Abstract
Astrocytes undergo disease-specific transcriptomic changes upon brain injury. However, phenotypic changes of astrocytes and their functions remain unclear after hemorrhagic stroke. Here we reported hemorrhagic stroke induced a group of inflammatory reactive astrocytes with high expression of Gfap and Vimentin, as well as inflammation-related genes lipocalin-2 (Lcn2), Complement component 3 (C3), and Serpina3n. In addition, we demonstrated that depletion of microglia but not macrophages inhibited the expression of inflammation-related genes in inflammatory reactive astrocytes. RNA sequencing showed that blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption-related gene matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) was highly upregulated in inflammatory reactive astrocytes. Pharmacological inhibition of MMP3 in astrocytes or specific deletion of astrocytic MMP3 reduced BBB disruption and improved neurological outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke mice. Our study demonstrated that hemorrhagic stroke induced a group of inflammatory reactive astrocytes that were actively involved in disrupting BBB through MMP3, highlighting a specific group of inflammatory reactive astrocytes as a critical driver for BBB disruption in neurological diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is currently treated by regenerative therapies that aim to inhibit arthritic degeneration. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is one of the physical regenerative approaches used for KOA management. However, little is known regarding the impact of shock wave treatment on matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), which is one of the enzymes mediating cartilage degradation. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of ESWT on MMP-3 levels and pain intensity in patients with KOA. METHODS Fourteen patients diagnosed with Kellgren Lawrence, grades 2 and 3 KOA were recruited for the study. ESWT piezo shockwave was applied once a week for six weeks. MMP-3 levels in the blood were measured pre-test, mid-test (three weeks after therapy) and post-test (one week after the last session) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The perceived pain was recorded at each session by the Wong Becker Face Scale. RESULTS The median pre-test, mid-test and post-test MMP-3 levels were 19.92 ng/mL, 15.89 ng/mL and 18.82 ng/mL, respectively, and there were significant differences between the pre-test and mid-test, and the pre-test and post-test values (p < 0.05). The pain scores also decreased significantly over the period of intervention. CONCLUSION MMP-3 levels decreased significantly in KOA patients after ESWT, and the decline was most obvious after 3 weeks of therapy. Therefore, EWST should be considered as a suitable treatment option for KOA.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that reduced sleep duration, sleep fragmentation, and decreased sleep quality in patients with Alzheimer's disease are related to dysfunction in orexin signaling. At the same time, blood-brain barrier disruption is considered an early biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. However, currently no report has examined how changes in orexin signaling relate to changes in the blood-brain barrier of patients who have Alzheimer's disease with sleep insufficiency. This cross-sectional study included 50 patients with Alzheimer's disease who received treatment in 2019 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: those with insufficient sleep (sleep duration ≤ 6 hours, n = 19, age 61.58 ± 8.54 years, 10 men) and those with normal sleep durations (sleep duration > 6 hours, n = 31, age 63.19 ± 10.09 years, 18 men). Demographic variables were collected to evaluate cognitive function, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and activities of daily living. The levels of orexin, its receptor proteins, and several blood-brain barrier factors were measured in cerebrospinal fluid. Sleep insufficiency was associated with impaired overall cognitive function that spanned multiple cognitive domains. Furthermore, levels of orexin and its receptors were upregulated in the cerebrospinal fluid, and the blood-brain barrier was destroyed. Both these events precipitated each other and accelerated the progression of Alzheimer's disease. These findings describe the clinical characteristics and potential mechanism underlying Alzheimer's disease accompanied by sleep deprivation. Inhibiting the upregulation of elements within the orexin system or preventing the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier could thus be targets for treating Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Purpose: Previous studies of MMP-3 -1171 5A/6A in cancers have produced inconclusive outcomes. This updated meta-analysis was performed to clarify the link between this variant and cancer. Methods: Databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE and Cochrane were searched for data collection. The associations were calculated by odds ratios with 95% CIs. Results: 63 eligible studies with 14,252 cases and 15,176 controls were included. The codominant 2, codominant 3, dominant, recessive and allele models were found to be significantly associated with 1.28-, 1.13-, 1.13-, 1.19- and 1.13-fold enhanced overall risk of cancer, respectively. Stratification analysis revealed a 1.28-times enhanced risk of esophageal cancer (codominant 1), 1.29- and 1.26-fold (codominant 3) and 1.18- and 1.28-fold (recessive model) enhanced risk in colorectal and gastrointestinal cancers, respectively, 1.30-, 1.35- and 1.22-times in codominant model 1, dominant and allele models for breast cancer, 1.56-fold (codominant 2) for gynecological cancer and 2.40-times in codominant model 2 for hepatocellular cancer. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests a significant association between the MMP-3 -1171 5A/6A variant and cancer. This meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY (registration number: INPLASY202280049).

