPSCs were injected into the articular cavity to treat rat TMJ arthritis, with normal saline injection as control. Measurement of head withdrawal threshold, micro-computed tomography scanning, and histologic staining were applied to evaluate the severity of TMJ arthritis. Results showed that local injection of DPSCs in rats with TMJ arthritis relieved hyperalgesia and synovial inflammation, attenuated cartilage matrix degradation, and induced bone regeneration. Inflammatory factors TNF-α and IFN-γ were elevated in progressive TMJ arthritis and partially decreased by local injection of DPSCs. MMP3 and MMP13 were elevated in the arthritis + normal saline group and decreased in the arthritis + DPSCs group, which indicated amelioration of matrix degradation. The isolated primary synoviocytes were cocultured with DPSCs after inflammatory factors stimulated to explore the possible biological mechanisms. The expression of MMP3 and MMP13 in synoviocytes was elevated after TNF-α and IFN-γ stimulation and partially reversed by DPSC treatment in the in vitro study. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) was activated by inflammatory stimulation and suppressed by DPSC coculture. The upregulation of MMP3 and MMP13 triggered by inflammation was blocked by STAT1-specific inhibitor, suggesting that STAT1 regulated the expression of MMP3 and MMP13. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the possible therapeutic effects of local injection of DPSCs on progressive TMJ arthritis by inhibiting the expression of MMP3 and MMP13 through the STAT1 pathway.

Abstract
Arctigenin is a natural lignan that is found in burdock with anti‑viral, ‑oxidative, ‑inflammatory and anti‑tumor activities. In the current study, the effect of arctigenin on metastatic potential was examined in 4T‑1 mouse triple‑negative breast cancer cells. The results indicated that arctigenin inhibited cell motility and invasiveness, which was determined using wound healing and transwell invasion assays. Arctigenin suppressed matrix metalloprotease‑9 (MMP‑9) activity via gelatin zymography, and protein expression of cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) and MMP‑3. Furthermore, arctigenin attenuated the mRNA expression of metastatic factors, including MMP‑9, MMP‑3 and COX‑2. Based on these results, the effect of arctigenin on the mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK)/activating protein‑1 (AP‑1) signaling pathway was assessed in an attempt to identify the regulatory mechanism responsible for its anti‑metastatic effects. Arctigenin was demonstrated to inhibit the phosphorylation of extracellular signal‑regulated protein kinase (ERK) and c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (JNK), and the nuclear translocations of the AP‑1 subunits, c‑Jun and c‑Fos. In summary, the present study demonstrated that in 4T‑1 mouse triple‑negative breast cancer cells the anti‑metastatic effect of arctigenin is mediated by the inhibition of MMP‑9 activity and by the inhibition of the metastasis‑enhancing factors MMP‑9, MMP‑3 and COX‑2, due to the suppression of the MAPK/AP‑1 signaling pathway. The results of the current study demonstrated that arctigenin exhibits a potential for preventing cell migration and invasion in triple negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Craniofacial development comprises a complex process in humans in which failures or disturbances frequently lead to congenital anomalies. Cleft lip with/without palate (CL/P) is a common congenital anomaly that occurs due to variations in craniofacial development genes, and may occur as part of a syndrome, or more commonly in isolated forms (non-syndromic). The etiology of CL/P is multifactorial with genes, environmental factors, and their potential interactions contributing to the condition. Rehabilitation of CL/P patients requires a multidisciplinary team to perform the multiple surgical, dental, and psychological interventions required throughout the patient's life. Despite progress, lip/palatal reconstruction is still a major treatment challenge. Genetic mutations and polymorphisms in several genes, including extracellular matrix (ECM) genes, soluble factors, and enzymes responsible for ECM remodeling (e.g., metalloproteinases), have been suggested to play a role in the etiology of CL/P; hence, these may be considered likely targets for the development of new preventive and/or therapeutic strategies. In this context, investigations are being conducted on new therapeutic approaches based on tissue bioengineering, associating stem cells with biomaterials, signaling molecules, and innovative technologies. In this review, we discuss the role of genes involved in ECM composition and remodeling during secondary palate formation and pathogenesis and genetic etiology of CL/P. We also discuss potential therapeutic approaches using bioactive molecules and principles of tissue bioengineering for state-of-the-art CL/P repair and palatal reconstruction.