Abstract
BACKGROUND Collagen metabolism, controlled by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), might be related to inguinal hernia formation. It was reported that the incidence of inguinal hernia and the recurrence rate after inguinal hernia repair were higher in the elderly. The objective of the research was to assess the amounts of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in patients at different ages in order to examine the relationship between age and inguinal hernia occurrence. METHODS The research included 40 primary inguinal hernia male patients, and four groups were created: 50-59 years old (A group); 60-69 years old (B group); 70-79 years old (C group); 80-89 years old (D group). We got the samples from anterior rectus sheath fascia. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry were applied to estimate the levels of MMP-2 and TIMP-2. RESULTS The MMP-2 amounts in C and D group were statistically higher than control group (P < 0.05), and the TIMP-2 levels in C and D group were statistically lower than control group (P < 0.05). We found a positive correlation between age and expression levels of MMP-2 (r = 0.537, P < 0.001; r = 0.569, P < 0.001) and a negative correlation between age and TIMP-2 in inguinal hernia patients (r = - 0.759, P < 0.001; r = - 0.759, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Increased MMP-2 and reduced TIMP-2 may have some relationships with higher inguinal hernia incidence of the elderly.

Polytrauma in Older Adults Leads to Significantly Increased TIMP-1 Levels in the Early Posttraumatic Period. J Immunol Res 2020; 2020:4936374. [PMID: 32258173 PMCID: PMC7085877 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4936374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Revised: 01/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients after polytrauma regularly suffer from posttraumatic immune system destabilization, which closely influences the further clinical development. Increasing age has recently been identified as an isolated risk factor for an adverse outcome after major trauma. Higher rates and intensity of acute inflammation following severe injury suggest that deregulated inflammation may contribute to these higher rates of posttraumatic morbidity and mortality in older adults. MMP-9 and TIMP-1 have been found to play a major role in posttraumatic immune disorder in a previous genome-wide mRNA analysis. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in serum protein dynamics in older and younger polytraumatized adults. Methods Blood samples were drawn immediately within 90 minutes after trauma and subsequently after 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. Serum levels of TIMP-1 and MMP-9 were quantified using ELISA. Age groups were divided according to a cutoff of 60 years. Results 60 polytrauma patients (ISS > 16) were included (<60 years, n = 49; ≥60 years, n = 49; ≥60 years, n = 11). Serum TIMP-1 and MMP-9 levels showed a highly significant serum dynamic in young and old polytrauma patients (p < 0.001). Patients ≥ 60 years showed significantly higher overall TIMP-1 levels (p < 0.001). Patients ≥ 60 years showed significantly higher overall TIMP-1 levels (p = 0.008). TIMP-1 levels showed a significant maximum after 72 h in the older study population. MMP-9 levels were nonsignificantly higher during the whole observational period in older polytrauma patients when compared to younger patients. Conclusion The posttraumatic immune response is characterized by significantly higher TIMP-1 levels in older polytrauma patients. This significant association between TIMP-1 levels and patients' age indicates a more extensive immune dysregulation following major trauma in older adults.

Matrix metalloproteases MMP-2 and MMP-9: are they early biomarkers of bone remodelling and healing after arthroscopic acromioplasty? Injury 2010; 41:1204-7.