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) in humans is an inevitable consequence of ageing and can now be effectively managed with advancements in knowledge and understanding of the disease. The major concern in a patient suffering from this disease is the functional impairment caused by the pain. The goals in the management of OA knee include symptom relief with preservation of joint function. Despite there being a number of studies on the effectiveness of PRP and CS for knee OA, most of them have focused on patient-reported functional outcomes only. Hence, we conducted this study to assess the potential and effectiveness of a single intra-articular injection of PRP and CS in the functional improvement of knee OA patients using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and to establish the bio-modulatory effects of intra-articular PRP and CS in knee OA patients by estimating the serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) levels. Methodology Patients attending the outpatient department with complaints of knee pain were screened. Standing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the knees were obtained. Patients with Kellgren and Lawrence (K-L) grades II and III were enrolled in our study. A total of 96 patients were included in the study after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups (PRP and CS) by randomisation. There were 48 each in the PRP and CS groups, out of which nine were lost to follow-up, two from the PRP group and seven from the CS group. A total of 87 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were finally enrolled in the study and followed up for nine months after a single intra-articular injection. The biochemical assessment of serum levels of MMP-3 was done at baseline and in the ninth month. Accordingly, patients in the PRP group were injected with freshly prepared PRP (3 ml) within two hours of preparation, whereas those in the CS received 80 mg of methylprednisolone acetate. VAS and WOMAC were measured at baseline, and then in the first, third, sixth, and ninth month post-injection follow-ups. MMP-3 level was estimated before the injection and at the ninth-month post-injection follow-up. Data collected for both groups were analysed and compared with each other. Conclusion PRP is unquestionably a better option than CS in OA of the knee based on boosting functional activity, lowering stiffness, and reducing pain, all three of which are denoted by the WOMAC and VAS scores as the effect of PRP lasts longer than CS injections for the aforesaid issues. We could not find any significant change in levels of MMP3 post PRP and CS injections, which signifies that these two modalities do not have any effect in either preventing cartilage degeneration or promoting cartilage regeneration. Our findings have shown that PRP injections are safe, minimally invasive, and effective treatment modalities for OA knee.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) and lactoferrin (LF) injections on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cartilage and subchondral bone in mono-iodoacetate (MIA)-induced temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis model in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vivo study, a total of 24 rats were divided into three groups as follows: saline group (Group 1), HMWHA group (Group 2), and LF group (Group 3) including eight rats in each group. The intra-articular injections were administered once a week for three weeks after osteoarthritis was induced. All animals were euthanized 28 days after induction of osteoarthritis, and TMJs were harvested for histomorphometric, immunohistochemical, and micro-computed tomography (CT) analysis. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the HMWHA and LF groups in terms of the histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis results (p>0.05). According to the micro-CT analysis, the LF group had the highest mean bone volume fraction (74.9±0.5) and trabecular thickness (0.122±0.002), while the saline group had the lowest mean values (55.0±0.3 and 0.071±0.002, respectively) (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the HMWHA and LF groups according to the micro-CT analysis (p>0.05). Both groups had better healing effects than the saline group in all analyses. CONCLUSION Lactoferrin has a healing effect at least as much as HMWHA in MIA-induced TMJ osteoarthritis. We suggest that LF may be evaluated in future clinical studies as a promising agent in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
There has been a growing interest in the presence and role of B cell aggregates within the central nervous system of multiple sclerosis patients. However, very little is known about the expression profile of molecules associated with these aggregates and how they might be influencing aggregate development or persistence in the brain. The current study focuses on the effect of matrix metalloproteinase-3, which is associated with B cell aggregates in autopsied multiple sclerosis brain tissue, on B cells. Autopsied brain sections from multiple sclerosis cases and controls were screened for the presence of CD20+ B cell aggregates and expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3. Using flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and gene array as methods, in vitro studies were conducted using peripheral blood of healthy volunteers to demonstrate the effect of matrix metalloproteinase-3 on B cells. Autopsied brain sections from multiple sclerosis patients containing aggregates of B cells expressed a significantly higher amount of matrix metalloproteinase-3 compared to controls. In vitro experiments demonstrated that matrix metalloproteinase-3 dampened the overall activation status of B cells by downregulating CD69, CD80 and CD86. Furthermore, matrix metalloproteinase-3-treated B cells produced significantly lower amounts of interleukin-6. Gene array data confirmed that matrix metalloproteinase-3 altered the proliferation and survival profiles of B cells. Taken together, out data indicate a role for B cell modulatory properties of matrix metalloproteinase-3.

Abstract
α-Synuclein (aSyn) is a protein implicated in physiological functions such as neurotransmitter release at the synapse and the regulation of gene expression in the nucleus. In addition, pathological aSyn assemblies are characteristic for a class of protein aggregation disorders referred to as synucleinopathies, where aSyn aggregates appear as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. We recently discovered a novel post-translational pyroglutamate (pGlu) modification at Gln79 of N-truncated aSyn that promotes oligomer formation and neurotoxicity in human synucleinopathies. A priori, the appearance of pGlu79-aSyn in vivo involves a two-step process of free N-terminal Gln79 residue generation and subsequent cyclization of Gln79 into pGlu79. Prime candidate enzymes for these processes are matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and glutaminyl cyclase (QC). Here, we analyzed the expression of aSyn, MMP-3, QC and pGlu79-aSyn in brains of two transgenic mouse models for synucleinopathies (BAC-SNCA and ASO) by triple immunofluorescent labellings and confocal laser scanning microscopy. We report a co-localization of these proteins in brain structures typically affected by aSyn pathology, namely hippocampus in BAC-SNCA mice and substantia nigra in ASO mice. In addition, Western blot analyses revealed a high abundance of QC, MMP-3 and transgenic human aSyn in brain stem and thalamus but lower levels in cortex/hippocampus, whereas endogenous mouse aSyn was found to be most abundant in cortex/hippocampus, followed by thalamus and brain stem. During aging of ASO mice, we observed no differences between controls and transgenic mice in MMP-3 levels but higher QC content in thalamus of 6-month-old transgenic mice. Transgenic human aSyn abundance transiently increased and then showed decrease in oldest ASO mice analyzed. Immunohistochemistry revealed a successive increase in intraneuronal and extracellular formation of pGlu79-aSyn in substantia nigra during aging of ASO mice. Together, our data are supportive for a role of MMP-3 and QC in the generation of pGlu79-aSyn in brains affected by aSyn pathology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES It has been reported that matrix metalloproteinase, MMP-3 may play a significant role in the pathophysiology of mental disorders. However, there are no data on the level of MMP-3 in people suffering from schizophrenia, or its influence on the mental state of these people. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an antipsychotic treatment on the blood levels of MMP-3, as well as investigating its relationship with insight into schizophrenia. METHODS Thirty people with schizophrenia were included in the study. The concentration of MMP-3 in the blood serum was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Insight into the disease was assessed using the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale. RESULTS The antipsychotic treatment applied decreased the levels of MMP-3 in patients with schizophrenia (p = 0.005), however, the statistically significant interaction (p = 0.02) indicates that the decrease only concerned men. There was also a statistically significant correlation between the level of MMP-3 and insight into the disease (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION MMP-3 may be associated with gender, treatment and symptoms in schizophrenic patients.KEY POINTSMMP3 could be used as a potential biomarker for schizophrenia.The level of MMP-3 decreased due to the applied antipsychotic treatment.The higher the level of MMP-3 in a group of people with schizophrenia, the better insight into their disease.

Abstract
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder, considered to associate with immune aberration.Increased T helper type-1 cell-related cytokines were reported in RP patients. mRNA expressions of a regulatory T cell cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 increased, whereas pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1β and IL6 mRNA expressions decreased in freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells of RP patients compared with those in healthy individuals. Upon in vitro stimulation with mitogen, IL10 mRNA expressions decreased, and IL1β and IL6 mRNA expressions increased in RP patients.This short-time dynamic change of gene expressions from anti-inflammatory to pro-inflammatory features of immune cells may be associated with the "relapsing" disease course of patients with RP. IL1β mRNA expressions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells exhibited positive correlations with serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 concentrations in patients with respiratory involvement. Such positive correlation was not found in those without respiratory involvement.In a metagenomic analysis, an altered composition of gut microbes was found, suggesting that microbe metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids may affect T cell responses of the patients.In this review, the relationships among RP-related inflammatory molecules were summarized. The data support a hypothesis that the immune conditions are different between steady-state and inflammation in RP patients.