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in atherosclerosis evolution into a coronary artery disease (CAD). They could be used as biomarkers for a predictive approach when they are studied simultaneously. We aim in our study to demonstrate prospectively in patients with history of CAD that MMPs level is linked to clinical cardiovascular outcomes. Two hundred and eighteen patients diagnosed with CAD were followed prospectively for 5 years in the Cardiology Department of la Rabta Hospital University. Clinical cardiovascular outcomes during the period of the cohort were recorded. Measures were performed for biological and matrix markers at baseline. MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were measured by ELISA in Sandwich assay. Fifty-nine cardiovascular outcomes occurred during the cohort period. By multivariate analysis, only MMP-3 persisted as a predictor for cardiovascular events even after adjustment. This metalloproteinase have been shown to be an independent predictor for cardiovascular outcomes (HR = 3.01; CI (1.3-6.95). The found cut-off value by receiver operating curve (ROC) was used for Kaplan-Meier analysis and revealed that patients with MMP-3 level higher than 9.3 ng/mL had a lower survival rate (p = 0.03). MMP-3 baseline level in patients with history of CAD is a potential predictor for cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
miR-134 has been shown to be associated with angiogenesis and the progression of osteosarcoma. This study further assessed the effects of miR-134 expression on osteosarcoma cell migration, invasion, and metastasis in vitro and in a nude mouse xenograft model, exploring the underlying molecular events. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that miR-134 directly targets the 3'-UTRs of MMP1 and MMP3 to reduce their expression in osteosarcoma cells. In conclusion, overexpression of miR-134 suppresses osteosarcoma cell invasion and metastasis through the inhibition of MMP1 and MMP3 expression. We propose miR-134 as an attractive novel therapeutic target for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the association between the 5A/6A promoter
polymorphism in the matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) gene
and in-stent restenosis (ISR) in a regional Chinese population. Methods A total of 818 patients who underwent primary implantation of drug-eluting
stents were enrolled and received a 6-month follow-up angiography and DNA
genotyping of the 5A/6A polymorphism. Results ISR was found in 36.9% of all patients (302 ISR vs. 516 no ISR). The genotype
proportion of 6A6A was significantly increased in ISRs (74.2% ISR vs. 66.8%
no ISR), whereas the allele frequency of 5A was significantly decreased in
ISR patients (25.8%) compared with controls who did not undergo ISR
(33.1%). Conclusions Our data indicate that the MMP3 6A6A genotype is a genetic
susceptibility factor for ISR after coronary stent placement, but the 5A
allele can lower the risk for patients within 6 months after stenting.
Therefore, genotyping 5A/6A in the MMP3 promoter is
suggested for patients who undergo coronary stent implantation.

Are MMP3, MMP8 and TIMP2 gene variants associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture susceptibility? J Sci Med Sport 2019; 22:753-757.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) is a common and severe knee injury which typically occurs as a result of sports participation, primarily via a non-contact mechanism. A number of extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors, including genetics, have been identified thus far. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (TIMPs) play a crucial role in extracellular matrix remodeling of ligaments and therefore the genes encoding MMPs and TIMPs are plausible candidates for investigation with ACL rupture risk. DESIGN A case-control genetic association study was conducted on 229 (158 male) individuals with surgically diagnosed primary ACLR, ruptured through non-contact mechanisms and 192 (107 male) apparently healthy participants (CON) without any history of ACLR. All participants were physically active, unrelated, self-reported Caucasians. METHODS All participants were genotyped for four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP): MMP3 (rs591058C/T, rs679620 G/A), MMP8 (rs11225395C/T), and TIMP2 (rs4789932 G/A) using standard PCR assays. Gene-gene interactions were inferred. Single-locus association analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. SNP-SNP interaction effects were analysed using multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method. RESULTS Genotype frequencies did not significantly differ between cases and controls, however, the MMP3 rs679620 G and rs591058C alleles were significantly overrepresented in cases compared to controls (p=0.021, OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.05-1.81). CONCLUSIONS These results support the hypothesis that genetic variation within MMP3 contributes to inter-individual susceptibility to non-contact ACLR. However, these results need to be explored further in larger, independent sample sets.