Abstract
Arthroscopic acromioplasty, one of the most frequent procedures in shoulder surgery, can promote tissue healing process by the release of growth/angiogenic factors from the acromion. Matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 are involved in such process. The purpose of this study was to measure MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels in the articular fluid and in the peripheral blood of patients undergoing arthroscopic acromioplasty in order to better understand the local involvement of such factors in the healing process after surgical procedures. Concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the subacromial space and peripheral blood collected shortly after surgery were determined by ELISA. MMP-2 and MMP-9 concentrations were measured in the subacromial fluid of 23 patients. In subacromial fluid, the levels between MMP-2 and MMP-9 did not reach statistical significance (127.15±45.56 vs 149.41±53.61 pg/ml, respectively, p>0.05). Peripheral blood levels of MMP-2 (130.75±47.48 pg/ml) were comparable to the subacromial fluid ones (127.15±45.56 pg/ml) whereas MMP-9 level was higher in the subacromial space (149.41±53.61 pg/ml) than in the peripheral blood (67.61±12.62 pg/ml, p<0.001). This work suggests that the measurement of bone specific MMPs (MMP-2 and MMP-9) can be an useful tool to be monitored in parallel with growth factor levels and other bone turnover markers in order to evaluate the bone remodelling and tissue healing processes. This study suggests that the measurement of bone specific MMPs levels, in particular MMP-9, may evaluate the bone remodelling and healing after arthroscopic shoulder acromioplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 may play a role in cardiovascular disease susceptibility by influencing plaque rupture via its ability to degrade extracellular collagens. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a genome-wide association analysis of circulating MMP-1 levels using 500 K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify genes influencing variation in serum MMP-1 levels in 778 healthy Amish adults. Serum MMP-1 levels, logarithm transformed, and adjusted for age and sex, were screened for association with SNPs using mixed-model variance components to account for familial relatedness. Median MMP-1 level was 3.05 ng/mL (interquartile range: 1.82 to 5.04 ng/mL) with an estimated heritability of 81% (P<0.0001). Serum MMP-1 levels were strongly associated with a cluster of 179 SNPs extending over an 11.5-megabase region on chromosome 11q. The peak association was with rs495366 (P = 5.73 x 10(-34)), located within the region between MMP-1 and MMP-3 and having a minor allele frequency of 0.36. Two other SNPs within the 11q region, rs12289128 and rs11226373, were strongly associated with MMP-1 levels after accounting for rs495366 (P < or = 10(-7)). These 3 SNPs explained 31% of the variance in MMP-1 levels after adjusting for age and sex. CONCLUSIONS This study provides strong evidence that the serum MMP-1 level is highly heritable and that SNPs near MMPs on chromosome 11q explain a significant portion of the variation in MMP-1 levels. Identification of the genetic variants that influence MMP-1 levels may provide insights into genetic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease.

Genetic variation in candidate osteoporosis genes, bone mineral density, and fracture risk: the study of osteoporotic fractures. Calcif Tissue Int 2008; 83:155-66. [PMID: 18787887 PMCID: PMC2699257 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-008-9165-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2008] [Accepted: 07/19/2008] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Candidate osteoporosis gene variants were examined for associations with fracture risk and bone mineral density (BMD). A total of 9,704 white women were recruited at four U.S. clinical centers and enrolled into the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures, a longitudinal cohort study. Genotyping of 31 polymorphisms from 18 candidate osteoporosis genes was performed in 6,752 women. Incident radiographic fractures were identified at the third and eighth examinations compared with the baseline examination. BMD was measured at the total hip by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Analyses were adjusted for age, clinic site, and self-reported ethnicity. During a mean follow-up of 14.5 years, a total of 849 hip, 658 vertebral, and 2,496 nonhip/nonvertebral fractures occurred in 6,752 women. Women carrying the ALOX15_G48924T T/T genotype had a higher rate of hip fracture (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.33;95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.00-1.77) compared with the G/G genotype. Compared with those carrying the PRL_T228C T/T genotype, women with either the C/C (HR = 0.80; 95% CI = 0.67-0.95) or C/T (HR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.68-0.97) genotype had a lower rate of nonvertebral/nonhip fractures. Women carrying the BMP2_A125611G G/G genotype had a higher rate of vertebral fracture (odds ratio [OR] = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.03-2.23) compared with the A/A genotype. Women with the ESR1_C1335G G/G genotype had a higher rate of vertebral fracture (OR = 1.64; 95% CI = 1.07-2.50) compared with the C/C genotype. Compared with those with the MMP2_C595T C/C genotype, women with the C/T (OR = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.65-0.96) or T/T (OR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.27-0.72) genotype had a lower rate of vertebral fracture. In conclusion, polymorphisms in several candidate genes were associated with hip, vertebral, and nonhip/nonvertebral fractures but not with total hip BMD in this large population based cohort study.