Abstract
Extracellular HMGB1 acts as an alarmin in multiple autoimmune diseases. While its release and functions have been extensively studied, there is a substantial lack of knowledge regarding HMGB1 regulation at the site of inflammation. Herein we show that enzymes present in arthritis-affected joints process HMGB1 into smaller peptides in vitro. Gel electrophoresis, Western blotting and mass spectrometry analyses indicate cleavage sites for human neutrophil elastase, cathepsin G, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 within the HMGB1 structure. While human neutrophil elastase and matrix metalloproteinase 3 might alter the affinity of HMGB1 to its receptors by cleaving the acidic C-terminal tail, cathepsin G rapidly and completely degraded the alarmin. Contrary to a previous report we demonstrate that HMGB1 is not a substrate for dipeptidyl peptidase IV. We also provide novel information regarding the presence of these proteases in synovial fluid of juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients. Correlation analysis of protease levels and HMGB1 levels in synovial fluid samples did not, however, reveal any direct relationship between the recorded levels. This study provides knowledge of proteolytic processing of HMGB1 relevant for the regulation of HMGB1 during inflammatory disease.

Abstract
T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) is a surface molecule expressed on immune cells which play a role in immune regulation. The aims of the present study were to determine whether circulating soluble T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin-3 (sTIM-3) are elevated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and investigate the relationships between sTIM-3 and clinical features of RA.The study included 116 patients with established RA and 27 healthy control subjects. Serum levels of sTIM-3 were measured via the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Correlations between serum sTIM-3 and a range of parameters including anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) titer, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) were assessed.Serum sTIM-3 was significantly elevated in RA patients compared with those in healthy subjects, and it was positively correlated with ACPA titer (r = 0.27 P = .005), ESR (r = 0.27, P = .004) and MMP-3 (r = 0.35, P < .001). In RA patients with high ACPA titers (≥200 U/mL), sTIM-3 was not correlated with ESR or MMP-3. Whereas, sTIM-3 was significantly correlated with ESR and MMP-3 in RA patients with low ACPA titers (<200 U/mL).Serum sTIM-3 was increased in RA patients, and it was associated with proinflammatory markers and disease activity in RA patients under a particular ACPA status. Our data suggest that circulating sTIM-3 may be a useful biomarker for the determination of disease activity in RA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) formation is accompanied by degradation of extracellular matrix components (EMC). Numerous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the process, but the involvement of MMP-3 remains unclear. Additionally, the changes in proteoglycan (PG) structure can alter the signal transduction pathways in TAA, though the enzymatic systems which originate them are not fully understood. OBJECTIVES To measure MMP-3 and sulfatase levels in aneurysmal tissue, comparing them with non-aneurysmal vessels, and to investigate possible correlations with patients' serum levels in order to evaluate their potential usefulness in aiding aneurysm detection and monitoring. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 74 patients (TAA: n = 42; control group: n = 32). Sulfatase activity was measured colometrically and MMP-3 levels were measured immunoenzymatically. RESULTS Sulfatase activities were higher (p = 0.03) and MMP-3 concentrations lower (p = 0.014) in aneurysmal tissue than in normal aortic tissue. Medium-sized dilatations were associated with lower tissue MMP-3 concentrations than small dilatations (p = 0.033). No differences in sulfatase activity or MMP-3 concentration in the serum of TAA patients were observed in comparison with the controls. The serum and tissue levels of MMP-3 were correlated (r = 0.41; p < 0.001). The serum levels of MMP-3 were significantly lower in the female patients than in the male patients (p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Our studies confirmed the lower MMP-3 levels in aneurysmal tissue, but the lack of a statistically confirmed reduction of MMP-3 in the blood serum seems to preclude its usefulness for diagnostic purposes. Our study points to the differences in MMP-3 behavior between TAA and abdominal aortic aneurysms. Significantly higher sulfatase activity in TAA tissue suggests a possible impact of sulfatase on signal transduction pathways involved in aneurysm formation.

Abstract
The pathogenic relationship of ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis is not known. Therefore, we examined dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis separately and in combination with a mouse arthritis model that mimics rheumatoid arthritis and evaluated the deterioration-related factors of each condition. Arthritis was induced in a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model using DBA/1JJmsSlc mice and ulcerative colitis was induced by the administration of drinking water containing 3.0% (w/v) DSS. The arthritis/DSS-treated mice developed worse colitis scores compared to that of the other groups of mice. The arthritis/DSS-treated mice did not demonstrate changes in hind foot volumes or in the concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in the plasma; however, plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were increased. Our results showed that IL-6 and TNF-α may influence the deterioration effect of colitis in arthritic mice.

Abstract
Homeobox A10 (HOXA10) belongs to the family of HOX genes, which are closely connected with embryonic development and serve important roles in various tumors. However, the role of HOXA10 in bladder cancer (BC) remains unclear. In the present study, the role of HOXA10 in BC and the underlying mechanisms by which it promotes the disease progression were investigated. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the expression of the HOXA10 protein was significantly higher in BC tissues as compared with that in adjacent normal tissues. Subsequent statistical analysis revealed that upregulation of HOXA10 was significantly associated with the pathological grade and clinical stage of BC patients. In the BC cell lines T24 and 5637, silencing of HOXA10 by small interfering RNA transfection suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells, and led to decreased matrix metalloproteinase-3 expression. Taken together, overexpression of HOXA10 may be associated with poor prognosis in BC, and may serve as a novel antitumor therapy target for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT In view of the partial clinical benefit and significant toxicity of traditional rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatments, there is a growing trend to use complementary therapy. The antiarthritic activity of soy is related to the effect of soy isoflavones. However, little is known about the antiarthritic activity of soy protein itself. This study demonstrates that soy protein isolate (SPI) and etanercept (ETN), a tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitor, protect rats against the effects of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) by reducing inflammation (TNF-α and matrix metalloproteinase-3), autoantibody production (anticyclic citrullinated peptide), and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde). Only SPI improved dyslipidemia accompanied by RA, giving it the advantage of reducing cardiovascular risk. Additionally, the severity of arthritis-induced pathology, including inflammatory infiltrates, synovial hyperplasia, pannus formation, synovial vascularity, and cartilage erosions, was reduced by both SPI and ETN. This research ascertains the possible antiarthritic effect of SPI, making it a recommended alternative therapy for RA.