Abstract
Spontaneous dissection of the vessels of the neck is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke in young patients under 45 years of age. According to morphological studies, dissection of the vessels of the neck can be based on dysplastic changes in the arterial wall in arteriopathies, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia. The article presents a case of spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid artery in a 30-year-old patient with clinical manifestations of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia and carriage of homozygous variants of candidate genes: 4G/4G of the PAI-1 (-675, 4G/5G), T/T of the MTHFR C677T, 5A/5A of the MMP-3 (-1171 5A/6A) and A/A of the MMP-9 (8202A/G).

Abstract
PURPOSE Numerous studies have estimated the association between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) polymorphisms and the risk of oral cancer; the results, however, are inconsistent and conflicting. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of MMP-1, 2, and 3 polymorphisms with oral cancer risk. METHODS A computerized literature search was conducted of electronic databases and search engines. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for each gene, and the heterogeneity among studies was estimated using the Q-test and I2 values. Overall and subgroup analyses were undertaken. Statistical analyses were conducted using Review Manager v5.3 and Stata v12.0 software. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. For MMP-1(-1607) 1G/2G, a significant association was observed using the recessive genetic model (OR = 1.47; 95% CI = 1.14-1.91; I2 = 64%, pheterogeneity = 0.003). In the subgroup studies, a significant association was observed in the Asian subgroup (OR = 1.68; 95% CI = 1.42-1.99; I2 = 17%, pheterogeneity = 0.30 for the recessive model; and OR = 1.59; 95% CI = 1.19-2.13; I2 = 80%, pheterogeneity < 0.00001 for the allelic contrast model) and in the European subgroup (OR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.44-0.98; I2 = 21%, pheterogeneity = 0.26 for the allelic contrast model). No significant associations were observed with either MMP-2(-1306) C/T or MMP-3(-1171) 5A/6A. CONCLUSIONS The MMP-1(-1607) 1G/2G polymorphism is associated with oral cancer risk, and the 2G allele played different roles in Asian and European populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genes of SPARC, CCR2, and SMAD3 are implicated in orchestrating inflammatory response that leads to fibrosis in scleroderma and other fibrotic disorders. The aim of the studies is to evaluate synergistic anti-fibrotic potency of the siRNAs of these genes. METHODS The efficacy of the siRNA-combination was evaluated in bleomycin-induced mouse fibrosis. The pathological changes of skin and lungs of the mice were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome stains. The expression of inflammation and fibrosis associated genes and proteins in the tissues were assessed by real-time RT-PCR, RNA sequencing, Western blots and ELISA. Non-crosslinked fibrillar collagen was measured by the Sircol colorimetric assay. FINDINGS The applications of the combined siRNAs in bleomycin-induced mice achieved favorable anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects. Activation of fibroblasts was suppressed in parallel with inhibition of inflammation evidenced by reduced inflammatory cells and proinflammatory cytokines in the BALF and/or the tissues by the treatment. Aberrant expression of the genes normally expressed in fibroblasts, monocytes/ macrophage, endothelial and epithelial cells were significantly restrained after the treatment. In addition, transcriptome profiles indicated that some bleomycin-induced alterations of multiple biological pathways were recovered to varying degrees by the treatment. INTERPRETATION The application of the combined siRNAs of SPARC, CCR2, and SMAD3 genes ameliorated inflammation and fibrosis in bleomycin-induced mice. It systemically reinstated multiple biopathways, probably through controlling on different cell types including fibroblasts, monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells and others. The multi-target-combined therapeutic approach examined herein may represent a novel and effective therapy for fibrosis.