“…The importance of Mmp13 metalloproteinase to innate immune cell recruitment has been documented recently. For example, hepatic neutrophil recruitment is reduced in Mmp-13-deficient mice (53), and the Gr-1 ϩ CD11b ϩ myeloid cells express high levels of Mmp13 and Mmp14 to enhance migration and tumor metastasis (54), suggesting an important function for Mmp13 in ECM remodeling and cellular movement.…”

The growth factor TGF-b is secreted in a latent complex consisting of three proteins: TGF-b, an inhibitor (latency-associated protein, LAP, which is derived from the TGF-b propeptide) and an ECM-binding protein (one of the latent TGF-b binding proteins, or LTBPs). LTBPs interact with fibrillins and other ECM components and thus function to localize latent TGF-b in the ECM. LAP contains an integrin-binding site (RGD), and several RGD-binding integrins are able to activate latent TGF-b through binding this site. Mutant mice defective in integrin-mediated activators, and humans and mice with fibrillin gene mutations, show the critical role of ECM and integrins in regulating TGF-b signaling.

“…In the liver, hepatic stellate cells and Kupffer cells are thought to be the main source of MMPs (Arthur, 2000). Hepatocytes produce MMP-13 upon injury and loss of MMP-13 has lead to attenuation of fibrosis in a mouse model of liver disease (Uchinami et al, 2006).…”

a b s t r a c tHuman matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to the M10 family of the MA clan of endopeptidases. They are ubiquitarian enzymes, structurally characterized by an active site where a Zn 2+ atom, coordinated by three histidines, plays the catalytic role, assisted by a glutamic acid as a general base. Various MMPs display different domain composition, which is very important for macromolecular substrates recognition. Substrate specificity is very different among MMPs, being often associated to their cellular compartmentalization and/or cellular type where they are expressed. An extensive review of the different MMPs structural and functional features is integrated with their pathological role in several types of diseases, spanning from cancer to cardiovascular diseases and to neurodegeneration. It emerges a very complex and crucial role played by these enzymes in many physiological and pathological processes.