Abstract
Background: Although anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP Ab) is reported to be found in 5-20% of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), its clinical significance has not been elucidated.Objective: To clarify the association of anti-CCP Ab with clinical features in PsA.Methods: Patients were enrolled who fulfilled the classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR) criteria and visited our hospital. We retrospectively compared clinical characteristics between those who were positive and negative for anti-CCP Ab and further compared changes in disease activity in the patients treated with biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).Results: We examined 41 patients (11 females), seven were anti-CCP Ab-positive and 34 were negative. Age (55.0 ± 15.1 years old) and frequency of lung involvements (71.4%) in the anti-CCP Ab-positive group were significantly higher than those (40.0 ± 16.0 and 0%, respectively) in the negative group (p < .05). Rheumatoid factor (RF) titer (749.4 ± 860.7 U/mL) and MMP-3 (604.8 ± 1060.6) in the anti-CCP Ab-positive group was significantly higher than that (3.6 ± 4.4 U/mL and 111.2 ± 77.4, respectively) in the negative group (p < .05). Five patients were treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors (infliximab (IFX): 3 and adalimumab (ADA): 2) in the anti-CCP Ab-positive group, while in the negative group there were 11 (IFX: 6, ADA: 4, and etanercept (ETN): 1). Within 6 months of treatment, arthritis did not improve with TNF inhibitors in the anti-CCP Ab-positive group, whereas it improved significantly in the negative group.Conclusion: In patients with PsA, anti-CCP Ab might be related to lung involvements, elderly onset, RF and MMP-3 titers, and resistance to TNF inhibitor.

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.

Abstract
Imbalance of metabolism on catabolic and anabolic molecules in chondrocytes has been associated with the cartilage damage in osteoarthritis (OA). Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), one of the most important catabolic factors, acts as a cartilage-degrading enzyme, which is associated with the degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan. Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15), an important member of the KLFs family, possesses a variety of biological functions. However, the physiological roles of KLF15 in chondrocytes and the pathological progression of OA remain unknown. In the current study, we report that KLF15 is expressed in primary chondrocytes as well as ATDC5 and SW1353 chondrogenic cell lines. Interestingly, KLF15 expression was significantly lower in chondrocytes from OA patients compared with those from normal subjects. Also, we found that tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) treatment reduced the expression of KLF15 mediated by p53 in human chondrocytes. Notably, it was shown that KLF15 reduced TNF-α-induced expression of MMP-3 at the transcriptional level. Mechanistically, the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay displayed that KLF15 could bind to the promoter region of MMP-3. Our results suggest that KLF15 might be a novel therapeutic target of OA.

Abstract
Context: The correlation between aggressive prostate cancer and obesity mainly based on body mass index (BMI) and pathology after surgery remains controversial. Aims: The aim of the study was to correlate BMI, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and the plasmatic levels of leptin, adiponectin, and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and biomarkers of adipose tissue function, with the detection of Gleason patterns 4 and 5 at biopsy. Subjects and Methods: Consecutive patients with prostate cancer at 12-core transrectal biopsy were enrolled. BMI, waist circumference (WC), blood samples to evaluate the plasmatic levels of triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), adiponectin, leptin, and MMP-3 were obtained immediately before biopsy. The VAI was calculated according to the formula: WC/(39.68 + [1.88 × BMI]) × TG/1.03 × 1.31/HDL. Results: One hundred and forty-nine patients were entered. The median PSA, BMI, and VAI were 10.0 ng/ml, 27.6 kg/m2, and 4.6, respectively. Gleason patterns 4 or 5 were detected in 68 (45.6%) patients; in 15 (41.7%), 31 (44.9%), and 22 (50.0%) among normal weight, overweight, and obese patients, respectively (P = 0.55). The statistical analysis did not show any significant correlation between BMI, VAI, the plasmatic levels of leptin, adiponectin, MMP-3, and the detection of Gleason patterns 4 and 5 at biopsy. A statistically significant association emerged with older age (P = 0.017) and higher PSA values (P = 0.02). Conclusion: We did not find any association between BMI, VAI, the plasmatic levels of adiponectin, leptin, and MMP-3 and the detection of Gleason patterns 4 and 5 at prostate biopsy.

Abstract
The purpose of our study was to determine the association between biomechanical outcomes of walking gait (peak vertical ground reaction force [vGRF], vGRF loading rate [vGRF-LR], and knee adduction moment [KAM]) 6 months following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and biochemical markers of serum type-II collagen turnover (collagen type-II cleavage product to collagen type-II C-propeptide [C2C:CPII]), plasma degenerative enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase-3 [MMP-3]), and a pro-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-6 [IL-6]). Biochemical markers were evaluated within the first 2 weeks (6.5 ± 3.8 days) following ACL injury and again 6 months following ACLR in eighteen participants. All peak biomechanical outcomes were extracted from the first 50% of the stance phase of walking gait during a 6-month follow-up exam. Limb symmetry indices (LSI) were used to normalize the biomechanical outcomes in the ACLR limb to that of the contralateral limb (ACLR/contralateral). Bivariate correlations were used to assess associations between biomechanical and biochemical outcomes. Greater plasma MMP-3 concentrations after ACL injury and at the 6-month follow-up exam were associated with lesser KAM LSI. Lesser KAM was associated with greater plasma IL-6 at the 6-month follow-up exam. Similarly, lesser vGRF-LR LSI was associated with greater plasma MMP-3 concentrations at the 6-month follow-up exam. Lesser peak vGRF LSI was associated with higher C2C:CPII after ACL injury, yet this association was not significant after accounting for walking speed. Therefore, lesser biomechanical loading in the ACLR limb, compared to the contralateral limb, 6 months following ACLR may be related to deleterious joint tissue metabolism that could influence future cartilage breakdown. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate whether the level of serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), a marker of synovium inflammation, is affected by clinical characteristics of patients in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS We analyzed data from 1087 female patients with RA. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to explore associations between variables. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate patient background variables that could potentially affect serum MMP-3 levels. RESULTS Serum MMP-3 was moderately correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP) (r: 0.478). Factors that independently influenced serum MMP-3 levels were CRP (β: 0.450), prednisolone (PSL) use (β: 0.100), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (β: -0.085), swollen joint count assessed on 28 joints (β: 0.072), and body mass index (β: -0.061) in female patients with RA. In RA patients with PSL use, factors that independently influenced serum MMP-3 levels were CRP (β: 0.480), eGFR (β: -0.175), and PSL dose (β: 0.171). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that steroid therapy and renal dysfunction affect serum MMP-3 levels in patients with RA.