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) fragmentation and inflammation. However, the mechanisms by which these events are coupled thereby fueling focal vascular damage are undefined. Here we report through single-cell RNA-sequencing of diseased aorta that the neuronal guidance cue netrin-1 can act at the interface of macrophage-driven injury and ECM degradation. Netrin-1 expression peaks in human and murine aneurysmal macrophages. Targeted deletion of netrin-1 in macrophages protects mice from developing AAA. Through its receptor neogenin-1, netrin-1 induces a robust intracellular calcium flux necessary for the transcriptional regulation and persistent catalytic activation of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) by vascular smooth muscle cells. Deficiency in MMP3 reduces ECM damage and the susceptibility of mice to develop AAA. Here, we establish netrin-1 as a major signal that mediates the dynamic crosstalk between inflammation and chronic erosion of the ECM in AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by extensive extracellular matrix degradation. Here Hadi et al. identify a netrin-1/neogenin-based crosstalk between macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to the secretion of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-3 by VSMCs and subsequent matrix degradation in AAA lesions.

Association of CILP, COL9A2 and MMP3 Gene Polymorphisms with Lumbar Disc Degeneration in an Indian Population. J Mol Neurosci 2018; 66:378-382. [PMID: 30288688 DOI: 10.1007/s12031-018-1182-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Accepted: 09/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) is a multifactorial disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in several structural and inflammatory genes like collagens, aggrecan, matrix metalloproteinases are associated with the risk of disc degeneration. In this study, we analyzed the role of a few important single nucleotide polymorphisms in cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP), collagen 9A2 (COL9A2) and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) genes in LDD from an Indian population. Two hundred patients with LDD and 200 healthy controls were recruited for the study. Genotyping was performed by allelic discrimination assay. The rs2073711 polymorphism (CILP gene - GG genotype) was associated with reduced risk of LDD in the Indian population (OR = 0.43, p = 0.016). The rs591058 polymorphism (MMP3 gene - TT genotype) is found to be associated with lower risk among women (OR = 0.34, p = 0.041). No significant association was found between COL9A2 polymorphism rs7533552 and the risk of LDD. We conclude that the CILP gene polymorphism (rs2073711) is associated with a lower risk of LDD, the MMP3 (rs591058) gene polymorphism is associated with LDD among women, and the TT genotype confers a lower risk of LDD.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is modulated by host genetic susceptibility factors such as Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Promoter polymorphism of MMP-1 and MMP-3 may modify the expression of the gene. Hence, we evaluated the association of MMP-1-16072G/1G and MMP-3-1612 5A/6A polymorphisms with development of HAND and the modulation of pathogenesis of HAND. We enrolled a total of 180 individuals, 50 HIVinfected individuals with HAND, 130 without HAND, and 150 healthy controls. Polymorphism of MMP-1 and MMP-3 were genotyped by PCR-RFLP. MMP-1-1607 2G1G, -16071G/2G-1G/1G genotypes and -1607 1G allele were associated with the development of HAND (OR = 1.64, P = 0.05; OR = 1.45, P = 0.04; OR = 1.69, P = 0.05). MMP-1- 16071G1G, MMP-3-16125A5A genotypes increased the risk for the development of HAND (OR = 1.78, P = 0.25; OR = 2.39, P = 0.13). MMP-3-1612 5A5A, -1612 6A/5A-5A/5A genotypes and -1612 5A allele were associated with the reduced risk of HAND (OR = 0.40, P = 0.05; OR = 0.53, P = 0.04; OR = 0.40, P = 0.01). Haplotype 5A1G increased the risk of development of HAND (OR = 1.93, P = 0.05). As observed in advanced HIV disease stage, MMP-1-1607 1G1G genotype enhance the risk for advancement of HIV disease (OR = 1.69, P = 0.89). MMP-3-1612 6A5A genotype showed higher risk for development of HAND in alcohol users (0R = 1.65, P = 0.44). MMP-1 genotype may have an influence on development of HAND whereas MMP3-1612 5A5A genotype may reduce risk for pathogenesis of HAND.

Abstract
Abnormal reduction of extracellular matrix (ECM), including type II collagen and aggrecan, caused by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important pathological feature of osteoarthritis (OA). Shikimic acid (SA), derived from natural plants, has displayed effective pharmacological properties in diverse diseases. The biological roles of SA in OA have not been reported before. Here, we found that treatment with SA (1 mM, 10 mM) prevented TNF-α-induced degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan ECM in human primary chondrocytes culture in vitro. Importantly, we also reported that SA treatment reduced TNF-α-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase‑1, ‑3, and ‑13 (MMP‑1, ‑3, and ‑13) and increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‑1 and ‑2 (TIMP‑1, ‑2). Additionally, SA treatment attenuated TNF-α-induced expression of a disintegrin and metalloprotease‑4 and ‑5 (ADAMTS‑4, ‑5). Mechanistically, we found that SA prevented activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF‑κB) pathway. Our findings suggest that SA might act as an important therapeutic agent in the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and therefore, assessing the genetic versus environmental background of CAS traits is of key importance. Carotid intima-media-thickness and plaque characteristics seem to be moderately heritable, with remarkable differences in both heritability and presence or severity of these traits among ethnicities. Although the considerable role of additive genetic effects is obvious, based on the results so far, there is an important emphasis on non-shared environmental factors as well. We aimed to collect and summarize the papers that investigate twin and family studies assessing the phenotypic variance attributable to genetic associations with CAS. Genes in relation to CAS markers were overviewed with a focus on genetic association studies and genome-wide association studies. Although the role of certain genes is confirmed by studies conducted on large populations and meta-analyses, many of them show conflicting results. A great focus should be on future studies elucidating the exact pathomechanism of these genes in CAS in order to imply them as novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Osseointegration of implants is conversely related to the generation of a fibrous tissue capsule around the implant by the host environment. Although TGF-β1 plays many roles in regeneration processes, it is the cytokine to be mostly associated to the production of fibrotic tissue and thus, its inhibition has demonstrated to be beneficial to prevent several fibrotic reactions. Surface biofunctionalization enables the immobilization of biologically active molecules on an implant surface to tailor the biological response of the host. Here, we studied in vitro biological effects of biofunctionalized CP-Ti surfaces with a TGF-β1 inhibitor peptide, P144. A reliable biofunctionalization process that tethers P144 peptides to commercially pure titanium was developed. Differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts and fibroblasts on P144-functionalized and control surfaces was assessed at the gene expression and protein production levels. Results showed that P144-functionalized surfaces reduced expression and production of fibrotic differentiation markers and increased osteoblastic differentiation markers. Therefore, biofunctionalization of surfaces with TGF-β1 inhibitor peptides are an alternative promising strategy for inducing osseointegration around medical devices and implants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of transforming growth factor β3 ( TGFβ3), muscle segment homeobox 1 ( MSX1), Metalloproteinases 3 ( MMP3), and MMP9 genes as candidates for nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate in an Indian population. DESIGN Case-control association study, mutational screening, and functional evaluation of obtained mutations. SETTING Mutational screening of the developmental genes, TGFβ3 and MSX1, along with functional evaluation and association of promoter region SNPs-one each in MMP3 and MMP9. PATIENTS, PARTICIPANTS Two hundred forty five NSCL±P cases from G. S. Memorial Plastic Surgery Hospital and Trauma Center, Varanasi and 201 healthy controls without a family history of congenital malformations from nearby schools, primary health centers, and the university hospital. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Sequencing, SSCP, and PCR-RFLP were used for candidate gene screening. MatInspector and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) were used to check the differential transcription factor binding of the variants at promoter region. Luciferase assay was used to test the transcriptional potential of the variant, and evaluation of the alternative splice site was carried out using exon-trapping experiment. RESULTS Metalloproteinases3 -1171 5A/6A was associated with NSCL±P, whereas MMP9 -1562 C/T did not show association. A rare variant in the promoter region of TGFβ3 (rs117462711) creates a differential binding site, confirmed by EMSA. Luciferase assay showed 3.7-fold increased expression level in mutant construct. A synonymous change in MSX1 (rs34165410) showed association with NSCL±P, which may create an alternative splice site or lead to low codon usage. Exon-trapping experiment failed to confirm alternative splicing, indicating low codon usage frequency of the mutant affecting the gene function. CONCLUSIONS TGFβ3, MSX1, and MMP3 are candidates for NSCL±P.