Abstract
Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) is a specific histological biomarker for diagnosing early acute kidney injury which is markedly up-regulated in the proximal tubular cells in acute and chronic tubular injury. KIM-1 expression is poorly defined in the renal tubules of malaria patients. This present study aimed to determine KIM-1 expression as a specific biomarker for acute tubular damage and to identify matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) as a mediator for KIM-1 shedding. Paraffin-embedded kidney tissues from autopsies of malaria patients were obtained from the Department of Tropical Pathology, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Thailand. The kidney tissues were divided into 2 groups: those with acute kidney injury (AKI) (n = 10 cases) and those with non-AKI (n = 10 cases). Ten normal kidney tissues were used as a control group. The expression of KIM-1 and MMP-3 was examined by immunohistochemical staining. KIM-1 and MMP-3 expressions were strongly expressed in the proximal tubular cells in all kidney tissues from severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria with histological changes showing acute tubular damage. The mean intensity and total score of KIM-1 and MMP-3 expressions were significantly increased in proximal tubules of AKI group compared to non-AKI and control groups (all P < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation of total score of KIM-1 expression and the parameters of kidney function for AKI, including serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). In addition, strong positive correlations were found between total score of KIM-1 expression and proximal tubular necrosis and MMP-3 expression. The study supports the potential role of KIM-1 as a specific biomarker for renal proximal tubular damage in malarial AKI, and indicates that the process of KIM-1 shedding might be stimulated by MMP-3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) levels can predict remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with adalimumab (ADA). METHODS Subjects were 114 RA patients continuously treated with ADA for 52 weeks. Predictive factors at baseline and 4 weeks after initiation of ADA therapy for the achievement of remission (28-point count Disease Activity Score-CRP (DAS28-CRP) < 2.3) at 52 weeks were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS DAS28-CRP at 4 weeks (odds ratio (OR) 0.614, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.382-0.988) and improvement in serum MMP-3 levels at 4 weeks (OR 1.057, 95% CI 1.002-1.032) were independent predictors of remission at 52 weeks. The best cut-off level of DAS28-CRP and improvement in serum MMP-3 levels at 4 weeks for predicting remission at 52 weeks was 3.73 (sensitivity: 90%, specificity: 50%, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC): 62%) and 39.93% (sensitivity: 47%, specificity: 83%, AUC: 64%), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that a high rate of improvement in serum MMP-3 levels at 4 weeks after initiation of ADA therapy can predict remission at 52 weeks in RA patients.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) as a potential marker of disease activity and joint damage in 92 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), compared to 24 osteoarthritis (OA) patients and 26 healthy controls. METHODS The concentrations of MMP-3 were measured by ELISA using the commercial kit AESKULISA DF MMP-3 (AESKU.Diagnostics, Germany) and compared with other laboratory parameters routinely used to assess the disease status, clinical score (DAS28) and radiographic stage in the group of RA patients. RESULTS The mean serum concentrations of MMP-3 were 199.1 ± 160 ng/mL in RA patients, 113.9 ± 96.9 ng/mL in OA patients and 48.3 ± 19.2 in healthy controls. The differences were highly significant: RA patients and healthy controls (P<0.0001), RA and OA patients (P=0.008) as well as between OA patients and controls (P=0.009). MMP-3 concentrations were further compared with other laboratory parameters and clinical and structural damage data. There were correlations between MMP-3 and CRP (r=0.304, P<0.01), DAS28 (r=0.301, P<0.05), levels of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (r=0.241, P<0.05), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.200, P=0.059) and radiographic disease stage (r=0.197, P=0.063). CONCLUSION These results demonstrated that measurement of MMP-3 could become a marker of disease activity in RA patients.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to elucidate the prevalence of radiographic knee chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to clarify whether CC is correlated with self-reported knee symptoms and a serum catabolic biomarker. METHODS A total of 1278 volunteers participated. Plain radiographs of both knees were obtained. Identification of a linear calcification in the knee joint space was defined as CC. Patients with a Kellgren-Lawrence grade of 2 or more were considered to have knee osteoarthritis (OA). Symptoms were evaluated using the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Pain scale, and serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) concentration was determined. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine whether CC was correlated with OA, the KOOS Pain scale and MMP-3 concentration. RESULTS Twenty-eight subjects were found to have CC (2.2%), and 389 had OA (30.4%). CC was correlated with OA (odds ratio: 5.797; P = 0.006). Additionally, CC was correlated with MMP-3 concentration (B = 11.415, β = 0.059, P = 0.014), but not with KOOS Pain scale. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of CC was low in the Japanese population evaluated in this study. While CC was not correlated with self-reported knee symptoms, it was positively correlated with serum MMP-3 concentration.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-9 polymorphisms are characterized by plaque stability in coronary arteries. The aim of the current study was to investigate the 5A/6A polymorphism in the MMP-3 gene and C/T polymorphism in the MMP-9 gene in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The study population consisted of 400 patients who underwent coronary angiography. There were two groups consisting of 200 consecutive patients with CAD, presenting with stable angina pectoris, and 200 consecutive patients exhibiting normal coronary arteries. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms in the MMP gene, MMP-3 and MMP-9, were detected using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. Mean age, gender distribution, smoking status, presence of diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia were identified to be similar between the groups. One hundred and twenty seven (63.5%) patients had hypertension in the CAD group, whereas only 55 (27.5%) patients had hypertension in the control group (P<0.001). No significant difference in frequency of alleles and genotypes of MMP-9 C→T between the CAD and control groups was identified. The 5A allele frequency of MMP-3 in the CAD group was significantly higher when compared with the control group (P<0.001; odds ratio=2.18). The genotype frequency of MMP-3 5A/5A in the CAD group was significantly higher when compared with the controls (P=0.005). When compared with the homozygous wild-type (6A/6A) genotype of the MMP-3 gene, the cumulative frequency of heterozygote and homozygote genotypes of the MMP-3 gene was significantly higher in the CAD compared with the control group (P<0.001). Thus, the present study demonstrated that the 5A/5A and 6A/5A+5A/5A genotypes of the MMP-3 gene were associated with an increased risk of CAD.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-3 is invariably upregulated in cancerous condition. So we aimed to determine serum level of MMP-3 in canine mammary tumors. The gene was expressed in E. coli system as ~43kDa recombinant protein, which was refolded, purified, and confirmed. Hyperimmune serum was raised against the expressed protein in rabbits and mice to standardize sandwich ELISA. ROC analysis revealed largest area under the curve of 0.998 with sensitivity (100%) and specificity (95%) for a cut-off value of 0.363 with respect to histopathological staining. The finding of the present study indicates that MMP-3 can act as a potential molecular marker for serodiagnosis of canine mammary carcinomas.