Abstract
Heart valves are organized connective tissues of high mechanical demand. They open and close over 100,000 times a day to preserve unidirectional blood flow by maintaining structure-function relationships throughout life. In affected individuals, structural failure compromises function and often leads to regurgitant blood flow and progressive heart failure. This is most common in degenerative valve disease due to age-related wear and tear, or congenital malformations. At present, the only effective treatment of valve disease is surgical repair or replacement and this is often impermanent and requires anti-coagulation therapy throughout life. Therefore, there is a critical need to discover new alternatives. A promising therapeutic area is tissue regeneration and in non-valvular tissues this requires a tightly regulated genetic “growth program” involving cell proliferation. To explore this in heart valves, we performed RNA-seq analysis to compare transcriptional profiles of aortic valve tissue isolated from mice during stages of growth (postnatal day (PND) 2) and adult maintenance (4 months). Data analysis reveals distinct mRNA profiles at each time point and pathway ontology identifies associated changes in biological functions. The PND2 aortic valve is characterized by extensive cell proliferation and expression of mRNAs related to the extracellular matrix (ECM). At 4 months, proliferation is not significant and a differential set of ECM-related genes are expressed. Interestingly there is enrichment of the defense response biological process at this later time point. Together, these data highlight the unique transcriptome of the postnatal valve during stages of growth and maturation, as well as biological functions associated with adult homeostatic valves. These studies create a platform for future work exploring the molecular programs altered in the onset of heart valve disease after birth and provide insights for the development of mechanistic-based therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an autoimmune disease triggered by acute rheumatic fever (ARF). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the modulation of immune responses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of MMP1, 3, and 12 promoter polymorphisms with RHD in a Han population in Southern China since the 3 genes are localized on the same chromosome and have a combined effect. METHODS DNA samples were obtained from 90 adult patients with RHD and 90 control subjects. Polymorphisms in MMP1 (rs1799750), MMP3 (rs3025058), and MMP12 (rs2276109) were genotyped by direct sequencing. Differences in genotype and allele frequencies of these polymorphisms were compared between the cases and the controls using Unconditional logistic regression models and Chi-squared test. RESULTS The 2G/2G genotype of rs1799750 in MMP1 was associated with a significantly higher risk of RHD when compared with the 1G/1G genotype (OR = 3.227; 95% CI:1.118-9.31; p = 0.03). The frequency of allele 2G was higher in patients with RHD compared to the controls (69.4% vs. 58.9%; p = 0.048) No significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies of rs3025058 in MMP3 and rs2276109 in MMP12 were found between the patients with RHD and the controls (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that rs1799750 in MMP1 might be a risk factor for RHD in a Han population in Southern China, and individuals carrying the 2G/2G genotype are likely more susceptible to RHD. In contrast, rs3025058 in MMP3 and rs2276109 in MMP12 might not contribute to the risk of developing RHD in this population. Further studies with larger samples and other ethnic populations are required to confirm these findings.