Abstract
AIM Host-related factors could be important to the fundamental understanding of oral diseases. One such factor is matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). MMP3 (stromelysin 1) is crucial in connective tissue remodeling. Promoter regions are specific segments of DNA that control the rate of mRNA synthesis. Thus, polymorphism in the (5A/6A) promoter region of the MMP3 gene results in different transcriptional activities and is related to susceptibility in diseases. The aim of the present study was to detect polymorphism in the MMP3 gene-promoter region in oral submucous fibrosis patients (OSF), oral squamous cell carcinoma patients (OSCC), and normal individuals with tobacco and areca nut habit and without lesions, and to correlate the genotype as a risk factor in these diseases. METHOD Genomic DNA from blood of OSF (n = 5), OSCC (n = 5), and normal individuals with tobacco and areca nut habit (n = 5) and without (n = 5) were subjected to polymerase chain reaction of the MMP3 gene-promoter region and DNA sequencing. RESULTS The 5A allele in the MMP3 gene-promoter region was observed more frequently in the OSF group than the control groups. No significant difference was noted between OSCC and the control groups on the 5A allele. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the 5A allele of the MMP3 gene-promoter region could be associated with OSF risk factor, but not OSCC, in an Indian population.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) is a mediator of matrix remodelling and a proposed susceptibility locus in the genetic profile of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the MMP3 gene as a risk marker for these injuries by conducting a case control genetic association study in two independent samples groups. Three previously investigated MMP3 variants (rs679620, rs591058 and rs650108) in addition to the functional promoter variant (rs3025058) were genotyped in 195 Australian control participants and 79 Australian individuals with chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Similarly, 234 South African individuals with acute anterior cruciate ligament ruptures and 232 matched control participants were also analysed. Based on high linkage with the previously associated MMP3 variant rs679620, rs3025058 was inferred and found to be associated with increased risk for Achilles tendinopathy within the South African group (P = 0.012; OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.4 to 6.1). Lastly, the 6A-G-C-G haplotype, constructed from the investigated variants, was significantly associated with reduced risk for Achilles tendinopathy (29% CON vs. 20% TEN, P = 0.037) in the Australian group. In conclusion, a signal surrounding MMP3 is apparent with respect to Achilles tendinopathy. However, whether the investigated variants are contributing to injury susceptibility or whether they are merely linked to the risk conferring variants mapping elsewhere within the MMP gene cluster on chromosome 11, still requires refining.

Abstract
Interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8), originally identified as a leukemic tumor suppressor, can also exert anti-neoplastic activities in solid tumors. We previously showed that IRF8-loss enhanced tumor growth, which was accompanied by reduced tumor-cell susceptibility to apoptosis. However, the impact of IRF8 expression on tumor growth could not be explained solely by its effects on regulating apoptotic response. Exploratory gene expression profiling further revealed an inverse relationship between IRF8 and MMP3 expression, implying additional intrinsic mechanisms by which IRF8 modulated neoplastic behavior. Although MMP3 expression was originally linked to tumor initiation, the role of MMP3 beyond this stage has remained unclear. Therefore, we hypothesized that MMP3 governed later stages of disease, including progression to metastasis, and did so through a novel IRF8-MMP3 axis. Altogether, we showed an inverse mechanistic relationship between IRF8 and MMP3 expression in tumor progression. Importantly, the growth advantage due to IRF8-loss was significantly compromised after silencing MMP3 expression. Moreover, MMP3-loss reduced spontaneous lung metastasis in an orthotopic mouse model of mammary carcinoma. MMP3 acted, in part, in a cell-intrinsic manner and served as a direct transcriptional target of IRF8. Thus, we identified a novel role of an IRF8-MMP3 axis in tumor progression, which unveils new therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by arterial hypoxemia accompanied by severe inflammation and alterations to the pulmonary surfactant system. Published data has demonstrated a protective effect of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (Mmp3) deficiency against the inflammatory response associated with ARDS; however, the effect of Mmp3 on physiologic parameters and alterations to surfactant have not been previously studied. It was hypothesized that Mmp3 deficient (Mmp3(-/-)) mice would be protected against lung dysfunction associated with ARDS and maintain a functional pulmonary surfactant system. Wild type (WT) and Mmp3(-/-) mice were subjected to acid-aspiration followed by mechanical ventilation. Mmp3(-/-) mice maintained higher arterial oxygenation compared with WT mice at the completion of ventilation. Significant increase in functional large aggregate surfactant forms were observed in Mmp3(-/-) mice compared with WT mice. These findings further support a role of Mmp3 as an attractive therapeutic target for drug development in the setting of ARDS.

Abstract
Little is known about the impact of the 5A/6A polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) on recurrence of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke in Chinese. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of MMP-3 serum level and 5A/6A genetic polymorphism with the recurrence of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke in the Chinese Han population. We analyzed 106 large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) recurrent ischemic stroke patients and 545 LAA first onset ischemic stroke patients from January 2009 to June 2014. Serum MMP-3 concentrations were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The genotypes of MMP-3 promoter polymorphism (-1171 5A/6A) were determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The frequencies of MMP-3 5A/6A+5A/5A (32.08% vs. 21.47%, p = 0.02) genotype and 5A (16.98% vs. 11.01%, p = 0.01) allele in the recurrent group was significantly higher than those in the first onset group. After adjustment for vascular risk factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that the MMP-3 5A/6A+5A/5A genotype was an independent risk factor for LAA recurrent ischemic stroke (odds ratio [OR], 1.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-2.79, p = 0.021). No significant difference was observed for the MMP-3 serum concentrations between the recurrent group and the first onset group (22.23 ± 8.31 vs. 21.49 ± 7.89 ng/ul, t = 0.88, p = 0.38). The MMP-3 (-1171 5A/6A) polymorphism may contribute to LAA recurrent ischemic stroke susceptibility. Analysis of 5A/6A polymorphism in MMP-3 may identify patients at higher risk for LAA ischemic stroke recurrence, who may be selected for intensive preventive therapy.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1/2) on the inflammation cytokine tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-enhanced production of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in human dental pulp fibroblast-like cells (HPFs). METHODOLOGY HPFs were grown from pulp explants from healthy donors. Primary cultures were established by culturing the cells for 20 to 30 days. The experiments with HPFs were performed between passages 3 and 10. The HPFs were incubated in serum-free medium containing TNF-α for 24 h. The medium in each well was prepared in SDS sample buffer and was analysed for MMP-3 by Western blotting. RESULTS JNK inhibitor SP601245 markedly inhibited the production of MMP-3 in TNF-α-stimulated human dental pulp fibroblasts. MMP-3 production was enhanced by TNF-α in HPFs; silencing JNK1 and JNK2 expression inhibited this activation. cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) was activated by TNF-α in HPFs; silencing JNK1 and JNK2 expression inhibited this activation. CONCLUSION The activation of CREB via JNK pathways in the presence of TNF-α occurred with enhancement of MMP-3 production in dental pulp fibroblasts.

Abstract
AIM Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) plays a pivotal role in the destruction of bone and degradation of cartilage components in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed in this study to analyze the relation between baseline levels of MMP-3 and the progression of joint damage in RA. METHODS Eighty-one untreated RA patients with joint symptoms for <1 year were evaluated at baseline and after 12 months as regards erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) and plain X-ray of both hands and wrists. Baseline levels of MMP-3 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of hands/wrists was performed. Disease Activity Score (DAS28) and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) were performed at baseline evaluation and after 12 months. RESULTS The baseline MMP-3 levels were significantly higher in the high-progression group compared with the low-progression one (95.75 ± 42.84 vs. 50.45 ± 12.83, P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between baseline levels of MMP-3 and MRI erosion score and other baseline clinical parameters, except for HAQ and the van der Heijde modification of the Sharp scoring system (SvdH) scores, while after 12 months, there were high positive correlations between MMP-3 and SvdH score, as well as all parameters except for ESR. CONCLUSION Serum baseline levels of MMP-3 are strong prognostic markers of disease activity, and act well as an early predictor of progressive joint damage in recent-onset RA disease.

Abstract
The extremophilic microbes of the Berkeley Pit Lake are a valuable source of new and interesting secondary metabolites. It is of particular interest that these acidophilic microbes produce small molecule inhibitors of pathways associated with low pH and high Eh. These same small molecules also inhibit molecular pathways induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation in mammalian cells. Low pH is a hallmark of inflammation and high Eh is one of ROS, so the suitability of this collection as a source of bioactive metabolites is actually quite biorational. Compound isolation was guided by inhibition of caspase-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-3, and active compounds were sent to the National Cancer Institute-Developmental Therapeutics Program and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer center for evaluation as either antiproliferative or cytotoxic agents.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration in injured joints. Since fibronectin-fragments (Fn-fs) degrade cartilage mainly through up-regulating matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, we hypothesized that Fn-fs play a key role in PTOA by promoting chondrolysis in and around injured cartilage. To test this hypothesis, we profiled the catabolic events focusing on fibronectin fragmentation and proteinase expression in bovine osteochondral explants following a single blunt impact on cartilage with a drop tower device which created partial-thickness tissue damage. Injured and control explants were cultured for up to 14 days. The presence of Fn-fs, MMPs (-1, -3, -13), ADAMTS-5 in culture media and in cartilage was determined with immunoblotting. The daily proteoglycan (PG) depletion of cartilage matrix was assessed with DMMB assay. The effect of explant-conditioned media on chondrocytes was also examined with immunoblotting. Impacted cartilage released significantly higher amount of native Fn, three chondrolytic Fn-fs and PG than non-impacted controls did. Those increases coincided with up-regulation of MMP-3 both in culture media and in impacted cartilage. These findings support our hypothesis that PTOA may be propelled by Fn-fs which act as catabolic mediators through up-regulating cartilage-damaging proteinases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gingival crevicular fluid levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3), tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 2 (PAI-2) in patients with chronic periodontitis, aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and healthy individuals (controls). MATERIAL AND METHODS Systemically healthy (21 chronic periodontitis, 23 AgP and 20 controls) subjects were included in this study. Plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were recorded and gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected. Assays for IL-1β, MMP-3, t-PA and PAI-2 levels in gingival crevicular fluid were carried out by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used for data analyses. RESULTS Gingival crevicular fluid levels of t-PA and IL-1β were significantly higher in chronic periodontitis and AgP groups than in the control group (p < 0.001). MMP-3 levels in gingival crevicular fluid were detected as significantly higher in the chronic periodontitis and AgP groups compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The t-PA/PAI-2 rate of patients with chronic periodontitis and AgP were significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05). The positive correlations were found among the PAI-2, t-PA, IL-1β and MMP-3 levels in gingival crevicular fluid. The volume of the gingival crevicular fluid correlated with all of the clinical parameters (p < 0.001). There were positive correlations between the gingival crevicular fluid levels of PAI-2 and the probing pocket depth and between gingival crevicular fluid levels of PAI-2 and the clinical attachment level (p < 0.01). Similarly, significant correlations were found between t-PA levels and probing pocket depth and between t-PA levels and clinical attachment level measurements (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The present data showed that gingival crevicular fluid levels of IL-1 β, MMP-3 and t-PA increased in periodontal disease regardless of the periodontitis type and played a part in tissue destruction.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common chronic and progressively degenerative joint condition. The stem bark of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (a member of the Eucommiaceae family), which is also known as Du-Zhong, is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of Eucommia in the treatment of arthritis of the knee require further study. The present study investigated the effects of an aqueous extract of Eucommia on the articular cartilage (by Mankin’s grade) and the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), MMP-3 and MMP-13 in the serum and synovial fluid in a rat model of osteoarthritis. The serum levels of MMP-1, -3 and -13 were measured by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at weeks 1, 2 and 4. The levels of MMP-1, -3 and 13 were significantly decreased in the rats treated with Eucommia compared with those in the control rats (P<0.05). Histopathological examination results indicated a lower Mankin’s grade in the Eucommia group compared with that of the control rats. Therefore, Eucommia was demonstrated to have a cartilage-protecting effect in rats with osteoarthritis, potentially by improving cartilage metabolism, regulating the degradation of the extracellular matrix of the articular cartilage, and inhibiting apoptosis in chondrocytes, thereby slowing down joint degeneration.

Abstract
Polymorphisms of PDGFRB, MMP-3, TIMP-2, RNF213, TGFB1, Raptor and eNOS genes have been associated with Moyamoya disease (MMD) separately in studies, but their interactions on MMD have never been evaluated in one study. This study enrolled 96 MMD patients and 96 controls to evaluate the contributions and interactions of these polymorphisms on MMD in Chinese Hans. After genotyping, five polymorphisms loci were deemed suitable for analysis, rs3828610 in PDGFRB, rs3025058 in MMP-3, rs8179090 in TIMP-2, rs112735431 and rs148731719 in RNF213. Interactions of different loci on MMD were evaluated by multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method. Significantly higher frequencies of A allele and G/A genotype of rs112735431 in RNF213 were observed in MMD patients compared with controls (P=0.011; P=0.018, respectively). In the dominant model, G/A genotype of rs112735431 was associated with increased risk of MMD (P=0.018). A higher frequency of G allele and G/G genotype of rs148731719 in RNF213 gene in patient than control group (P<0.001; P<0.01, respectively) was also detected. No significant association between MMD and other three loci (P>0.05) was detected. MDR analysis failed to detect any significant interaction among these five loci in the occurrence of MMD (P>0.05), but the combination of three loci (rs112735431 in RNF213, rs3828610 in PDGFRB, rs3025058 in MMP-3) could have the maximum testing accuracy (57.29%) and cross-validation consistency (10/10). The results indicated that RNF213 rs112735431 and rs148731719 may exert a significant influence on MMD occurrence. Compared with this overwhelming effect, the influences of PDGFRB, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 on MMD may be unremarkable in Chinese Hans. There may be no prominent interaction among these five gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of MMD.

Abstract
Background: Initial research has shown a positive correlation between the severity of periodontal disease and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) concentrations in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). However, there are no enough reports to correlate the MMP-3 concentrations in GCF in periodontal health, disease and after treatment. Hence, the present study is to estimate the levels of MMP-3 in GCF in periodontal health, disease and to evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy on MMP-3 concentrations in GCF. Materials and Methods: Periodontal examination and collection of GCF by extracrevicular method was performed in 30 subjects selected randomly and categorized into three groups. Group I (Healthy, n=10), group II (Chronic periodontitis, n=20) and group III (After treatment group, n=20). Scaling and root planing (SRP) was performed and GCF was collected after 8 weeks of treatment. MMP-3 levels were estimated in GCF samples using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: MMP-3 was detected in all samples. Highest mean MMP-3 concentrations in GCF were obtained for group II (7.490 ng/ml), while the lowest concentrations were seen in group I (0.344 ng/ml) and group III (2.129 ng/ml). This suggests that MMP-3 levels in GCF increases proportionally with the progression of periodontal disease and decreases after treatment. Conclusion: There is a substantial increase in the concentrations of MMP-3 as periodontal disease progresses. Since MMP-3 levels in GCF are positively correlated with gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level, MMP-3 may be considered as a “novel biomarker” in periodontal disease progression. However, controlled, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this possibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Considering the role of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, the present study is to estimate the levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in periodontal health, disease and to evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy on MMP-3 and TIMP-1 concentrations in GCF. MATERIALS AND METHODS A periodontal examination and collection of GCF by extra-crevicular method was performed in 30 subjects selected randomly and categorized into 3 groups. Group I consists of 10 subjects Group II consists of 20 patients and Group III consists of 20 patients of Group II. Non surgical periodontal therapy was performed, and GCF was collected after 8 weeks from the same site of 20 chronic periodontitis patients who are considered as Group III. MMP- 3 and TIMP-1 levels were estimated in GCF-samples by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The findings were analyzed using the software and descriptive statistical methods such as Mann- Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test. P value < 0.001 was considered significant. RESULTS MMP-3 and TIMP-1 was detected in all samples. Highest mean MMP-3 concentrations in GCF were obtained for Group II (7.490 ng/ml) while the lowest concentrations were seen in Group I (0.344 ng/ml) and Group III (2.129 ng/ml). This suggests that MMP-3 levels in GCF increases proportionally with the progression of periodontal disease and decreases after treatment. Lowest mean TIMP-1 concentrations in GCF were obtained for Group-II (1.592 ng/ml), while the highest concentrations were seen in Group-I (8.78 ng/ml) and Group-III (6.40 ng/ml). This suggests that TIMP-1 levels in GCF decreases proportionally with progression of periodontal disease and increases after treatment. CONCLUSION There is a substantial increase in the concentrations of MMP-3 and decrease in TIMP-1 as periodontal disease progress. Since MMP-3 and TIMP-1 levels in GCF are positively correlated with gingival index, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment loss, MMP-3, and TIMP-1 may be considered as a Novel Biomarkers in periodontal disease. However, controlled, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this possibility.

Abstract
Fragment based drug discovery remains a successful tool for pharmaceutical lead discovery. Although based upon the principle of thermodynamic additivity, the underlying thermodynamic basis is poorly understood. A thermodynamic additivity analysis was performed using stromelysin-1 and a series of biphenyl hydroxamate ligands identified through fragment additivity. Our studies suggest that, in this instance, additivity arises from enthalpic effects, while interaction entropies are unfavorable; this thermodynamic behavior is masked by proton transfer. Evaluation of the changes in constant pressure heat capacities during binding suggest that solvent exclusion from the binding site does not account for the dramatic affinity enhancements observed.

Abstract
The mechanisms of melanoma invasion are poorly understood despite extensive inquiry. SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2) is an embryonic stem cell transcription factor that has recently been discovered to be expressed in human melanoma where it is associated with dermal invasion and primary tumor thickness. To assess the potential role of SOX2 expression in melanoma invasion, we examined patient melanomas and humanized melanoma xenografts, and noted preferential SOX2 expression in cells that interfaced and infiltrated dermal stroma. Experimental knockdown (KD) of SOX2 mRNA and protein in A2058 melanoma cells with high constitutive SOX2 expression resulted in 4.5-fold decreased invasiveness in vitro compared with controls (P<0.0001). Conversely, when G361 cells that normally express low SOX2 were transduced to overexpress SOX2 mRNA and protein, a 3.8-fold increase in invasiveness was observed (P=0.0004). Among 84 invasion-related genes, RT-PCR screening revealed that SOX2 KD resulted in striking decrease in matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), an endopeptidase associated with cleavage of the extracellular matrix. Quantitatively, SOX2 KD diminished MMP-3 mRNA by 87.8%. MMP-3 KD in SOX2-expressing A2058 cells served to inhibit invasion, although to a lesser degree than SOX2 KD. Finally, immunostaining of patient and xenograft melanomas revealed coordinate SOX2 and MMP-3 expression in regions of stromal infiltration. These data implicate SOX2 expression in melanoma invasion, and suggest a role for MMP-3 as one potential mediator of this process.

Abstract
The matrix metalloproteinases are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Alterations in the structure and composition of the ECM play a key role in the atherogenic process. Recent data suggest the important role of MMPs in the development of atherosclerosis and future cardiovascular events. Expressed at low levels in normal tissue, MMPs are upregulated in remodeling processes. Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is present in atherosclerotic plaques and acts in the degradation of the fibrous cap of the atheroma. Many clinical studies reported that increased MMP-3 level and also the gene polymorphism of MMP were the independent cardiovascular risk factors. MMPs represent an attractive target to prevent matrix degradation, atherosclerosis and possible cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by a sustained inflammatory cascade that gives rise to the release of mediators capable of degrading and modifying bowel wall structure. Our aims were (i) to measure the production of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and its tissue inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), by inflamed and uninflamed colonic mucosa in IBD, and (ii) to correlate their production with that of proinflammatory cytokines and the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10. Thirty-eight patients with IBD, including 25 with Crohn's disease and 13 with ulcerative colitis, were included. Ten controls were also studied. Biopsies were taken from inflamed and uninflamed regions and inflammation was graded both macroscopically and histologically. Organ cultures were performed for 18 h. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-6, IL-1beta, IL-10, MMP-3 and TIMP-1 concentrations were measured using specific immunoassays. The production of both MMP-3 and the TIMP-1 were either undetectable or below the sensitivity of our immunoassay in the vast majority of uninflamed samples either from controls or from those with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. In inflamed mucosa, the production of these mediators increased significantly both in Crohn's disease (P < 0.01 and 0.001, respectively) and ulcerative colitis (P < 0.001 and 0.001, respectively). Mediator production in both cases was significantly correlated with the production of proinflammatory cytokines and IL-10, as well as with the degree of macroscopic and microscopic inflammation. Inflamed mucosa of both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis show increased production of both MMP-3 and its tissue inhibitor, which correlates very well with production of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-10.
